Progress a word which is so often blighted out of the
University of Nebraska vocabulary by that favorite Corn
husker term tradition.
But this summer, progress means to rear its ugly head
ir earnest. This progress will stem from the office of Act
ing Director of the Summer Session, Dr. Frank Sorenson,
In contrast to other summer schools which have been
hot, dull and barren of extra-curricular activity of any kind,
Sorenson plans to fill the summer session agenda so full
"that one person will simply not be able to do everything
offered."
The program includes a top notch guidance and coun
seling service, a series of clinics, fine arts programs, lec
tures and experimental schools. And it even sports authori
ties from other colleges and universities. Twenty professors
representing schools from Harvard to California will add
new life to the 125-man University of Nebraska faculty.
The innovation of a program which gives the student a
chance to "grow" outside the classroom, is only one point
of progress on Sorenson's record. H played a major role
in instituting the state-wide United Nation's program and
the UNESCO conference, carried on kast semester.
This year will be the test. A test not only for an ex
panded summer school program but a test of the student
body. The improvements have been made. The opportuni
ties are here. This is it the chan for students to profit
and enjoy a full summer program.
Builders Plan
Summer Tasks
The University Builders will
continue many of their activi
ties into the summer, welcoming
and entertaining visiting high
school students, and shaping up
plans on the fall's publications.
One of the first summer tasks
will be the greeting and enter
ment of the members of Boys'
and Girls' states. A floor show
and pep talk were given to the
delegates at their annual dance
which was held June 9 at the Stu
dent Union ballroom.
ALL DURING the summer,
the Campus Tours committee
under the direction of Sally
Johnson will conduct groups of
visitors, large and small, around
the university campus and build
ings.
Biggest summer undertaking of
the Builders is the new job of
publishing a pre-school edition of
the Daily Nebraskan, which will
be sent to every newly enrolled
student. Gene Berg and M. J.
Melick will head the editorial
staff.
All-State Fine Arts clinic par
ticipants will attend a Builders
sponsored informal party after
their hayrack ride party, June
18.
Planning of other Builders pub
lications will continue during the
summer vacation period, also.
Production of this fall's editions
of the Student Directory and the
Calendar require summer work.
Another teacher popular with
the kindergartners passed paper
and pencils to the pupils and
asked them to draw the dome
of the State capitol showing the
sower on top.
One six-year-old asked for a
red pencil. When the teacher
wanted to know what she was
goinj to do with it, she looked at
her drawing seriously as she ans
wd, "Put the 'sore' on top of
thx dome."

Dear Editor:
It is not our wish to sound like graduating seniors with chips
on our skoulders, but we would, nevertheless, like to offer what we
mink is constructive criticism of the workings of the University in
special reference to student activities.
Because of the nature of student activities, tbere is a treat many
administrative-student relationships pertaining- to the functioning: of
these activities. Some of these are satisfactory and work for the best
welfare of the organizations. Others are not. Whether the failing is
due to the students or to the administrators probably depends upon
the point of view.
It is our opinion that administrative co-operation is not what
K should be. Many administrators have deplored the fact that students
don't consult them enough on student matters. Yet, while these state
ments have been made, most students in activities regard conferences
or business relaionships with administrators as dreaded ordeals
rather than welcomed assistance.
There is a general feeling that there is a definite lack of co
operation somewhere along the line. The result is that students, in
activities too often resent what they feel to be administrative control
or interference. The administration should be viewed by students as
a source of aid rather than an omnipotent force which limits and
restricts the freedom of students.
For example, Kosmet Klub, one of the oldest and best known
organizations on campus, went in debt this spring- because it was
forced to five its spring review in theatres off the campus. Reason
for this was, naturally enough, that the Temple theatre was no longer
available for public performances. A few months previously, Kosmet
Klub had riven a generous donation of $1,000 for the purpose of buy
ing books for the library.
Administrative response to the situation was not one of calling
in the officers and explaining on a man-to-man basis the situation
and helping to find the solution. Instead a somewhat demanding letter
in a strict business tone was sent to the officers which prompted an
undue amount of worry until the problem was ironed out by ob
taining loans from other student organizations.
Once that the administrators regard students in activities as in
dividuals capable of the responsibilities they have and are willing to
discuss student problems on an equal basis with them, and once this
attitude of the administration becomes apparent to the students, the
relationships between administrators and students will be highly
beneficial to the good of both. That is our opinion.
Sincerely,

administrators from realizing the
full intensity of the weather out

are resigned to shedding coats and
wiping brows and the word is
given that it's time for the air
conditioning to be turned on.
Then, wham, just like that, it
rains and turns cold, and every
one is freezing, but the cost of
turning off the air-conditioning
is greater than leaving it on, so
we don sweaters and shiver in
the cold storage of the Union . . ."

STUDENT SUPPLY HEADQUARTERS
Registration
To Hit 3700
Mark Today
Approximately 3700 students
will register for the summer ses
sion by 5 o'clock today, according
to Dr. Floyd Hoover, assistant
registrar.
Registration will take place in
three campus buildings, Tempo
rary B, Physical Education and
Military and Naval Science. The
first step will be taken in the
Military building where, students
will meet with their advisers.
TWO-THIRDS of the student
population for the summer session
have already completed their
registration. Of these 2114 some
two hundred have not paid fees.
This may be done today without
a charge for late registration.
"We expect some 15-1600 stu
dents to register today," Dr.
Hoover said.
He added that he hopes to wind
up the procedure for all summer
school students by 5 p. m.
GRADUATE students have until
Saturday to register, although
classes begin on Wednesday,
June 8.
Drop and add for summer school
courses will take place on Thurs
day, June 9. It will be held in
Temporary B. Before dropping or
adding a course, students must see
their advisers and the deans of
their respective colleges.
The anticipated 3700 students
represent a drop in summer school
enrollment. While this number is
lower than the enrollment for the
past three years, it still represents
an increase over pre-war compilations.
Free Union Movie
"Western Union" will be the
first of the free Sunday movies
to be shown in the Union ball
room. Beginning at 7:30 p. m., June
12, the movie, starring Robert
Young and Randolph Scott will
tell the story of the stringing of
the first trans-continental wires,
around 1860. The film includes
the Indian attacks, forest fires
and other hardships which the
Western Union workers had to
surmount in putting up the wires.
