Video teaching . . .
Continued from Pae 1
Panarelli said handouts make teaching the class
easier, but one-on-one interaction really does not
exist with television teaching.
Panarelli said he thought the camera intimidated
students somewhat. In an earlier class without
cameras or monitors, students asked some ques
tions, he said.
However, in the class that was filmed and sent to
UNO, Panarelli said, no students asked questions in
either class. He said he thought students probably
were not used to the idea yet, but would probably
adjust
The classroom also is equipped for visual aids.
Instead of using an overhead projector, the profes
sor merely puts, the visual aid on his desk and a
camera built into the desk picks up the image.
When a professor decides to use the chalkboard
for equations or notes, he can control the camera's
zooming range through buttons on his desk if the
cameraman does not do it.
Miller said the class will not always originate in
Lincoln. The teacher will sometimes be in Omaha or
another campus, so the students at the other cam
puses can meet the professor in person.
Staff members distribute tests and handouts
when the professor is at a different campus, Miller
said.

Strategies for achieving pay equity
in Nebraska were discussed at a vVoman
power" pay equity issue briefing work
shop Saturday.
"We like what we do but we do not
feel we are valued," said Jean O'Hara,
executive director of the Nebraska
Commission on the Status of Women.
"Of 427 occupations defined by the
US. Department of Labor, lOare women
dominated. These ten are: secretary,
sales worker, bookkeeper, private house
hold worker, elementary school
teacher, waitress, typist, cashier, seam
stress and registered nurse, O'Hara
said.
The Nebraska Pay Equity Task Force,
sponsored by the Nebraska Commis
sion on the Status of Women, is a
volunteer group of people committed
to the issue who want to help, O'Hara
said.
Every job has a total point ranking,
O'Hara said. "Pay equity says let's look
at how many points women's jobs
have, comparing the value to see if
they have been overpaid."
"Pay equity is the women's issue of
the '80s. A two-income family today is
really a one-and-a-half income family,"
due to unequal pay) said Kathy Collette,
who worked on Nebraska's state em
ployees wage discrimination study bill
If a state is found guilty of sex dis
crimination and it is pervasive and
intentional, the state is liable for back
pay to employees, Collette said.
Such an example occurred recently
in Washington. The state of Washing
ton was ordered to make back pay
ments to state employees probably
amounting to $600 million, Collette said.
Senators admire brevity,
desire short, sincere input
Getting the ear and the vote of a
state senator is of prime importance
for the election year, State Sen. William
Barrett said at Saturday's "Woman
power" conference at the Cornhusker
Square Convention Center.
Barrett, from Lexington, said people
should be short, concise and honest
when dealing with senators. Barrett
said that because legislators must re
view many bills in one session, sena-'
tors can be hard to reach.
Three other state senators, William
Nichol of Scottsbluff, Karen Kilgarin of
Omaha and John DeCamp of Neligh,
told the people in attendance how to
reach their senators.
Every senator has one or two people
from his district that he listens to,
Nichol said. People who wish to talk to
a senator would be wise to discover
these "peop!3 contacts," he said, and
work through them to push an issue.
Nichol said the best issues to push are
not those good only for one person, but
those good for a majority of people.
Kilgarin said she prefers to be reach
ed through personal letters that state
a concern and ask for an appointment.
Phone calls are good, she said', but not
if they bother a senator at home.
She said important issues require
time to prepare for, so it is best to
contact a senator during the interim.
DeCamp suggested voters learn all
the weaknesses and prejudices a sena
tor has against an issue. Using this
strategy, people can convince the sen?
ator to change his views in favor of
their issue, he said.
All four senators agreed the more
respected and better-heard lobbyists
are the unpaid, concerned citizens.
Kilgarin said her ' own staff does
invaluable research for her, but she
makes the final decisions. .
