PAGE 2 DAILY NEBRASKAN FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1951- New Student Week At last the University has awakened to the fact that freshman students need more than the usual four lectures to orient them to the University. The lectures which take place in Love. Library auditorium have been very insuffi cient. Don't get me wrong! l m not advocating more lec tures. I think they are a bore, and of little value to anyone, not because the lectures themselves are lacking in content but because a small percentage of the listeners are really interested enough to absorb what is being saia. Lectures don't take the students through the buildings. They point them out on a map which makes little sense to any freshman who has spent only a few days on campus. How much more valuable an actual tour would be. Or even be more sly and schedule nieetings in these buildings so the students find out for themselves where the buildings are situated. A great deal is being done this year, under the able direction of Dr. Arthur A. Hitchcock, to remedy these past wrongs. Advisers will have closer contact with advisees if the program works out as planned. This is certainly a badly needed feature, as many students, who are now going to summer school because of an oversight by an adviser, will tell you. Here's hoping that enough time will be allotted to each student so that an eight semester outline can be "made early in his college career. Another admirable feature connected with the New Student Week i& that every student will have the opportu nity to visit Ag. campus. Although it is apart from the city campus it is still a part of the University, and each student should be familiar with it. The number of upper-clasnen in this institution who have never been on Ag. campus enough to know their ways around is appalling. Last, but not least, this well-planned New Student Week will be a number one fighter of homesickness which always appears each year. If a student takes advantage of all of the activities which are available to him, Jie won't have time to be homesick. Hats off to the originators and planners of this poten tially successful orientation program.

The registrar's office does hot have an official caluculation of the number of students who will leave campus at the end of the short term, but the drop is ex pected to be substantial. Although no system of final exams is set up for the summer session, finals will be given dur ing the regular classroom periods. Grades and credits for summer school courses will be mailed to students in the fall. The University's summer ses sion program is under the direc tion of a summer session commit tee headed by Dr. Frank Soren son, of Teachers college. The committee is composed of heads of the various departments in which Summer Session courses are offered. In addition to set ting up the summer curriculum, this committee is responsible for a variety, of clinics. The eight-weeks session will end Friday, July 27. Finals will be given in the class-room period during the last week of the ses sion. There will be no Saturday classes since the last day was made up after the 4th of July.
