Youths Further Education at
Institute
Thursday, March 15, 1952
Midwest
By ANDA ANDERSON
, It's almost like going to
college classes, instruc
tors, books, studying, dor
mitory life, tests and ac
tivities. But it's different:
there are no grades, no
diplomv as a goal.
It's the Midwest Institute
for Young Adults (MIYA)
in session now at the Ne
braska Center. .
What is It? ,
"In a nutshell, MIYA is
an eight-week educational
experience for young men
and women whose present
plans do not include college
attendance, but who desire
further training for self
Improvement," explained
Dr. Otto G. Hoiberg, head
of the Hall of Youth.
The atmosphere and pres
sures are a little different,
too. It's all up to the in
dividual. "You get out of the
courses just what you put
into them," one student
said.
"You get exactly what
you want," another added.
These opinions are shared
by the 26 high school grad
uates enrolled in the win
ter term of MIYA.'
This term there are 17
courses offered. They are
of two types, according to
Hoiberg. "Learn to earn"
and learn to live" courses.
The students chose what
particular classes they
want to take.
"The learn to earn
courses are job related and
consume about 80 per cent
of the students' time. Half
of these are in the field of
agriculture, the other half
in business," he explained.
"We try to offer an edu
cation to both city and ru
ral young men and wom
en. The courses are de
signed to prepare them for
living and were selected
with one thought in mind:
'What would give the stu
dents the greatest benefit
Fallout Plan Designates
41 Buildings as Shelters
Fortyme buildings on the
University. . campuses have
been, designated as tentative
fallout shelters in the event
of an emergency. The survey ,
was-conducted in cooperation
with the U,S. Department of
Defense.
Carl Donaldson, business
manager, said he expects the
appointment of a faculty fall
out program committee by
Chancellor Hardin in the near
future.
It is expected that the
buildings on the tentative list
will be checked to determine
the areas that are fully suita- f
ble.
The next step would be the
stockhig of the areas with
minimum essential survival
provisions.
The tentative list of suita

keeping in mind, that they
are already in or are plan
ning to go into farming,
ranching, business or in
dustry," Hoiberg added.
"Courses such as farm
records and management,
dairy husbandry, field
crops, insect control are
beneficial because the stu
dents can go out and use
them immediately."
the "learn to live"
courses are designed to
broaden the students' scope
culturally, he added. ,
Among these are consumer
problems, home beautifica
tion, recreational leader
ship, public speaking, mu
sic, and reading for enjoy
ment. Public speaking is one of
the most popular. Twelve
students are enrolled in it.
Music is required for every
one. An evening class, rec
reational leadership, is an
other favorite.
"It gives us a chance to
learn how to organize and
make group activities and
make them a success," a
youth explained.
"I get a big kick out of
public . speaking," Walter
Peart of Australia added.
"We have obtained an in
sight in speech presenta
tion and learned how to act
before an audience," sup
plemented Lester Schaper
of Hay Springs. "Even
though we have no inten
tions of being public speak
ers, we'll always be able
to use the information
we've learned even at
home."
The largest enrollment is
19 students. Two of the
classes farm records and
management and insects
affecting animals and crops
boast of this.'
This is the first year such
a short course has been of
fered in Nebraska, Dr. Hoi
berg added.
"We are feeling our way
this year."

Thirty-three University co
eds were initiated into Tassels
last night.
The initiates are: Sandy
Ahlman, Diane Armour, Jo

Julie Berner, Judy Birney,
Gretchen Bottom, Gail Buc

Mary Alice Crabill.
Patty Edmiston, Sue Elliot,
Kathie Farner, Connie Hag

Merna McKinney, Nadine
Newton, Judy Pearce, Susie

en Schroeder, Billie Spies,
Cindy Tinan, Mary Ann Vol
berding, Kathy Vollmer and
Bonnie Wahl.
Judy Polenz, the Outstand
ing Active, and Joana
Baugher, the Outstanding
Pldege, were presented at the
initiation banquet.
The courses are organ
ized as not to overlap, he
continued. "In fact, one
boy, Charles Smith from
Lincoln, took the first one
in the fall, and is enrolled
again this term."
The idea, although new
here, has been tried out in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and
Michigan according to Dr.
Hoiberg. These short
courses,' however, are
largely agricultural," he
said. "Ours is unique in
that we offer business-related
courses along with
the agricultural ones."
MIYA is popular with
the students because it's
concentrated, interesting,
beneficial and practical.

"We're learning and
we're having fun," they
agree.
"I tried college," said
Roger Ebbers of De
Witt "but it wasn't for me.
I spent so much time tak
ing courses which I didn't
feel I needed and tvhkJ I
would never use in farm
ing. Here I can take what
I like and need, without
worrying about require
ments." "It comes at a conveni
ent time," added Schaper.
"The term comes just be
tween harvesting and plant
ing time, and it's much eas
ier to get away from the
farm and come down for
school."

One of the greatest ad

there. A few classes are

Pace Will Attend
Cancer Meeting
Dr. Donald Pace, chairman
of the physiology department
will attend the eighth annual
International Cancer Re
search Conference in Moscow
during July.
In addition to providing an
opportunity for scientists to
gather and share information,
the conference will strength
en relations between Russia
and the West, explained Dr.
Pace.
"There is certainly a prac
tical aspect in such meetings
as these," he continued. "A
great deal of duplication will
be avoided, along with pool
ing our findings to save valu
able time in the fight against
cancer," he said.
When asked about the po
litical interests involved in
such a conference, Dr. Pace
replied that national ties will
remain in the background,
and that all the delegates
are interested primarily in
the progress of cancer re
search which would benefit
every one, regardless of the
colors under which he lived.

The method of teaching is
mostly of a workship kind,
with less lectures than an
average University class.
Students are in class ap
proximately 25 hours a
week.
Although there are no
grades as such, the stu
dents' work is evaluated.
A certificate of their ac
complishment is presented
at the end. These courses
do not have college credit,
Hoiberg explained.
In addition to regular
class instruction, guidance
and couuclllng are offered.
Currently, University coun
selors are meeting with the
boys Individually to discuss
aptitude and interest test
results with them.
Convocations are extras
the students enjoy. They
have been having foreign
students attending the Uni
versity come down and talk
about their countries, add

The young people come
from varied backgrounds.

"This term we have no
girls enrolled," Hoiberg
added. "But last fall there
were three girls taking the
course."
Interest in MIYA
stemmed from county
agents, high schools, local
newspapers and other pub
lications. Cost of the session is
$250, most of which goes
for room and board, ac
cording to Hoiberg. Schol
arships are available
through the Woods Chari
table Fund. Inc.
"We're trying to find a
solution to one of our edu
cational needs," Hoiberg
added. "There are many
young people who are out
of school, but feel they
need more eductaion for a
successful life, but also feel
that a trade school, busi
ness school, or college
doesn't meet their needs."
Two sessions are sched
uled for next year. The
gram will expand ac
cording to the needs and in
terests of the students.
"Who knows, the Hall of
Youth may be the begin
ning of something far
more widespread than we
can imagine now," he concluded.
