Dr. Carl W. Borgmann, dean of the faculies, announced the department rearrangement of policy was in the interest of economy and efficiency. In addition, verified news of the resignation of Miss Kady Faulkner, associate professor of art, was received. She will re sign Aug. 31. Along with this report came unofficial reports of impending resijmpiions of several other members of the department. According to Dr. Borgmann, the University has given the art department directions to do the following: 1. Simplify the present pro gram of instruction in art. Rea son for this directive was that there are too many courses. Witi the new change in policy, em phasis will "e placed on a basic course, such as history of art, drawing, painting, sculpture, and design. This will mec the elimi nation of many courses now car ried. 2. Change the basic degree of the department to that of a Bachelor of Art, replacing the present degree. Bachelor of Fine Arts. The latter degree would be reserved for a small number of highly talented students who plan to enter the professional field. 3. Reduce the size of art classes. This move is seen as necessary in order to permit bet ter instruction. With the directed simplification of course offer ings, the basic classes will be broken down into smaller groups. 4. Give greater emphasis to courses, which "will bring im provement in public school art on a long-range basis, and to those which will be of value to general liberal arts and science students and to architectural students." Explains Change -Dr. Borgmann explained that the University's directions for changes in the department are based principally upon the find ings of two of the midwesst's leading art education authorities. Dr. Lester Longman and James Boyle. Dr. Longman is chairman of the department of art at the University of Iowa, anjK Mr. Boyle is chairman of the Uni versity of Wyoming's art depart ment. Both are recognized lead ers in their field. For some time. Dr. Borgmann said, the University has felt that the cost of its art department's operations exceeded the -benefit accruing to students, and that its educational objectives in this region. To get an unbiased appraisal of the department's work, the University invited Dr. Longman and Mr. Boyle to visit the Ne- John Wilkinson Chosen Head Of Alpha Zeta John Wilkinson, Ag junior, will take over as chancellor of Alpha Zeta, men's agricultural honorary, at their regular meet ing Thursday, along with four other officers, elected at their meeing earlier this month. Additional officers named are: Jim McDonwell, censor; Eugene Heuermann, scribe; Eugene Rob inson, treasurer; and George Reichenbach, chronicular. Wilkinson, also secretary of Tri-K, honorary agronomy fra ternity, rounds out his offices with the treasurership of Farm House fraternity. Alpha Zeta is a national honor fraternity located at 47 of the land grant colleges in the nation. It originated at Ohio State Uni versity in 1897. The primary goal was to provide for agricul tural students similar privileges to those enjoyed by students in other fields of study. Membership to the fraternity has several requisites. Among others, the student must have completed one and a half years of study toward a bachelor de gree . at the University with a grade average which places him in the upper two fifth of his class.' He must also be of good character and show".qualities of leadership. Activities of the organization are numerous. They recently took a definite stand against cheating at the University. They also yearly sponsor the Dean's convocation. Club meetings, which are twice monthly, feature instructional speeches by promi nent agriculturalists.

Ten days ago, following an extended personal inspection of the department, Dr. Longman and Mr. Boyle submitted their recommendations and Dr. Borg mann subsequently met with the department and outlined a series of administratitve policy adjust ments which are expected to pro vide a savings in operational costs and better all-around art. Faulkner States Plans Miss Faulkner stated that she has future plans, but that she would "rather not say just now" what they are. She has been a member of the University's art department for the past 20 years. The unofficial reports of other resignations were checked by The Daily Nebraskan as report ers contacted two members of the department and Dr. Borgmann. Miss Miriam McGrew, art in structor had no comment as well as D wight Kirsch, professor of art and director of the Univer sity art galleries. Kirsch has re leased the information, however, that he has "not been asked to resign and that he has not made up his mind." Dr. Duard Laging. department chairman, could not be contacted for comment. He previously stated that the new change in the department was "all part and parcel" of an "all-University ac tion rather than solely mine." Joseph Ishikawa, curator of the , art galleries, also could not be contacted for additional in formation. Borgmann Interviewed Dr. Borgmann was briefly in terviewed by a "Rag" reporter. The interview followed this pat tern. Q. With more concentration on the basic courses in the art de partment, do you think that there will be fewer advanced courses? A. Yes, there will probably be a less-wide field. Q. Will there be a noticeable decrease in the need for pres ently employed members of the art department? A. Not that we anticipate. Q. Will there be any more resignations other than Miss Faulkner's? A. Hers is the only one that I know of. Dr. Duard Laging, chairman of the department since 1947, will continue in his present posi tion. The policy revisions involved no requests for resignations from any member of the department and all were urged to cooper ate in the fulfillment of the new program. , Union Expansion Chosen Top Story The student vote to add a wing to the present Union was the se mester's biggest news event in the opinion of 13 staff members the opinion of the 13 Daily Ne braskan staff members.

Exam Cheating The question of cheating on exams, the semester's second most important news story, came as a result of the expulsion of eight studenU who stole test ma terial from the campus during last semester's finals. The Student Council investi gated the matter. No definite de cision has been reached as yet, although a solution is still being sought. A student-faculty meet ing held to discuss the matter was attended by about 25 people. The number three story was Bill Glassford's decision, to re main as head football coach at Nebraska following an offer from Pittsburgh university, his alma mater. The campus was quite upset for about a week over reports that Glassford would leave Nebraska. He re ceived a number of letters and calls from Nebraskans, and the students held a rally urging him to stay. . After he announced that he would stay, Chancellor Gustav son said that so far as he was concerned, Glassford would re main as football coach as long as he wanted to continue to build for Nebraska. Three Way Tie Nebraska's three-way tie with Kansas and Kansas State for the Big Seven basketball title was Fall Migration Site year. He stated that Potsy Clark was very much concerned about seating arrangements for both sports, however it was too late to do anything about seats in the stadium. A letter will be sent in the fall to Potsy Clerk for presentation to the Athletic board, stating that the student body wants all seats on the east side of the Coliseum and the west balcony reserved as a stu dent section. After discussion it was agreed upon by the Council that Kan sas University would be the only logical choice for a University approved student migration. Bus tickets plus game price would be about $7. The final decision as to arrangements will be made next year.

In a letter explaining the ac tion, the Council committee wrote that "time was too limited for proper filing, adequate checking of the eligibility and sufficient publicity to warrant the dignified type of election that the Student Council could approve."

Fall Election. The letter expressed the Coun cil's hopes that an election of class officers for the junior and senior classes can be held early in the fall.

"It is un fortunate," she stated," that the election was undertaken with so limited a period of time, and particularly at a time when the old Council was going out and the new Council coming in." A situation such as this, she pointed out, causes a certain amount of misunderstanding with matters of just who is re sponsible within the organiza tion for certain duties. "Ample time for good pub licity and proper filing should be given," she maintained," and certainly those in charge of checking the eligibility lists should be granted courtesy and sufficient time to enable them to do the work the best."
