Thursday, November 9, 1967 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Chatfield: Seminar E 1 - - minimi II in minus in ecessary xpansion i For Honors Program By ED ICENOGLE Senior Staff Writer Honors courses at t h e University have achieved limited accomplishment because of limited objec tives, according to Lee W. Chatfield. associate dean of student affairs. Although the courses have been somewhat suc cessful, Chatfield said, there is a need for expan sion. "The purpose of the hon ors courses is to increase intellectual involvement," he said, "not to provide ac celerated courses." GOALS Chatfield cited a two-fold goal established with the courses. "First of all. they are to give something more than lip-service to the very bright, interested student by recognizing his ambition in education," he said. The other goal is to en able the faculty to 1 e a r n more about teaching by working with especially in tellectually concerned stu dents. SUCCESS Proof of the honors cours es' success is the continued interest of students invited to take the voluntary cours es. Most of the honors cours es are on the freshman le vel, especially in the sub jects of English, history and philosophy. "Many of our more able freshmen are going to the so-called prestige schools." he said. "We are trying to fight this somewhat bv of fering the honors courses, which those schools also of fer. Chatfield added that in most departments the hon ors concept has not yet been applied beyond the fresh roan level. VALIDITY Robert L. Hough, associ ate dean of the college of Arts and Sciences, ques tioned the validity of the concept of the courses. "The ideas of small class es and individual attention are fine." he said, but L'loiiHiuiiiaiiiiiiiuiiiaiiiiiiiimaiitt 3 Women's hours have been extended to 12 midnight Thursday, r Nov. 9, for all campus living units. AWS voted a Tuesday to extend 5 hours so that coeds will be able to work on Homecoming displays. 9 1 Friday will be a 2 2 a.m. night in conjunc- tion with the Univer- sity of Nebraska Home- coming dance. AWS also voted to extend women's hours 5 I to 12 midnight Wednes- 5 day, Nov. 15, for the Joan Baez p e r i o r- mance. 9 jbiiimiiitiaiiiiiiiiiiioiiHiiHioiiiif? many people are beginning to re-evaluate honors cours es which only include the top students. Hough, who attended the National Collegiate Honors Conference in Washington, D.C., last month, said that the honors system is under going serious evaluation on many campuses. "The question is who are we trying to help?" he said. CHEATING OTHERS Putting select students in special classes, may cheat the other students. Hough said there are good students who are not in the honors courses but who need the stimulation offered by the top few per cent of the students often invited into the honors courses. Currently, between five and ten per cent of incoming students at the University are involved in freshman honors courses, Chatfield said. He estimated that 300 freshmen are currently enrolled in one or more of the courses. Although efforts are be ing made to eliminate extra work in honors courses, many of the teachers con duct the classes by assign ing two to three times the load of a normal course Chatfield said.

"Attitudes are changing," said Dr. Seward. "Some men and women are re jecting traditional ideas about the woman and her career." She added that "the world needs brains. This is not a man's world it is a brain's world," she told the 100 students at tending. "Three things about girls are different today," she said. These are her life span, her work expectation, and her educational require ments. She asked that students project their thoughts in the long range, noting that the life span of today's youth should encompass 100 years. A result of this predicted long life span will be that most women in the United States will work at least 25 years. Most of her 25 years of employment, Dr. Seward said, "will occur after her children leave home." Dr. Seward recommend ed that women go on to graduate school if they have the potential. She cautioned, however, against thinking of education simply as voca tional. "True education gives the tools and vocabu lary for learning. It gives us a mind liberated from preju dice and a mind adverse from insincerity and vuN garity," she said. Dr. James C. Olson, Deaa of the Graduate College not ed the delema facing a stu dent embarking on graduate school. While graduate school is a competitive, de manding area, graduate work is becoming impera tive. He said the question to ask in considering gradu ate school is, "do I have a professional sense, a com mittment to this field?"

Galvm, Chairman Motorola Inc. . 9401 West Grand Avenue - '" Franklin ParMllinois 60131 - Dear Mr. Galvin: . - - Thank you very much for your invitation to present my views on business. I hope that what i have to say will not only be representative of how students like me feel, tirt will give us a chance to resolve our differences in a constructive manner. 1 am a graduate student in engineering and I am not planning a career in business. My decision to pursue a life of teaching and research is based on a great deal of thought, introspective thought, about what kind of person want to be and how I want to spend my life. have been profoundly influenced by the value of real interpersonal relationships and demand for myself the opportunity to pursue these freely. I am also intrigued by ideas for their own sake. Thus I have chosen teaching and research as a career. In order to present my viewpoints and to mdieate why 1 do not desire a career in business I will briefly describe four main areas of concern to me which 1 witi treat individually in later letters. -"; First, 1 wonder if j would be happy as indiyidual if I were a businessman. For instance, what are my prospects for individual creativity ana" nonconformity m my first ten years as a junior businessman? I have tk? interest In making money except to be comfortabJe and I feel that making mopey for its own ake is a rather sterile and self-, centered goal. Thus how much would the dHar sign dominate rny relationships with other businessmen? . . Second, business, has enormous power to effect social change yet the emphasis seems so often to be )o make the product shinier, bigger, or more eye-catching for the sake of sales. Business is not primarily interested in social change witness our poor people stagnating in the cities and remote rural areas while millions are spent on advertising q patch the eye of the middle-income housewife. Third, if after many years of struggling upward through a company, f were finally in a position to make large-scale economic decisions could I really be the philanthropist? How would my stockholders and my board chairman react in general Jo projects of considerable social merit but small or uncertain economic return? Would J decide that my effort to attain this position of responsibility was worth it? Fourth, who is 1o decide where business will go in the future? Is business really going to be capable of undertaking fhe changes that the new generation is going to ask of if ? I feel that the real action is going to take place outside Jhe immediate sphere of business either in the government or in the academic world - .. Thank you for your ortsideration. :; --- - ' .... .,, Sincerely,--.-" "- Ralph Kimball i iaalLllllLJIllaslaB)lplilBiailBS IMIIIS WIS " .A tast vfk this paper csrrk-C a rsttef bttra V.etoreim Chairman Robert W.
