UNL's geology department got a
piece of the rock Friday Australian
style.
The ore deposit samples were
donated to the department by John
Clema Jr., who was a UNL geology stu
dent 28 years ago and now lives in
Torrak Gardens of southern Australia.
Samuel Treves, the geology professor
who greeted the 1 '4-ton delivery, said
the samples represent a "showy collec
tion" because they were Clema's own
for 20 years.
Clema has been working in Australia
since he left UNL and collected the
rocks during his travels, Treves said.
Clema gave a few samples, 25 per
cent of which were gold, to the geology
department last summer, Treves said.
He offered to send more.
The 5-foot tall box delivered to Bes
sey Hall's loading dock last week was
the second shipment.
After the samples are numbered and
cataloged, some may be displayed in
UNL's Morrill Hall, depending on their
quality, Treves said. Others will be
used in classrooms and for laboratory
work in economic geology, he said.
"The samples give us an advantage,"
Treves said, "because students won't
have to depend on the literature as
much."
Although he hasn't had a chance to
study the rocks yet, Treves said the
specimens are from the "classic areas"
of western Australia areas that have
been thoroughly studied and cited in
textbooks.
Treves said he didn't know how
much it cost to ship the rocks from
Australia, but some money was saved
on the venture.
"They have a special rate for crushed
rock," he said.

Although Elisabeth Elliot plays
before more civilized audiences these
days, she has to work just as hard to get
her message across.
Elliot, a best-selling author and
former missionary to primitive Indian
tribes in Ecuador, spoke about topics
ranging from the will of God to dating
and courtship Thursday through Sat
urday at the Nebraska Union. Her visit,
which concluded with a "leadership
luncheon" Saturday, was sponsored by
the Baptist Student Union and other
UNL Christian groups. About 800 UNL
students attended Elliot's speeches
over the three days, said Brett Yohn,
Baptist Student Union director.
Elliot, 59, stresses the importance of
obedience and trust in God.
"It comes down to ordinary, every
day, fulfilling obligations for the sake
of Christ," she said.
For college students, she said, dili
gence in their studies can be a way to
do God's will. But to practice obe
dience and spread one's faith, Elliot
said, one must be willing to take risks.
"Jesus told us, 'If you lose your life
for my sake, you'll find it,' " she said.
"Today's society just tells the op
posite." Elliot, a 1948 graduate of Wheaton
College in Wheaton, 111., took such
risks during her years as a missionary.
She went to Ecuador in 1952 and stayed
11 years, during which she helped
develop a written language for three
Indian tribes. She and her husband,
Jim, whom she first met at Wheaton,
were married in Ecuador in 1953.
Two years later, the Elliots and fel
low missionary families began an effort
to bring Christianity to the Aucas, a
forest tribe that tended to kill outsid
ers. The missionaries early contacts
with the Aucas were friendly, Elliot
said, but on Jan. 8, 1956, Jim Elliot and
four others were suddenly attacked
and killed.
The missionaries continued efforts
to reach the Aucas despite the killings,
Elliot said. On Oct. 8, 1958, Elliot, her
young daughter, Valerie, and the sister
of one of the other missionaries who
were killed walked into an Auca set
tlement. The stayed with the tribe for
three years.
Elliot's first book, 'Through Gates of
Splendor," which told the story of the
dead missionaries, sold 750,000 copies
after it was published in 1957. She
returned to the United States in 1963
and turned to writing and speaking full
time. She has written 17 books and
spends about one-third of the year on
the road giving speeches.
Witnessing is more difficult today
than in the past, Elliot said, because of
the changes in society.
"Young people today resist any kind
of commitment," she said. "They don't
want to commit themselves to this col
lege, this major, this career, let alone a
man or woman to marry.
"Commitment has to be the ac
knowledgment of limitation 'I have
to do this one thing,' " she said.

The UNL Meats Judging team placed
8th overall in its first contest, the
National Western Intercollegiate Meat
Judging Contest.
Texas A & M was overall winner in
the contest, which was Jan. 12 in Gree
ley, Colo.
Duane Starkey, coach of the meats
team, said the event was a "learning
contest."
UNL's team finished fifth in "plac
ing." Teams win points in "placing" by
putting carcasses into the same cate
gory as the official judges, Starkey said.
Starkey said Lane Christenson, judg
ing as an alternate, had the highest
individual performance.
Bob W'iseman finished third in lamb
judging, he said.
Other team members include Char
lotte Lentfer, Denise Raiter and Dan
Hilgenkamp.
