Friday, Nov. 15, 1963 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Ag Offers More Courses Includes Efficiency Quality The University's College of Agriculture and Home Eco nomics does not offer signi ficantly more courses for un dergraduates than were avail able 30 years ago although many courses are different. But, at the graduate level, there has been a great in crease in the number of courses offered over the same period. This situation was reported by Dr. Franklin EJdridge, di rector of resident instruction at the College, as part of a panel discussion by agricul tural educators at the annual convention of the American Association of State Universi ties and Land-Grant Colleges. In discussing "proliferation of courses," a problem often mentioned in meetings of uni versity curriculum experts, Dr. Eldrldge noted that 85 agricultural courses were of fered at the undergraduate level in 1931-32, when the cur rent course numbering sys tem was initiated at NU, com pared with 90 during the cur rent academic year. The courses available to both graduates and under graduates increased during the same time from 43 to 78, while courses at the graduate level have increased from 49 to 71. "This emphasizes the fact that with respect to 'course proliferation.' we need to con trol or restrict courses at the graduate level," the Nebras ka director explained. In the search for efficiency, it often is necessary to alter some university departmental organization as well as or ganization of courses, he con tinued. As an example, he cited the recent creation of the Depart ment of Agricultural Educa tion within the College of Ag riculture and Home Econom ics, a combination of the de partments of Agricultural Ex tension and Vocational Edu cation. While the major in ag ricultural and home econom ics extension has been rela tively successful and evalua tion disclosed that many of the most successful Extension agents had training and ex perience in teaching voca tional agriculture, Dr. Eld ridge said. Arriving at the conclusion that one department could better serve the interests of agricultural education in Ne braska, officials decreased the total number of courses of fered, increased the size of the department staff and broad ened the scope of teaching. Combining the two depart ments also will result in clos er cooperation in future years between 4-H clubs and FFA work throughout the state, Dr. Eldridge predicted. The chief concern of college educators and administrators should, be focused upon the chat acteristics of their col lege graduates, since these, graduates are the end-product of the educational processes." However, while conceding that consideration of the grad uates as a group is "both necessary and unavoidable," he stressed that the ultimate concern still should be pointed toward the individual grad uate. "Our basic philosophy of instruction should be directed toward the development of the individual ... our greatest interest in efficiency should be to assist the student to Meeting Attracts Three From NU Three University officials attended the annual meeting of the Big Eight Registrars and Business Officers Group held recently at the Missouri School of Mines and Metal lurgy in Rolla, Missouri The three were John E. Aronson, director of admis sions, Theodore Pfeifer, sys tem analyst, and Glen Sloan, business officer. The purpose of the meeting was the discussion of mutual problems of admissions, reg istrations, and management. Eleven universities from the surrounding area and the Big Eight sent representatives. The principal speakec was Dr. Merl Baker, dean of t h e School of Mines and Metal lurgy. Mental Health Studied By NU Psychologists - More than 60 laymen and psychologists are expected to attend a southeast Nebraska conference on long range mental health Friday at the Nebraska Center. The one-day conference is an outgrowth of the Gover nor's conference on mental health and is sponsored by the University's department of psychology. reach his education objectives as rapidly as possible," the Nebraskan said. "As we move from a con sideration of the individual's needs toward the organization of courses into majors, and into graduation requirements, we will find it necessary to sacrifice some idealism, some artistry, some individuality, and some theory, but we do not need to sacrifice quality," he declared. I "Quality and efficiency are two concepts that cannot be considered separately by the educator. "As we move toward better use of student time, we should find ourselves increasing the quality of our educational pro grams," Dr. Eldridge said. Geology Trip Supplements Class Studies Nineteen University geology students are planning to sup plement their classroom stud ies through a unique agree ment with other universities in planning joint field trips. Dr. Samuel B. Treves, as sistant professor of geology and the students' adviser, said the members of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, honorary ge ology fraternity, will take two trips a year to other states in the Great Plains at their own expense to get a first hand look at the geology. The Nebraska students have just returned from a 250- mile trip through South Dako ta with students from the Uni versity of South Dakota in Vermillion.

"RAISING" CHILDREN DY THE BOOK We have a choice in America ... a choice denied millions who live under godless communism. Here is a man who is exercising that choice! He believes that children growing up in the free world ought to know the Author of Liberty. He wants his son and daughter to cherish and. embrace the spiritual insights God has given man. This father introduced his children to the Bible when they were very young. Today the Book of the Ages is their friend. Tomorrow it will be their guide through the frightening age to which they have been born. The American Bible Society supported by earnest Christian citizens and the churches they attend enables millions of families around the globe to share our heritage of Truth with this new generation on whose spiritual fibre rests the hope of the world.
