Masters, Doctors Candidates

By JIM RISSER
Oral examinations, which
have just been finished by
graduate students expecting
to receive their degrees Fri
day, are "power examina
tions, not memory examina
tions," according to Dr. Har
old E. Wise, Associate Dean
of the Graduate College.
Monday was the last chance
for candidates for masters
and doctors degrees to stand
before a four to seven man
committee and to defend and
explain their graduate
studies. "The examinations
cut across course boundaries,
and test the student's knowl
edge in his field," Dr. Wise
said.
The oral exam is the last

in a long series of steps
which include choosing an
area of study and a subject
for the master's thesis or
doctor's dissertation. The stu
dent does research and writes
his paper in addition to tak
ing classroom work. He takes
comprehensive written exam
inatons, has his paper ap
proved, and finally takes the
oral exam.
The candidate for a degree
must schedule his exams at
least three weeks in advance
of the date on which he is to
be examined, so that there is
time to call the committee.
The committee consists of the
student's adviser, a graduate
faculty member in each of the
student's major and minor
fields, and such others as the
adviser may recommend.
"The student's adviser acts
as chairman of the examin
ing committee, and deter
mines in large measure how
the examination is con
ducted," Dr. Wise said. The
usual procedure is a 15 to 30
minute presentation by the
student, followed by discus-

sion and questions from the
committee members, he ex
plained. The student must be able
to discuss his thesis or dis
sertation, and to defend its
significance and application.
For masters candidates, the
exam lasts one to two hours,
Dr. Wise said, while potential
doctors can expect to be in
front of the committee for
more than two hours.
One Lincoln student, who
will receive a Master of Edu
cation degree at Friday's
ceremonies, said that his ex
amination last Friday con
sisted largely of questions
and discussion on application
of the conclusions in his
thesis.
The student, Jack Carlin of
Lincoln, has been doing his
graduate work in educational
psychology and measure
ments. "The exam was rea
sonably informal and we all
sat at a table in my adviser's
office," Carlin said.
Carlin made only a t e n
minute presentation, discus
sing his past studies, his
graduate work, and his thesis.
The remainder of his exam
ination, wich lasted an hour
and 20 minutes, was spent in
answering questions and dis
cussing points in his thesis.

science backgrounds for bet
ter course instruction in state
secondary schools. The Insti
tute, a six-year-old program
of the National Science Foun
dation and sponsored by that
body, is carried on in 400 uni
versities nationwide; its popu
larity is measured locally by
the fact that only 75 of 400
applicants in this area could
be accepted for training.
"Quality teaching and thor
oughgoing research has been
our theme this year as in
past seasons in all depart
ments of the University," Dr.
Sorenson pointed out. "O u r
graduate enrollment in
creases yearly and this
makes mandatory a heavier
research program. This trend
serves as an accurate index
to the many kinds of benefits
the University offers to peo
ple in the state.
"Project English" identifies
a new English curriculum be
ing developed by the Nebras
ka Curriculum Development
Center to conduct experimen

Rice, co-director of the plan,
explained that 42 instructors
working as the Woods Eng

would spend summer session
time preparing study units to
undergo tests in various Ne
braska high schools during
the coming year.

hand-picked elementary and
secondary Spanish teachers,
took part in the program to
become more proficient in
teaching Modern Foreign
Languages. The plan was
strengthened by adding a
teaching staff of language au
thorities from many coun
tries. Teachers will be offered
opportunities to attend four
post sessions during a three
week period in August, ac
cording to Dr. Sorenson.
Courses will be offered in
teaching driver education in
secondary schools, a public
health class, a section in audio-visual
materials for teach
ers, and a school administra
tion course listed as Minor
Research. These courses will
offer from three to six cred
its with costs similar to those
for regular semesters and
summer sessions.
Students in attendance at
the University soon discover
its "center of things": the
Nebraska Union. Main pur
pose of the Union, according
to Robert Barnes, asssitant
managing director, is to pro
vide facilities in which edu
cational, cultural, social, and

recreational activities of the
campus community may take
place. "The Union," he says,
"provides an out-of-c lass
scene and platform for edu
cational opportunities not
readily obtainable in a class
room." The Union's off-campus
tours as well attracted many
summer students. Union rec
reation staffers arranged for
tours to the state peniten
tiary, Sheldon Station at Hal
lam, where the state's atomic
energy plant is in full pro
duction, and the Lincoln Air
Force Base. A variety of for
eign films not available else
where were shown; the Pan
American Fiesta convocation
and dinner provided memora
ble moments for many. Stag
ing of the University orches
tra and chorus concert were
contributions as part of the
Summer Artist series.
Other important University
facilities contribute in the
summer to student and fac
ulty welfare as well. Over
the years, for example, an
environmental health code
has been established by Stu
dent Health Center officials
to insure protection of health
and safety for all.
"Our goal," comments Dr.
S. I. Fuenning, medical di
rector, "remains in the sum
mer as well as for regular
school sessions maintenance
of preventive measures in or

der to minimize health and
safety hazards in the campus
environment." Medical staff
members as well as other ap
propriate officials follow
Health Service regulations in
such widely diverse areas as
food handling and distribu
tion, water supplies, insect
and rodent control, student
housing, and occupational
health and safety.
Morrill Hall's Ralph Muel
ler planetarium has proved
popular during the session:
in May, with many school
"sneak day" visitors from
outstate secondary schools,
attendance at the "Fireworks
On the Sun" performance
brought over 5,000 visitors to
see SI shows. June and July
are expected to show that
about that many witnessed
the guided tour of the plane
tarium's "'night sky" in the
"Stars and Indians" and
'Depths of Space" presenta
tions. With the conference this
summer of some 425 bacca
laureate honors and advanced
degrees, officials feel the
University reflects steady ad
vancement in a busy state
community.
"Our services to our state
and to its people, along with
continuing research and our
capable teaching staff, makes
our university the good school
it is," concludes Dr. Sorenson.
