campus welcome summer session students.
Summer Nebraskan:
Ail Experiment in Depth and Quality
The staff of the Summer Nebraskan ex
tends a welcome and asks you to partici
pate in an experiment in journalism.
For the third summer the Summer Ne
braskan will have two major goals:
3- To keep you informed about your uni
versity and your special educational in
terests. This job to inform the reader
must always be the major function of a
newspaper.
2. To try to develop a depth approach
for the campus newspaper. This approach
can be found on only a few campuses,
with perhaps the University of Nebraska
campus leading the effort.
You deserve to know what we mean by
depth. It is, quite simply, reporting the
whole story, accurately, in perspective,
and in an interesting way. It is a return
to the principles forgotten in some mod
ern newspapers. It is an addition to those
principles of better writing sometimes
practiced today more in competition than
in some newspapers.
It is, as James Pope, former executive
editor of The Louisville Courier-Journal,
put it, making the word "reporting" the
noblest word in the English language.
Others may scoff, but to the journalist
that alone can be as almost complete
code of ethics.
We hope we inform you. We hope the
Summer Nebraskan adds something to
your summer session on the campus. And
we hope that along the way you will feel
you were a part of an important experi
ment in journalism.

Hardin Tells Alumni NU Faces Critical Year
The University is facing a
critical year in national com
petition for faculty and there
is a need for a reaffirmation
of Nebraska's desire to have
a strong state university,
Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin
told a Cornhusker Alumni
Eound-Up audience Saturday
noon.
"Apparently the recent staff
resignations have had the ef
fect of pointing up an old
problem in a new and realis
tic light, he said.
"But it should be said,
also," he continued, "that
sometimes staff resignations
have the effect of distorting
the perspective.
When a key staff niemLcr
leaves there is action to re
port, news to spread. But
when a dozen staff members
turn down offers and elect to
stay, much of the drama of
their decisions is, unfortunate
ly, lost
'I would like to emphasize
undramatic though it may
be that we have in the rec
ord a great many examples
of those who are staying and
who will continue to con
tribute to the further develop
ment of the University.
""In many instances those
who are staying en through
the critical year ahead are
demonstrating their confi
dence in Nebraska and in the
continuing determination of
Nebraska people to have a
strong University to serve
their sons and daughters and
their communities. I am
pleased to join with those who
hold this view.
"I think the recent record
reflects the continuing desire

Summer enrollment is on
the increase with an estimat
ed 4,000 students enrolled for
the 1962 Summer Session,
according to Dr. Frank E.
Sorenson, director of Summer
Sessions.
About 1,400 regular Univer
sity students have preregis
tered, topping last year's 1,100
preregistration figure, and the
number may be as high as
1500, Dr. Sorenson said.
He cited three reasons for
the increased number of reg
ular University students at
tending the summer session.
"There is a feelin? of nr-
gciiuj' uu u.c ycu i ujc stu
dents to graduate," Dr. Sor
enson said. This eagerness to
graduate appears to be due
largely to undergraduate stu
dents looking forward either
to graduate work or to a fifth
year of study, he explained.
A second reason. Dr. Sor
enson said, is that a number
of the coUeges now require
more than 12s nours 10 grad
uate. The increased require
ments almost require a fifth
year of work and cause the
students to feel an urgency to
speed up their education.
Some students continue
their educations during the
summer so they can be bet
ter oualified when thev are
called into the services, Dr.
Sorenson said. "The peo
ple who get the breaks in the
services now are those who
are the best educated," he
added.
In addition to reeular Uni
versity students, the sum-j
mer enrollment includes re-
cent hish school graduates
who are entering college for
the first tune, graduate stu
dents, and teachers and
school administrators from
the majority of Nebraska
communities, who are working
on graduate, advanced certif
icates, or advanced profes
sional certificates.
I nredict that this summer
wi mav well have between
200 end 300 recent high school
graduates here on campus,
rr Sorenson said. The im
mediate enrollment of high
school graduates into college
is quite new ana ine umver
citv communitv itself has
adopted a new policy of
planning especially lor tnese
new graduates, he added.
High School Grads
"We can do a very good
job in helping the high school
graduates adjust to the cam
pus. The summer session
gives the graduate a chance
to explore his interests to find
which fields he might best go
into in the falL and by the
lime fall comes, be feels at
home here and can get along
much better," Dr. Sorenson
said.
Through the summer edu
cation of Nebraska teachers
and school administrators,
the University has a better
opportunity to contribute to
Nebraska's welfare than is
usually true, Dr. Sorenson
said. He explained that many
of the University's regular
Teachers College graduates
leave Nebraska, but "if we
help Nebraska teachers im
prove their education in the
summer, they go back to our
Nebraska communities and
Nebraska gets immediate
compensation for their invest
ment" Secondary Education
In addition to providing
post high school instruction,
the summer sessions at the
University are making pro
visions to enrich the educa
tional background of secon
dary youth, Dr. Scrensoa
said. Prominent on the cam
pus during June will be the

program and the Cornhusker
Girls' and Boys' States for in
struction in Nebraska govern
ment "The summer program at
the University of Nebraska
is becoming more and more
a part of a year-round offer
ing," Dr. Sorenson said. 'TCe
used to have school for nine
months and then virtu ally
close now things are real
ly buzzing in the summer."
"This is all for the good as
far as Nebraska is concerned
we're making more and
more use of our facilities,"
he said.
"We cant afford to sit
alongside a lake and rest all
summer. Society is requiring
us t o step up our educational
offerings," be added.
'Time's awasting and com
petition is great for educated
men and women. The Univer
sity has to step up its offer
ings for students to make it
easier for them to acquire a
broader education we have
to keep the University rolling
to assume its share of the
social responsibility of our
time," Dr. Sorenson said.
