Lay Committee Discusses
Requirement Hike
For Grad School?
Several members of the lay committee on education, ap
pointed by the state legislature, are reported to be in favor
of a move to stiffen graduate entrance requirements.
The committee has been working closely with California
educator, Dr. Lyman A. Glenny, to develop recommendations
for improvement of higher education in Nebraska.
Lay members who favor the
proposal feel it would "make
undergraduate study more
meaningful in addition to do
ing a more thorough job of
eliminating incompetent stu
dents."
Harold E. Wise, Associate
Dean of the Graduate Col
lege, said he feels entrance
requirements here are "com
parable" to those in other in
stitutions of similar quality.
Wise was referring to the
41 members of the Associa
tion of Graduate Schools of
which the University Gradu
ate College is a member.
At present, candidates for
graduate work are required
to hold a Bachelor of Arts
degree from an accreditated
institution, to maintain a 6
average In all 200 level
courses for graduate work and
a 4 in all 300 level courses.
Officials in the graduate of
fice said "no specific grade
average" is required for un
dergraduate work, but that
candidates" usually must
have about a f average."

Judge Carter
To Speak
To 4-H Club
The University 4-H Club's
drive for citizenship develop
ment will get a boost tomor
row night with the naturali
zation process being explained
by Judge E. F. Carter of the
Nebraska Supreme Court.
Besides explaining the pro
cess, Judge Carter will ask
some questions, typical of
those used in naturalization
tests, to Mrs. Gerda T r e i
who is a Lincoln resident
awaiting naturalization in
February.
Rich Bringelson, who at
tended the citizenship confer
ence in Washington, D.C., is
responsible for setting np the
ceremony. He said similar
ceremonies at the Washington
Monument impressed him and
that be wanted the club to
become acquainted with the
process also. One of the stipu
lations of his trip was to
come back and promote citi
zenship. The ceremony will not be
official as such a process
must be carried on by a Dis
trict Judge rather than a Su
preme Court Judge.
Some of the questions that
will be asked of Mrs. Trel
will concern the history, con
stitution, preamble and
amendments of the United

States' from Germany six
years ago.
It was through the efforts
of Judge Carter that the Treis
came to the United States.
They became eligible for na
uralization last fall but a
mixup of dates made them
wait until February.
This ceremony will be an
addition to several skits pre
sented throughout the year by
the 4-H Club.
These skits have been taken
from J. Edgar Hoover's
"Master of Deceit."
The 4-H Club will also hold
election of officers and instal
lation ceremonies tomorrow
night. The installation cere:
mony will be an original idea
of Sherry Knapp, the present

such as history and political
science do not.
