Graduate Study
Mortar Boards '
i
Sponsor Seminar
The Mortar Boards are introducing a new
program next week which is designed to ac
quaint junior and senior students with the op
portunities available in the graduate fields.
The group will sponsor a seminar Nov. 16
at 7 p.m. on graduate opportunities for all in
terested junior and senior undergraduate stu
dents.
The idea for the seminar
was the result of the expan
sion of an idea brought back
from the National Mortar
Board meeting held in Oklaho
ma this summer, according
to president Nancy Teder
man. She explained that many
of the chapter representatives
from other college and uni
versities reported that they
sponsored similar, programs
which proved quite success
ful. The local Mortar Board
chapter felt that such a pro
ject would serve a definite
purpose on this campus. Mem
bens of the group pointed out
that often college graduates
indicate an interest in grad
uate work but fail to carry
out their plans as they are
not aware of the opportun
ities offered to most graduate
students were not familiar
fellowships and assistantships.
It was also felt that many
studens were not familar
with the qualifications for
graduate school enrollment.
The seminar will consist of
a general session which will
apply to all interested stu
dents and individual discus
sion groups for the individu
al colleges of agriculture, en
gineering, arts and science,
teachers and business admin
istration. Dean Wise, who is in
charge of admissions for the
Graduate College, will lead
a general discussion on fel
lowships, assistantships, and
scholarships. There will also
be a summary of the qualifi
cations and opportunities for
graduate study in various
areas. Emphasis will be
placed on the value and re
sults of graduate study.
Following the group meet
ing, the groups will break up
according to colleges for dis
cussion on graduate study
and possibilities in specialized
areas. Dean Hobson will rep
resent the College of Engi
neering; Dr. Melrhenry,
teachers college; Dean Frol
ick, the College of Agricul
ture; and Dean W. F. Wright,
the College of Arts and Sci
ences. Dean Miller will rep
resent the College of Busi
ness Administration.

Students
Commended
Submit Plans For
Roosevelt Memorial
Students and staff members
of the University of Nebraska
department of agriculture
have received national atten
tion for -their ideas and con
cepts of a planned memorial
for the late Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.
Patrick Horsbrugh, profes
sor of architecture and the
major contributor of the staff
members' plan, submitted an
idea for a land scheme, essen
tially a park with a number
of dells and the use of water
falls and fountains to symbol
ize the four freedoms.
Professor Horsbrugh would
have the 27-acre park-like
area a place for children to
play and one that could be
seen from automobiles that
would be allowed access.
The students," Robert Hanna
and Robert Douglas, submit
ted a plan for a huge, mono
lithic tower formed by five
marble sheathed slabs. The
students, ' envision their idea
as more of a shrine setting
on a promontory with some
thing of a cathedral-like atmo
sphere.
Among the professors mak
ing up the Nebraska faculty
group, are Horsbrugh, Linus
Burr Smith, Dale Gibbs, and
Ronald Simms. The students'
work was under the direction
of Professor Gibbs.
Counseling Service
To Heln Students Who Really
By Sue Houik
"Helping students with problems who WANT help
is the major function of the University Counseling Serv
ice," said Dr. Johanathan Warren, counseling psycholo
gist. Dr. Warren stressed the fact that the service does
not accept those who have come for counseling due to
pressure from faculty membersi parents, or other out
side sources. They help only the students who come in
for help voluntarily.
He said that there it no basis by which one can
say that a person needs the help of the counseling serv
ice because this differs with each individual.
In the actual counseling of students, the counselors
try to help the students make their own decisions, de
velop their own. ideas, and sharpen their own feelings.
"A dominant part of the counseling is helping students
to funtion more effectively while at the University," said
Dr. Warren.
Wide Range
To explain the wide range of situations where stu
dents could use help, Dr. Warren cited two examples on
either end of the spectrum.
Some students don't know what field to major in or
what courses to take and come to the Counseling Serv
ice for help. The Service gives them tests and helps
them with these decisions.
At the opposite end is the student who has difficulties
due to severe personal problems and has difficulty func
tioning at the University. The Counseling Service will
also try to help this type of individual.
In between these two examples are students who have
questions about themselves: what kind of person they
are, what others think of tLem, what should they try
to be, what do they want to be,. and why are they doing
what 'they are.
Quicker Help
Dr. Warren added that there is hardly anyone on
this campus who couldn't get help from the Counseling
Service if he wanted it. Some of the, students who solve
their own problems and make their own decisions could
possibly get better and quicker help from the Counseling
Service. -
If a high school senior doesn't know what he wants
to do or why he is coming to college except for the rea
son that it's the thing to do, the Counseling Service will
s him for a small fee.
To help the service in its work, the counselors have
several extra features which, they use. One is the use
of tests to help determine the interests and capabilities
of the student. Contrary to popular opinion, this is not
the major function of the service.

