Extension School
Opens To Adults
One of the most ambitious
non-credit t d u 1 1 education
programs ever held In the
Lincoln community will be of
fered to housewives beginning
next month by the University
Extension Division in cooper
ation with the Lincoln City
uurai ics.
The program, "Fall Festi
val of Learning," is designed
to satisfy the intellectual and
cultural needs of local house
wives through a choice of any
cf five courses each of which
involves a series of lectures.
The course titles arc Elec
tion 1964, History of Nebraska,
The Contemporary Novel,
Great Dramatic Literature,
and the Best Children's Lit
erature. Roscow Shields, head of in
formal education in the Ex
tension Division, said the new
program, will be limited to
35 persons in daytime classes,
70 in the evening. Registra
tions will be accepted on a
first come basis. Interested
persons should call the Ex
tension Division or any Lin
coln library branch.
Shields said the cooperative
venture was undertaken to
help women who could not
otherwise continue their edu
cation. "It is becoming In
creasingly evident that we
are going to have to make
provision for the busy mother
and homcmaker if she is go
ing to fulfill her role in socie
ty as an informed, culturally
progressive person," he said.
The courses, for which a
nominal registration fee will
be required, will be held in
the various Lincoln library
branch stations. Instructors
from the University and the

of their special qualifications
in teaching adults and their
familiarity with the subject
matter. The courses:

Health Group Set
To Start Again
Without Officers
The Campus Health Council,
which barely got started on
the University campus last
spring, is being reorganized
by Tom Brewster, president
pro temp of the organization.
Since last years officers
graduated without reelecting,
Brewster was left with the
chore of getting some officers
together this year.
The council's purpose is to
act as a llason between stu
dents and Student Health,
concerning physical and men
tal health.
Brewster said that those
most needing of the services
of such a council are co-ops,
fraternities, and 6ororlties.
These living units do not
presently have anyone prima
rily concerned with student
health, such as dorm counse
lors. The council would act as
the coordinator of a campus
wide health program, headed
in each living unit by a chair
man, and governed by a board
of officers.
The board would be rcspon
sible for possibly giving first
aid courses to the chairmen,
and making sure that each
chairman has a kit containing
supplies for colds and other
minor health problems which
could be taken care of out of
Student Health, according to
Brewster.
The board officers which
are available are president,
vice-president, secretary, and
treasurer.
Anyone who is interested
in nerving on the board as an
officer should contact Tom
Brewster, Dr. Samuel Fuenn
ing, director of the Student
Health Center, or Celeste
Knipmeyer, public health
nurse at Student Health during
this week.
Interviews will be held un
der the direction of Dr.
Fuenning, Brewster, and Miss
Knipmeyer.
AUF Interviews
To Be Thursday
Interviews for assistant
chairman positions in the All
University Fund will be held
Thursday at 8:30 p.m. in 345
Union. No experience in AUF
is required.
Applications may be picked
up outside room 345 today
and must be returned before
5 p.m. on Thursday. The po
sitions open include one as
sistant in each of the follow
ing departments: publicity,
the Ag campus, special events
and the Lincoln drive.
Economics By Television
Draws Student Criticism
More than 500 University
students who received a
semester's instruction in
sophomore economics by
closed circuit television have
some negative opinions about
TV as a teaching medium,
but only a minority said they
would hesitate to enroll in
more TV-instructed classes.
The students gave their
opinions in a poll conducted
by Dr. Campbell R, McCon
nell, the professor who taught
the course in a system which
included optional sessions with
tutors as well as the TV lec
tures transmitted to nine
class sections.
Though 39 per cent of the
students did not take advan
tage of the optional out-of-class
sessions with tutors, the
overwhelming majority of
those who did found them of
value, and almost half said
the tutor sessions provided an
acceptable substitute for class
room question-asking which a
TV lecture does not allow.
Returns from the students
Indicated that being instructed
by TV did not keep them from
learning sixty-eight per cent
said the course "corrected a
number of misconceptions I
originally held concerning
the operation of our econo
my." Further, when asked to com
pare their economics course
under
and
with others they took
conventional classroom
laboratory conditions, 71 per
cent rated the quality of the
economic course to be as good
as or better than all others.
Professor McConncII said
he has drawn no conclusions
from the "oplnlonnalrc," add
ing that he, as a teacher, Is
uncertain about the results of
his TV experience but is try
ing again this year.
"One thing the students had
no way of knowing," Profes
sor McConncII said, "w a s
that with TV we were able to
increase substantially the
amount of material covered in
the course."

Other Activities Replace
Religiosity For Students
"I don't think our kids are
really non-religious they're
just involved in other things."
This comment by Rev. Duane
Hutchinson expressed the
opinion of the pastors of sev
eral student religious organi
zations on campus.
Rev. Hutchinson, pastor at
the Methodist Wesley Center,
said he did not sense apathy
on the part of students who
attended services at the Wes
ley Center. He believed that
today's young people are just
as interested in religion, but
that they are not "churchy"
in the sense of finding it nec
essary to attend formal re
ligious services.
"The students arc very re
sponsive and very enthusias
tic," he commented.
Rev. Ralph Hays of the
United Campus Christian Fel
lowship, enlarged on this
viewpoint. "Students are per
haps more anti-religious as
far as institutional forms are
concerned," he said. "How
ever, they are still concerned
with the deeper meaning of
life. They are skeptical about
the hypocrisy of the forms
which may be found, and they
are more concerned with the
social problems about which
the church has little to say."
Rev. Peterson of the Luth
eran Student House, divided
students into "those who are
totally committed to religion,
those who are still searching,
and the small number who
are completely anti-religion."
"Students are quite open to
giving the message o ft h e
church a hearing, I have
found," he commented.
"Many students are con
cerned, but it is probaby a
minority who give time to
Christian faith as an impor
tant part of life," he went on.
Rev. Hain of the Catholic
Student Center found student
participation interest in wor
ship services was rather good
on campus. "I have no criti
cism of this because many
students continue home tradi
tions." "However, interest in doing
the work of the Christian
apostolate wanes a little be
cause of preoccupation with,
other activities," he continued.
Last year about 1200 stu
dents registered a preference
for the American Lutheran
church. Of these about 150 are
married, and about 200 are
local students. Around 500 of
the remaining 850 students
were reached in some way
last year.
Rev. Hutchinson agreed
that "We're not serving the
masses." Of 2300 students
who listed the Methodist
Church as their preference,
about 700 attend church on
campus, and another 700 at
tend church hi Hie Lincoln
area.
Rev. Hays commented that
perhaps there is more church
attendance than total com
mittment. He also felt it is
more difficult to reach all stu
dents individually. "We know
less and less of the students,"
he said.
Because of a lack of funds,
it is often difficult for the
student religious centers to
grow with the campus. UCCF,
which lost one staff member
this year, must also be con
cerned not only with the Uni
versity, but with other outstate
colleges. Rev. Hays noted that
perhaps the time will come
when it will be necessary to
hire one pastor for all stu
dents, with more ecumenical
services.
About 2500 students regis
tered a preference for one of
the four churches in UCCF
last year. Although no figures
are available this year, about
220 are attending morning
services.
