On UN Campus
Chancellor C. S. Boucher and
Professor Karl Arndt discussed
"integrated courses" at the an
nual faculty homecoming dinner
held Friday night in the Student
Union.
Chancellor Boucher discussed
the introductory courses stating
that it is no longer necessary to
argue the purposes and educa
tional values of integrated courses,
when in each instance tne course
is specially designed and con
Hiirterl at the aDDroDriate level of
difficulty or comprehension with
clearly defined educational objec
tives for a particular student
group.
In cases where such courses
have failed, he pointed out, the
blame could be laid to tacuity ef
ficiency rather than student de
ficiency. Prnfpssnr Arndt outlined what
has been done at Nebraska with
a new course in "social institu
tions which integrates material
from the fields of sociology, po
litical science and economics.
Renortine that during the past
two years the agronomy depart
ment of the experiment station
has released to Nebraska farmers
24 new varieties of 11 different
I'arm crops. Dr. Quisenberry also
cited the recently released Paw
nee wheat and its good record
against the black tsem rust which
was destructive of many other
varieties the past summer.
