University Gives Diplomas
To 2200 Within Past Year
Graduation. 1965 saw a total
of 2.200 students at the Uni
versity walk up the aisle and
receive diplomas at three dif
ferent times of the year.
A little over half of these
students sought and found em
ployment as of graduation
through the Student Place
ment Division.
The others went in to grad
nate school, the armed forc
es, were self-employed, mar
ried, or were undecided at
the time of graduation.
Some of the statistics for
these students at the time of
graduation from all colleges
except Teachers College are:
1535 graduates:
306 went to graduate
school at the University.
108 went to other gradu
ate schools.
11 were undecided.
123 joined the armed forces.
5 were already in the
armed forces.
25 were married and
sought no employment.
44 were self employed.
611 sought and accepted
employment through the Uni
versity's Placement Division.
127 were seeking employ
ment. Of the 600 students gradu
ating from colleges other
than Teachers College who
found employment either
through student placement or
with its help, approximately
half of them left the state.
"The balance between stu
dents who leave the state and
those who stay," Frank Hal
gren, director of placement,
said, "is pretty well fifty-fifty
except for in engineering and
graduate colleges."
He pointed out that approx
imately 65 of the engineer
ing students and 57 of the
students from graduate col
leges took jobs out of the state
of Nebraska.
Students who left the state
went to almost every other
state in the nation along with
foreign countries 'such as
Egypt, Argentina and Eng
land. "Obviously," he said, "the
opportunities for scientific
and technical personnel af-
greater outside of the state."
Nebraska, he said, just
doesn't need that many engi
neers, scientists or highly
skilled technical people.
"Places like Hallam," he
said, "can take just so many."
In the Teachers College,
which is the only college not
included in the Student Place
ment Division, approximate
ly 735 graduating students
sought jobs.
Only 40 of these students
or 298 of them left the state.
Legal Problems Hamper
Discount Card Distribution
Last year's most stirring
student government contro
versy on the University cam
pus the student discount
card operation may sodn
come to a boil again.
Kent Neumeister, president
of the Association of the Stu
dents of the University of Ne
braska (ASUN), has explain
ed that because of legai prob
lems the approximately 14,000
6tudent discount cards have
not yet been landed out to
University students.
Neither Neumeister nor
Vice Chancellor G. Robert
Ross seems to understand
exactly what the problem is,
but each said that it involved
a man named J.B. Founder,
who seems to claim some jur
isdiction or ownership of the
discount business.
Neumeister said that Four
nier had talked only once to
himself (Neumeister) and
Ross, and they weren't sure
what his claims were on the
cards, but that the cards
wouldn't be distributed until
legal counsel finished study
ing the problem.
Ross explained that Four
rier had said he was a former
student at the University and
had something to do with
starting the idea of discount
cards.
Fournicr, Ross pointed out,
seems to think he has some
jurisdiction or ownership over
the cards.
Ross said he had never
heard of Fournier before he
talked to him recently. Neu
meister did mention that
Fournier's. name had been
brought up briefly last year
in the student discount investi
gation. Fournier was mentioned
first last year when Council
President John Lydick said he
had received a phone call
from Fournier saying that the
discount cards were his pri
vate enterprise and that Bob
Kerrey, who was last year's
controversial chairman of the
cards, was his "employee."
Fournier had been asked to
submit a written statement to
the committee investigating
the cards at that time, but
apparently had not done so
until recently this year.
According to what Fournier
told Lydick at that time, he
had made Kerrey his "part
ner" because he would not be
in Lincoln and wanted Kerrey
to keep the discount cards
going.
The Daily Nebraskan
reached Fournier in Omaha
by telephone and he admitted
that he did claim some con
trol over the "discount cards.
He said the cards were or
iginally his ideas and were
his business. He again pointed
out that Kerrey was his "em
ployee." Fournier said he hoped that
the matter could be settled
in at least ten days.
The whole controversy first
began in February of last
year when the Student Coun
cil found that Bob Kerrey,
who was second vice presi
dent of the Council, was mak
ing a profit on the sale of
student discount cards to
businessmen.
He was not asked to return
to Council the money he made
and he was not removed from
his position.

Job Corps
May Locate
At Air Base
The University, in conjunc
tion with Northern Natural
Gas Co., is exploring the pos
sibility of a proposal for a
Job Corps Center to be locat
ed at the Lincoln Air Force
Base.
Vice Chancellor G. Robert
Ross, dean of Student Affairs
said that a decision on wheth
er a proposal would be made
would be upcoming in the next
two or three months.
The Job Corps training pro
gram offers a voluntary, resi
dential experience to young
men and women, ages 16-21.
Enrollment will be limited, ex
cept in exceptional circum
stances, to those who have not
completed high school and
for whom regular academic,
vocational and training pro
grams have proven to be in
adequate and impracticable.
New Students
Receive Help
Forty-five hundred f r e s fa
men. How can they be assured
that their class schedules car
ry the courses they want and
need, and how can their par
ents be convinced that each
student will be treated as an
individual?
The University attempts to
solve these problems each
year by two coordinated ef
forts called the Summer Pro
gram for New Students and
Parents and New Student Or
ientation, under the direction
of Lee Chatfield, associate
dean of Student Affairs and
director of Junior Division and
Counseling Service.
This year over 4,000 par
ents and students attended the
r2-day sessions from June 16
to August 5.
Both parents and freshmen
received tours from under
graduates of the University
and students reviewed and
adjusted their schedules with
senior faculty advisors.
"The parents, I expect, get
more good out of the program
than the students," Dean Chat
field said. "They are amazed
at the personal attention giv
en each new student."
The daily groups of 100-125
persons were invited so that
the number in each college
was about in the same pro
portion as the freshman class
will be.
"For instance," Dean Chat
field said, "about one-third of
each group was in the College
of Arts and Sciences."
New Student Orientation,
which actually began last
Wednesday with "moving-in"
procedures, included meetings
with advisers.
Besides the All New Student
Convocation held Friday mor
ning, some of the year's first
official social events were a
part of the program.
Cornhusker Night, featuring
a barbeque at the East Cam
pus, preceeded the All Wom
en's Meet style show.
The Frosh Hop, named the
"first social highlight of the
year," ended the official ac
tivities of the orientation pro
gram.

MAGIC
IN DIAMOND
RINGS
"T '

Yes. it almost seems like magic. Now even
a moderate-size top-quality diamond can look
incredibly large ... so impressive! All because
of its optically perfect, diamond facet-mounting
a dramatic innovation by ArlCarved.
America's largest ringmaker since 1850.
But come see for yourself. And of course all
Facettes are backed by the world famous
ArtCarved guarantee and Permanent Value Plan.
