World ports are classrooms
'. A University junior, Janice Hoover,
went to school in Copenhagen last
semester. She also attended classes
in Punta Arenas, London, Athens and
toe middle of the ocean.
Twenty ports in 18 countries became
laboratories for Miss Hoover and 500
other students enrolled with Chapman
College's World Campus Afloat
(WCA). Classes met an hour a day
apiece, six days a week aboard ship.
When the ship docked, students got
a first-hand look at what they'd been
studying.
They docked at Rome after studying
Vatican art An oceanography class
dived for specimens at one port, she
said. '
- Course content was more specific ana
specialized than would be possible in
a land-locked university, she said. The
anticipation of seeing or experiencing
something made it more important
to learn about it Thus, for Miss
Hoover, the rigorous studies were en
joyable. "I'D NEVER been
out the United
Staes before and I
had a yen to
travel," she commented. 1 decided
this (WCA) was the best way to both
travel and receive college credit"
But she didn't see as much of the
world as she would have liked. The
full itinerary and limited time made
the stay at each port short. "We
barely got used to the port before
we'd have to leave it," Miss Hoover
lamented.
She is not dissatisfied, though. She
made friends in several ports and
found out which places she wants to
spend more time at and which places
to avoid.
One difficulty was pleasant to her,
she said. That was learning to trans
cend the language barrier. She related
an experience in which she spoke with
a man who spoke only French and
German. She speaks only English and
Spanish. She finally used an in
terpreter who spoke Spanish and
French. She often used handsigns as

between school and news media
Colorado television describing NU
football, Don Bryant does it all.
Bryant, University sports informa
tion director, handles these tasks and
more as a liaison between the media,
athletic department and the
University. He also supplies informa
tion and services to media represen
tatives and interested fans.
-
"I WORK in areas where news
reporters don't ordinarily work," he
says. "I supply such things as
brochures, statistics and other things
reporters and broadcasters need."
Serving as a publicity supplier,
Bryant said he tries to reflect the
best of NU athletics and the
University, handling duties such as
supplying film clips and information
to visiting schools.
Other duties include supervising toe
Memorial Stadium press box. serving
as program director for the football
and basketball programs, distributing
rosters, schedule cards and supervis
ing the award program.
COMING TO THE University in
1963, Bryant said the two most dif
ficult items he has handled during
his term were handling the mass of
press in the old football press box
and the hours following the
assassinatiin of President John Ken
nedy when discussions concerned the
Oklahoma-Nebraska football game set
for the next day.
her cost Although granted on the
basis of scholarship and need they
are easy to get, she added. As a
result WCA generally runs in the red,
she added, being supported by Chap
man College.
Anyone interested in talking with
her about WCA is welcome to contact
her. Miss Hoover said. She lives at
817 Pound.
Diplomatic step-in
proposed for Biafra
A letter to President Nixon ex
plaining the plight of the Biafrans and
requesting U.S. non-military in
tervention for ceasefire is being
drafted by the Keep Biafrans Alive
committee of Lincoln.
According to John Anaza, member
of the group's central committee,
various sub-committees have been
formed. Their work would involve ob
taining speakers, drafting letters and
other publicity means to make people
aware of what is happening in
Biafra.
He added that two reknown Biafran
novelists would be touring the U.S. in
April. The committee will address
various civic groups in Lincoln.
"One of the objectives of the
Biafran committee," said Anaza,
"was to get the U.S. gc rnment in
volved. It can best be done by making
the American people aware of the
plight of Biafra."
According to Anaza, such com
mittees have been set up all over tfte
U.S. In Lincoln, the movement started
on the campus and now encompasses
Lincoln.
Anaza added that Americans are
showing great concern for the matter.
He said that a committee of inmates
at tie New Jersey state prison have
been attempting to contribute earn
ings to Biafra. Their plan is to
coordinate a blood drive among the
inmates for Biafran casualties.
According to Anaza, the campaign
to save Biafrans snowballed into a
nation wide campaign by various local
businessmen and ministers whose
goals range from relief and ceasefire
to recognition of Biafra by the U.S.

AUF to lielp retarded
"Into the Light" is the theme of the
spring faculty drive of the All
University Fund (AUF), according to
Tom Wiese, president.
The annual spring drive is aimed at
University faculty and directs the
funds ra&sd to some local need, said
Wiese. This year the Capital Associa
tion for Retarded Children (CARC)
will be the beneficiary, be added. AUF
hopes to raise $3,000 between March 3
and 28.
CARC operates programs .such as
the Lincoln Association for Retarded
Children (LARC) and Teach Retarded
Youth (TRY). Fuz from the AUF
drive are to be channeled through
CARC to provide scholarship? for
retarded children whose parents can't
afford the programs available, Wiese
said.

