Journalism se
By TBeresa Forsman
The excellence program has allowed UNL's School of
Journalism to start a small, high quality graduate program
and to maintain and improve the present quality of its
nationally-recognized undergraduate program in the face
of large enrollment increases, according to R. Neale Copple,
director of the journalism school.
"We have been slow about going into graduate work,"
Copple said, "because we have been afraid that such a step
would bleed funds from the undergraduate program and
hurt its quality."
"The excellence designation made it possible for us to
take the step and to continue to improve our present offer
ings," Copple said.
Wilma B. Crumley, vice director of the School of Journ
alism, is in charge of organizing the graduate program. The
school accepted its first graduate students this year.
The Legislature appropriated $75,000 last year for the
graduate program and $25,000 in excellence money this
year for the undergraduate program.
Instruction increased
The money was used to increase instruction at both the
graduate and undergraduate levels and to obtain support
staff for both programs, Copple said.
Copple emphasized that the school is not necessarily
hiring instructors only for the graduate program.
"Our philosophy is," he said, "that in all likelihood no
professor will devote full time to teaching graduate courses.
We think both the teaching and the students are better
served by people who are contributing to the undergraduate
program as well."
Copple said the school has one of the best journalism
teaching staffs in the country. Their talents need to be used
where the state will gain the most benefit.
Excellence money also was used to increase the "impos
sible operating budgets" of the school's newspaper and
radio station, Copple said.

Neal Copple, Director of the School of Journalism
lished twice weekly by the journalism school and includes
work done by students in reporting, editing and photogr
phy classes.
KRNU is the UNL's radio station which provides labora
tory experience for broadcasting students.
Copple said he has not totally committed all the excel
lence funds on a permanent basis in order to reduce the
consequences of an unforeseen budget cut.
The new graduate program was originally planned to
accept 12 full-time students and 12 part-time students. Be
cause of the high quality of students applying for the pro
gram, Copple said, the school accepted 13 full-time and 23
part-time students into its first-year graduate program.
Expansion to be discussed
Copple said he will discuss expansion of the graduate
program with the visiting evaluation team this year.

Students are admitted into the graduate program on the
basis of samples of their work, their transcript, and their
reasons for wanting to enter UNL's journalism graduate
program. Applicants are not required to take the Graduate
Record Exam, Copple said, because studies have shown the
test is not a reliable indication of how well a student will
succeed in graduate school.
There are approximately 850 journalism majors at UNL.
This represents an eight per cent increase over last year's
enrollment.
In 1972, the total number of undergraduate journalism
majors jumped 54 per cent over the previous years.
Journalism students have the option to major in the
news-editorial broadcast or advertising sequences. Also,
students in teachers, agriculture or home economics col
leges may cross-enroll in the School of Journalism.
