Proposal
Blasted
Laase, Hall Disagree
With 4-Yr. Program
A resolution to change the
state law to require four years
of English in high school with
out the substitution of speech
or journalism found opposition
in the University speech and
journalism departments last
week.
The resolution was one of
two designed to improve the
standards of high school Eng
lish. The resolutions were pre
sented at a meeting of the
Nebraska Council of Teachers
of English which met in Oma
ha Saturday.
Dr. Leroy Laase, chairman
of the speech department, and
Dr. William Hall, director of
the school of journalism, ob
jected to the resolution on the
grounds that only through
speech and journalism did
English become "real."
No Sacrifice
Dr. James Miller, chairman
of th English department, ap
proved the resolution by stat
ing, "We believe English that
is literature and composition
is a basic subject and must
not be sacrificed for any oth
er subject in the curriculum."
He added that the substitu
tion would "mislead and short
change the students."
Second Resolution
The other resolution recom
mends that teachers of Eng
lish be required to complete
24 hours of college composi
tion and literature without the
substitution of journalism or
speech.
Dr. Hall commented that
this would "damage programs
recently undertaken to send
professionally qualified people
into teaching fields."
The second resolution also
suggested the reduction of
class sizes to 25 pupils, the
reduction of the extra-curricular
activities load on English
teachers and a limit of four
classes a day.
