When she died in 1966, she left her massive collection to UNL with the stipulation that it be kept intact. According to UNL archivist Joseph G. Svoboda, nothing was done to sort out the collection until he became archivist in 1968. Since he had no staff to help him, he said he did not have time to sort out the chaotic jumble. The collection needed "highly specialized and detailed work," he said.

Scott Greenwell, a Ph.D. candidate who at the time was a graduate teaching assistant in the history department, was selected to work on the collection under Svoboda's direction. Greenwell currently is writing a dissertation on the historical writings of Mari Sandoz. Personal collection It's a "personal collection of an individual who did research for her writing," Svoboda said. Greenwell said the collection is important "as a source of Nebraska and Great Plains literature, history, and lore, and as a record of the life and labors of one of the persons most responsible for making the region known to the rest of the country and to the world."

If Sweei mm I'm an Air Force officer and this ii my iweet chariot. When I visit home people are happy to see me. And proud. They say I'm doing my part in the community by showing the young people and the adults that you realty can make it. You really can get your share of the good life. S also feel good about my posi tion in the Air Force community. I'm a leader there, too. I m some one the other brothers and sisters I meet in the service can look to. And it reassures them to know they have voice in Air Force matters that concern them. The Air Force needs more lead ers. ..pilots.., aircrew members.., math maiors... science and engi neering maiors. You might be one of them and the best way to find that out is in an Air Force ROfC program. There are two. three, and four year programs. Scholarship and non scholarship. Why not look into all of them an i see if ore fits' your plans? It s worth it, brother.
