A UNL geology professor
arrested for allegedly being a
Soviet spy?
T. Mylan Stout was posed
with such a problem when he
made a research expedition to
Germany when the military
forces were occupying it in
1953.
"Travel in occupied nations
was especially difficult in those
days," he said.
Stout explained that he was
on an expedition to find fossil
remains in Europe that could
be compared to Nebraska
fossils. Many Nebraska animals
living in the past had relatives
in Europe, he said, and
comparative analyses of the
fossils allow scientists to
establish geological history.
While Stout's interests lie in
the study of rodent fossils, he
is also interested in the study
of stratigraphy, the study of
layers of the earth, he said.
By examining layers of
earth, scientists may be able to
place the time events of the
past, Stout said.
Stout said he has researched
the Ice Age as it affected
Nebraska by studying deposits
left in layers of earth. Glaciers,
which covered Nebraska began
retreating 9,000 to 10,000
years ago, leaving deposits in
layers of earth, he said.
"Nebraska is a rich
storehouse of the past," he
said. A remnant of a glacial
period is the boulder in front
of Morrill Hall, he said.
"We (geologists) haven't
analyzed glacial deposits
sufficiently to know if we are
still in an ice age," he said.
Although scientists study
past events, much historical
information can be used to
predict what may happen in
the future, Stout said.
Scientists are studying
geological history to predict
what could happen to mankind
as the environment changes, he
said.
Stout, who has been a
member of the UNL teaching
staff since 1938, was bom and
raised in Big Springs. He
received his bachelor's degree
from the university in 1936
and his master's degree from
Columbia University in 1937.

European fossils.
More ag graduates farming
The number of UNL College
of Agriculture graduates
returning to farms and ranches
has risen from 20 per cent to
more than 37 per cent in the
last five years, according to
Ted Hartung, dean of the
College of Agriculture.
"Continuing growth like
this cuts down on the number
of candidates for agribusiness
jobs and gives students who
enter agribusiness industries
more selection, Hartung said.
The number of agribusiness
firms hiring through the
agriculture placement office
has increased, he said.
More government jobs
Agricultural credit agencies,
agronomy supply companies
and government agencies have
had the biggest increase in job
openings, he said.

Students who plan to enter
farming or ranching directly
after graduation usually move
into a family corporation,
Hartung said.
Hartung said there are other
opportunities, however.
"Recently, I received word
of an elderly couple near
Fremont who wants to bring a
young graduate into their
operation and work out some
sort of arrangement where the
student can take over the
operation and keep it going,"
Hartung said. "They don't like
the idea of just selling
everything and want to keep
the farm working."
The trend of returning to
the farms is extended
throughout the north central
region, Hartung said. At a
meeting in Ames, Iowa earlier
this week he said
representatives from several
schools in the region said their
schools have felt a stronger
demand for agriculture
graduates and are having more
students who return to farming
and ranching.
1.5 job offers
Hartung said the officials
estimated there are one and
one-half job offers per student.
A top student could receive
four or five good job offers, he
said.
"A lot depends on his area
of specialty," he said. "Job
availability is very low in
natural resources and wildlife
management right now and the
demand is high in a number of
fields-fopd science, animal
science, agronomy and
horticulture, for example."
Hartung said his office
handles only graduate
placement. Most undergraduate
summer work placement is
handled through college
departments. An estimated 300
students have interviewed for
jobs this spring, he said.
