University Extension Division
Offers Courses in 16 Towns
Sixteen miniature campuses
have been set up by the university
' extension division to carry educa-
' tion over the state to those who
cannot come to Lincoln to get it.
All but two of the courses
taught on the miniature campuses
are taught by university faculty
members who literally brave
hell and high water to take edu
cation off the campus. Six facul
ty members, for instance, were
'stranded in Grand Island recently
because of heavy snow. Many fac
ulty members have driven many
miles through blazing sunlight of
summer to be present at an off
campus class.
University Credits.
' The miniature campuses offer
university courses in which uni
versity credit may be taken or
not, as the student sees fit.
There are now enrolled in the
IS off-campus courses approxi
mately 300 students the most
students and the greatest num
ber of courses in the 20-year his
tory of the off-campus program,
according to Dr. K. O. Broady, ex
tension division director.
The courses ordinarily are of
fered under the co-sponsorship of
r- sotne outstate person or agency,
Dr. Broady explained. County su
perintendents usually promote the
courses, though at present Wayne
State Teachers college, McCook
and Fairbury Junior colleges and
the Nebraska City, Plattsmouth,
Columbus and Ravenna public
schools are also co-operating in
program.
Purposes.
' Primary purpose of the courses
is to give university instruction
to persons outstate who need or

made because it was felt that
voting is very important to keep
up the standards and quality of
leadership which determine the
success of the YW's programs.
Council'
The revised constitution also
states that the membership chair
man shall organize a council com
. posed of a representative from
each organized house and shall
select one member for each ten
YWCA members who are unor
ganized or unaffiliated. These
representatives will be known as
House YWCA chairmen. They
will notify all members of events,
convey any suggestions to the
cabinets and officers, and other
duties.
Provisions also have been made
for the establishing of a personnel
committee which is to be com
posed of three advisory board
members with a student as chair
man. The committee is to study
and evaluate personnel policies;
evaluate the work of employed
and volunteer individuals con
nected with the YW; and deter
mine the qualifications necessary
for the employed staff.
These changes went into effect
immediately upon being ratified
by the members who were nt the
aU-mertbership meeting: ' - " "
1946
want further university credit,"
Dr. Broady said. "A great many
of our off-campus students are
school teachers who want to re
new emergency certificates or
qualify for permanent teaching
certificates. About one-fifth of all
teachers in the state hold only
emergency permits at the present
time.
"A number of veterans also are
taking the off-campus courses.
Most of them are taking the
courses for university credit,
though some are enrolled on a
non-credit basis."
The program has received its
greatest impetus in the past five
years, due to war-induced need
for professional education, Dr.
Broady said. New courses, he ex
plained, can be started at any
time sufficient demand appears,
provided instructors are available.

The Executive Council of the

has commissioned a special "Edu
cational Faciliies Committee'
which has as its duties the "form
ulation and administraion of nec
essary political or non-political
measures in support of a liberal
University appropriation by the
Nebraska state legislature."
This special group was formed
immediately following the recent
resolution adopted by the mem
bership which stated that the stu
dent-veterans attending the uni
versity are entitled to the best ed
ucational training, and that it is
imperative that the state legis
lature appropriate a sufficient sum
of money now, to make it possible
for the university to meet the de
mands of its enrollment.

Don J. Baker, vice president of
the Univets, has been appointed

Orchestra, Mona Paulee Join
For 'Pops Concert at Stuart
M.
The Lincoln Symphony Orches
tra at the Stuart theater last night
chose to present its patrons with a
musical evening of light weight
calibre usually heard in park band
shells under summer stars. In
the solo spotlight was Miss Mona
Paulee, appealing young mezzo so
prano of the Metropolitan, who
packed a theatrical punch into
every selection from Carmen's
sneering Habanera to the Bach
Gounod "Ave Maria!"
The outstanding impression car
ried away from the orchestra con
cert was not so much the overall
effectiveness of the group, but the
individual excellence of numerous
solo passages by aumost every one
oof the orchestra's voices. This
was especially brought out in
Weinberger's "Variations and Fu
gue on an Old English Tune" and
Rimsky-Korsakov's all-time fa
vorite "Capriccio Espagnole."
Despite the highly-detailed pro
gram material intended, the con
trasting effects of the Weinberger
number ran from a lyric impres
sionism to Vienese schmaltz and
martial tempo in glorified "Yankee
Doodle" style. The "Cappriccio"
was easily the best-performed and
most satisfying offering. Stravin
sky's recent "Four Norwegian
Moods," heard here for the fiTst
time, suffered in comparison with
the "Capriccio" in achieving the
strong nationalistic effect desired.
Mature Control
As for Miss Paulee's share of the
program, she was delightful to
look at, and more than pleasant
to hear. A pronounced restraint
and mature control exerted in her
opening aria, "Una voce poco fa"
from Rossini's "Barber of Seville."
Encoring with the Bizet "Haba
nera," she was in her element as
Carmen, a role that took her from
coast to coast last season in Co
lumbia Concert's production. In
tense feeling of expression charac

terized her songs and encores with
Grieg's "I Love Thee" and Bizet's
"Ouvre Ton Coeur" coming thru
to best advantage. Rachmaninoff
and Richard Strauss numbers were
well handled, too.
Interview.
Mona Paulee, confessed yester
day noon in an interview, "I
can't remember the time that I
didn't plan the Metropolitan for
my goal!" But reaching the Met
was no easier for Mona Paulee
than for most struggling young
singers. Like many, she was
tempted by the money and
glamour of her night club suc
cesses to give up her aspiration
for top opera billing.
To her husband, Dean Holt (un
til this October, Captain Holt of
the army air corps) Miss Paulee
graciously gave credit for her
final "arrival." At his insistance
she gave up all her singing en
gagements. (They met in an ex
clusive supper club where he was
orchestra leader) to study for
three and a half years in Los
Angeles. Then preliminary and
final auditions led her to a co
veted Metropolitan contract.
Talented Husband.
Holt travels with Miss Paulee
in the unique quadriple capacity
of pilot, manager, accompanist
and husband. Flying in an AT-6 to
all concert engagements, Miss
Paulee smiled, "and we have a
tremendous amount of fun, even
if I have flown 12 to 15 thousand
miles with a suitcase on my lap!"
Miss Paulee had only the
warmest praise for Conductor Leo
Kopp whose wide opera conduct
ing experience with the Chicago
Civic Opera led Miss Paulee to
enthuse laughingly: "He knows
the repertory better than I do!"
And she continued, "I have never
seen a conductor so patient and
kind to his men. That man has
patience galore!"
