The first down slips of
the school year will be in
the hands of students do
ing unsatisfactory work in
their school courses.
All i3 not lost, however,
according to Dean Lee
Chatfield, director of Junior
Division.
Freshmen Students
"Although others will get
down slips, they are direct
ed mainly toward freshmen
students. In other words,
anyone attending the Uni
versity can get a down
lip," Chatfield explained.
The main purpose of the
slips is to "help to make
the students aware of their
situations in class," he said.
"I am always surprised
to meet with students who
are not aware that they are
doing poor work. This is
what we are trying to elim
inate," he added.
Chatfield said a common
misconception among stu
dents who get down slips is
that they fail to realize they
are doing something wrong.

Some 800 students will
pack their bags and start
for Boulder Friday for the
"once a year game."

Program Climax of
Inter-Sorority Week
The three- music sororities
will present a joint concert
Thursday at 7:30 p.m. cli
maxing Inter-Sorority Week.
Forty-five members of Mu
Phi Epsilon, Sigma Alpha
Iota and Delta Omicron will
participate in the vocal and
instrumental program. The
public is invited to attend
this annual concert which
will be presented in the Union
Ballroom.
The Inter-sorority chorus
will sing three numbers di
rected by Susan Stohs, presi
dent of Delta Omicron, and
accompanied by Jean Sander.
"This is the only oppor
lunity for residents of Lincoln
to hear girls' glee music on
the college level, empha
sized Ann Olson, president of
Mu Phi Epsilon.
The chorus will sing "Ye
Fields of Light, Celestial
Plains" by Franck and "We
Hasten with Eager but Falter
ing Footsteps" by Bach.
Woodwind Quintet
"Deux Pieces Beves" by
Ibert will be played by a
woodwind quintet including
Miss Olson, flute; Jo Ann
Otrodosky, o-boe; Kaye
Chamberlain, clarinet; Mari
on Miller, bassoon; and Gail
Galloway, French horn.
Pamela Fields will then
conduct the chorus in "Songs

selections are "Over Hill,
Over Dale," "Fairy Lullaby,
"The Woosel Cock" and "Up

Sue Worley will conduct the
chorus in "The Harp Wea

baritone Lou Lawson. Kay
Green, president of Sigma
Alpha Iota, will direct the
final number. -
Good Concert
It promises to be a ter
rific concert," said Miss 01;
son. "It's unusual to have a
program with so many girls
of such high ' ability," she
added.
A chili supper will be spon
sored tomorrow night by the
three music sororities for all
freshmen and upperclassmen
majoring or minoring in
music and unaffiliated with
a music sorority. This will

Lutheran Student House.
between a "passing and an
acceptable grade."
"A student might be do
ing passing work and get
ting credit) but he may
not be doing acceptable
work," the director said. He
' explained that the different
colleges require higher min
imum grades for gradua
tion than the acceptable
grade which does not make
the student eligible for a
down slip.
"For example, students
must maintain a four in
their major in Afts and Sci
ences and students in Teach
er's College must have a 5
overall and 5.5 average in
their field of specializa
tion," Chatfield noted.
Another purpose of the
down slip, according to
Chatfield, is to raise the
academic standards "all
along the line without drop
ping students out of class,
It would be impossible to
make grades so hard to at
tain that ' half the class
would drop out," he added.
Most instructors try to set
a fair level of achievement
for the students, Chatfield
pointed out. For this reason

In 1958, a Nebraska migra
tion to Boulder resulted in a
27-16 loss. On a similar mis
sion in '56, the Buffs took a

utner migrations were
even less successful. In 1955
the Student Council couldn't
decide whether to endorse
migration to Missouri or Col

Larger Attendance
Arguing in favor of a Mis

that Coach (Bill) Glassford
would like student support at
both games, but he would
prefer a larger attendance
at Missouri.
The trip to Columbia was
turned down, however, as the

Communication, Not Grammar,

Foreign
A new "foreign" language
English is being taught at
the University this year.
Some 49 students from
Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Col
ombia, Argentina, Ven
ezuela, Chile, Panama, Iran,
Iraq, China, Turkey, India,
Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt,
Korea, Thailand, Japan, Is
rael and Libya are learning
"English as a foreign lan-
fguage . under the guidance
of instructor, 0 1 g a Step
anelc. The new program differs
from that of past years - in
that major emphasis is being
placed on oral communica
tion rather than tradition
al grammar, Miss Stepanek
pointed out.
This' is done by repeating
structural patterns and
phrases until they become
familiar. A certain amount
of analysis is retained but
the ability to communicate
and understand is stressed
the ' most," she said.
Problem
Miss v Stepanek explained
that by this approach Eng
lish is taught as a foreign

Chatfield said.
"The instructors are more
than willing to go half way
in most cases but they can't
do it alone. The student has
to 1 give them a starting
point."
; Copies of the down slip go
out not only to the students,
but, to the parents (unless
(the student is married or
' over 21 if the University has
this information), to the liv
ing unit of the student and
his advisor.

are planned for next year, but
we would be happy to do so,
if interest develops in terms
of utilization by other c o 1
leges, Dean Miller said.
Policy
"Our program policy,"
Dean Miller continued, "is
first to bring in many suc

Secondly, we endeavor to
bring in speakers who repre

Teaches
Language - English
language. In many previous
instances, foreign students
were simply placed in fresh
man English. This was not
the answer to their problem,
she said.
Miss- Stepanek said she
feels the new skills learned
from such an approach are
especially .important in. a
campus situation where
many of the courses are lec
ture sections.
"The students must be able
to understand English when
it is spoken at a normal rate
of speed or they will miss
much of the subject," she
explained.
Individual nationali
ties pose specific pronuncia
tion problems, but the big
gest problem of all is learn
ing each particular difficulty
represented, Miss Stepanek
observed.
Vowels
For example, Spanish has
five vowel sounds compared
to 11 in English, thus mak
ing it difficult for these stu
dents to .tell the difference
between such words as sheep
and ship.

is doing and it is our obli

they are entitled to this in
formation," Chatfield said.
Measures may be taken
at the student's residence
to improve his study habits
and bring about better
grades.
Students should also see
their advisors, Chatfield
said. Many times it is the
chance that the student
and the advisor may be able
to remedy the situation or

"This is very important,"
Dean Miller said, "for it per
mits the students to see that
there are great opportunities
for business success in the
state of Nebraska."
"We rotate the careers
which are the basis for topics
each year in order that a
student, over a period of
years, may be able to hear
of almost any career in which
he may be interested," ex

Animal Husbandry
Subjects Dropped
Fewer courses in practical
procedures and more empha
sis on basic science and back
ground courses are beinu
stressed by the Animal Hus
bandry department on the Ag
campus.
This emphasis led to the
changing of parts of the cur
riculum according to Lavon
SumDtion. assistant nrofpssor
of animal husbandry.
Sumption said the oractieal
procedure courses were de
creased because they are best
learned on the farm or ranch
and that background courses
would provide for effective
judgment making.
Two courses have been
droDDed as a result of the
change, Sumption said. They
are A. n. 195 which was ani
mal husbandry practices and
A. H. 212, advanced produc
tion.
A. II. 113, a course of back
ground in animal production
systems and problems, has
been added for non-majors
only.
Three production courses,
A. H. 214, 215 and 216, have
been raised from the 100 to
the 200 level and prerequisites
added. Sumption said that
greater flexibility has been
provided for majors by mak

The revamped curriculum
is also putting emphasis on
