The Student Council Better

year:
The projects are cited as:
Working in cooperation
with the faculty to set up a
program of informal bi-week

Completion of the paving
in the Selleck lot with an in

if necessary to prevent addi
tional installation of parking
meters.
A compilation of student
opinion on the effectiveness of
faculty scholastic advisers.
An extended study of the
problems inherent in the col
lege representation system of
the Council. This study would
propose either a change in the
system or means to improve
communication between the
students and their represent
atives. Establishment of a student
organization to promote rep
utation teams of students to
the high schools of the state.
These teams would promote
the University and seek to
recommend it to the high
school students as the insti
tution which they should at
tend. Formulation of a plan
designed to stimulate student
interest in legislative activi
ties during the next session of
the Unicameral.
Sponsoring a minimum of

attendance at these convoca

The Nebraska Council of Teachers of English is taking
the lead nationally in planning an English curriculum for
all levels, from kindergarten through the first two years of
college.
Instrumental in the formulation of the curriculum will be
members of the State Department of Education, the state's
institutions of higher education and the elementary and
secondary schools across the state.
Emphasizing that the curriculum will only be a suggested
system, the Council appointed a State Committee, headed
by Dr. Paul Olson, assistant professor of English at the
University.
Regional subcommittees will be appointed to collect
from all parts of the state opinions and information pertain
ing to the preparation of a curriculum study, according to
Dr. Olson.
Evaluation
These reports will be sent to a spueial subcommittee in
Lincoln where the information will be evaluated and the
reports prepared.
According to Dr. Olson, the College Entrance Board
has demonstrated an interest in the program and has indi
cated that it hoped that the Nebraska study would become
a national model.
Dr. Olson said the problems now existing in English
instruction, in his opinion, stem f ram curricular difficulties.
He said that nationally English teachers have "failed
budget appropriation covers

donations usually carry no
provision for overhead.
Hardin outlined, to the
budget committee, the step-by-step
process which the
University goes through to
make up the budget.
He said two types of eval
uations are made. The first
is a continuous evaluation
of student needs and enroll
ment within each college.
The second occurs when
there is a vacancy in any
department. At this time
the dean of the college is
asked to give a report on
progress, teaching loads
and problems.

members agreed.

that it had been for sev

Director of University Li

this area of need as "sec

Plans Study
to communicate to our students the sense that the language
is not our private possession but the language of our col
lective communty. We have failed to get students to underr
stand what the language is, and we have insisted upon im
posing upon them artificial notions of what constitutes
grammatical nicety.
Language Study
In mapping out its curricular program, the Council
agreed that the study of English should be defined as the
study of language and literature with accompanying work
in composition directed at those two areas.
It was also agreed by Council members that composi
tion in the English courses should be directed toward the
legitimate subject matter of English.
Among the items to be included in the final Teport of
that State Committee, as directed by members of the Coun
cil, will be:
(1) a statement of reasons for the proposals for each
school level,
iZ) a statement of the skill or competence needed at
each level so that the student can prosper at the next level.
(3) suggested materials and programs for students who
are able to profit from more difficult or more extensive
work than that proposed for each level,
(4) a student of criteria used by the committee in se
lecting texts and other materials for each level,
(5) a highly selective bibliography of very moderate
length suggesting ancillary materials to the teacher.

picture in the budget build

the Board of Regents.
Hardin said value judge
ments could be shared if an
interim budget committee
would meet with faculty
members of some of the
University's larger units
during the early stages of
budget preparation.
It was also agreed that
the fiscal analyst which the
budget committee has pro
posed employing for the

an important link between

system.

We feel the opportunity af
forded by having a Peace
Corps training center at the
University of Nebraska would
be of tremendous value to the
entire state. The youth of the
state, and the University of
braska students in particular
would benefit greatly from
the educational and prestige
values of this endeavor.
We would suggest a thor
ough investigation as to the
actual value of certain group
requirements in the various
colleges. Perhaps more gen
eral courses in non-major
fields could be substituted for
present specific courses which
do not provide a well rounded
background of the subject.
Transportation between ag
and city campus can and
I should be greatly improved.
Faculty evaluation by the
students would be a great
help in improving the aca
demic level of our University.
Finally, we are in firm be
lief that in order to improve
communications between the
Student Council and the stu
dent body, that the commit
tee structure of the Council
should be changed to allow
non-council members on com
mittees. This would allow approxi
mately 100 interested non
council members to take part
in the Student Council com
pared to the present 30 coun
cil members on these com
mittees. This would be a big step
toward improving communi
cations between the Council
