Chatfield:
Llany Causes
Cm Explain
MUiC fyi.illd
More students are receiving
more downs in more subjects at
the end of the 10-week exam pe
riord, reported Lee W. Chatfieii,
assistant dean of student affairs
in charge of scholarship.
His office is receiving more ac
curate reports from faculty mem
bers on the quality of student
work, he said. This is important,
he explained, because these stu
dents will then be able to improve
their work before the end of the
semester.
The increase in the number of
down hours is in all probability a
rtection throughout the nation of
being more selective m the schol
arship qualities instead of restric
tions by enrollment requirements,
Chatfield explained.
The probable effect, he said, will
be a gradual rise in scholarship
standards because faculty mem
bers are influenced by the aver
age of the students in their classes.
Chatfield reported his office
started to notice an increase in the
number of downs during midse
roester last spring. This increase
has gradually risen until the fresh
man number being interviewed by
Junior Division for scholastic de
linquency has nearly, doubled over
last year. More opperclassmen
have also received more downs.
The organized house with the
maximum number of downs ac
cumulated 167 hours due to the
work of S3 individuals, Chatfield
reported. Four students received
14 down hours in one organized
house for the minimum number of
hours. There is approximately 50
per cent increase in the number of
students receiving downs in two
or more subjects, he said.
On the basis of records in the
last several years, Chatfield re
ported a 25 per cent increase in
the number of down hours this
wear, even taking into account the
rise in University enrollment.
One major factor in this increase
in the number of down hours has
been the redefinition of the com
position of a down of the T
grade a grade below 4, 'unsatis
factory, but redeemable." Should
the student continue at the present
quality of work, he will be unsat
isfactory in scholarship, Chatfield
said.

Hoover Studies. Enrollment:
US Graduates To Increase
The total number of Nebraska
public high school graduates may
increase about 40 per cent by
1964. This prediction is made by
Dr. Floyd Hoover, director of reg
istration and records at the Uni
versity. Hoover has completed a study
of .school enrollments in the state
to determine the potential number
of students who might enter the
University during the next 10
years.
His study shows there will be a
16 per cent rise in the number of
high school seniors by 1959 and a
40 per cent jump by 1964. Dr.

Hoover explained that he used the
enrollment figures for seniors since
there is a very high ratio between
the number of students entering
the senior class and the number
being graduated.
The towns, other than Omaha
and .Lincoln, which are expected
to show the greatest increases in
10 years are Broken Bow, 125 per
cent; Columbus, 100 per cent;
Kearney, 99 per cent, and Lexing
ton, 94 per cent.
He explained that his study was
based on the assumption that there
will be no great change in the
state population trend.
Hoover predicts, as a result of

40 Per Cent
this study, that the University's
total enrollment will increase to
12,000 in 196S compared with its
1955 enrollment of 7,900. -
Hoover made this estimate by
using 50 per cent as the average of
the increase in the potential num
ber of University freshmen in 15A
He did not include the Colleges of
Law, Medicine and Dentistry in
arriving at the increased enroll
ment figure since these colleges
have relatively stable, limited en
rollment. '
Increase in interest is another
factor in the anticipated rise in the
number, of University students, bt
said.
