University Approves 'Prep
By Ann Meyer
The University has approved a plan for
an experimental "prep" summer school for
boys who will graduate from high school in
June.
The program devised by a University jun
ior, Bob Smith, received the final approval
of Administration two weeks ago. Smith felt
that such a program might help alleviate
some of the problems students encounter
adjusting to the first year of college.
He said he felt that "getting off to a bad
start was often the cause of low grades and
the failure of some capable students. Many
first year students have difficulty coordinat
ing study time, social life and group living;
the advance program may help them to ad
just more easily."
High school senior men interested in the
program must apply to the University for
enrollment in the summer session. They
will register for a schedule of courses rec
ommended by the University and will at
tend regular classes along with other sum
mer school students.
The male students will receive credit and
grades in the courses just as any other stu
dent and the final grades will be recorded

Schultz, professor of geology
and director of the Morrill
Hall state museum, and
Charles Patterson, professor

received the nomination for
the "outstanding" student
award.
Dr. Schultz's recommenda
tion contained the signatures
of 63 of the members of Theta
XI fraternity. The letter of
nomination cited Schultz as
"one . of the few men who
have furthered the develop
ment of the University with
little regard for self-recognition
and gain."
The letter pointed out that
first and foremost Dr. Schultz
was a teacher, a professor of
geology specializing in the
study of vertebrate paleontol
ogy, the study of prehistoric
fossil animals. He also serves
as an adviser to several grad
uate students engaged in mas
ters and doctoral research.
Paleontology
The letter noted that Dr.
Schultz had for 25 years occu
pied himself with research hi
the field of vertebrate pale
ontology, specializing in a
family of prehistoric animal
similar to the modern day
mountain sheep. Dr. Schultz
and Charles Falkenbach, of
the American Museum of Nat
ural History located in New
York City, are the first to con
centrate on an entire family

receive its distinguished serv
ice award.
Devotion
"Above all," the letter said,

colleagues and students. His
devotion to his state and its
University and to his col
leagues and students serve to
explain the position of respect
