PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, March 18, 1949 Dental Students Study 'Oral' Subjects In Modern 54-Chair Clinic Center BY EMILY HEINE Prosthodontics . . roentgenology . . oral prophylaxis . . penodont ology. At the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry, over 100 men attend classes officially known by such formidable names For the unenlightened, who still think of Andrews Hall as a quiet buiHing inhabited solely by Eng lish professors, a tour of its third floor is in order. Here the center of activity is the 54 chair dental clinic, in which advanced students gain their practical experience. Their gain is the public's too, for it makes excellent treatment avail able. AROUND the big clinic are the class and surgery rooms, labora tories, dental library and execu tive offices. Lecture rooms are specially equipped with projectors for colored slides and movies. These are an important part of the visual aid program used in teaching dentistry. In cases lining the walls of many of the rooms are models of teeth and dentures. Varying in size and kind, all are perfect down to the. smallest detail. Many of them are real works of art. Catholic Activity Bursting Sea Of Present Building Facilities From Sunday morning mass in the Union to monthly parties at the Knights of Columbus hall, Catholic students on campus find a complete program of activities provided for them. Through the Newman club, so cial and intellectual features are carried on under the direction of Msgr. G. J. Schuster. Two masses are said on Sundays at the Union at 9 and 11 a. m. Special Lenten services are also held twice week ly, Wednesday and Friday at the Union. Because present facilities are cramped, principal interest of Newman club is now focused on the possibility of a campus chapel. A committee is working on plans ior the building. Heading the list of social activi ties is the monthly Sunday meet ing and party held at the Knights of Columbus hall.

The whole department is char - acterized by an orderly spirit. It is planned for a maximum of ef ficiency to eliminate extra steps and extra procedures. BECAUSE the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry is rated as one of the finest in the country, it is natural that more students than can possibly be ac commodated apply each year for admisison. Each beginning class is held to 32 students and no transfers are accepted. If a person drops out his place remains vacant. This means that unusual care must be taken to select those applicants who will be most likely to succeed. A fulltime faculty admissions committee handles the job. Its members study the records which the candidates made in their pre- dent subjects and arrange per sonal interviews. They remain in close contact with the students through their four years. A STUDENT advisory commit tee functions to help students who are not doing well in school. If satisfactory adjustments are not made after a meeting with the group, the committee may decide not to "recommend" him for the next semester. often follow the evening dinner which is prepared and served by Newman members. A number of "standing events" are held each year. At the begin ning of each semester the "Wel come Dance" is held at the Union as a "get acquainted" party. The annual spring picnic is the center of attention now, with plans being made to hold it "as soon as picnic weather arrives." . Tuesday evenings find Newman members meeting in the Unions on Ag and city campuses for dis cussion hours. Subjects pertain ing to religion as well as national topics are frequently discussed. Regional and national Newman Club conventions are popular with members and Nebraska is always well represented at them. The coming convention at the Univer sity of Iowa at Iowa City will find approximately 25 Nebraska representatives attending. 1 Faculty members also fill out, for each student, a character ana lysis chart. Students are rated on such things as attendance, indus try, aptitude, knowledge of work and personal habits The professor tells whether or not he could conscientiously rec ommend the student for a position and then makes suggestions as to which field of dentistry a student is best fitted. Compiled reports are used as recommendations when professional opportunities appear later on. They also play an important part in the choice of re cipients of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon honorary dental key, A COURSE in dental orienta tion is offered to help the student stil further in making adjustments during professional training. And to bring the teaching staff of the college closer together, there are frequent faculty meetings. The faculty believes that a large part of the success of teaching depends upon faculty-student co-operation How well the entire program of the college succeeds is indicated partly by the splendid record Uni versity of Nebraska graduates have made on national and state dental examinations. It is also clearly shown in the fine spirit of teamwork which is so evidently a characteristic of the college. Vets Must Await Papers Says VA Veterans planning to resume in terrupted GI Bill education and training should await receipt of a supplemental certificate of eligi bility before going back to classes, Veterans Administration advised. VA said that recently a large number of veterans have been ac cepted for courses by educational institutions before they have re ceived their supplemental certifi cates of eligibility from VA. Veterans are urged to wait until they are sure their certificates have been approved before ac tually entering training, unless they can afford to defray the costs of tuition and expenses them selves. Until the certificates are issued, VA assumes no financial obliga tion for the payment of tuition and other expenses. Collection is strictly a matter between the school and the veteran, VA said.
