Burns Crookston, associ

today and tomorrow to be in

new Dean of Student Affairs.
Crookston and Dr. Charles
Lewis, dean of students, Uni

probably be the only two can

Dean of Student Affairs posi

English Department Devises New
Search Begins for 1 hirty 1 op 'Lmguanauts
The University is looking for 30 top English teachers
in Nebraska who are willing to volunteer as "linguanauts .
As pioneers of a new approach to teaching English
which may mushroom nationally, they will attend an eight
week English Curriculum Institute rom June 11 to Aug. 4.
The selected teachers of elementary and secondary
schools will receive a $500 fellowship, financed by a $27,000
grant from the Woods Charitable Fund, Inc.
The Institute, co-sponsored by the Nebraska Council
of Teachers of English, will have three purposes:
To train teachers in the subject matter in a new ap
proach to English. Much of this new approach is contained
in the Nebraska Curriculum which was designed by sel
ected members of the Nebraska Council in a workshop last
summer.
To give teachers and consultants an extended period
of time in which to prepare courses and specific classroom
units based on the Nebraska Curriculum, which in turn
could be carried directly into the classroom.
To facilitate the training of a hard core of excellent
classroom teachers who can carry information back to the
local schools, train other teachers and act as local con
sultants, speakers and advisors as the new curriculum is
tried out all across the state.
Dr. Paul Olson, associate professor of English at the
University and director of the newly established national
curriculum study center of English, said the new center
will base its work in language and literature on some of
the material which is developed this summer in the In
stitute. In selecting the teachers for the Institute, the following
guidelines will be considered,, Dr. Olson said:
The teachers should have three to five years exper
ience in the field and be five years from retirement; should
intend to make the teaching of English a permanent pro
fession. Teachers should be generally sympathetic with the

Breckenridge, who is chair
man of the committee which
will give its impressions of
the candidates interviewed to
the Chancellor early in April.
The Chancellor will then
make his recommendation to
the Board of Regents, whose
selection will be final.
While on campus last week,
Dean Lewis made these com
ments before the Student
Council and in personal in
tcrvicwsi "I believe In students hav
ity, formed the basis for talk
at the session.
In fulfilling its function as
the student legislative body,
should the Council "reflect"
student opinion or help
"mold" it?
The group reviewed its ad
vances in regular areas such
as the Student Tribunal and
activity regulation, and the
existing liason between stu
dents, faculty, and adminis
tration. But how to develop a pro
gram to increase student
awareness of significant na
tional and international, as
well as local issues occupied
much of the group's time.
Consideration of such a pro
gram also included considera
tion of the NSA question.
One member suggested that
student interests have
"awakened" in the case of
NSA because of controversy
aroused over it, but that they
may "fall asleep" when the
issue is resolved.
The Council should strive,
rather, to develop in stu
dents a more continual inter
est in its overall workings, he
noted.
In discussion on the NSA
motion, another Council
member commented that

Hardin 'No Plans
To Replace Pittenger
There are no plans at the

Pittenger was appointed
ticket manager on a tempor

letic director.
William Fisher was named
business manager of athletics.
Fisher has been serving as
acting . business manager
since the death of A. J. Lew

In the choosing of secondary school teachers, pref
erence wil be given to teachers possessing full majors in
English, excellent academic records and distinguished rec
ords as teachers,
Attention will be paid to securing the widest geo-.
graphic representation possible within the boundaries of the
state.
The Institute will be set up so that teachers will take
three courses each morning and spend the afternoons in
planning and the evenings in study or hearing lectures
and seeing films related to the new curriculum.
The Institute courses will carry full graduate credit
and include: English language linguistics and composition
with emphasis on the findings of modern linguistic study;
basic literary heritage of Western culture, with emphasis
upon the moral values implicit in Western litature, meth
ods of reading it and methods of writilng based on methods
of master writers; and programming subject matter in
two courses, one for elementary and the other for second
ary teachers.
The staff will be composed of Dr. Dudley Bailey, asso-'
ciate professor of English; Dr. Olson; Mary Mielenz,
professor of secondary education; George Hillocks, grad
uate student at Harvard University and Dr. Gene Hardy,
assitant professor of English.
Teachers interested in being considered for the sum
mer Institute should write to Deanna Versaw, University
of Nebraska English department, 224 Andrews. Applica
tions will be received between March 15 and April 15.
Dr. Olson also announced that teachers who wish to
take Institute courses outside of the regular Institute will
be offered a parallel set of courses and given an oppor
tunity to participate in parallel planning activities.

sucked into something they
don't understand.
Springing from the discus
sion was a suggestion by a
Council member that a repre
sentative from NSA be invited
to come to the University to
answer questions from both
Council members and the
general student body as a
question and answer session.
On March 28, the Council
study committee report on
NSA will be made public. The
following night, a public
forum is scheduled, providing
a chance for interest groups
view.
Copies of the report will al
so be made available.
The NSA representative
would then be invited to ap
pear sometime between April
1 and 5.
Noting that the program of
helping' to develop student
awareness is aimed at both
student leadership and at the
student body, Gage said, "we
are one of the first Student
Councils to enunciate the ob
jectives and provide for the
continuity of this program."
This year, "he continued, the
Council has worked through
experimentation and adjust
ment in all its areas and pro
grams to implement its over
all functioning."
Pittenger's duties will in
clude handling tickets for
spring sports, preparing the
ticket sales program for the
coming football season, assist
ing Dye in the development
of special programs, and co
ordinating the Touchdown
Club, the N Club and the
Extra Point Club, said Dye.
Formerly, the business
manager and ticket manager
were one position. However,
as part of the reorganization
of the department the posi
tions were separated, Dye
said.
Pittenger served as secre
tary to former governors
Dwight Griswold and Val
Peterson. He was appointed
secretary of state in 1951 and
served in this office until
1953 when he was named
secretary of the Nebraska
Alumni Association.
In 1956 he became assistant
to Chancellor Hardin and
served in this capacity until
the new appointment. Pitteng
er is a graduate of Albion
High School. In 1941 he
earned a BS degree at the
University.
Fisher, a native of Minne
sota, earned a BS degree
from the University of Illi

1934-'44. He served as a credit
manager and an insurance
