Dr. Frank Sorenson, chairman
of the department of education
services of the University, is being
considered as possible director of
the educational staff of Point
Four.
Point Four, otherwise known
as Technical Co-operation Ad
ministration, is a program de
signed to aid other countries in
Improving agricultural, educa
tional and health conditions.
Several weeks ago in Washing
ton, Dr. Sorenson was invited to
interview officials of Point Four
and discuss the director vacancy.
After a long discussion, he said,
he was invited to consider the po
sition. Such a position would ne
cessitate a possible year's absence
from the University.
The matter of a leave of ab
sence has been presented to the
Board of Regents and the Chan
cellor. It is understood that such
a leave would be granted upon
confirmation of the appoint
ment, Dr. Sorenson said. This
appointment, he added, would
result .in recognition for the
University, the opportunity to
keep Informed and the oppor
tunity to share more directly in
the program.
"If the appointment is con
firmed by TCA, I will probably
accept the position. It would be a
great honor to be the director of
the Point Four educational staff,"
declared Dr. Sorenson.

Point Four, or Technical Co-od

in increasing food nroductionJ
oettering health conditions and
improving educational systems.
This was stated by Dr. Frank
Sorenson, chairman of Univer
sity educational services. Dr.
Sorenson is being considered for
the position of director of the
educational staff of Point Four.
In explaining the history of
Point Four, Dr. Sorei,on said
TCA v as recommended to Con

ana a hair. Under the direct super
vision of the department of state.
me program operates with the
help of two advisory committees.
The first is representative of
American business and labor,
Dr. Sorenson explained. It Is now
under the head of Eric Johns
ton, president of the motion pic
ture association. The second
committee is made up of the
heads of major departments in
Washington, such as Interior,
Labor, etc., he said.
The total budget of TCA in 1951
w.s $3 million. Thirty-six coun
tries are included in the program
and this, Sorenson states, is a
fairly inexpensive method of help
ing them to improve their condi
tions. It is constructive expendi
ture, in that for every dollar the
U.S. spends, each of these coun
tries spends three in an attempt
to better their conditions.

A motion to admit men to Coed
Follies next year was passed Wed
nesday by the Student Council.
The motion will"" be referred to
the AWS board.
The motion came as a result
of discussion on the Tuesday
night riot at the Nebraska the
ater during the Follies produc
tion. It was decided that the
only possible way to insure
against future acts of this type
would be to allow the men to
attend the performance.
A delegation of N-club members
accompanied by athletic director
George "Potsy" Clark and track
coach Ed Weir, petitioned the
Council for a representative on
the Student Council. The present
constitution calls for no represen
tative from the N-club and they
wish to amend Article four, Sec
tion one.
Speakers for the N-club argued
that since they were one of the
most representative groups of the
University, having botn aitiliated
and non-affiliated men and mem
bers from all parts of the state
in their membership, they would
fulfill the Qualifications set up
for representation on the Council.
Reasons for no N-club repre
sentation provided in the con
stitution were based on attend
ance at meetings last year and
the fact that no mention was
made at the time the Council

LAW LECTURES
Variety Of Opportunities
Open To Future Lawyers
Various law specialties, jobs re
lated to the law profession and a
"general practitioner" type of law
practice are open to students who
obtain a Bachelor of Laws degree.
This was the assertion of Dr.
Arthur Hitchcock opening a dis
cussion on law careers in Love
Library auditorium Tuesday even
ing. The first of four career lecture
discussions scheduled by the Coun
celing service was calculated to
advise possible law students on
the law profession in general and
the University Law college in
particular.
Dean Belsheim of the Law
college explained that the first
requirement for entrance is a
satisfactory grade in either a
University aptitude test or a
national law aptitude exam.
Two curricula are open to law
students, Belsheim pointed out.
Students may embark on a four
year course after completing one
half the work required for either
a Bachelor of Science or Arts de
gree, 63 semester hours.
If a student applies for entrance
holding a B. S. or B. A. he will
have to complete three years of
law for the Bachelor of Laws.
Belsheim advises the two year
pre-law course for students who
are certain that they want to be
come lawyers. Those who take
only three years in Law college
find they cannot cover the sub
jects they would like to finish in
the shorter time.

The fines, Cobel said, would
work on the same basis as a li

Suggestions from the floor
Included many long range plans.
It was suggested that under
ground parking lots and two
or three story lots could be
built and paid for by a slight
fee when using the lot.
No formal action on the Council
motion that all segregated faculty
student parking be abolished was
taken by the faculty committee.
The question will be voted upon
at a meeting of the committee

on to say.
There is no pre-law course, he
emphasized. Almost every college
course is related to law. He ad
vised students to take those
courses they like best.
But he thinks English is es
pecially important. Law students
must be able to express them
selves concisely and clearly, he
said. History, psychology, sociol

courses.

are required to participate in

but two teams are eliminated.
Later students may want to
work in the Legal Aid bureau
sponsored by the College.
Pierce pointed out that the
attitude of the Law college is
business like and "tough." One
out of three students are
dropped from eaoh freshman
class.
The last speaker on the panel.