counselors have at their disposal an extensive file of
pamphelets which describe a wide variety of occupations.
Dr. Warren said that many times students will find an
occupation that they would like to enter but had never
heard of before.
Additional Function
An additional function of the service, is the study
skills and reading improvement courses which are non
credit. The study skills courses start at the beginning
of the semester and last four weeks. After that the read
ing improvement course runs for an additional six weeks.
Dr. Warren said that many students have miscon
ceptions about the service but they are hard to clear up
because none of them are entirely inaccurate except for
one. This misconception is the one which says that the

AAUP Will Champion
Academic Freedom Area
By Nancy Whitford
The academic freedom of
students is a new area being
championed by the American
Association of University Pro
fessors (AAUP), Dr. Robert
Van Waes, staff associate of
the Washington AAUP office,
told University faculty mem
bers at a symposium ' Tues
day. "An example might be the
student editor who was un
der pressure from' the admin
istration or from outside in
fluences," Van Waes said.
He said the AAUP seeks to
defend the rights of faculty
members by reviewing regu
lations, offering advice,
sending consultants from the
state or federal AAUP office,
by participating in legal con
tests and by censuring col
leges which do not meet
AAUP standards in specific
instances.
"Public and moral indigna
tion is our chief weapon,"
Van Waes said.
Research
The balance between col
lege research, teaching and
public service has several
solutions according to Carl
Georgi, chairman of the de
partment of microbiology,
who also spoke to the group.
"There is the temptation
for younger professors to di
rect major efforts toward re
search because it 'pays off "
Georgi said.
He said teaching standards
can be improved and reward
ed by giving more awards for
"excellent teaching."
He said the idea that a pro
fessor must "publish or per
ish" is commonly accepted,
but that this does not neces
sarily mean that everything
which is published indicates
superior effort.
Study Skills
WANT Help
students are sent there by faculty or administration
members. This is not true because the service doesn't
see anyone who has to come.
In order to clear up another misconception, Dr. War
ren explained the use of records. Nothing that goes on
in the Counseling Service becomes a part of University
official records. Records are kept of course, but they
stay in the service's office said Dr. Warren. The rec
ords are not available to others indiscriminately. He said
that academic or administrative deans could not see the
records unless the student gave his permission.
Dr. Warren said that a lack of knowledge about the
University Counseling Service is due to the misconceptions
on campus and the changes recently made in the de
partment. He added that faculty misconception parallels
students misconception.
Hesitate
Some students hesitate to come to the service be
cause they feel that they should be able to solve their
own problems now that they're students in college. Dr.
Warren said that some of them could probably use the
counseling help. .
Dr. Warren emphasized the fact that students can just
phone in for an appointment or come into the office lo
cated in Room 108, Administration building.
There is no charge for the services rendered by the
counselors. The Couseling Service is nominally a part of
the Division of Student Affairs and is financed by the
operative budget of the University, said Dr. Warren.
. Dr. Warren said that they usually reach a peak of
40 students a week in October and it stays at about
that point. During the school year, 200-250 students come
to the Counseling Service. The individual student comes
anywhere from one to thirty times.
Number Increasing
The number of counselees is increasing and Dr. War
ren believes that this is due to students hearing about
the Counseling Service as it really is. ,
Freshmen and sophomores seem to use it more than
other classifications, reported Dr. Warren. But this doesn't
necessarily have to be and counseling is not aimed at
these groups. In some ways, juniors and seniors can use
the service to better advantage. He explained that when
freshmen come they are comfortable and sure of them
' selves, but when they are seniors they aren't as sure
of themso'ves.
The Uiiiversity Counseling Service has nothu.- to do
with academic advising or dorm counselors. They are
both different organizations.
The Service consists of three full-time counselors, sev
eral part-time counselors, and a secretary. The three
- full-time counselors are Dr. Clayton Gerken, director;
Dr. Harry Canon, general counselor, and Dr. Warren.

tests of the Foreign Service

history with minors in politi
cal science and German.
"There should be more em
phasis on creative effort by
emphasizing quality rather
than quantity of research
published," Georgi suggested.
In regard to service, the
University professor must
abandon the ivory tower tra
dition and recognize that the
campus is not the final bound
ary for service. He should
accept Invitations to speak to
club groups, attend exhibits,
help with counseling and par
ticipate in special adult pro-,
grams, Georgi said.
"The professor should not
be divorced from public serv
ice, but neither should he be
burdened by it," Georgi con
cluded. The professor as a citizen
must recognize that his citi
zenship includes both duties
and obligations according to
David Dow, Dean of the Law
College, who was the third
speaker on the panel.
He said University profes
sors are prohibited by a by
law of the Board of Regents
from exercising one right of
citizenship: running for office
for such posts as the Legis
lature. "As a citizen the professor
has the right to run for of
fice, but it is also his job
as a citizen to do the job he
was hired to do. In this case
the right to run for another
office becomes secondary to
the obligation to teach,"
Georgi said.
What obligation does each
professor have?
Georgi said the professor
has an obligation as a spe
cialist to inform others and
as an individual to help break
down the idea that professors
are a class and that one
member speaks for alL
