Committee Does Research
On Living-Learning Concept
A Centennial College com
mittee has been established at
the University of Nebraska to
look for new ays to deal
with the growing problem of
depersonalization as the uni
versity increases In size.
Dean Merk Hobson, who is
working on the committee,
explained that right now it
is a matter of researching to
find whether the living-learning
concept would he more ef
fective than the present sysiera
of dormitory living.
The livteg-leariiing concept
means that a group of stu
dents from tbe same college
would live and study together
daring part or most of their
college education.

Hobson said.
Plans to develop inde
pendent or semi-autonomous
small college campuses have
been launched by more than
12 major public universities.
Advantages Merge
The chief goal is to offer
students the academic' and
personal advantages of a
small college environment as
well as the resources of a gi
ant university.
The University tf Kansas
began experimenting this
year with a residential college
program that may lead to a
division of that university's

Some 500 freshmen whose

coordinated as much as pos
sible are involved in this proj

may be expanded to include
all freshmen and sophomores
by 1968.
After experimenting with
the Uving-learning concept,
the University of Massachu
setts has decided to build a
new residential college in Am
herst for 5.000 students. The
main emphasis will be on

study.

Faculty Number Rises
The toial number of per
sons engaged in teaching the
"67 summer sessions is some
what in excess of 630. sixty
more staff members than last
year, according to Frank E.
Sorenson, director of Summer
Sessions.
The b avers it y will utilize 54
guest lectures. 1M guest fa
culty and 134 graduate as
sistants. Tbe majority of tbe
staff holding the rank of in
structor or above are teach
iag full time, SoreBsoa said.
Regular university faculty
members are encouraged to
go to other schools to leach
during the summer and guest
staff members are enlisted
to instruct here, be said.
"The purpose of this is
three-fold. It helps to keep
our campus from becoming
too provincial in nature, it
provides a more cosmopoli
tan teaching environment and
makes the university aware
of the world through broader
concepts," Sorenson ex
plained. "Three guest faculty mem

tee will develop some innova
tions of its own.
The administration is try
ing to develop a closer rela
tionship with students so they
won't become obscure num
bers, said Miss Helen Snyder,
dean of women.
Rate Tapers Off
"I dont believe the univer
sity will become a sprawling
megalopolis. We are growing
at a terrific rate, but this will
taper off as the university
reaches a maximum size of
25.000," Dean Snyder said.
Dean G. Robert Ross, in
charge of student affairs, said
tbe university is looking con
stantly for new ways to group
students in order to develop a
personalized education.
Tbe advantages a large uni
versity may gain from small
colleges are numerous, edu
cators believe. Here are a
few listed by the faculty com
mittee at the University of
Kentucky:
It gives the students a
sense of identity with their
college, thus producing a
small college atmosphere in a
large university.
Dormitories lose their hotel-like
environment and these
residence n i t s develop a
feeling of academic unity. The
integration of academic and
residential aspects of the col
lege extend education beyond
tbe class room.
This new concept pro
motes social and intellectual
interaction among students
and faculty which in turn
promotes educational experi
mentation and innovation.
are teaching classes in the
political science and history
departments. We also draw
beavfly rpon the Lincoln pub
lic school system for educa
tion instructors," be men
tioned. Tbe summer session ha
changed the amount of activ
ity in several departments.
Tbe Department of Physics
which offered few courses
during the summer session in
2966 has a program of con
siderable breadih and depth
this summer, Sorenson said.
Modem language are also
very popular this summer.
Several extra section of
Spanish and French had to
be added to accommodate the
requests of students for these
courses, be noted.
Elementary education

rollment, according to Sor

framed were full to over
