Summer Nebraskani
Depth Approach
. Last year the Summer Nebraskan fiieTffHsiKttatjon I
in the concept of college summer session newspapers. Tr
auempiea a depth approach to news coverage designed
to provide material for relaxing, reading and thinking.
The eight weekly issues produced last summer were
well received not only on the University of Nebraska cam
pus, but throughout the country. This year's saff will again
. attempt to produce a newspaper that will stimulate the
! thinking of an adult audience. .
Our attempt at depth reporting will not be stuffy. It
will be, rather, good, solid reporting of the whys and where-
fores of the news. We hope you enjoy your Summer Ne
braskans, and we welcome your comments and criticisms.
The staff invites your suggestions for attention to news
areas that might be overlooked.
The staff of this year's Summer Nebraskan includes
two fulltime employees, both serving an intership require
ment for a professional certificate in Journalism. Miss
Gretchen Shellberg, senior, is responsible for the news pages
as editor. Miss Pam Holloway, junior, is business manager,
handling advertising and circulation. " .
' Neale Copple, faculty member of "the University's
School of Journalism is the advisor for the Summer Nebraskan.
KFMQ Plans
Broadcast of
Budget Talks
FM radio station KFMQ
will broadcast budget proceed
ings live from the Nebraska
Unicameral session at the
state capital beginning to

The University's budget is
expected to be the first topic
for discussion on Wednesday.
State senators will be in
terviewed1 during the pro
gram, according to Herbert
Burton, general manager of
KFMQ.
The station originally in
tended to broadcast only the
proceedings on the Univer
sity's budget, however they
now anticipate that broad
casting may continue to in
clude other budget debates
'of interest to the public."
According to Burton, al
though the normal "sign on"
time for KFMQ is not until
1 p.m. during the summer
months, the station will sign
on at 9 a.m. during the de
bates because they "feel that
the discussion surrounding
budget is so important to the
the University of Nebraska's
budget is so important to the
state of Nebraska."

they'll follow and want to "ex

he said.
He added that today the!
need is so great for educated
men and women that it is
"almost a sin to have out
moded concepts of education
home during the summer do
ing nothing."
In addition to regular Uni
versity and high school stu
dents, many graduate stu
dents, teachers and school sup
erintendents will be there
working on graduate, ad
vanced certificates or ad
vanced professional certifi
cates, Sorenson said.
This number is also increas
ing all the time, he added. In
1960 there were 688 registered
in advanced professional
courses and 781 in graduate
work.
In welcoming students to
the 1961 Summer Sessions,
Chancellor Clifford M. Har
din remarked that "each year
summer Session seems to
grow somewhat larger in en
rollment and also to strengh
en in purpose and education
al content."
"Among the student body,"
he said, "are returning teach
ers who are seeking more
education, the recent gradu
ated high school senior who
is entering college for the first
time and then the college stu
dent who is attempting to
speed up his education by go
ing year around."
'Common Enterprise'
The Chancellor emphasized
that "No matter what the pur
pose, the university is a com
mon enterprise of the stu
dents, the faculty and profes
sional staff." We are here to
serve you, he said, and we
know you are here to further
your education."
Dr. Frank E. Sorenson, di
rector of Summer Sessions,
also stressed the opportunities
offered by the University this
summer and said he hopea
students used these education-
i al facilities to further their
interests.
Facilities
Dr. Sorenson urged summer
students, particularly recent
high school graduates and
those attending the University
for the first time, to "use the
counseling service, get ac
quainted with the campus, get
used to University teaching
methods, and to explore the
library so that by fall they
feel at home with the re
sources." In addition. Dr. Sorenson
urged students to take ad
vantage of the city of Lin
coln's facilities too. He said
these include the state capi-
tol building, the state histor-J

said. He cited teachers work

and degrees as a good ex
ample of this.
Chancellor Hardin also ex
pressed his wishes for a suc
cessful Summer Session say
ing, "I hope that you mix the
hard work of your studies with
the enjoyment and relaxation
of recreation. May your sum
mer prove to be a profitable
one."

Also for the first time the
University encouraged high

sessions, said.
Although the first sammer

Today the, important session
is the eight week session. It
is designed for students who
want to either rush the gradu

behind and desire to make up
their work.
Sessions
Sorenson said that eight
weeks is just about half of a
regular semester, so by at
tending every day of the week
a regular semester's work
can be achieved.
The six week session is to
accommodate those that can
not or do cot like to take a

The four week session is
usually at the Ag campus and
is designed to accommodate
such persons as county agents
and extension workers.

The three week or "post

those teachers who get out of

"The post-sessions are tak
