Help the Junior Division . .
"The best interests and welfare of each individual student seeking
to enter the University of Nebraska is our first consideration. This
institution accepts its responsibility not in the light of the masses of
students but rather in the light of the individual. It is for this reason
that the university proposed a reorganization in its admissions policy
and its organization of the first year of the program of studies for
entering students. This new division is known as the Junior Division."
This is the first statement in the university's bulk tin on the
Junior Division, started last fall to advise new students more effi
ciently and accurately and to put them on the right. iead in profes
sional life.
Great strides have been made this year in carrying out the pur
pose of the division. Valuable advice has been given new students
ltgarding correct courses to take, according to their abilities. Study
schedules and living conditions have been analyzed ami improved.
Application forms filled out by new students have been revised so
that only the most essential information is required.
m
Here is a summary of how the system operates:
For application two forms are prepared, one by the student him
self and one by the principal and teachers of the high school from
which he is graduated. These are sent to the office of the registrar
where they are evaluated for qualification to enter any one of the
colleges of the university or the Junior Division only. They are then
submitted to the Bureau of Instructional Research for large scale
analysis.
The Junior Division then studies the applications and assigns the
student to a member of the Board of Counsellors, there being a coun
sellor from each college. The counsellor in turn assigns an adviser to
ach student. The advisers go over the reports, noting deficiencies
j.nd making memoranda on points in the student's program which
reed bringing out. When the student arrives he is tested in English,
mathematics, reading skills and study habits, and aptitudes. He has
t.n individual conference with his adviser and finishes his registra
tion, time for which has been reduced to one and one-half hours.
Three weeks, after classes begin the student again sees his adviser
st which time a check of living conditions is made. The student re
poits whether or not he understands class assignments, knows his
instructors' names, and has his text books. If he lacks funds to buy
Irooks, short term loans are arranged. Any necessary collections in
cla.s schedules are also made at this time.
From this we can see that the Junior Division system is thoro.

Ships and planes
Saturday, the first anniversary of Germany's Invasion of The
Netherlands and Belgium, brought Intense fighting and bombing in
the air war. German airmen raided the southeast coast towns in
England and considerable fighting occurred over Dover.
The British smashed back with heavy raids on Monnheim, Lud
wigshnfen and Berlin. The English flyers reported large scale fires in
the chemical and manufacturing works at Mannheim and Ludwigs-liafc-n.
Another scries of raids was carried out by Dutch airmen
Hying American built bombers. They struck at poits and air-fields
in German occupied Norway.
Several observers attiibuted the marked Increase in British
bombing activities to the added supplies, planes and munitions now
arriving from the United States. Last month American production
of military planes was over 1,400, about equally divided between
tii.iner and combat craft. Export of planes to the British in March
was over 400, and the April figures are considerably higher. Also
the number of pilots, graduates from the training courses in Canada
who are prepared to operate combat planes in actual battle, has been
lapidly increasing. Many have reached England. Many others are
te.nstantly arriving. Their presence is a great aid to the air effort
of the English.
Meanwhile the Eritish admiralty released figures showing losses
of more than six million tons of British, allied, and neutral shipping
since the nazi blitzkrieg in the west began one year ago. Losses in
April were slightly under 500,000 tons. About the same losses were
suffered in June, 1940, and March, 1941. Losses for most of the other
months are much less. Total number of ships sent to the bottom is
now 1,098. x
It was also reported that President Roosevelt will have some
oxccedingly important things to say about war aid n-.'i We.Vsd;iy
rifcht when he addresses the heads of the Latin American mission now
Jn the United States. He is expected to clarify many questions as to
what the U. S. is now willing to do to help Britain.-
Its inquiries into the student's background, abilities, and interests give
a basis for sound advice and guidance to that student.
The Junior Division has the wholehearted support of faculty
members in its thoro-going program, but it also needs the support
of every student in the university. In order to help the division carry
out its main purpose of furthering "the best interests and welfare of
each individual student seeking to enter the University of Nebraska,"
all present students must cooperate.
There is a tendency among university students to give advice to
new students regarding what courses to take and how many hours
to carry. As a result of this situation students shown by tests and
records to be competent are found to be carrying too few Hours and
are not doing their best work. On the other hand, there are students
carrying courses too heavy for their abilities or for the outside em
ployment they have. These students also fail to do good work. Often,
too, students are misguided into courses or which they are entirely
unfitted. Qualified guidance in the Junior Division avoiels these
conditions.
We appeal, therefore, to you students to realize that the academic
advising of new students in the university is being done as conscien
tiously and carefully as possible by the Junior Division. Help the
division to further the best interests and welfare of each new student
in the university by refraining from offering unqualified advice.
