Some Important Projectile Point Types From Nebraska, Thomas P. Myers, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information

Archaeologists apply the term "projectile point" to a wide range of tools. Although they used to think projectile points were used only for spears, they now realize hat the heavier, ill-shaped points were used as knives. Ahler 1971).

Projectile points can be made from just about anything that can be sharpened, including stone, glass, wood, bone, and metal. Flaked stone points are most common in Nebraska, although metal points and occasionally bone points have been found.

Concepts Of Career And General Education, Paul A. Olson

Department of English: Faculty Publications

This paper examines the distinctions between general education and education for a career, with a view to synthesizing the literature and presenting salient problems. General education can be defined in several ways. It is defined here as education that puts a person in touch with the main outlines of knowledge available to a historical period or a given culture. Theoretically, education is general if it has no one specific vocation as its end and no one specific discipline or partisan viewpoint as its specialty. By way of example, the medieval quadrivium and trivium can be viewed as "general education," in …

The Hognose Snake: A Prairie Survivor For Ten Million Years, M. R. Voorhies, R. G. Corner, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information

Because they hiss and strike violently when aroused, the harmless little hognose snakes are often considered to be poisonous by people who encounter them. They are not venomous but are truly remarkable animals with specialized behavior and anatomy unusually well suited for life in the grasslands of central North America.

The University of Nebraska State Museum has recently acquired fossil evidence regarding the evolutionary history of these common Great Plains reptiles. We can now trace the record of the hognose snakes back to a time long before the arrival of man, the bison, or even the mammoth on the North …

Our Museum- An Artist's View, Nathan Mohler, Harvey Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information

Museums seem to be all things to all people. Some visitors come to the museum in search of information on specific questions. For others, a visit to the museum with friends is more of a social occasion which makes the acquisition of knowledge become not only a learning experience, but one of entertainment as well. For still others, the museum represents an amalgam of zoo, circus, and perhaps a bit of the carnival sideshow. Certainly the heroic proportions of the restorations of extinct animals, the somewhat macabre mummies, along with the "world's largest elephant," suggest to some the excitement and …

A Dinosaur Revival, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information

Just about everyone loves dinosaurs! Just ask any museum guard, 4th grader, or grandparent looking for souvenirs at a museum's gift shop. The only natural history exhibits that persistently challenge their popularity, in a child's mind, are the fabled mummies of ancient Egypt. Why does just the mention of the name "dinosaur" activate the imagination of most people? Naturally their size and dominating appearance are significant; however, we would hope people are also ---I intrigued by the very fact that these majestic beasts really existed at all, and for some ill-explained reason ----I seemed to disappear at the height of …

Ralph Mueller Planetarium Presents Ufo Program, Jack A. Dunn, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information

In 1974 the Ralph Mueller planetarium presented a program on the subject of UFOs. This program was difficult to produce because of the extremely subjective nature of the topic. It would have been easy to slant such a program in one of two ways. The program might label all persons seeing UFOs as "wild-eyed kooks"; or it could swing to the other extreme, where all testimony and "evidence" are accepted without attempting to subject it to scientific scrutiny. This information, then, is presented in the hope that the reader will realize that the subject can and is being studied in …

Robert Fletcher Gilder: Archeologist For The Museum, Martha Haack, Arthur H. Wolf, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information

With the 1974 donation by Omaha's Joslyn Art Museum of a large collection of artifacts to the University of Nebraska State Museum, a chapter in the history of early archeological work in Nebraska was made complete. The artifacts were collected by Robert F. Gilder in the course of his archeological explorations of 1907-1912. Considering Gilder's long association with the Museum and the fact that much of the pioneering work in Nebraska archeology is unknown to most Nebraskans, a brief discussion of Gilder's life and works is offered.

Graduate Education And New Jobs In Education, Paul A. Olson

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Teacher education has too largely concerned itself with a study of schooling rather than a study of education. In the next generation, given the concerns that I’ve talked about, we’re going to have to look much more intensively, on the one hand, at how much human beings learn as biological creatures and, on the other hand, at all the cultural and legal constraints on learning that exist. We will look at education in industry, in the community, in community action programs, in the tribal council, education through ritual, and through play, as well as through public schooling. The job of …

Relevance And Higher Education: Proceedings Of The Third Annual Meeting Of The National Collegiate Honors Council, 1968, Walter D. Weir

National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs

The papers in this volume were presented at the third annual meeting of the National Collegiate Honors Council at the Olympic Hotel in Seattle, Washington, October 18-20, 1968. The papers indicate our focus on the problems of the relevance of curricula to learning and the relevance of higher education to the world. Black and white students alike urged us to make our programs, our curricula, and our concerns more relevant to the moral and social issues of our time, more relevant to a truly liberal education.

Proceedings Of The Second Annual Meeting Of The National Collegiate Honors Council. Washington, D.C., October 20-22, 1967, Walter D. Weir

National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs

The National Collegiate Honors Council conducted its second annual meeting at the Statler-Hilton Hotel, Washington, D.C., October 20-22, 1967. About 230 faculty members, administrators, and students attended this meeting. The proceedings of that meeting are contained in this volume. The meeting was basically devoted to three concerns: (1) the problem of liaison between secondary schools and college honors programs; (2) problems and developments in the offering of science courses for honors students; (3) the exchange of information about problems and new directions in the honors program of those participating in the meeting. For the most part, the papers in this …

Proceedings Of The First Annual Meeting Of The National Collegiate Honors Council. University Of Kansas, Lawrence, October 22-24, 1966, Walter D. Weir

National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs

The National Collegiate Honors Council held its first annual meeting on the campus of the University of Kansas, October 22-24, 1966. The proceedings of that meeting are contained in this volume. This new association is a response to the expressed desire of many hundreds of educators throughout the country that, when the Inter-University Committee on the Superior Student (ICSS) was terminated in 1965, a national organization of individuals as well as institutions be formed. The new organization would carry on some of the functions of ICSS but would be free also to develop in ways appropriate to the present status …
