Students Help
Survey Lincoln
Parking Habits
Lincoln's parking problem has
prompted the State Highway de
partment to take a survey of
parking habits of Lincoln resi
dents, and a number of Univer
sity students have been helping
conduct the survey.
The past week, the survey has
reached the campus area on R
street, and students have been
asked about their driving habits,
destinations, and purpose in driv
ing. Student interviewers have been
asking Lincoln shoppers and busi
ness people in various sections of
the downtown district such ques
tions as "Where did this trip
start?"; "Where are you going?";
and "Why did you come down

Teacher Rating Again . . .
Advocates of the use of teacher rating scales have been
fighting an uphill battle at the University for the past six

months in trying to get the idea in at least partial use in
NU classrooms. The Daily Nebraskan and the Student
Council last semester worked toward the establishment of a
teacher rating plan on campus, but with only sporadic suc
cess. Since it is generally assumed that the smaller the class
the more reliable the rating is likely to be, the small sum
mer classes would be ideal for testing the plan: Instructors
too are less rushed during the summer months, and they
would be more likely to have a chance to analyze the ques
tionnaires themselves.
Last semester The Daily Nebraskan had a number of
copies of the Purdue scale printed, and instructors who
wish to try the rating in summer school will be welcome to
copies of the scale as long as they last. The Purdue scale
is in wide use throughout the country, and is explained else
where in today's paper.
By the Way
Proof that the groups planning the summer session
activities have aimed at the new and different will be given
Wednesday when the YM and YW, in cooperation with the
Union, sponsor the first in a series of informal discussions
on marriage problems. Summer school students will have
an opportunity to hear experts in the field of marriage re
lations discuss common problems. Much of the material
which will be presented is similar to that offered in the
course in marriage relations held during the regular school
year.
This is your Daily Nebraskan. As always, our aim is
to give the students the kind of news and feature stories
they want to read. If student groups have news they think
is of interest to the campus in general, a quick dial of the
phone to University extension 4226 will make sure the
news gets in the paper. Gripes are also welcome, and the
Rag "Letterip" column is ready and waiting for letters to
the editor, or open letters to the campus in general The
only requirement for letters which are published is that they
must be signed with the real name of the author though
pseudonymns may appear in print.
O 9
An opportunity to see one of the most unusual films
shown on campus in som time is being re-offered by the
YMCA through the screening of "Stone Flower." The
film was shown during the regular session, and was so well
received it is. playing a repeat performance. The film,
which is Russian with English sub-titles, is processed in
a secret form of color recently developed by the Russians.
The folk-story will offer an escape from the hot weather
and studying on June 20 at 3 and 8 p. m. in Love Library
auditorium.

It's an old story which comes from Rag editors several
times each semester, but it's still important Through the
generosity of a Lincoln corporation, the grounds around
the Library and Sosh were landscaped last year and for
the first time in several years the so-called "new" campus
has grass and trees to give a more collegiate look. Students
who persist in cutting corners, however, have worn several
Bpbts in the new sod, and unless the practice stops, the
University may find itself looking for another landscaping
donation to repair the damage. Summer is the time to
Blow down anyway, so why not slow down enough to take
the walks instead of the shortcuts across the lawns.
Teachers and educators on campus for the summer
session, as well as undergraduates in Teachers college
should take note of the Textbook Exhibit which opened
yesterday in Room 108 Burnett. The exhibit, which will
continue throughout the week, gives a first hand view of
the materials available for up-to-the-minute teaching aids.
Not only texts will be shown, but supplementary material
such as maps, charts and globes will be on display. The
exhibit of audio-visual aids being shown in conjunction
with the anual textbook showing also offers a chance to
see the latest developments in the newest field of education.
Buckncll to Ask 'Guarantee Fee9
In order that Bucknell Univer
sity may know exactly how many
students will be returning in the
fall, the administration has re
quested a non-refundable guaran
tee deposit of $50 of both men and
women students.
Previously only women 'dormi
tory residents were asked to sign
a contract reserving a place for
the next academic year. Accord
ing to Registrar George Faint, the
decision to require a guarantee
deposit from both men and
women, regardless of whether or
not they plan to live in the col
lege dormitories, is not common
practice in many colleges.
town on this trip?"
Cooperation
Students who have been doing
the interviewing have found the
auto owners more than happy to
cooperate, and according to one
interviewer, "They all seem to
have a solution to vthe parking
problem. One man suggested that
every other north and south street
be made a one way street so
16th would be for north bound
traffic only, 17th for south bound
traffic only, etc." "
The survey is being made be
cause, according to the highway
department in Lincoln, as in most
metropolitan areas, the problem
of finding a parking place has
become increasingly difficult.
Purpose
"In order that available facili
ties in the central business dis
trict be used to their maximum
capacity, parking practices and
regulations must be such that
traffic can flow smoothly on the
highways and arterial streets
through the congested area."
Problems which it is hoped the
parking survey will help solve in
clude those created by cruising
while looking for a parking place,
illegal parking, overtime parking,
crowded parking lots, and diag
onal parking.

Syracuse U. Tries
Teaching Theory
A new teaching theory, which
advocates student self-sufficiency,
is in the experimentation stage at
the College of Applied Science at
Syracuse University.
Under the new non-directive
technique, instructors outline the
material students most covered
during the semester. The students
then apportion the material over
the term. Every week two stu
dents, selected by the class, make
up a quiz over material they think
is important; the teets are then
graded by the students and grades
are given by students at the end
of the term.
Preliminary tests given at the
first of the semester are given
again at the end of the term to
measure the progress of the ex
perimental group against the
progress of a normally conducted
class.

Kenyon Abolishes,
English Tests
Speech requirement and the
English attainment tests have re
cently been abolished by the Ken
yon College faculty. Previously all
had to pass the tests before grad
uation or take courses in these
subjects which would enable them
to pass the tests.
Beginning with the class of '53,
the course becomes an elective to
be taken as one of four courses.
As a result of this action, speech
and drama majors and those stu
dents who wish to elect courses
in speech, theater, and drama will
have a wider variety of courses
to choose from.
