Thousands of visitors tramp
through the hails of the
University State Museum each
year.
Many of them, perhaps, are
impressed with what they see.
But most of them probably
don't know what they're
missing.
Only a few thousand of the
museum's collection of more
than three million specimens
axe on display at Morrill Hall,
according to C. Bert rand
Schultz, museum director.
The rest of the specimens
are located in the museum's

Student councils
attend workshop
Developing communication
and decision-making skills is
the emphasis of a statewide
student council leadership
workshop being held this week
at the Nebraska Center for
Continuing Education.
Some 212 student delegates
representing about 100 high
schools arc attending the
annual conference sponsored
by the Nebraska Association of
Student Councils (NASC),
according to Ron Joekel,
NASC executive secretary.
The student delegates arc
assigned to 17 mythical
student councils to practice
leadership and decision-making
skills, Joekel said.
"The basic assumption is
that to deal with people you
have to know them and know
yourself," he said. "That's the
basis of learning how to
communicate."
Each mythical council will
identify student problems such
as dress and grooming codes,
dealing with drugs at school
and how to become involved in
school decikion-msking, Joekel
Wild.
Student service projects,
such as ecology concerns,
tutoring other students, and
service to community social
agencies, are of greater interest
to councils today than
fund-raising projects, which
used to be a major concern, he

collections, housed on the
fourth and fifth floors of
Nebraska Hall.
The 65,000 square feet of
laboratory and research space
was provided from funds of the
National Science Foundation
and legislative appropriations.
Morrill Hall houses the
ed ucational services, health
science and geology divisions
of the museum. But Nebraska

entomology, invertebrate

said.
A special feature of this
year's workshop is an open
discussion with adults.
Students will open the
session with spontaneous
comments of "things I would
tell adults if only they would
listen," Joekel said. A group of
school administrators will
respond with "things I would
like to tell my student council
if they would only listen," he
said. One group cannot speak
while the other group has the
floor.
The open discussion is a
part of the workshop's
emphasis on student input,
Joekel said.
"When the workshop was
first started about 10 years
ago, it was pretty much adults
lecturing the students," he
said. "But now, we're trying to
get away from adult
domination and get more
student involvement."
He said sludent enthusiasm
for the workshop has led some
delegates to sponsor similar
leadership workshops for their
local student council members
and club officers.

Schultz said that in the
1930's it was, decided that the
museum should specialize in
studies of environments of the
past. "We have a wealth of data
on that now," he said.
"The great value in this is
that if we Icnnv what
happened in the past, we can
find out present trends," he
said.
"We used to think, for
example, that there was no

but we now know that there
was an enormous amount of it.
"Because we have our
research collections we can tell
when and perhaps why and
which animals became extinct,
and we can learn about their
migrations," he said.
More recent changes have
been documented by studying
armadillo migration, Schultz
said. In 1846, armadillos were
found only as far north as the
southern tip of Texas, but by
1962, they could live along the
jsourthern edge of Nebraska.
"But all of that's just in the
division of paleontology,"
Schultz said. 'The other
divisions have equally
important contributions, too.
No one division can solve these
problems, but all together we
can contribute to a better
understanding of the
environment."
The museum was
established by the University
Board of Regent's at its first
organizational meeting June
14, 1871. Classes did not start
until three months later. It was
one of the earliest natural
science museums west of the
Mississippi River.
The first chanceiior's report
mentioned that "a spacious
room in the University (Hall)
has been appropriated to the
use of the Cabinet and
Museum."
Since that time, the
museum has earned an
international reputation.
Graduate students and
scientists from all over the
