Orientation
University of Nebraska stu
dents and faculty members
are preparing for the thirl
series of two-day summer ori
entation programs for enter
ing students and their parents
which begin tomorrow and
continue through August 5.
Last year 4,500 parents and
entering students participated
in the program which has two
main purposes:
To give each student a
maximum of individual at
tention so that all questions
about academic work and stu
dent life can be answered be
fore beginning the fall term;
To give parents an oppor
tunity to understand the aims
f the University, what the
University expects of its stu
dents, to ask questions about
costs, clothing, rules and pro
aures, and to become per
sonally acquainted with Uni
versity staff members and
students.
Each entering student and
his parents will be invited to
participate in the two-day ori
entation programs which will
include separate sessions for
parents and new students.
Those attending will have an
opportunity to stay in the
University's newest residence
hall, named in honor of Mari
Sandoz, at 17th and Vine
Streets.
This year's summer pro
gram is being coordinated by
Gerald Bowker, member of
the Junior Division and coun
seling service, with Universi
ty faculty members and 16
students.

Today "Buffalo Bill Day"
in Lincoln will continue a
tradition that started nearly
one hundred years ago in Ne
braska, a tradition that for
this week is being recreated
and reproduced in true life
form.
Appearances of cowboys,
Indians, and pioneers on the
streets of Lincoln and other
Nebraska towns have come to
be vivid proof that Nebraska
land where the West begins
has retained the tradition
that all America once had in
its possession. Its Old West
history has stepped out of the
pictures of books to tell its
own story of Nebraska's tour
ism, vacation, outdoor rec
reation, and, most of all, its
genuine existence during NE
BRASKAland DAYS
Buffalo Bill Day
Today is being devoted to
the pioneers, Indians, and
cowboys who first walked the
grasses of Nebraska. Early
Western determinism will be
displayed in the "Buffalo Bill
Day" parade featuring the
Omaha Tribe of Yessir and
the Lincoln Sowers at 11 a.m.
Rip-roaring Western capers
will climax the day on the
North Steps of the State Cap
itol tonight at the Wild West
Show, beginning at 8.
The Wild West Show will
pay tribute to "Buffalo Bill"
by honoring movie star Charl
ton Heston for his outstanding
contribution in promoting the
West through quality family
entertainment. Heston will re
ceive the second annual Buf
falo Bill Award during Wed
nesday's Oregon Trail Day
parade. Emcees for tonight's
Wild West Show are Dick
Perry and Bill Wood.
Oregon Trail Day
Tomorrow's NEBRASKA
land festivities will salute the
pioneer tradition as a covered
wagon train from Fairbury
thunders through downtown
Lincoln at noon. Fairbury's
Rock Creek Station,, a one
time stage station on the
Oregon Trail, will be the
starting point for the covered
wagons in tomorrow's "Ore
gon Trail Day".
Nebraskans in their pioneer
best are expected to be on
hand for the 90-minute spec
tacular NEBRASKAland Par
ade beginning at 5 p.m. The
parade will be led by Mrs.
Lyndon B. Johnson as Grand
Marshall. At the Grand Mar
shall's reviewing stand, the
Buffalo Bill Award will be
presented to Charlton Heston.
Before arriving in Lincoln
for the NEBRASKAland Par
ade, Mrs. Johnson will spend
the morning in Omaha on a
tri-purpose visit. Her Omaha
visit involves a tour of Offutt
Air Force Base where she
will plant a tree near the
Minuteman missile, a tour
and speaking engagement at
Boys Town, and a beautifica
tion talk at the City Auditor
ium Assembly Hall.
All the action of the NE
BRASKAland Parade will be
captured on videotape and tel
ecast over KUON-TV, Chan
nel 12, at 6:30 tomorrow night.
4-Day Rodeo
Old West activities will con
tinue to thrive through Sun
day with rodeos, pancake
feeds, kids' day, and camp-arees.

Whether your enrollment for summer
work is a completely new experience or a
resumption of study you began earlier, I am
pleased to join Dr. Sorenson in saying, "Wel
come to the University of Nebraska!"
You may be surprised to learn that plan
ning for the summer sessions is a year-round
occupation at the University. Dr. Sorenson
and his staff began planning this summer's
program last September in order to make it
a valuable and memorable one for you.
You also will be interested to learn that
the enrollment this summer is at a record
high level. When the final figures are in. the
total probably will be close to 6,000. This re
flects the continuing growth in the demand
for higher education, and it also reflects the
maturity of the Summer Session as an integral
part of the total program of the University.
We are pleased to have you with us. It
is our hope that you will enjoy your work
and will take full advantage of the special
events which have been planned for you.

Enrollment for this summer session is a reflection of the
continuing growth in the demand for higher education, ac
cording to Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin.
The Summer Nebraskan also is striving to be a reflection
of such a demand. The challenges of the Summer Nebraskan
are as unlimited as are the challenges of a higher education.
In meeting the challenges of continuing growth, the Sum
mer Nebraskan will emphasize wrhat Dr. Frank Sorenson,
Director of Summer Sessions, has termed at the "extensive
resources" of the University and its personnel, both faculty
and students.
Many of the various resources available on the University
of Nebraska campus will be featured in a regular column,
the Golden Kernel. Each week the column will spotlight a
University feature. ' -
As well as portraying campus life during the summer
session, the Summer Nebraskan will display the opportunities
of cultural and recreational activities in Lincoln and the sur
rounding areas. The newspaper hopes to maintain the matur
ity of a summer session program that is designed to stimu
late thought and to supplement the backgrounds of the stu
dents involved with its activities.
While attending the summer session is an educational ex
perence, so too, is the publication of the Summer Nebraskan.
The newspaper will experiment with page designs, headline
styles, and picture presentations as well as story content.
The Summer Nebraskan invites the comments and criti
cisms of its readers.

It is expected that 6,000 students will
enroll for undergraduate and graduate
courses in the 1966 Summer Sessions. This
will be the largest summer enrollment
ever achieved at the University of Ne
braska; in fact only a few years ago the
fall and spring enrollment was no larger
than 6.000 students.
The University is proud to be able to
offer air-conditioned dormitory space and
food services to all students interested. In
addition, the Nebraska Union is prepared
to offer its many recreational and infor
mal educational facilities for the conven
ience of the University's summer family.
The Summer Nebraskan is your best
source of information regarding the many
opportunities open to students enrolled for
summer classes. A supplementary source
of information will be the special bulletin
boards located in the halls of the campus
buildings. Programs listed, we believe,
will contribute in a significant way to en
riched opportunities for learning.
