EDITOR'S NOTE: Thi. Is the fourth te mil, at
elrht background artlclei ratllnlnc th permanent itate
wlde Educational Television Network new helm proposed
for Nebraska.
The alarm was sounded by the State -Department
of Education two months ago
and the buildup for the invasion has be
gun. In a detailed inspection of the cur
rent going-to-college rate of Nebraska
high school graduates, an all-time high
of nearly 45 per cent was pinpointed.
The report contained another eye
opening statistic. Within the next few
years, the buildup of state high school
graduating classes promises an expansion
of anywhere from 16,000 to 23,000 students.-
Friendly or not, this massive attack
ing force of high school graduates poses
an all-out challenge to higher education
in Nebraska. And while scrambling for
a solution, the state's 21 colleges and
universities also have other problems to
ponder: teacher shortage, limited class
rooms, a shortage of laboratory space.
The search for answers has led col
lege administrators to an inspection of .
their own ... an on-screen inspection
of Educational Television (ETV.) It did
not take much looking to discover that
television screens are already proving a
valuable higher education tool in many
areas.
Around the Big Ten schools, for in
stance, ETV is now a well-established
campus fixture. At Ohio State, recorded
tele-lectures in basic Zoology arei shown
nine times a day, with a total of 5,000
students in the combined audience.
One of every four students at the
University of Minnesota now receives
ETV as part of the regular instruction
program.
The potential of ETV comes into fo
cus as Nebraska colleges face three
growing problems: many students, few
teachers, and small classrooms. Help in
solving all of these problems can come
from the combined use of one studio, an
auditorium-type classroom, and a battery
of large television screens.
For laboratory work, a close-up tele
vision picture becomes an instant micro
scope for scores of students to share.
This new concept in college instruc
tion has still another far-reaching impli
cation. Already in use in Texas and Ore
gon, it involves a campus-to-campus net
work sharing top instructional talent. For
the first time gifted instructors can
share their influence with a vast number
of students.
- Among Nebraska's widely-scattered
colleges and universities, no such shar
ing exists. At least not yet. But the per
manent statewide Educational Television
Network now before the legislature of
fers just such a program.
The Nebraska Council for Education
al Television, Inc., now serving 34 of the
state's school systems . with elementary
and secondary ETV instruction, is ready.
Now in the planning stage: a twor
division ETV operation, one for elemen
tary and secondary schools, the other for
higher education. Under the plan, each
college and university in Nebraska would
be linked in a voluntary program of
ETV instruction between the schools.
"In each of our colleges,: we have
teaching talent that would benefit stu
dents throughout the state," said Free
man Decker, State Normal Board Coord
inator. His statement sums up a vital
interest in ETV ' from the four state
teachers colleges he represents.
Dr. Adam Breckenridge, University
Vice-Chancellor and current President of
the Nebraska Association of Colleges , and
Universities, is equally enthusiastic. "A
statewide ETV network" he notes, "could
provide education in Nebraska with an
entirely new concept in cooperative learn
ing among both public and private col
leges and universities. Each has re
sources which can be shared only through
ETV."
Added support of ETV's value to col
leges came in the 1961 "Glenny Report,"
prepared for the Nebraska Legislative
Council's Committee on Higher Educa
tion. "Considerable research and exper
ience," the report said, "show favorable
results, both in the area of potential fis
cal economies and the improvement of
instruction."
For Nebraska's colleges, the state
wide Educational Television Network
would really be a free bonus. The "net
work was originally designed to serve
all 21 of the state's elementary and sec- ,
ondary schools.
The on-screen inspection is over. ETV
is ready. With an invasion of students
coming, our colleges can get it delivered
just in time.
NU Veterinarians!
Get $5,900 Grant j
The University department
of veterinary science has re
ceived a $5,900 grant from the
U.S. Public Health Service
for a research on the absorp
tion of immune bodies in baby
pi?s.
This is the second year of a
two-year grant to the project,
which is directed by Drc
Loyal Payne.
Using the pigs as experi
mental animals, Dr. Payne
explains, the research is to
find out what stops the im
mune bodies, or antibodies,
from being absorbed through
the intestinal tract; then to
find ways of preventing the
blocking.
So far in the project, anti
bodies which are absorbed are
being located. Certain protein
compounds seem to be the
cause of blocking, but the re
search has not yet found out
how, Dr. Payne says.

In this case, nepotism's a pretty good idea.
And the best way to get it is through Air Force
ROTC-because the Air Force prefers to com
mission its officers directly upon graduation.
But if y'ou couldn't fit AFROTC into your
schedule, you can still apply for Aii Force
Officer Training School. . .
OTS offers college men and women an oppor
tunity to assume great responsibility. When
you complete the three-month course, youTI
be commissioned a second lieutenant, and be
come a part of a vital aspect of our defense
effort. As an Air Force dfficer, you'll be a
leader on the Aerospace Team.
We welcome your application for OTS now
but the same may not be -true next year. So if
you're within 210 days of graduation, get fu8
information from the Professor of Air Science.
