Three State Newspapers to Get
Visits from 33 J-School Students
Thirty-three school of journalism stu
dents will converge on three daily Nebras
ka newspapers next Tuesday.
The staffs of the papers will get a holi
day then as the University students will
edit, report and take pictures for the news
papers on the fourth semi-annual field
trip.
Monday Briefing
Three staffs of 11 students each will re
port for briefing Monday at the York Daily
News-Times, the Fairbury Daily News and
the Nebraska City News-Press. Next day
the students will take over the papers.
Each semester students from the school's
news editing, advanced reporting and
photo-journalism classes make the field
trips, Dr. William Hall, director of the
the school of journalism, said.
Students have been training for the
field trips since the semester began, Dr.
Hall said. The three classes meet concur
rently for five hours each Tuesday and
operate exactly as editorial staffs on a
newspaper, he continued.
Program Enlarged
"The program has been increased from
one newspaper in 1957, when the first trip
was made, to three newspapers this year,"
Dr. Hall added. "Within five years we
brary.
More than $8,000 of the
funds raised for the new cen
ter came from a student
drive spearheaded by Build-
; ers.
Centers such as the one to
be constructed on the Ag
Campus are already in exist
ence at Michigan State Uni
versity and the University of
Georgia.
Early 1961 Use
The University's center, to
be located at 33rd and Hold
rege, will be completed for
use early in 1961.
The main building of the
Center will be a 9-story struc
ture, adjoined by a youth
wing. The youth wing is a
distinctive feature of the Ne
braska center, which will set
it apart from the other two
existing centers.
This wing will be used In a
youth program aimed to
serve young people who are
still enrolled in some pro
gram of formal education. It
will operate in the summer
months and will deal mostly
with high school students.
A second phase of the pro
gram will be concerned with
young people who have eith
er completed or interrupted
their formal education.
Facilities in the youth wing
will include a cafeteria, a
small auditorium and dormi
tory areas.
Refresher Courses Considered
The main structure will be
used for adult programs. One
with strengthening and ex
panding professional and
post-graduate institutes and
refresher courses.
The second will be con
cerned with a long list of
courses, meetings, con
ferences In such fields as ag
riculture, business, industry,
cultural topics and vocational
topics.
Federal Student Loan Plan
Draws $84,600 NU Request
Money Availability
Hoped for March 1
$14,000 Earmarked 2nd Semester;
Provisions Favor Future Teachers
A formal application for
$84,600 in student loan funds
has been filed by the Uni
versity with the U.S. Com
missioner of Education, un
der the provision of the Na
tional Defense Education Act
of 1958.
W. C. Harper, director of
student loans, said the Uni
versity is seeking $14,400 for
the second semester, $5,400
for the summer session, and
$64,800 for the 1959-60 school
year.
March Start Hoped
If the application is ap
proved, Harper said, it is
hoped that federal loans will
be available about March 1
for second semester.
To be eligible to receive
the money, the University
must contribute to the loan
fund one-ninth of the amount
contributed by the govern
ment, he said. Based on the
amount sought, the Univers
ity will contribute $9,400.
As its contributory share,
the University will use priv
ate donations or bequests
which are earmarked for
loans to University students,
Harper said.
Immediately upon receipt
of notice from the Office of
Education that the funds
have been allotted, a public
announcement will be made
and application forms will be
made available to students,
the loan director stated.
'Real Need' Demanded
Under provisions of the
act, student borrowers must
be: "in real need of the
amount of the loan reqvsted
to pursue a course of study
in the University; enrolled
as full-time students in good

able 'of maintaining good
standing in such course.
Snecial consideration will
be dven "to students with a
superior academic back
ground who express a flesire
to teach in elementary or
secondary schools; and to
students whose academic
background indicates a su
perior capacity or prepara

said.
