Dean Snyder Comments on Trend
College coed catches col

coming a standard American
joke.
Robert Jameson, whose art

Post was reviewed recently
in the Daily Nebraskan, noted
only' one in three college
freshmen will graduate.

Dean of Women Helen Sny

"biggest dropout factors

day." "There are so many more
early marriages, and the idea
seems to be to let the boy

On Alcohol
Clergy Will Study
Drinking Problem
A two-day institute for the
clergy, centered on "Alco
holism," will be held at the
University College of Medi
cine's Conkling Hall January
7 and 8.
William Ferguson of New
York City, field representa
tive for the National Council
on Alcoholism, will be the fea
tured speaker. His topic will
be "Alcoholism in the U.S.A."
The health secretary of the
Omaha United Community
Services, the chairman of the
Medical College's department
of internal medicine and a
resident at the Nebraska Psy
chiatric Institute will also
speak on the s u b j e ct of
"Alcoholism." Panel discus
sion will follow each topic.
The program will draw pas
tors from parishes throughout
the state and is designed to
acquaint the minister with
theproblem of alcoholism. "It
will disclose that it is more
a moral problem. It is a dis
ease with physical, social,
emotional and financial rami
fications," according to Rev.
Mr. Mover.
"We hope," he added, "to
give the pastors resources for
helping alcoholics who want to
be helped, and we will try to
tie in alcoholism to the whole
concept of pastoral care to
the individual."
The course, open to clergy
from all denominations, is
sponsored by the College of
Medicine in cooperation with
the Nebraska Lutheran Social
Service, the Omaha Council
of Churches and the Archdio
cese of Omaha.

Philosophy of Kellogg Center Given
Construction continues on
the W. K. Kellogg Center for
Continuing Education located
on Ag Campus.
Completion date for the $2.6
million center, for which
ground was broken last July,
is about a year from now.
The Kellogg Foundation re
cently published a brochure
presenting the philosophy and
aims of its center on continu
ing education being built on
key U.S. campuses.
The brochure includes a re
port of the center under con
struction at Ag Campus.

Nebraska in' an intensive

will serve the regional needs

a fraction of a degree forgets
is," said Miss Snyder, the
"real problem she is creating
for herself."
"An educational disparity
can cause a lot of trouble so
cially and job-wise in a mar
riage. Some employers even
interview wives of appli
cants," she said.
She also noted that many
women who marry young and
have their families young will
want to work after their chil
dren are grown. And the
number of widows who must
support families also is in
creasing nationally.
Miss Snyder has collected
figures to prove her point.
24 Million
In 1890, only 4 million wom
en worked, but now approxi
mately 24 million women
combine domestic and profes
sional duties. Fraction-wise,
one-s ixth of all women
worked when grandma was
young and two-f i f t h s are
working now.
Even more startling is that
in 1890, half of the women
never worked at all and now
nine out of 10 will work at
some time or another, said
Dean Snyder.
And the coed who may be
aside should note that na

and to enforce their training

"It is to this prime aim
that the new center is dedi

25 years. In 1890, the working
woman worked only 11 years.

Preparation Needed
Miss Snyder says, "It shows
if she is planning to get mar
ried and not work right aft
erward she still should pre
pare for a profession."
The dean of women also
noted reports from various
graduate schools that the
number of female students is
dwindling.
Yet national figures show
40 per cent of all professional
workers today are women.
So, the opportunity is there.
For example, in 1890 four
fifths of all professional wom
en were teachers. Now only
two-fifths are.
'Need Shown
"It just goes to prove wom
en are branching out,
and need more education,"
the dean said.
Miss Snyder did note that
during the first semester last
year, 12 women living in the
Women's Residence Halls
dropped out. A total of 495
lived there.
She noted that only two
dropped at the end of the first
semester for marriage.
Twelve of the other 25 went
to different schools. Other
reasons were health, work
and financial. One dropped
without reason, she said.

She agreed with Jameson
that manyjtudents may

"This is essential to good

added.

NU Students Attend
Ecumenical Meeting
Forty-four Universty stu
dents returned Sunday from
Ohio University where 3,600
students from 300 American
campuses and 100 other
countries met for a week at
an Ecumenical Conference on
the Christian world mission.
The group represented the
religious houses and YM
YWCA's on campus.
Nine Frontiers
Nine strategic frontiers for
study forums were led by ex
perts in each field. The study
forums and an explanation of
them included:
1. Technological Upheaval
Due to the fantastic de
velopment and extension of
the machine and consequent
growth of cities and vast or
ganizations where men are
treated less than human the
Gospel needs to be spoken in
ii?w ways.
2. Racial Tensions Dr.
Martin Luther King, recog
nized authority on racial ten
sions and author of books on
Southern conditions, told the
group that segregation in any
form is a moral evil which
no Christian can accept.
Great Role
He also said that colored
people have a great role to
play in that they must work
for first class citizenship but
not use second class action
to get it.
3. Militant Non-Christian
Faiths Many millions of
people find that the meaning
and destiny of life in ancient
and modern faiths today
show fresh vigor.
Emphasis was made that
scandalous attitudes and ac
tions should not be allowed
against those apart from the
Gospel.
4. New Nationalisms Peo
ple today forcefully thrust
their way to a new national
identity and integrity. The
question raised was, "Will the
Christian witness be heard by
people within this explosive
situation?"
5. Modern Secularism
Secularism of this age is
seen in the organization of
life around values which re
ject the reality of God. God's
word to materialistic culture
is often stifled by the secular
ism in the church itself.
6. Responsibility for States
manship In a world where
communities stand in precar
ious antagonism, students
wonder "Can a Christian wit-
ness De maae inruugn con
structive statesmanship?
7. The University World
The world's universities are
a crucial battleground for the
loyalties of this generation,
and a training ground ior me
world's leader. "Can the
word of God come alive for
the world's student?" was
the topic of discussion.
8. Displaced, Rejected, Up
rooted Peoples Large num
bers of these which exist in
every country are a direct
challenge to the world and
the Church: The question, dis
cussed by those who come
from the areas and others
completely unaware of the
situation, was, "What can be
done?"

Foreign Problems
Firesides in the evenings
brought representatives from
different countries together
to discuss problems which
ranged from labor and poli

church.

problems in many parts of
the world ranging from in
