Last year, the Journalism and English Depart- ments combined to offer the four year major in Writiiug program. Until then, journalism students could take only a two-year certificate course at the University. The other large advancement last year was the enlarging and remodeling of the Student Publicaf tions offices, which also serve as two modernly- equipped journalism laboratories. presenting interviews, plays and newscasts, while getting a realistic view of the problems of radio production. At the beginning of the fall semester, two other local stations invited the University to pro- duce weekly programs. The Your University program began its weekly 9:30 p.m. Monday airings on KOH. dur- ing the latter part of September. Students previewed coming events, and faculty members gave opinions and interpreted current problems. In November, the University began a similar series each Sunday at 6:45 p.m. over KOWH. Faculty members discussed current problems, reviewed books, and gave advice to Omahans. In February, Assistant Music Professor Rich- ard E. Duncan, who conducts both the Omaha and the University Symphony Orchestras, took to the Wednesday morning KOWH air with a musical appreciation program. The airing was patterned after the late Walter Damrosch's educational music program, and Mr. Duncan aimed at plenty of variety-from sym- phony to be-bop. The variety on all of the University programs and the number on the air showed the success of the objectives of the University in the fifth estate. Many students were working part time at local radio stations and several graduates held positions in broadcasting. 2 T-E-1-Y-525-Z1'fQi-2-:Jil-H-71114-gvz-111-2-1-1-1-'MAJ-T Q-ivffz-fiiffa-z'1-1'2-1-1-kg-5-1-1-1-5+i-1-1-5.-1-LQH-5,-1-if 1.725-'Z 51

THE FOURTH ESTATE we pfedb The issue was two issues, said Gateway Ed- itor in Chief Bob Seitzer when he told why the Fourth Estate of the University couldn't remain static while the rest of the University programs and departments grew. And the two issues were the regular Tuesday and Friday editions of The Gateway, the second college newspaper in Nebraska to be published more than once a week. Two issues for the staff were keeping up with the news in a rapidly expanding University and allotting more of their time and energy to The Gateway.

Last April, students took over Radio Station KBON for one full day of oper- ations. From the time student Warren Wittekind went on the air with the early morning news, until midnight when Wit- tekind, Ralph Carey and Jack Katz signed the station off the air with a recorded program, students had a hand?-and a voicefin most of KBON's programs for the day. As a result of the work done by the University's journalism students in rewriting the news, the station asked three of them to help cover the April pri- mary elections. Alumnus Joe Baker, KB- ON promotion manager, said the first success meant OU-KBON Day would be an annual affair. This year, on March 22, students took over the station for the second year-

Dr. Nell Ward, professor of chemistry, was named head of the department, created be- cause of increased enrollments, particularly by pre-medical, pre-dental students, and chemistry majors, along with the requirements of the American Chemical Society. The department held open house in Feb- ruary to show its modern and fully equipped laboratory in Room 441. egfeeff l,Uel 8 In February of 1948, with the completion of its 320,000 laboratory, the Home Economic Depart- ment onfered the degree Bachelor of Science with a major in Home Economics. Previously, students had been limited to two-year associate titles. The new four-year program provided technical training in both foods and clothing. Last December the Graduate Committee instituted the degree Master of Science in Education. It will be awarded upon completion of certain graduate programs in the field of professional education. Two of the new degrees offered by the University since january, permit music and art majors to take more than forty credit hours in their major fields. The new degrees authorized by the College of Arts and Sciences are the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music and the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art. In March, the University became one of seven universities in the United States to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, with a specialization in Real Estate. The University added three courses to its curriculum to establish the major. They are Real Estate Law, Real Estate Develop- ment and Management, and Real Estate Appraisals. In line with the higher objectives brought about by an expanding University of Omaha, several other departments were awaiting approval by the Regents of new degrees, as the Tomahawk was com- pleted. 32
