University to Be Testing Ground for UN
Educational Experiment This Summer
Pci haps the most impoitant ac
tivity of the University of Ne
braska this summer will be an
experiment designed to acquaint
people with United Nations
work. ,
The univeisity is to become a
tes'mg ground for an experiment
that the UN hopes to make the
basis for an international educa
tional program about its aims,
ideals and accomplishments.
This program is a result of a
meeting of Nebraskan educators
and the UN staff at Lake Success,
N. Y. and will include UN courses
lor school children and college
htudents; teaching materials lor
m IiooI and college instructors and
progiams for communities. The
experiment will try to correct the
idea among Americans that the
United Nations is far away, like
the Antarctic.
The "heart" of the university's
summer prog! am will be a two
fold affair: (1) Four special
United Nations clinics; and (2) A
special voi k shop seminar at
which public school teachers from
all over Nebraska will develop
an educational program.
The UN clinics will be held
June 14-15, June 28-29, Julv 12-13
and July 26-27. Each will fea
ture as "guest lecturer" a promi
nent member of the UN's perma
nent headquarters staff. Two
have aheady been selected: Dr.
W. Bryant Mumford, director of
the division of special services,
and Dr. Henry Simon Bloch of
the UN educational office. Two
others will be announced by UN
later. Each clinic will be two
days long and include appear
ances of these experts before
seminars, regular classes and a
public lecture audience. The
clinics are designed to answer
successively these four questions
about UN: What is it, what are
its achievements, how can it be
strengthened and how can Ne
braska contribute to it.
The workshop seminar, di
rected by Dr. Royre Knapp and
Dr. Sorenson of the university,
will be concerned with develop
ing courses of instruction for the
UN on the elementary and high
school level.
Additional program for community-wide
education about the
UN will be worked out at the
university, and implemented next
fall and winter in co-operation
with the University of Omaha,
the stale teachers college at Peru,
Chadron, Wayne and Kearney, the
state superintendent of public in
struction's office, the Nebraska
Education association and other
private schools in the state.
In the workshop seminar, and
other study groups, the university
hopes to develop thru an exten
sive research program these
things:
(1) The kind of UN material
needed by schools and communi
ties in Nebraska and the middle
west.
(2) The kind of informational
material UN should compile to
meet American and foreign school
needs.
(3) Establishment of a teacher

9-Weeli Session
Registration procedures for new students for summer school will
take place today in the coliseum, temporary building B and Grant
Memorial. About 2400 have registered early for the summer session
and there is reason to think enrollment will total at least 4,000 for
the term, according to Registrar G. W. Rosenlof.
It appears now that the majority of students are going fo attend
the long, nine-week session. Enrollment will probably not reach
last summer's record number of 4,500, but there will still be a
sizeable enrollment, Rosenlof said.
Change Procedure
Summer procedures have been changed this year. In the past
officials have tried to take care of the whole process in the coliseum.
However, to avoid the customary confusion and standing in line,
registration has been broken into three parts and will take place in
three buildings.
Advisory function will be carried on in the coliseum. Students
may see their advisors concerning their summer programs from 8-12
and from 1-4:30. After consultation with advisors, students are to
pick up registration tickets at the Northeast corner of the coliseum.
There will be signs for the students' convenience. This has been ar
ranged so that all students will not appear at the assignment com
mittee at once, according to Dr. Hoover, assistant registrar.
To Post Numbers
After obtaining tickets, students are to follow signs to Tempor
ary building B where numbers being taken at the time will be posted.
Numbers will also be posed in the library and in the Union. Student.-?
will see the assignment committee in building B. The committee
will take students according to the numbers they hold.
After going through the assignment committee, students are
to pay fees at Grant Memorial. Direction signs will be posted.
All classes will start on schedule Wednesday, opening the sum
mer term, Dr. Hoover said.
