Latest Woods Grant Will Finance
Fnnlic
dum Improvement
The experimental curricu
lum development of English
in Nebraska schools will be
supported for the third con
secutive year by a $24,500
grant from the Woods Chari
table Fund, Inc.
According to Frank Rice,
co-director for the Nebraska
Curriculum Development Cen
ter at the University, the
grant will finance a 1963 sum
mer institute for the retrain
ing of Nebraska teachers in a
fiew approach to English.
"Such locally-supported in
stitutes in English are almost
unique in the U.S. The en
couragement the Woods'
grants have given Nebraska
in its efforts to strengthen
English education on a state
wide basis has placed Ne
braska among the foremost
states in English curriculum
improvement," Rice said.
The program has attained
national recognition through
the National Council of Teach
ers of English and the Mod
ern Language Association of
America. Both groups have
carried reports of Nebraska's
curriculum work in their pub
lications. Received Inquiries
As a result, Rice said, Ne
braska has received inquiries
from more than 200 promin
ent educators, state depart
ments of education, and city
school systems from New
York to California.
The 1963 summer institute
will attempt to improve the
units now being taught and
will create additional materi
al found to be necessary aft
er a year of experimentation.
For the past year the Ne
braska Curriculum Center has
been working with English
units for the first, fourth,
seventh and tenth grades. Pi
lot classrooms were set up in
Bancroft and University High
School and Lincoln, Omaha,
York and Westside public
schools.
Grants of $37,000 in 1961
and 1962 made it possible to
prepare a unified, statewide
curriculum in English and to
hold an institute for 45 Eng
lish teachers who planned and
wrote more than 80 detailed
teaching units for all the
grades leading to college.
Another benefit of the
grants make it possible
for the University to
qualify for a five-year grant
of $250,000 from the U.S. Of
fice of Education for research
in the improvement of in
struction in composition
through the Nebraska Center.
The eight-week 1963 sum
mer institute will provide a
$700 stipend for each of 35
English teachers. Ten of these
will be members of the 1962
institute and will return to
aid in revising the units.
The other 25 also will as
sist and become more fa
miliar with the overall
plan, so that they can
become resource people
for and the leaders of in
service training of other
teachers in their areas, Rice
explained. The institute will
be held at the University
from June 10 to Aug. 2.

Short AAIYA Agenda
By BOB RAY
Ag News Editor
"How much do you think you're going to learn in your
eight weeks at the University? Do you think you're getting
more out of this post-high school education than if you were
enrolled in a University?
These questions, asked of students in the Midwest In
stitute for Young Adults (MTYA), at the Nebraska Cen
ter, produced a variety of answers as to the effective
ness of the program.
Several of the students have studied under both the
University and the snorter, more concentrated MTYA pro

Jerry Dolcater, of Kimball, has had two years at
Colorado State University at Fort Collins. He was in the
second MIYA group to attend the Center; he liked it so
much he returned for his second winter term here.
Dolcater feels the MIYA program needs improvement
"The way I heard it last winter," he says, "the classes were
to be repealed every two years. Here I am a year later
and I'm offered a lot of the same courses."
Last year, Dolcater save, his favorite course was
speech. "This year I'm getting the most out of welding
and livestock, but farm bookkeeping could be real Bseful."
The thing that disturbs Dolcater most is MTYA's ten- of Ul5da j.",. and
dency toward necessary prerequuitas and regulations ; Madsen ylek won 2nd place

Calls On
Executives
Industrialists Can Aid
Students In Business
A University professor. Dr.
Gay Gerkin, is asking 100 in
dustrialists in Nebraska to
lend a hand in helping stu
dents to understand the hard
practicalities of business.
Dr. Gerkin has written let-
tjrc tio XoKt-o eta vvii
-
Publicity and Sales: Margie i fives asking them for help in
showing the students how
they can "bridge the wide gap
between the world of business
and the world of ideas."
"The students hear about it
in the class on industrial psy
chology," he said, "but we're
asking Nebraska businessmen
to write out their thoughts on
the subject. They can be of
real help when they describe
problems in their own organi
zation." The course is built around
solving problems that relate
to human behavior in business
and industrial settings, Ger
kin said. '
The state industrialists are
being asked to discuss worker
selections, aptitudes, motiva
tion, job analysis, safety, job
satisfaction, morale, leader
ship, productivity and other
topics in anonymous letters to
the professor and his class.
