Expansion Problems
Chancellor Clifford Hardin gave
Insight into the problems of an
expanding University . and also
charged alumni to encourage stu
' dents of outstanding ability to at
tend the University at an alumni
meeting Saturday.
"Please don't think that I am
proposing that every brightest'
boy or girl in a given Nebraska
high school should come to the
University of Nebraska," the chan
cellor said. "The top high school
- scholar always receives many at
tractive offers from other schools,
both in and out of the state. I
think they should and I am glad
they do.
Chancellor Hardin said that he
believes the University, as a pub
lic institution, has more than what
might be termed "a normal" re
; sponsibility to keep educational op
portunity broad. A principal pur
pose for the establishment of uni
versities such as Nebraska's, he
said, was to provide broad edu
caitonal opportunity.
At the present time, Dr. Hardin
said, the extremes of thought
among educational leaders are rep
resented on one hand by a fear that
educational standards will be low
ered by efforts to serve greatly in
creased student populations, and
on the other by the fear that edu
cational oppostunity will be re-
- stricted through efforts to protect
standards.
"I am convinced that we can
take a substantial increase in en
, rollment here at the University
without endangering our standards, j
the chancellor said. "So this de
cision, on limiting enrollment is
not one that we will have to make
tomorrow, or perhaps for several
years to come.
"Nonetheless, I do know that
the University of Nebraska, as
other similar institutions, sooner
or later is going to have to face

up to sucK questions as;
"1. How many students can we
take?
"2. Who should they be?
"3. How can we retain the indi
vidual, personal touch? .
"4. Where will the money come
from?" - t
The chancellor said he has "a
deep sympathy for the . student
whose abilities are limited" and
added,
"I think we must in the future
offer him more in the way of
two-year terminal course opportun
ity. The cold, hard fact of the
matter is that our four-year pro
gram slowed-down by an overload
of below-average students. We can
not permit this University's four
year program to become a sort of
last-resort for a greater number
of students who can't find admis
sion anywhere else."
Business Favors
Liberal Education
A report recently published in the
"Harvard Business. Review" states
that college training in the liberal
arts is the "most valuable single
resource available for management
of the future."
The article, "Liberal Arts as
Training for Business," was written
by Frederick -Pamp, division man
ager of the American Management
Association.
The modern executive, accord
ing to the report, requires a "men
tal equipment of the sort that the
old time tycoon could do without."
Pamp said that computation ma
chines are rapidly taking over the
"quantitative aspects of the execu
tive's job."
- "Narrow . specialization . Is not
enough," according to Pamp who
states that "breadth as well as a
depth of judgment" is necessary.

people from all over."
He added, "Neither we nor the
girls can wear shorts to work in."
Rogers has had previous summer '
work camp experience in southern
Illinois with a group which helped
rebuild a church. About this he

each other's activities had been,
and we were doing things entirely
different from our every-day school
activities."
Rogers will leave Egypt Aug. 1
