Junior Division The most progressive step of the ad- ministration this year was the advent of the newly organized Junior Division. This division under the direction of Dean Nels A. Bengston came into official operation in September, 1940. Designed to serve more adequately all new students in the University of Nebras- ka, the Junior Division provides for the ma- triculation of all new students, and the in- dividual counseling of each student with reference to his specific needs and desires. Guidance consultant work is offered the student so that he may obtain his rating with reference to different vocational skills. Terminal courses, one and two year curricula which meet the needs of those unable to complete a four year university course, are being planned by the division. It has realized the growing trend of adult education by setting up a Counselor for adult education who is equipped to plan programs to suit their specific needs with- out reference to a degree. The division is also equipped to aid students in developing reading skills and better study habits through supervision in special laboratory sections. Special inves- N. fl. BENGSTON, Director forsakes geography for freshmen. tigations of the relationship between schol- arship and university classes has been planned by the division. New in form, the Junior Division is not in principle a sudden development. The need for such an organization has long been apparent to university officials. How- ever, it was not until this year that the plan was realized. The nucleus of the organization is com- prised of the Dean of the Junior Division and the Board of Counselors, ten men each representing a different field of interest. Professor Stepanek, acting under the new advisory system, aids two freshmen in registration. Paul Svoboda conducts campus tour for freshmen. [23]
