Director Jim cww Uncotn
Pittenger con- Pitteager
cerning the possibility of adding
another out-of-state alumni group
to add to the 40 existing clubs.
Tbe Association acting through
its publication The Nebraska
Alumnus and its alumni clubs
serves as a contact with the Uni
versity and with higher education
in ge-neral for the former students
and friends of the University. Pit
tenger said.
By keeping In contact with
higher education in general, Pit
tenger said, the alumni member
is able to understand the progress
of education and culture, la this
manner, the University and the
Alumni Association are able to
serve all of Civilization.
Chancellor Clifford Rardia told
Alumni at tbe recent Alumni
Roundup that the 48,090 former
University students living in tbe
state should be marshaled ixito a
vital force for higher education.
He also mentioned that a Uni
versity student ory pays for cine
fifth of the cost of his education
fcv tuition fees.
Commenting on this Pittenger
said, "If, upon graduation we
shoulder any obligation for the ed
ucation we received it is the re
sponsibility to insure that these
who follow have opportunities that
are ecfjsl or better than those we
have received. One of the best
ways to discharge this obligation
is by taking an active part in the
program of the Alumni Associa
tion." Pittenger outlined a few of the
services of the Association. They
include publication of the Alum
nus and bulletins, maintenance of
files with up to date information
on alumni, formation of alumni
groups a!! over the nation, public
relations work. Homecoming
events and other special alumni
get togeibers such as the Spring
Roundi.'p.
Parents "carry the torch of pub
lic education."
This declaration was made Mon
day afternoon by Dr. Millard Bell,
superintendent of schools at Wil
mette, Ul., at the ""Clinic on Home
School Relations."
"I think," Dr. Bell continued,
"there is a general, almost ground
swell of, acceptance of the phil
osophy that we have a joint enter
prise between parents and edu
cators" in education of children.
Just as a "better supervisor
tercber relation" results when it
i realized that the "common ia
fewest is doing something for the
with parents.
Parent-teacher cooperation, he
continued, does much to solve the
problem that "teachers have been
afraid of parents, and parents
have been fearful of teachers.'
This cooperation. Bell said, helps
to alleviate the fact that "children
sense that situation" of parent
teacher hostility.
Citing the church as a social in
stitution where "we've tried to
work independently" with conflict
ing schedules resulting, Bell said
conflicts resolve themselves
"when we get back to our common
objective of what was good for the
child."
"We neglected parents," he said.
We must get "out rf a role of
leaders and dictators," Bell added,
and "get into a position of peer
ship with parents."
He called upon professional edu
cators to share ''all we know abev.t
learning, child development and
growth as utilized in planning ex
periences and programs."
Seeing a "confusion in the pub
lic mind over who's who," Bell
said that the public is "either for
public schools or net. AH want
the best for their children."
