Diplomas in two
System Allows
In Specialized
A degree in two years! That's
what the new two year curricula
plan which is being instituted this
fall can mean to the student who
wants to do an oversize share of
studying in short time. The de
gree, of course, isn't th same as
the regular A.B. which a four
year college student gets upon
graduation. Graduates in the two
year system are called "asso
ciates" and get a certificate to
that effect.
The two year plan is being con
solidated into the regular cur
ricula of the university as an al
ternative course of study. It en
ables students to achieve com
mendable skill in a chosen field
of concentration and also to de
velop an appreciation of the
broader outlook of general educa
tion. Not Induced by War.
Dean Nels A. Bengston of the
Junior Division (which sponsors
the two year plan) says that it
has not been induced by the war.

The two year curricula is open
to all students who can pass the

can be made up as part of the
regular program, in most cases.
Diplomas awarded upon the
satisfactory completion of any of
the two year curricula read: AS

Study Only.
Two years of concentrated class
and laboratory work are required
in these short courses. Students
undertaking them should not ex

ployment if they wish to complete
the course in the minimum time.
Curricula within distinct fields
of the different colleges are spon

Each curriculum has been
planned to serve only the students
who have definite needs and ob

characteristic of the two year
curricula.
All students will be required to
attend the orientation lectures of

Rusliee Parties
Are All Informal
A war-time rush week, out
standing because of its simplicity,
will be carried out by sororities
on the University of Nebraska
campus this fall.
All parties wil be informal and
will be held on the campus.
Dropped from the usual list of
affairs, are luncheons and dinners
and in their place will be a brunch,
sandwich spread and possibly a
preference luncheon.
Tentative plans for the rushing
period as given out by Panhellenic
officials include four days of
rushing beginning Sunday, Sept.
13, and ending the following Wed
nesday when upperclass rushees
may move into the house of the
sorority pledged.
One Thing at a Time.
By beginning rush week, Sept.
13, instead of later, rushees will
not have to go thru entrance ex
aminations and registration until
all rushing affairs have been com
pleted. The original plan scheduled
rush week on the same dates as
registration.
Lists have been submitted to
the Panhellenic office by each of
the 14 national sororities repre
sented on the University of Ne
braska campus including the
names of those women whom they
believe to be interested in joining
a sorority. Any woman interested
in joining a sorority who knows
of no one having put her name
on such a list is requested by the
Panhellenic office to fill in the
blarfc printed at the bottom of
this page and send it to the Pan
hellenic Office, Ellen Smith hall,
University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
All Must Register.
All rushees are expected to reg
ister with the Panhel office in El
len Smith hall this summer. If
the rushee resides outside of Lin
coln she will live at Raymond Hall
during the rush periods. This res
ervation must be made prior to
her coming to Lincoln and can be

Bone Diggers i
Now Helping ,
Harvest Wheat
Members of the museum'
"bone-digging" crew in western
Nebraska are now spending part
of their time helping with the
wheat harvest, it was learned here
this week.
Working near Oshkosh and
Broadwater, some of the 19 men
on the field trip have stopped
searching for fossils long enough
to tike up pitchforks and scoop
shovels to help farmers meet their
harvest hand shortage problem.
While working in the wheat
fields the bone-diggers live with
the farmers a temporary change,
from camping out as they did
while digging for fossils.
The field group, which include
high school and university stu
dents and one instructor from,
teachers college, has been out all
summer looking for relics for the
Nebraska museum. Only one
group was on this year, instead of
the five or six sent out in previous
summers.
Diggings in the Oshko.sh-Broad-water
area, have, according to Dr.
C. Bortranud Schultz, museum di
rector, yielded many unusal fos
sils of the ice age.
