The Daily Nebroskan Monday, March 25, 1957 Page 4 Conference: 'High School Work Too Easv Freshman High school instruction should be tougher. This opinion was expressed fre quently Saturday morning by many ot ttie more than 200 University freshmen who had heart-to-heart talks with their former high school principals during the third annual principals-freshmen conference sponsored by the University. Typical of the scores of small session conferences was one con ducted by R. C. Meyers, prin cipal of Schuyler High School, and three of his last year seniors, Gretchen Saeger, Mary Ann Vera, and Tom Stibal. "The tougher you can make high school chemistry, the better," Tom told Principal Meyers.

Krush To Speak: Meolfh M To Convene Friday Approximately 150 members of fhe Nebraska Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation are expected to attend the group's state convenion here Friday and Saturday.

The Schuyler freshmen, however, were unanimous in the opinion that their high school preparation for university work has served them well. All three are making average or better grades at the University. The freshmen said they were grateful for the theme-writing in struction they had received in high school and could nave used more. Not all the problems a uni versity beginner has, however, can be traced to their high school days. The Schuyler students agreed that they find a great difference between the attitudes and abilities of University instructors .especial ly in the field of English. Gretchen Saeger, one of the top ranking graduates of her high school class, said she had found it highly profitable, grade-wise, to spend as much time studying the likes and dislikes of her instruc tors as the subject matter. Her classmates agreed that there seems to be a wide difference between what English instructors consider good and poor work. "Just for the heck of it," one of the students said, "I submitted a theme on Winston Churchill. I got a grade of 4'i on it. It was word-for-word the same theme that one of my friends submitted in a different class section and she got an 8." (A grade of 41 is about 72; an 8 is the equivalent ot about 90.) "That is quite a spread " Prin cipal Meyers said. "I can under stand a difference of a few points; but that's difficult to explain." A group of freshmen including Bryan Ericson, Stephen McMillan, Herbert Feidler and Andy Backer, also felt that their high school preparation could well have in cluded more theme writing and more test questions requiring clear expression rather than "right" or "wrong' choiee answers. The Schuyler students indicated school people worry too much about the ability of high school students to adapt to the lecture type classes common in college instruction. "The only trouble I had in lec tures," one of them said, "was trying to decide when the lect urer thought he had said some thing important." Dr. Floyd Hoover, University registrar, explained the purpose of bringing the freshmen and their former high school principals to gether is to gain information on strengths and weaknesses of both the high school and university programs. Farmer Service: NU Agricultural Experts Combine In Ed Program Agriculture experts of the Uni versity are combining their efforts in a stepped up education program designed to help farmers adjust to drought conditions, according to W. V. Lambert, dean of the col lege of Agriculture. The combined staffs are launch ing a series of 15 circulars and have begun a series of meetings on specific drought problems.
