"You might call it a com
promise," Chancellor Clifford
llardin commented on the re
port of the Ad Hoc commit
tee of Teacher Certification
appointed to study points of
disagreement between the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences and
Teachers College.
The report differed from the
recommendations of the 11
Arts and Sciences professors
in that it contained no pro
vision for control of certifi
cation by the Registrar's of
fice instead of Teachers Col
lege. The committee to study the
certification issue was ap
pointed by Chancellor llardin
last December. Dr. Phillip
McVcy, associate professor of
business organization, was se
lected as head of the com
mittee at that time. McVcy
disclosed that the committee
has met 12 times since then
to study the problem.
Certification of teachers is
now accomplished by the rec
ommendation of the Teach
ers College to the State Nor
mal Board.

1st E-Week To Legislature
About 45 years ago, an en

promote the first Engineering
Open House, the forerunner of
the University E-Week, stood
before the Legislature of Ne
braska announcing the eve
ning demonstration for the
public and urging the law
makers to come.
"And the legislators at
tended," commented A. A.
Luebs, professor of mechan
ical engineering and the sen
ior who announced the first
open house. "A crowd of over
3000 attended the first dem
onstration." "There were only five sen
iors who directed most of the
work," said Luebs. "I made
big signs and announced it to
the public."
Displays at that time were
held principally in Richards
Hall. They showed the theo

Committee Divided
The committee split along
the University-Nebraska Art
Association committee formed
to advise on selection.
In accepting the project,
Johnson said he believed that
the University would lead the
nation and that the new art
gallery, like the stale capitol,
would be a great asset to Ne
braska. Art Apprecialor
Mr. Johnson entered the
architectural field as an ap
predator of the art, became
a publicist of its virtues and
then progressed to establish
himself in the front rank cf
the professionals.
His latest project, with Mies
van der Rone, is the Segram
building in New York. . A
bronze skyscraper of 38 stor
ies, it rises over a half-acre
plaza of trees and pools. He
also is playing a leading part
in the design of the Lincoln

"I heartily recommend

quality of guidance and coun
seling claimed for it. In their
judgment, students should ba
permitted to matriculate in
any college so long as they
fulfill legal requirements for
certification. They hold that '
elimination of dual matricu
lation would encourage more
students to enter the teaching
profession and intensify the
efforts of subject area advise
in guiding them toward that
profession.
Agreement
The committee was in
agreement in that they be
lieved that the Teachers Col
lege and the subject area de
partments of the several col
leges of the University have
a mutual and inseparable in
terest in teacher preparation.
They urged that the pro
gram and curricula planning
should be a co-operative un
dertaking among them, and
that the Chancellor appoint a
standing advisory committee
on teacher education.
They agreed that any de
partment in which a second
ary-school teacher candidate
takes w o r k for his teaching
major, minor or professional
education should have the op
portunity to evaluate his qual
ifications as a teacher.
Each subject area depart
ment would submit to the Co
mittee on Teacher Certifica
tion of Teachers College an
evaluation and recommenda
tion concerning each student
which shall become a part of
his permanent record, and
which shall be used in deter
mining his eligibility for cer
tification and ultimate place
ment in teaching profession.
The report stated -that the
members of the committee
believed that the roles of each
of the various divisions of the
University should be more
clearly defined than they are
at the present time.
Regents Pick
Architect
The Selmer Solheim firm
of Lincoln was named by the
Board of Regents as the ar
chitect for the proposed Kel
logg center.
In February, the Univer
sity was chosen for the es
tablishment of a $2,642,000
Center for Continuing Educa
tion.
Leadership
With a grant of $1,856,000
from the W. K. Kellogg Foun
dation of Battle Creeki the
University assumed leader
ship of adult educational con
tinuance in the Great Plains
area.
The Center's central struc
ture, about 400 feet long by
80 feet wide, will be a five
story adult-conference facility
having an auditorium seating
700, meeting and lecture
rooms, an educational televi
sion studio and hotel and din
ing accomodations for guests.
Estimated cost of the building
and its furnishing is Z mil
lion. A special four-story wing
will be named the "Youth
Hall" with facilities for meet
ings of Future Farmers, 4-H
Clubs, Boys' and Girls' State
and Fine Arts courses for
youth.
Youth Hall
The wing, 176 feet long by
56 feet wide, will include a
small auditorium, two assem
bly and instructional rooms,
a cafeteria served by a cen
tral kitchen and dormitory
quarters for 336.
Nebraska was the first land
grant school supported direct
ly by such state funds to
house such an education cen
ter, according to Dr. Emory
Morris, director of the Kel
logg Foundation.
He stated that Nebraska's
demonstration of its willing
ness to aid education was
one of the primary reasons it
was chosen.
The Kellogg Foundation is
committed to provide $1.5 mil
lion toward construction and
equipment, as well as $356,-
000 to help finance a part of
the Center s program during
its pioneer stage of operation.
This committment is con
tingent upon the University
raising the balance of the nec
essary construction tunds of
$1,142,000 within 12-month
period.
Planetarium
The Regents accepted un
animously the recommenda
tion of Museum Director Dr.
C. B. Schultz for a Division
of Astronomy and Planetar
ium. This makes a total of nine
divisions in the Museum.
