Thursday, September 14, 1967 Page 4 The Daily Nebraskan Tufts Freshmen Choose 1A ' V'. i IV 1 M V : -1 ..! Student Instructors Intercollegiate Press Bulletin Medford, Mass. Fresh men at Tufts University will have a choice this year be t w e e n seminar courses taught by students and sem inar courses taught by faculty members. The students maintain that freshmen learn more when the class leader is "asking them not telling them." The faculty stresses the hope "that the opportunity for social contact in an in tellectual context between faculty members and fresh men will give the student an insight into the lively practice of intellectual en deavor and discovery." FRIENDLY RIVALRY The friendly student-faculty rivalry is the result of separate efforts by student members of the Experimen tal College Board and fac ulty members of the Com mittee on Curriculum to provide alternatives to the usual lecture and labora tory courses now offered freshmen. Students have long main tained that such courses are too impersonal. The semi nars will be small group dis cussions on selected topics. Women's Honorary Holds Tea Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman women's honor ary, will sponsor a tea for all female recipients of Re gents Scholarships Thurs day at 4 p.m. in the Ne braska Union. The tea is held each year to encourage these recipi ents or maintain high schol arship at the University. The honorary is also planning a fall initiation for women who achieved an accumulative grade aver age of 3.5 second semester of last year. Current officers for the honorary include Vicki Schick, president; Rilda Baker, vice president; Pamela Carter, secretary; Carol Ann Fling, treasur er; Carrie Douglas, histori an; Jane Sitorius, news editor.

Tickets may be purchased In the Nebraska Union and campus living quarters. tfTt--- J HELP WANTED Student Experimen tal College Board members who proposed the seminars said they are intended to de velop a questioning attitude in freshmen. ' VARIETY TEACHING They are not to teach a set of facts or a particular piece of knowledge, but how to go about acquiring any desired knowledge. The classes will meet twice a week with one or two upperclass leaders; note taking will not be dis couraged, and each fresh man will be required to keep a journal for entries at the end of each discussion. The students, in propos ing these seminars, de scribed the freshman year as "a dismal and drudgery filled experience." OPEN SEMINARS The college board chose student-led seminars be cause "freshmen will open up more with another stu dent than with a professor. They still have their pre vious conception of a pro fessor as an infallible source of knowledge," and "the leader is exploring the topics with tp" students and W an lookini lor aanoaa la ttwir i rmor rar or on r adnata program, he sreald Use u ssrk Is chili I ranni uewt.

The faculty will limit each class to 10 stu dents. STUDENT BENEFIT The formal faculty report describes the seminars as "explorations in diverse in tellectual areas." In stating reasons for instituting the seminars the report said: "In these seminars the benefits of individual in struction may be realized; independent and analytical thinking will be encour aged; new educational ex periences both in areas of study and in type of study will be made available to incoming freshmen; the im portance of intensive stu dy as opposed to extensive survey will be emphasized. "It is believed that faculty-designed and faculty-directed freshman seminars will contribute to satisfying a strongly-felt need among both freshmen and faculty for well-focused and di rected investigations in lim ited areas."
