The Great Plains Regional
Instructional Television Li
brary, Lincoln, is embarking
on a project to help wash
burn University, Topeka,
Kansas, reopen on schedule
for the fall semester.
The University was nearly
obliterated less than a month
ago by a savage tornado that
ripped Topeka leaving 16
dead, hundreds Injured, and
damage estimated at over
$100 million. Six of the 14
major buildings on the campus
were leveled and the eight
others badiy damaged.
Reopening Plans
Officials however plan to re
open the institution for the fall
semester utilizing all avail
able classrooms, but the Uni
versity also is looking to edu
cational television as a means
of providing necessary
courses.
Fortunately, the destruction
did not extend to KTWU-TV,

Unique Experiences
Unique experiences are
said to occur during the sum
mer months and Thomas Sel
wold, an economics and
American History instructor
at Omaha's VVestside High
School, can certainly attest
to that premise after h i s
recent three-week encounter
with observing "intruders."
While instructing an eight
week economics course at
the University of Nebraska's
University High School, he
could not only watch 17 stu
dents but an equal number
of secondary educators who
were observing his every
movement.
This "demonstration p r o-

dents total 149. The average
class is made up of twenty
students.
"Requests keep coming in,"
Lutes said, obviously pleased
at the reception to the pro
gram. "The Elwood principal
wants a class developed near
Cozad. He has appointed an
organizer to help get this
thing moving."
Graduate Level Course
And from Central City the
heme extension agent, M r s.
Helen Solt, has written for a
tailoring and design class
for Grand Island. She re
quested a graduate level
course for home extension
agents and home economics
teachers.
Teachers compose the
greatest percent of the field
class enrollments. And house
wives make up the next larg
est portion, according to
Lutes.
"We're too new at adult ed
ucation to have just straight
adults, however," he added.
"Probably about 95 are in
the teaching field y o u n g
teachers working toward their
graduate degrees or perhaps
older teachers working to
keep up with the changing
certification requirements."
The pattern has changed.
It used to be lots of people
without undergraduate de
grees were teaching in ele
mentary schools. Today about
all those people are gone.
This is the reason the f i e 1 d
class "program is starting to
be slanted toward the gradu
ate level.
"And besides the graduates
keeping up with certification
requirements, we have people
who are striving for salary
improvements which accom
pany additional educational
levels. This is a primary rea
son for the in-service classes
to help raise people up the
salary ladder schedule,"
Lutes said.
Wide Scope
"You know we have the
campus classes, day and eve
ning divisions, and the exten
sion courses, and all of t h e

television station, located five
miles from the main campus.
Primary Means
According to station man
ager Sandy Wheeler, "It's the
feeling of the administration
and faculty that it is fortunate
that the ETV facility was not
damaged as this appears to
be the primary means of keep
ing the University in operation
until it can be rebuilt."
Ironically ground had been
broken for new quarters for
the station only a few days
before the tornado struck.
Combined Circuits
The University plans to com
bine both closed and open cir
cuit facilities of the station,
making it possible to beam
36 hours of lessons each week
to students during the 1966-67
school year.
However, in order to plan
and develop a curriculum of
television courses, Washburn
University needs to know
what college level courses are
gram," as it is called, was
held June 13 to July 1 in con
junction with a Summer Sem
inar in Economic Education
especially designed for ele
mentary and secondary edu
cators sponsored by the Uni
versity of Nebraska Summer
Sessions and the Nebraska
Council on Economic Educa
tion.
Selwold, a, former Amer
ican History major at Sioux
City's Morningside College
who is presently working
towards a Master's Degree at
the University of South Da
kota, noted the participants
in the group possessed varied
backgrounds.
"There were about 17 ex-
field classes within the state
of Nebraska but we've been
working on something even
wider in scope.
"From the master plan of
one of the instructors in the
department of textile, cloth
ing, and design, we've come
up with a field class tour of
the fashion centers of Eur
ope."
European Trip
The trip is to cover the
textile centers of England,
France, and Italy and would
costs the travelers less than
$1800. Having left this sum
mer, the trip is lasting five
weeks. Departure was from
Omaha by Jet with stops for
additional passengers in Chi
cago and on the East Coast.
"This trip would be ideal
for the undergraduate as well
as the graduate student. Up
to five credits may be earned
from the experience. Or a re
tail store couple could see the
fashion houses 'first hand'."
New Approach
The mastermind of the
tour, Robert Hillestad, spent
a year in Paris studying fash
ion and design. He and Miss
Audrey Newton, both of t h e
department of textile, cloth
ing, and design, are conduct
ing the tour.
"This is a new approach in
the textile, clothing, and de
sign area of home econom
ics," Lutes said. "And I think
it may be a 'first in the
country."
Up-dating of the field class
program will continue from
sending professors across the
state to students across t h e
world. Distance is no longer
a reason for imparied educa
tional facilities.

