FIVE YEARS TO MA
Aodl For AAosters
ceoves
A three-year masters program at the
University, designed to interest outstand
ing students in college teaching as a ca
reer, is entering its second semester and
has been received with enthusiasm by
the faculty and students enrolled.
The program, conceived through a
$297,000 grant from the Ford Foundation,
has reached 58 students from nine uni
versity departments. Although no scholar
ships have yet been made available it is
hoped that some financial means may
be found to provide students with assist
ance once they've reached the graduate
level
'I find that a disadvantage in the
program, such as not being able to teach
on the high school level without a sup
plementary teaching certificate, is over
shadowed by other factors inherent in the
program," said one of the students par
ticipating. In ennumerating the advantages, one
student cited the fact that "getting an M.A.
one year after graduating will enable me
to get into college teaching a year earlier
than I'd expected."
"Another good point is that through
the masters plan the student begins to
feel a new challenge and enthusiasm to
ward his major," a student observed.
The general concensus among students
involved was that the program was an
honor as well as a vehicle through which
learning could be emphasized.
Chinese Celebrate
By Mick Rood
Senior Staff Writer
In China and in the Union
Ballroom Friday night, the
"Year of the Dragons" be
gins. Chinese New Year's cele
brations fall on Friday.
According to James Wong,
Vice-President of the Chinese
Students Association, all Uni
versity students are invited to
a "Year of the Dragons' New
Year's celebration at 7:30
p.m. in the ballroom.
Wong explains that each
New Year's celebration in
China traditionally is named
after an animal. Last year
was the "Year of the Rab
bits" and for a cycle of twelve
years the occasion is named
after a different animal. The
dragon is the fifth animal in
the current cycle and decora
tions for the celebrations Fri
day night center around the
dragon.
Wong and the thirty other
members of Chinese Student
Association will provide na-

Students in the graduate college will
instruct freshmen honors sections from
their respective departments, ay well as
continue with their own courses' as stu
dents. They will receive their masters de
grees at the end of one year, the fifth in
their entire college curriculum.
Although the plan is in itself complete
ed by the acquisition of an M. A. it is not
intended that this degree will terminate
these students' education, said Vice Chan
cellor Roy Holly, dean of the gradu
ate college. He indicated a feeling
that the majority of Nebraska Career
Scholars will remain in the graduate col
lege and achieve doctorates.
Holly added that "the objectives of the
program are to introduce a curriculum es
pecially structured to stimulate and en
courage these students toward research
and independent study."
In other areas, Holly noted that
funds have been allocated to establish a
special lecture series bringing to this cam
pus distinguished scholars for meetings
with the students.
Professor Claude Villee of Harvard
University, a noted biochemist, will be on
the campus next Tuesday, Feb. 18.
Plans are also being made to establish
cooperative programs with the liberal arts
colleges of the state. Expected to be in
itiated in the fall of 1936, this phase of
the program has already been met with
enthusiasm by three college presidents contacted.

Studies
applicants from among Ne
braska college teachers in the
natural or biological sciences,
are given the opportunity of
attending the University for a
year of graduate study.
Their institutions continue
to pay the professors' salaries
and are reimbursed by the
National Science Foundation.
Dr. Benjamin W. McCash-
land, director of the program
at the University said several
institutions in the state have
replaced their professors with
University graduate students
for the year the professor
spends away from his institu
tion. McCashland said Jensen ex
pects to complete his require
ments for the Ph.D. degree,
and Longwell, to continue
work toward his doctorate.
This brings to eight the
number of state college pro
fessors who are now enrolled
in the program, now in the
third year of NSF support.
The institutions with teach
ers at the University under
the plan include Hastings Col
lege, Chadron State College,
College of St. Mary, Ne

and Wayne State College.