He said since bowl games come
when the five winter sports are
participating, starting with new
brochures and information presents
special problems.
Although the athletic department
does not always agree with writers'
views, Bryant said the department
respects their right to express opi
nions. But he added that overall, NU
has received tremendous fan and
press support.
HE SAID THE most complicated
football game he handled was when
Air Force met Nebraska in 1963 and
General Powers, SAC chief, was ex
pected to attend. Negotiations were
scheduled and rescheduled for an en
tire week.
Bryant had a code set where a doc
tor's number would be announced
over the public address system.
When the code was called, the SAC
chief was to go to truck ou t s i d e

Bob Devaney said he would have
taken the team to the basement of

gained more satisfaction frcm work
ing with the athletic department.
"I've enjoyed my association with
Bob Devaney and the other great
people such as Chancellors Hardin
and Hobson and Soshnik (Lincoln
campus president)," he said. "I had
great respect for them as a
newspaperman and I wanted to work
for them."
Bryant, named Nebraska
sportswriter of the year in 1961 and
1962 by the National Sportscasters and
Sportswriters Association, said NU
athletes have given him his greatest
thrills.
"Seeing Frankie Solich playing in
the Orange Bowl with a knee so badly
hurt that it had to be operated on
following the game or seeing Bill
(Thunder) Thorton playing against
Michigan in 1962 with a dislocated
shoulder that's what makes
athletics what they are," he said.
A NATIVE of Lincoln and a
graduate of the University, he served
as chairman of the Nebraska Centen
nial Commisson's All Sports Com
mittee for the 1967 celebration, a job
which coincides with his attitude on
Nebraska and sports.
"Nebraska sports fans are the
best," he said, "and working with
the young people at the University
and all sports fans have given me
satisfaction that practically no other
job has."'

ROTC reform suggested
by Civil Liberties Union
The American Civil Liberties Union
has directed three strong recom
mendations to presidents of colleges
where the ROTC program has been
questioned.
The policy statement, developed by
the ACLU Academic Freedom Com
mittee and approved by the ACLU
National Board, suggests that "where
ROTC programs exist, they should be
completely voluntary."
According to the policy, "com
pulsory participation in an ROTC
program as a condition of enrollment
at an educational institution
challenges the concept of an open
university. Academic freedom cannot
flourish where an element of coercion
is present"
THE ACLU urges that where ROTC
is compulsory, this regulation be
revoked and where it is required by
state law, the institution should presc
for repeal.
Secondly, the union recommends
that "academic credit should be
granted only for those ROTC courses
which are acceptable to and under
the control of the regular faculty."
ACLU feels that "the granting of
academic credit for courses prescrib
ed by, taught by and controlled by
an outside agency weakens the in
tegrity of tie university and infringes
on its traditional prerogative of
academic autonomy." The university
coexists with ROTC, makes its
facilities available to it and accredits
its program but exercises little or no
control over its curriculum, instruc
tors and activities."
FINALLY, toe policy states that
"ROTC instructors should not bold

NU freshman cagers
end with 9-3 record
Nebraska's freshman basketball
team ended its season with a 78-66
victory over Kansas State Saturday
night giving coach Bill Harrell a 9-3
record in his first season as head
coach.
Four players, Chuck Jura, Al Nis
sen, Jim White and Mike Peterson,
dominated final rebounding and scor
ing figures. Jura led in scoring with
a 24.2 average and with 291 rebounds.
Nissen bad an 18 average with 199
season rebounds, while White had an
11.1 average and 134 rebounds and
Peterson had a 10.5 average with 127
rebounds.
In outscoring opponents on the aver
age 80.1 to 67, Nebraska committed
962 personal fouls to foe's 805. The
frosh also had a .475 field goal per
centage and a .667 free throw ac
curacy mark.
The team defeated Augustana,
Kansas State, Iowa Western, Creston
Jr. College and Missouri once, beat
Nebraska Western and Iowa State
twice while losing to Kansas State
and twice to McCook Junior College.
academic rank unless they are
members of a normal academic
department subject to regular pro
cedures of appointments and
dismissaL"
Faculty rank is usually regarded
as a recognition of scholarship and
academic standing, yet surveys prove
that "the educational level of the
average ROTC instructor falls well
below the norm for the average col
lege instructor," according to the
ACLU.
College presidents have been asked
for their views on a fourth question:
"Can ROTC, no matter bow well
designed, become compatible with the
spirit of free inquiry, scholarship and
academic autonomy which mutt
characterize a university com
munity?" The Union is currentlj
pursuing an answer to that ques
tion. The ACLU statement is the product
of intensive examination of ROTC by
the national Board Committee. The
Union has also concluded that so-called
Junior ROTC programs conducted
in some secondary schools should be
terminated as inconsistent with the
primary objectives of secondary
school education.

Ferguson said that the elevated type
of road would create many problems
for the residents of the area. Soun I

on the roadway.
By sinking the radial, it would bj

Ferguson said.
He said that at the present onh
the question of "what is to be gaine I

raised and no consideration as to cost
and feasibility has been made.
"If it is economically feasible and
there are things to be gained by goin

this done," Fergusin said.
When asked whether the final pro