schools," he stated.
Noting Progress
While he taught the class
to the high school students
who are attending the sum
mer session, the educators
observed his teaching meth
ods and procedures four days
a week from the back of the
room, noting the progress
that the class achieved.
Students Adapted
Surprisingly, the students
adapted themselves to the
unusual environment after
the customary 'first-day ner
vousness' quite well. "As the
course began to develop," he
noted, "they became too in
terested in it to worry about
the people watching them."
Difficulty Is Awareness
The main difficulty is
making the student aware of
an area of study that he has
had no previous experience.
It's entirely different from
other courses such as mathe
matics or history where he
has knowledge that he can
fall back to. He has had no
exposure to formalized eco
nomic instruction until he
walks in the class," he com
mented. Just The Beginning
"This is just the begin
ning," he added, "It has a
long period of growth before
it tapers off if it ever does.
The nature of the subject is
so alive as it touches every
thing in our existence. No
one can escape from i t s
grasp."
"When I took economics
as a sophomore in college, I
didn't see any need for it,
but when you stop to think,
nearly every magazine or
newspaper article has refer
ence to economics such as
the President's Council of Ec
onomic Advisers, the Treas
ury Department, Wall Street
or taxation. You can't under
stand these things unless you
have some basic knowledge
of economics."

Reading for Enrichment
Under the proposed system,
Judge Levin explains, a pan
el of three judges would dis
cuss the sentence to be im
posed on a convicted crimin
al defendant.
xccording to Judge Levin,
a sentencing council would
result in a positive advant
age by capitalizing on the di
versity of experience and the
pooling of experience of the
three judges. This would re
sult in a more informed, in
telligent sentence than would
ordinarily be the case where
one judge relied solely upon
his own attitude and experi

criminals. He suggests the
cooperative use in institutions

Study Reveals
Acceptance
Nebraska secondary school
teachers and administrators
are showing a general accept
ance of educational television
as a curriculum supplement
according to a study recently
completed at the University
of Nebraska.
The study, a doctoral dis
sertation of Glenn E. Knight,
former principal of Auburn
high school, was accepted by
his graduate committee in
Teachers College.
Knight, who made a survey
of the 56 secondary member
schools of the Nebraska Coun
cil for Educational Television,
found that there was general
agreement that television in
struction should be a basic
part of the teaching process.
According to the findings,
carefully organized and well
written teacher guides are re
quired for successful use of
ETV in the schools and that
while the use of television did
not alter significantly the role
of the classroom teacher, it
did alter their techniques in
41 percent of the cases.
Knight, presently an in
structor of educational ad
ministration at Western New
Mexico University, Silver
City, N.M., further found that
teachers in schools participat
ing in the N.C.E.T. felt that
they were not sufficiently in
volved in the decision to use
ETV.
Knight also found that there
was an apparent unwilling
ness of the reporting schools
to schedule certain ETV pro
grams more than once each
week.

Under the contract t h e

time alloted, extension
courses to men in the armed
services are like those going
to any civilian. The subject
matter and lessons are the
same.
The most popular courses
are the basic beginning s u b
