Mil's, DDDDioceoiiij's MAS n 7 r o llJ Y Niniayosirs U!J Vol. 56, No. 15 One-Week Exams: Student and faculty opinion will be surveyed on the length of exam week, according to a Student Coun cil vote Wednesday. Results will be submitted to the Faculty Senate at its meeting Nov. 8. Length of exam week will be brought before the Faculty Senate, Marvin Breslow, CCRC representa tive; announced at the meeting. At the meeting of the Council Com mittee on Calender and Exam Week with the Faculty Calender Committee, Breslow said, student members were permitted to file a minority report to be submitted with the 1956-57 calender, opposing it in its present form. Breslow passed out mimeographed copies of "the only factual informa tion ever gathered relating to exam periods" (the survey taken in 1950) and submitted a resolution which stated: "The Council, because the cnly factual information it has re ceived indicates that the student body desires a reading period be fore examinations and an examina tion period of more than one week, directs its representatives to op pose the present rule of the Faculty Senate concerning the final exam ination period and ask for either a reversal or reconsideration by the Faculty Senate." In debate on the resolution, Dick Johnson, Builders representative, said he understood the proposed 1956-57 calender allowed an extra week of vacation at the end of the school year, and that the remain ing extra time would be split into three days of addidional class days each semester. Johnson and Kazys Aliminias, Cosmopolitan Club, stated they were in favor of one week exams. Senior holdover member Gail Kats kee said the poll, in her opinion, measured sentiment of the 1950 stu dent body and not the present and opposed reference to the poll in the Council resolution. Bruce Brugmann, Arts and Sci ence, repeated his reasons for ask ing Faculty Senate reconsidera tion: 1) that two weeks are neces sary for adequately reviewing a subject; 2) "no reasons were given for the decision; 3) student opin ion was not consulted; and 4) faculty members had not been suf ficiently informed that the subject would be voted on. An amendment to delete refer ence to the 1950 poll was made by Brugmann. After discussion, the amendment carried by voice vote. The original resolution asking Senate reconsideration also carried by a voice vote. After a closed session to select Board of Student Publications stu dent members, (see story) Ben N e f f Business Administration, moved that a new survey be taken by the Calender And Exams Com mittee.

(See Editorial 1950 Exam Survey: Three Interviewed Three former members of the Final Examination Committee, which made a study of final ex aminaiton procedures in 1950, ex pressed a belief that the results obtained from their report gener ally reflect student feelings in Nebraska interviews Thursday. The primary reason for the Officer: Interviews Scheduled For WAC's First Lieutenant Dorcas Steams of the Women's Army Corps, sta tioned at Headquarters, Fifth Army, will visit the University on Oct. 25 to discuss with in terested students the opportunities the United States Army's direct commission program offers women college graduates. To meet its continuing need for WAC Officers, the Army is offering qualified women college graduates direct reserve commissions as lieutenants, according to Lieuten ant Stearns, and the opportunity to start their career in the Army as junior executives. WAC officers receive the same salary as men. A newly commis sioned second lieutenant is paid $270 per month, plus quarters, medical and dental care and a $10,000 life insurance policy. Women college graduates aged 21 to 28 who qualify are commis sioned as second lieutenants in the Army, and those 28 to 33, who have civilian career experience, as first lieutenants. College juniors may have a preview of life in the Women's Army Corps by applying for a probational Army appointment, and taking a six-week training course at the WAC center, Fort McClellan, Alabama, during the summer before their senior year. Lt. Stearns will be available for individual appointments in Ellen Smith Hall, room 201 on October 25.

Tickets are on sale now in the Friday, October 21, 1955 I i By Jack Brodie On Page 2) compilation of the 1950 final ex amination survey was to find out whether the existing exam pro pram was effective. The conclus ive reached by the committee, whose membership consisted of T. J. Thompson, F. C. Blood, Kenneth Forward, D. A. Worces ter, B. C. Hendricks, J. L. Sel lers, and W. F. Weiland, was that the longer exam period was the most desirable. The three members of the 1950 committee contacted are T. J. Thompson, J. L. Sellers and W. F. Weiland. Thompson, former dean of stu dent affairs, expressed his belief that the conclusions found by his committee in 1950 pertain equal ly to the examination situation to day. Sellers, chairman of the history department, said that the one week examination program was impractical from the student's standpoint. Sellers went on to say that two examinations in one day was plenty for any student. Weiland, professor of mechani cal engeering, felt that if a similar poll of the students and faculty were taken today the re sults would be much the same. In 1950, the student and faculty vote showed a preference for a nine day examination period.
