NU is scheduled for a re-accreditation visit this year
by the North Central Association of Colleges and Second
ary Schools, and should have no trouble getting re
accredited, according to Steven Sample, NU executive
vice president for academic affairs.
"I think North Central wi3 be pleased with the uni
versity,"' he said. I foresee no major problems in being
re-accredited.'
The university was lad visited by North Central in
1971, when its accreditation was provisionally extended
for five years.
One reason given for the provisional accreditation was
inadequate doctend programs, a problem Sample said
the university has been working to correct.
"Graduate and doctoral programs have been strength
ened," he said. MA cumber of graduate programs have
been consolidated, and the focus of several doctoral
programs has been narrowed. I think we're in a stronger
posllssn than we were in 1971 .
Sample said he is more concerned about university
program thai are subject to accreditation by various pro-'
y
DTGSGQSI 001
fessionel organizations than with the overall re-accreditation.
"... rktheraof accredits grsscps
The number of professional accrediting bodies is
increasing," he said. Ve find ourselves with this plethora
of accrediting groups setting ever higher standards inde
pendently of each other," he said. "Our problem is try
ing to keep up."
Sample said the Dental College and the undergraduate
programs of the University of Nebraska Medical Center
will be evaluated this year by their respective accredit
ing organizations. The law college was evaluated last
spring, he said.
As to the overall university re-accreditation process,
the evaluation procedure is broken into two parts. The
first consists of a self-study cf the institution being re
evaluated system-wide the State University of Nebraska
idlting team. . - '
Sample said self-studies of fire divisions of the univer
sity are being done this fall in preparation for visits by
North Central accrediting teams. The divisions are UNL,
the medical center, the graduate program, which is being
y yyjyyy u
evaluated system-wide. The State University of Nebraska,
and the overall NU system. -
Graduate program
' Graduate course offerings are included and evaluated
under their respective divisions. Sample said, while the
entire graduation program is evaluated separately.
Sample sax? UNO has completed and filed its self
evaluation and will be visited by a team from North
Central this fall.
" The self-studies are being coordinated by Ned Hedges,
UNL assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs. Hedges
said other parts of the university, including the state
museum and the university press, also will be studied.
Hedges said the deadline for the reports is Dec. l.but
said he expects a rough draft of the UNL report will be
finished soon after No v. 1.
The report wiH be made available to the UNL com
munity for suggested changes or additions before it is
sent to North Central, Hedges said.
Although a date has not been set for North Central's
UTL visit, Hedges sail it .would probably be sometime in

The deaths have left many students with questions
concerning the inoculation program, Martin said.
To answer those questions, the Student Council on
Health and the Union Program Council will present a
Swine Flu seminar at 330 pjn. Vednesday in the Neb

Dr. Paul Stosez, state director of communicable dis

Martin also will be present to acquaint students with
a campus inoculation program scheduled to begin early
in November.
The m3Sft immunisation- program began two weeks
ego with the faQr!-ii of the lugh risk population
(those over 65 or the chronically ill). This group is most
vulnerable to death from swine flu, officials said. .
- The first of the 24 deaths alter the flu inoculation
occurred Tuesday in Httsburgh, when three residents, all
more than 70-years-cId with histories of heart or lung
trouble, died after receiving the flu shots.
Two additional deaths occurred elsewhere in Penn
sylvania, and one in Florida. AH of these inoculated were
reported as receiving shots from one particular lot of
vaccine.
Eighteen other deaths were reported in Michigan,

Reports said those persons were vaccinated with a dif
