Ministers The religious atmosphere at the University is belter than at many schools of sim ilar size, according to the opinions of two campus reli gious leaders. The Rev. Keith Stevensen. pastor of the Baptist Student fellowship, and the Rev. Rex Knowles, pastor of Presby House, agreed upon this point when ( questioned about re ligious attitudes of college students. Become Concerned The Rev. Knowles said stu dent groups seem to becom ing more concerned about the religious problems of this age rather than less so as theo logians often have claimed. He also pointed out that he had noticed a progressive in crease in student participa tion in church activities and church services during the 12 year period he has been at the University. More than 95 per, cent of the students indicated a church membership on their Information cards. According to the Rev. Knowles, this is a much higher percentage than most schools. He estimated . approxi mately 40 per cent of the stu dents attend church services Student Health Councils Unique, Fuenning Says "Where are the cold pills? What do you do for a stiff neck? My ear lobe itches . . ." So goes the life of a health chairman, the students' liai son between Student Health and group. This medico is in charge of the first aid kit and co-ordination of health prac tices of his particular house with methods recommended by the health center. The University's student health councils are unique, ac cording to Dr. Samuel Fuen- Soroptomists Offer Award For Women For the. eighth year the Soroptimist Club of Los An geles is tffering a $1,500 fel lowship ftward open to wom en graduate students.

Both pastors agreed the ac ceptance of religious belief and practices often becomes a problem to the college stu dent. The Rev. Knowles re marked that a falling away from the present orthodoxes of religion are expected. It is a part of the psychological development of the individual to question the concrete con cepts of religion which he learned as a child. This questioning indicates a move toward discovering himself. However, the Rev. Knowles pointed out the ma jority of students find, main tain or restablish their re ligious concepts by the time they approach graduation. The Rev. Stevensen attrib uted the college student's at titude to religion as also hav ing other bases besides re ligious psychological adjust ment. He cited one as inade quacy in pre-college training. The second reaction is against social background and family, another typical psychological reaction of this age group, he said. The pastors mentioned that ning, director of Student Health. He said he knew of very few schools or universi ties with a student group health program. The health councils were founded shortly before the flu epedemic of 1957 and proved their effectiveness in helping to control the "flu bug." Dr. Fuenning explained there are four health councils the IFC, Panhellenic. Co-op Council and the Selleck-Burr Hall Council. Members of the councils are elected within the fraternity, Co-op or sorority house. Counselors from Sei leck and Burr serve as mem bers of the fourth council. The councils meet once a month to discuss health pro grams and problems. Mem bers may arrange for discus sions for their houses on a current health problem or disease. Dr. Fuenning said he felt the council has served to ad vance the program of pre ventive medicine among the students of this campus. KUON Physics Series Debuts Christmas Eve The National Educational Television series "Live and Learn" will make its debut on KUON-TV Dec. 24 at 7:30 p.m. Twelve half-hour programs are the setting for many of the most important topics in physics in this series of dis cussion and demonstrations prepared by Professors Pat terson Hume and Donald Ivey of the University of To ronto. The series is designed as an introduction to this sub ject, or as a re-introduction for people who have studied elementary physics and wish to refresh their memories. Ed Association Will See Film The monthly meeting of the Nebraska Student Education Association will be held Wednesday at 7 n.m. in the Little Auditorium of the Stu dent Union. Students in Teachers Col lege, vocational agriculture or vocational homemaking are invited to attend. A film will be shown and refresh ments will be served. Eggnog Good Here of NU Students the youth of this generation tend to avoid definite commit ments to anything abstract in nature such as religion. They attributed this to the growing insecurity of the world caused by scientific developments and unstable world situations. The Rev. Stevensen said he felt the increase in church attendance throughout the na tions is not an indication of a return to religion in faith. He said he thought the church had lost some of its strength because it had sought social acceptance by all, thereby losing much of its individuali ty. It has become paralleled with our society rather than maintaining its original posi tion of an institution greater than the common man, he said. The Rev. Stevensen con tends the church and religion must change to recover their original birthright, the con viction that the world and life are measured by Jesus Christ. Religion must restate its original conviction in terms of this age in order to recover its rightful place in our lives, he said. Social Institution In contrast, the Rev. Knowles commented that he considered the church to be one of the strong social in stitutions of our land and par ticularly of the University and Lincoln. He said he con sidered it to be more of a challenge to be a Christian in flu (Jpniil"a( inn lii in n.t this generation than in past ones. He said the-horror of atom ic power and the realization of our present mode of life will eventually lead man to the realization that the hu manist answer to worldly sit uations is not sufficient. Peo ple will then, once again, realize the importance of re ligion in their lives. Both pastors agreed that the popular conception that philosophy weakens religion was false. It merely asks many questions which often an individual's faith cannot answer. They contend this stimu lates religious growth by de stroying weak faith and re establishing, with the aid of counseling or religious study, a stronger, more meaningful faith. Prof Offers Fire-Resistant Tree Formula A simple method to make your Christmas tree fire-resistant has been offered by Dr. Carl Potthoff. Dr. Potlhoff. chairman of the department of preventive medicine and public health at the University Medical College in Omaha, suggest ed spraying the three with the following ingredients: Nine ounces of borax and four ounces of boric acid in one gallon of. water.

By Jim Forrest Dr. James E. Miller, head of the English department, said that the only way for a student to study is to study hard! "Tim Qfiir1 tatm f.iiiA nf Lfudv should be left upo the "y - r student. What is good for one student isn't always good for the rest." However, Dr. Miller did say that it is extremely im portant for the student to schedule his time. He suggest ed that students regulate their study time on a daily and weekly basis. Four Points The Counseling Service through their study skills pro gram promote a four-point criteria for studying: 1. Proper use of time 2. Scientific method of text book reading 3. Technique of taking class notes 4. Technique of taking examinations To aid in budgeting this time, the Service advises each student to write out a list of study assignments that he has to prepare. The scientific m e t h o d of text book reading includes taking notes on what you read, going back over the material and reviewing. The most important thing in taking class notes, says the Counseling Service, is not the thoroughness of the notes but that the student review his notes within twenty-four hours of class. In the technique of taking an examination everything depends upon the first three points. J. P. Colbert, dean of Student Affairs, says that in a University worthy of its name the entire responsibility of learning is on the student. Study Aids "The text books and the professors are just aids."

Students know when they have class, so they should be able to set up a certain time to study materials from class "A" and a time for class "B" and class "C". As a professor of engineer ing for many years, Dean Col bert used to advise his stu dents to give full attention to their text and notes. He would say, "A text book is more useful if it is well used and well marked than when it was first purchased. Almost all authors have just certain important points and, if underlined, a student will be able to hit these highlights while studying for an exam.
