Dave Nelsen, the president of Journal sm Graduate Student Organization said hat before the organization was formed hat there was "no plan of attack" on prob ems that faced graduate students. Nelsen said that at the first meeting that ipproximately 17 persons attended and :hat five others who wanted to come :ouldn not because of prior engagements. rhere are approximately 40 graduate stu lents in the College of Journalism. Nelsen Nelsen said that it was the first time, to his knowledge, that such an organiza tion has been formed on campus in any college or school. He said that the group's main objective was to gain "a voice in the decision making process." The main focus of this at the moment is getting graduate student representation QP the Admissions Committee for Graduate Admissions. "We want a voice in who gets in," said Nelson, "Braduate policy now is virgually open dorr." He said that the organization would also like a voice in faculty admissions.

The most negative thing has been apprehen sion on the parts of some faculty mem bers." Dr. Henry T. Price, one of the faculty "consultants" of the group said that he was "surprised" that it had taken this long to for such an organization to come into being and that "it was bout time." Dr. Price said that often "Graduate stu dents are so busy being graduate, students they feel that they don't have time for this sort of ting." He said that he was pleased that these graduate students "made time" to start such an organization. Other projects the group is planning are an evaluation of all committees in the Col lege of Journalism and so they can make recommendations on their findings this summer; a tutorial program for underg raduates and to assist faculty members during the pre-advisement. Another goal of the organization was a voice in the approval of tenure for faculty members. Nelsen said "Students know more about a professor's proficiency." Nelsen said that the organization wanted to avoid "an SGA-type affair". He said "We don't want to get involved in bureauc racy." He said that he would like to see this type of organization at other schools and colleges in the University at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Dr. Price said that such an organization could also be instituted at the underg raduate level. "We wish to raise intellectual stimulation on this campus. There are some very bright stu dents who are makin NCs in this school simply because they aren't stimulated intellectually. There are some equally bright would be smaller students who throw themselves s mentioned, Lee into their schoolwork and make ate, but it would all As, but it's still the same, goods, eggs, pre- they're turned off," said meats, bread, Nelsen. m aited drug and Nelson said that he found this and possibly fro- sort of atatmosphere "amazing."
