i 1 Thursday. October 19. 1939 Tlie DAILY NEBRASKAN Vocational Training in Liberal Arts The University Junior Divi sion plan recommended last week by the Senate committee had two important aspects: First, was the idea that the plan would institute here a the colleges of liberal arts. Necessity is the reason for the beginning existance of such vocational guidance. The fact that the education or training, as some would completely new system of ad- prefer to say needed for a large number of vocations lies mainly in the various fields of the established lib. eral arts program is the reas son for its placement there. Among the vocations of which this would be true here, one could mention off hand teaching, journalism, , public administration, social service, personnel service, chemistry, geology and a host of others. o That conception will place the liberal arts colleges m a vising, counseling, and guiding freshmen students to make their college education of greater value. Second, was idea of including vocational courses of one and two-year curricula in our system of higher education. Altho the plan of organiza tion for the Vniversity Junior division seems somewhat com plicated on paper, once the ma chinery is set up, the new sys tem of advising students of dif ferent classified groups would probably function rclativelv smoothly.

The DAILY NKRRASKAX is N. U.'s only newspaper and the only agency founded on the campus for dissemination of printed news regarding the affairs of the University of Ne braska and it.s students. And as Such it has a vital obligation to report campus events as impar tially and quickly as possible. No one is more aware of the difficulty of reporters of this Staff. No one is more concerned with the necessity for unbiased presentation of the events and A Declaration of Policy more instilled than our edi. tors with the spirit of main taining high standards among student and faculty readers. And the spirit of serving the University community with news while it still is news has always prevailed in our of fices.

About 20 paintings at a time will be shown. "In the east end of the main corridor," Van Sant said yester day, "each month will hang the 'picture of the month' selected by Mr. Kirsch from the paintings in the museum. On the other end of the hall will be one of three things, either the best photograph by a indent filed in the art de partment, an exemplary picture of the current exhibit in the museum, or the best student painting avail able at the time." "Both of those select exhibits will be spotlighted," Van Sant declared. Beginning soon, students will have an opportunity to watch art department students paint, under the supervision of Mr. Kirsch and Miss Kady Faulkner, also an art department faculty member, a large, approximately 26 feet by eight feet, painting of the I'nion lounge. The work, according to Van Sant, should take several weeks to complete, and when fin ished will be hung in the game room on the second floor.
