poll watcher present at the
booths at all times. These poll
watchers must be registered with
the ASUO president 48 hours
before the election.
Booths will be located in the
Student Union, in front of Com
monwealth hall, by Friendly hall
and in the quad in front of the
library.
No booths will be located in
Straub or Carson hall this year
as in the past. Ransom explained
this gives unfair advantage to
freshmen living in these dormi

having booths in the freshmen

University Signs
Teaching Compact
A contract between the Uni- j
versity and the United States
foreign operations administration
for the training of 1750 school
teachers in Nepal was signed
•June 1 of this year and an
nouncement of the agreement
was made last weekend by the
University president’s office.
According to the agreement,
the University will be represent
ed by a project director in Nepal
to assist the Nepalese ministry
of education in setting up short
term teacher training courses.
Hugh B. Wood, professor of
education, has been selected as<
the representative and was pres- ;
ent for the signing of the June ,
1 agreement in Katmandu.
The agreement calls for the
training of 150 new teachers and
1100 experienced teachers during
the first year and double that
number each year until 1750 have
been trained. The budget allotted
by the FOA covers a three year
period starting with $65,000 the
first year of operation, with the i
! total to amount to $220,000.
The University will also help
to establish a four-year degree
granting teachers college in the
Himalayan nation.
Wood expects to return in
1955, the end of the first year
of operation, bringing with him
seven Nepalese teachers to be
selected by him and the Nepalese
ministry of education.
The seven teachers will study
here at the University under
Wood’s supervision for 18
months. They then shall return
to Nepal as the nucleus of the
Tri Chandra Teachers college, to
be established in Katmandu. This
will be the first college of its
kind in Nepal where seven out
of every one hundred cannot
read nor write.
Nepal, a landlocked country
about the size of Iowa, is sit
uated on the north side of In
dia and south of Tibet in the
Himalaya mountains. Formerly
under British domination, Nepal
gained her independence in 1923,
but has continued to aid Britain
in time of war.

Short Shorted
If you see a young man walk
ing around campus today in a
barrel, it may be the Emerald
editor.
While away for the weekend,
there was a small fire in Joe
Gardner’s room at the Phi Kappa
Psi house and all of his cloths
were smoked up—even his shorts.
One consolation is that he has
the charcoal slacks, white bucks
and blue sweater he was wear
ing on his trip.
Too bad, Joe, it’s rather nippy
out isn’t it?
