Welcome
To Summer Sessions
DRAWING BY GUNARS STRAZDINS
Chancellor C. M. Hardin
For many of you the beginning of
the Summer Sessions is an uninter
rupted pursuit of study; for a consid
erable number of others ii is a familiar
return; and for some it is the start of
a new and, we hope, rewarding experi
ence. Whatever your status, I want to
welcome you to the University of Ne
braska summer program and wish you
high success in your efforts.
This summer you will have educa
tional opportunities equal in quality to
those afforded between September and
the Spring Commencement. There are
good reasons why you should find
your summer work unusually stimulat
ing. First, you .are among colleagues
and fellow students whose appreciation
of the value of learning is sufficient to
push them on when a great many
others stop. And second, summer pro
grams can be planned to serve a spe
cial student body whose members, by
their very act of enrollment, give
evidence of a strong interest in learning.
We hope that you will enjoy your
stay with us and that your profits from
it will be prompt and pleasing to you.
Chancellor C. M. Hardin
Your experience in the Summer Ses
sions program, we hope, will be more
than a continuation of college study or '
the resumption of professional develop
ment after another year of teaching.
An important aim ot our summer
program is to provide an extra benefit
through special educational activities
; which enrich the usual routine of under
graduate and advanced study.
) You will, we hope, take full advan-
1 tage of such special events as the World
Affairs Previews on the first, third and
' fifth Thursdays of July and that you
will make a point of including concerts,
visits to the Sheldon Memorial Art Gal-
: lery and Mueller Planetarium Theater
. in your schedule.
In the planning of the Summer Ses
sions it has been our objective to make
your stay on campus interesting, pleas
j ant, and above all, profitable. A good
- Summer Session must produce returns
for the participant; it must prepare him
to return to his regular work or to the
continuation of further study with a new
enthusiasm and a reinforcement of con
fidence in himself and the importance of
the things he does. We believe that the
University's Summer Sessions are good
ones and, at the close of the present
schedule, we hope you will agree.
Frank E. Sorenson, Ph. D.

Comma
j Causes J
1 Crises;
By Mary Margaret Baillie i.
Unless you '-are a writer, a gram
marian, or a student, commas don't in
terest you, but if you fit in one of these . ,
categories, commas frustrate you! Writ- '
ers, from the novice English theme-writ-
er to the best-selling novelist tiave as,
much trouble as you do deciding wheth-
er or not a comma should be inserted
in a controversial spot, but a search into "
the history , of punctuation gives some
rhyme or reason to comma problems.
To begin with, the comma was the
jack-of-all-trades of punctuation. In the
16th century commas were used for ev
erything from dividing phrases to com
pleting thoughts. Other articles of punc
tuation were in existance, but they were
used interchangeably with the poor mis
fit, the comma.
Today, commas are commonest and
most commonly misused. The comma
lacks the character of a question mark
or an exclamation point. It lacks the
rules of a quotation mark. It lacks the
status of a semicolon or a colon. Some
times people even try to replace it with
a dash.
At. the beginning of the 18th century,
punctuation symbolized the patterns
heard in speech, and the standard guide
for punctuation was hearing. Now the
traditional purpose is to symbolize vis
ually the patterns heard in speech. This
switch from listening to looking has
created a lot of the difficulty in place
ment of commas.
When there were set rules saying
that a comma indicated a pause for a
time count of one and other articles of
punctuation two, three, and four count
pauses, punctuation was a simpler mat
ter because all a writer had to do was
listen to what he was saying.
Now that punctuation is a visual aid,
one must decide how strong a break he
wants between groups of words to make
an idea clear to his readers. The repe
tition of commas makes them less ef
fective; and if there is a need for a
number of commas in a sentence, it is
our tendency to Use something stronger,
for instance, a semicolon or a dash.
Grammarians make and use comma
rules that are logical and correct, but
the professional language of grammari
ans often makes it difficult for an ordi
nary reader to understand to what a
particular rule is supposed to apply;
for instance, when an expert introduces
such terms as "nominative absolute",
or "adverbial verbid clause" in a rule
his students often wonder what happened
to the good old noun and adverb. In
GRAMMAR WITHOUT TEARS, Hugh,
Sykes, and Davies say that ". . . most er
rors of punctuation arise from ill-designed,
badly shaped sentences, and from the
attempt to make them work by means
of violent tricks with commas and co
lons and such like. If sentence structure
were more malleable, most difficulties
over punctuation would disappear of
themselves."
Students are the most disgruntled
of comma users. Those from 5th grade
on up to those applying for their doc
torates, always have trouble with com
mas. They are not allowed to ignore
them, no matter how hard they try.
Where writers and grammarians
are devoted, or at least attempt to be,
students are not; but each is subjected
to the rules, and when they are learned,
the student moves to a new level and
learns different rules. After three or
four years of such bewilderment, every
one resigns himself to the apparent lack
