Programs for Next Year
Other program plans of the
Council for the next school
year include classes in arith
metic for grades three and
four, science for grades five
and six, social studies for
grades seven and eight, and
French I and II.
In-SerVice Programs
In addition to the children's
classes, in-service programs
for teachers will be offered
for each of the four teaching
areas programmed by the
Council. These in-service pro
grams will serve to inform
classroom teachers of what
is coming up in the children's
broadcasts, as well as to pro
vide additional background
material and suggestions as
to how they can utilize the
broadcast material in their
own classrooms, Mrs. Rade
macher said.

tional station, and channels
seven and ten in Omaha and
Scottsbluff, respectively.
A c c o r d in g to a recent
NCET Newsletter, more than
ten per cent of Nebraska s
school children viewed educa
tional telecasts produced by
the Nebraska Council dur
ing the past school year.
The Newsletter reports
that over 27,000 students in
grades three through eight
viewed weekly telecasts In
science, arithmetic, social
studies and French, and that
over 900 teachers utilized the
Council programs in their
classrooms.
Quoting the Omaha World
Herald, the May Newsletter
reports that "results from
educational television in t h e
elementary schools of Grand
Island have been sensational,
according to Gerald Bryant,
curriculum director." Bry
ant said that achievement
tests have shown virtually a
100 per cent gain in profici
ency among pupils in grades
three to six. "The television,

Dr. Cranford, who spent 13
years as a state editor for
southern newspapers and the
Associated Press, prepared
the manual so that individual
newspapers can modify and

letter continues.
Each school reached by
telecasts of the Nebraska
Council pays a membership
fee to the Council as well as
a certain amount per pupil,
depending upon the programs
used, Mrs. Rademacher said
So each school has a voice
as to what is telecast, and
hence is invited to partici
pate in the Council program
ming workshops.
Chancellor Hardin:
Keep Doors
To Education
Open Wide
' Chancellor Clifford M.
Hardin last Friday called for
a broadening of the responsi
bilities of Land-Grant Col
leges and keeping the doors
open.
Appearing on the platform
with other national education
al and business leaders at a
Cornell University Centennial
convocation in Ithaca, N.Y.,
the chancellor urged that the
doors of opportunity for high
er education be kept open to
qualified students.
"At a time when the num
bers of young people reaching
college are rising at an un
precedented rate, when an
even greater percentage of
young people want to go to
college, and when there is
great pressure to raise the
cost of education to the stu
dent and his family, we must,
by whatever means we can
devise, strike to keep educa
tional opportunity within the
financial reach of all our
able young people," he said.
Comprehensive Universities
Dr. Hardin said many land
grant institutions have de
veloped into comprehensive
universities. He forecast that
Extension activities "appear
on the threshold of new adult
educational activities that
relatively may be as com
prehensive and far reaching
in their implications as the
programs in agriculture in
the past."
The Chancellor said there
will be a continuation of de
mand for more advanced
professional and graduate ed
ucation. The pressure is
coming not only from educa
tion but from business, in
dustry -and government.
Referring to the need for
broadening the responsibilities
of higher education, Chancel
lor Hardin said students on
campuses today will be lead
ing productive lives well into
the 21st century. They will
be drawn into closer contact
with the peoples, cultures and
economics of Africa. Asia, the
Southwest Pacific and Latin
America than the present
generation.

Gone are the days when
high school students i waited
for school to dismiss for va
cation so they could while
away the summer hours at
the old swimming and fishing
holes. Or at least it's begin
ning to seem that way.
"Summer school is becom
ing quite popular all over the
country and certainly it is in
Lincoln," said Carroll Sawin,
assistant principal of Univer
sity High School. Summer
classes at Uni High are being
attended by 595 "vacationing"
high school students this sum
mer. "When I first came here six
years ago, there were 135 stu
dents enrolled in summer
school," Sawin said. "Enroll
ment began to grow three or
four years ago last summer
there were 565 Students and
this year there are 545 regular
students plus 50 who are at
tending a language institute
in the building."
Three Reasons
Why the interet in sum

reasons:

1. Some students (about
two-fifths) attend for reme
dial purposes.
2. Some attend to enrich
their educational programs.
3. Some attend to acceler
ate their programs by taking
required courses in summer
school so that their schedules
will allow them to take elec
tives in their regular high
schools.
Sawin explained that each
student is allowed to take a
maximum of two courses for
the eight-week session which
gives full semester credits
for the forty class days. Each
class lasts . one and a half
hours. In a very few special
cases, students are allowed
to take three courses.
As during the regular
school year, University High
is staffed by student teachers
for the summer session.
Twenty-eight student teachers
are teaching the summer
classes and earning the reg

explaining that Clark has two

in large-group instruction.
The group instruction in
volves about 60 students who
meet together for lectures and

Responsibility

"Democracy is a special

Dr. Duane Loewenstein,

ice, added that "we each have
to learn how to live demo
cratically with other people.
Actually, we all spend a life
time at this job.
"Learning to become a
good citizen m a democracy
means learning certain ways
of thinking and feeling, inside
each of us, which lead us to
act with deep respect and
consideration for people

Curriculum
The summer high school
curriculum nearly approxi
mates that of the regular
school year, Sawin said. All
the regular English and so

fered, as well as some math
and science, home mechanics
and swimming.
"The most highly sought
after classes are typing
classes they're real popular
in the summer," Sawin said.
For the first time, a course
in notehand is being offered
in summer school. The course,
designed for college-b o u n d
students, was introduced in
the Lincoln school system
this year. Notehand is a new,
abbreviated shorthand helpful
in notetaking, S a w i n ex

course," he said.
All but about 23 of the
summer students at Univer

High students, Sawin said.
Most of them come from
other Lincoln high schools
and some from surrounding
areas. "Quite a few are sons
and daughters of visiting Uni
versity professors," he added.
There's no getting out of
school for vacation trips for
high school summer students.
"We're tough about that if
they expect to earn a semes

of ch sses, they should be
