Today
A record number of high
school students are attending
the 1963 All-State High School
course on the University cam
pus, according to John Morau,
director.
The students will be study
ing in the areas of music, art
dramatics and journalism.
Moran said that 422 students
from 106 Nebraska towns
have been accepted for the
course which begins today and
will last until June 29.
More than 100 applications
were rejected because of lim
ited space for housing and
rooms for course sessions.
The previous high for enroll'
ment in All-State was 411 stu

During the three-week ses
sion the students will study

Nebraska Union
Broady To Retire
As Duo-Director
Dr. Knute O. Broady, di
rector of the Extension Divi
sion and head of the Nebras
ka Center for Continuing Ed
ucation will retire from his
administrative duties July 1
after being a member of the
University staff for 25 years
Although Broady has at 65
reached the mandatory age
limit for administrative
duties, he will continue to
teach as professor of school
administration in Teachers
College.
Broady has been Extension
Division director since 1941
and has directed Nebraska
Center activities since its
opening.
During the time he has
been with the University,
Broady has spent over half
his time directing programs
which annually serve upwards
of 20,000 young people and
courses, off-campug classes
adults through correspondence
held in 40 Nebraska commun
ities and night classes on the
campus.
The correspondence program
bv itself is one of the largest
university-related enterprises
of its kind in the world and
provides instruction by mail
(o high school students in ie
braska and to hundreds of
others in other states and 80
foreign countries.
The Iowa-born educator has
dedicated himself to the con
tinuing education of children
and adults almost from the
beginning of his career. The
son of Swedish parents, both
physicians, he once helped
manage a Chautauqua in the
Women's P.E. Plans
Recreational Swims
' The Department of Physical
Education for Women is
sponsoring a summer recrea
ational swim program.
The open swim period will
be from 3 p.,m. to 4 p.m.
daily, Monday through Fri
day at the Coliseum pool.
11 women students, staff
and University personnel may
take part in the recreational
program. The charge is 10
cents per person and swim
ming suits are furnished. A
swimming health permit
must be obtained from Stu
dent Health before swimmers
may enter the pool.
midwest to pay part of his
school expenses at Lolumoia
University where he received
his Ph.D. degree. The Cnau
tauqua were traveling schools
in the early 20th century in
which nationally known ora
tors were engaged to speak
"on circuit" to a culture and
education hungry populace.
Before coming to the Uni
versitv of Nebraska, Dr
Broady was a high schoo
teacher, principal and super
intendent in Kansas. "I've
never lost my interest in the
administration of s m a 1
schools and now I am going
to teach and research in this
area for my remaining pro
ductive years, he said.
Dr. Broady counts among
the highlights of his life the
opening of the Nebraska ten
ter for Continuing Education
and the teaching of the first
off-campus university course
at Auburn in 1932.
As an authority on the con
tinuing education of adults,
Dr. Broady was asked to give
his opinion on the directions
of adult education m the fu
ture:
"The Nebraska Center is
really only the beginning. Ev-
ery year I've been here I've
seen people long out of school
demand more and more of
their state university and
rightly so," he said. "You no
longer have to convince most
adults and young people that
their education is never fin
ished. It is a matter of work
ing with them to get the most
for their money.
"The Nebraska Center pro
grams are increasing in every
area. It used to be that we
could only expect physicians,
dentists and attorneys. Now
skills and professions across
the board are beginning to
work out programs years in
advance.
"In 25 years breakthroughs
in communications are likely
to make our closed-circuit
television and tele-lecture pro
grams look like small-time
enterprises.
The time is near when ev
en small groups will be able
to afford to listen and speak
with authorities in their field
and distance will mean noth
ing. This will help everyone
bricklayers, carpenters,
physicians .or telephone operators."

Summer Nebraskan
Approach, In Depth, To Campus
THE STAFF of the Summer Nebras
kan, although it numbers only two, has
been anticipating the opening day of Sum
mer school as they have been preparing
this first edition.
We have kept in mind our two-fold
purpose in publishing a summer campus
newspaper: .
1. To keep our readers informed
about their university and their special
educational interests. This job to inform
the reader must always be the major
function of a campus newspaper.
2. To try to develop a depth approach
for the newspaper. This approach can
be found on only a few campuses, with
perhaps the University of Nebraska cam
pus leading the effort.
WILT DO we mean by a depth ap
proach? It is presenting a story in such a
manner that few, if any, questions are
left unanswered for the reader. Not only
do we want the reader to know that the
frosted cake serves as a lovely center
piece for the birthday table, but also we
want to tell the reader, in detailed form,
how the flour is sifted, how the ingredi
ents are combined and on what tempera
ture the stove should be set.
DEPTH REPORTING IS, as James
Pope, former executive editor of The Lou
isville, Courier-Journal, put it, making the
word "reporting" the noblest word in the
English language. Others may scoff at
this goal, but to the journalist that alone
can be an almost complete code of ethics.
We have prepared this first edition
without the benefit of having the summer
school population for our major source
of news. However, now that the campus
is again back to its normal, busy pace
after a few days of silence, we will be
gin to report about you, the student, and
your interests and activities.
OUR OFFICE, 311 Burnett Hall, will
be open every day from 10 a.m. until S
p.m. We are interested in all news items,
announcements, feature material and in
any suggestions you may have for your
summer newspaper.
We hope that we will be mforming
you during the eight editions of the Sum
mer Nebraskan. We hope that the news
paper adds something to your summer
session on the campus. And we hope that
along the way you will feel you have ben
efitted from an experiment in journalism.
