plifies the student selected for
the Daily Nebraskan's Out
standing Nebraskan Award
for this semester Larry Fro
lik:
Frolik has served the Uni
versity the past year as first
vice president of the ASUN,
president of his fraternity
Beta Theta Pi and sargeant-of-arms
of the Innocents So
ciety.
In the past he has served
ai chairman of Nebraska Un
ion talks and topics, on t h e
IFC scholarship committee
and as chairman of public is
sues committee and corres
ponding secretary of Student
Council. As chairman of pub
lic issues, Frolik compiled a

High Scholarship
Scholastically Frolik is a
member of Phi Beta Kappa,
has a 3.8 accumulative grade
average and will be graduat
ing with distinction in J u n e
after wnch he will be attend
ing Harvard Law School. He
has participated in the Eng
lish and history honors p r o
grams and was a Career
Scholar in English, his major.
Referring to the time he
has spent at the University,
he noted that one of his great
est pleasures was "talking to
people a variety of them
about what they were inter
ested in, what they think, their
values, desires, attitudes,
goals and aims."
"From talking with them
I've learned the alternatives
of life," he continued. "T h e
more people one gets to know
the more choices of values
open up and then one either
reaffirms bis own or changes
them."
The biggest accomplish
ment Frolik has made, in his
AlUUniversity
Average Is 2.3
The typical University stu
dent has a grade average of
2.380. This figure is the all
University grade average,
compiled by the Office of Stu
dent Affairs.
University fraternity men
have an average of 2.5. The
sorority women's average is
2.777.
The girls at the University
won the battle of the sexes
with an average of 2.547, com
pared to the men's average
of 2.287.
According to Richard R,
Scott, Assistant Dean of Stu
dent Affairs, a comparison be
tween the all-mens' and wom
en's averages and the all-fraternity
and sorority averages
cannot be fairly made from
these figures.
opinion, involves his work
with student government.
"Being able to work on
projects significant in them
selves is important," he said.
"Then one isn't just shuffling
papers."
Projects like the pass-fail
system, the foreign student
housing study and the study
of discrimination on campus
are such projects, he contin
ued. "If one gets something done
which effects a change on the
campus which in turn affects
the students themselves, then
a project is significant," Fro
lik stressed.
The main project ahead of
student government, as he
saw it, is in the area of edu
cation. "The main thing is making
education meaningful to t h e
average student," he stressed.
"The main thing is making
the curriculum meaningful."
In his year as ASUN first
vice president, Frolik was
primarily impressed "by the
- - f
emergence of a left wing on
campus."
He accounted for this emer
gence by commenting, "Well,
it is nationally an in-thing and
Davidson and Spangler (or
ganizers of SDS) helped con
siderably." "There is always a g r o u p
like that around a campus,"
he continued, "but it wasn't
committed to anything until
this year. The movement at
tracted many younger s t u
dents who needed to feel as
part of a group, yet were
repelled by the idea of the
bourgeousie."
He added that ifcese so
called radical groups were
"good in the sense that they
stirred up the campus and
made it think. 1 believe they
started a lasting trend al
though maybe the groups will
not be lasting as such."
Of his greatest regret on
leaving the University, he
said, "I really haven't learned
as much as I'd like to. I have
accumulated a great number

"Being president of my
fraternity was perhap sthe
most meaningful experience,"
he said. "It was a great re
sponsibility and was tremen
dously rewarding work
ing with so many people I
felt close to."
The most challenging ex
perience, Frolik noted, was
serving as vice president of
ASUN in its first year of ex
istence. "We tried to set up the
committee structure and
work on the project angle as
wen," he said. "Both Kent
(Neumeister) and myself were
basically fountain-heads of
ideas especially in the fall."
As to the future of ASUN,
he commented, "Unless it
gets involved with the aca
demicfor instance by show
ing concern and advising
ASUN will never be an influ
ence." "There are only a limited
number of 'make-work' proj
ects that can be undertaken,"
Frolik added. "Every year
certain areas are exhausted."
He said that he would dis
agree with previous Outstand
ing Nebraskans "who urged
everyone to get into every
thing."
Getting the proper perspec
tive, he stressed is just as im
portant.
"Too many people worry
about filling all their time
with meetings simply so they

can seem busy to them
selves," he said. "In so doing
they are not learning what
effect or lack of effect their
meetings have."
"Fine," he added, "devote
yourself to a project but take
time out to talk to people to
get the proper perspective.
We are not in the world; we
are on campus.
"And what we do will not
have an impact on those out
side," Frolik continued. "The
University is sort of a gigan
tic playground for young
adults and Phi Beta Kappa is
much more important than
Innocents."
"Remember," he stressed,
what Socrates said the pur
pose of knowledge is to know
one's self."
To paraphrase his letter of
nomination because of what
he is and what he has done,
Larry Frolik is an Outstand
ing Nebraskan.
