Proposal changes options
for freshman registration
Dy G corns Phi!I!3
The director of admissions and
advising said Wednesday at an ASUN
meeting that a possible registration
change would require incoming fresh
men to either attend New Student
Orientation in the summer or register
for classes during general registration
instead of mailing in pre-registration
packets.
Al Papik said he also wants to help
high school students register, rather
than letting them choose classes them
selves. UNL should try to get represent
atives from the different colleges
involved in this effort, Papik said.
The changes should personalize reg
istration and improve efficiency Papik
said. Making the adjustment to college
life easier could help decrease the 27
percent drop out rate between fresh
man and sophomore years, Papik said.
He said the statistics were compiled in
a study by Chancellor Massengale.
The program should eliminate fresh
man registration frustrations because
students would receive academic coun
seling from advisers in their college.
The advisers could review students'
records and dscide which courses stu
dents should take. Currently, 20 per
cent of new students have incorrect
academic programs because they
changed their majors by the time they
enroll, Papik said. Incoming freshmen
also have their schedules returned as
incomplete 52 percent of the time
because of scheduling conflicts, Papik
said.
Area paper screams
for more readers
following first issue
Because it is imperative that people's thoughts
and beliefs be heard, the Siren newspaper was born,
according to Eric Shanks, the newspaper's pro
ducer. Shanks said the newspaper began as a literary
magazine, produced by he and a few friends with
ideas they wanted in print.
"Through essays, poems, and short stories, the
special quality I Ve observed in my friends through
the years can be enjoyed by as many people as we
can reach," Shanks said.
The second $1 issue cf the Siren currently is on
sale at 14 bookstores and newsstands. The last issue
was free, Shanks said.
"This issue we are charging the outrageous price
of $1 simply to see how many readers we have," he
said. "Now that I know that so many people will read
the Siren, the next issue will be half the cost."
Getting the paper distributed for readership and
response is the paper's most important goal now,
Shanks said. Shanks said that after six days of dis
tribution to newsstands and bookstores, 25 percent
of them sold. . -
However, Shanks said that distribution is a prob
lem. "I'm very dissatisfied with the local news agency
because they will not distribute my paper because
they say it's not sellable," he said. "Here is a local
enterprise that could serve another local enterprise
yet refused to support it for purely economic
reasons." '
Most of the writers of the Siren do not know each '
other, Shanks said. Two of these are UNL professors,
he said. The paper abo receives many of its stories in
the mail, he said. Most of the artwork is done by
hand and Shanks puts in photographs for beautifl
cation, he said. .
About half of all incoming freshmen
now attend orientation, Papik said.
Since the program would eliminate the
option of mail-only registration, orien
tation attendance should increase, he
said.
Enrollment also might be increased
with this program. UNL admits about
6,000 students a year. Of those, about
4,000 actually enroll, Papik said,.
Massengale and UNL collegedeans
have given support to the idea in prin
ciple but have requested more infor
mation on specific funding and pro
gram changes, Papik said.
Senators raised concern about the
NSO attendance requirement, saying it
could create a hardship for students
who live far away from Lincoln or have
summer work conflicts.
Papik said he agreed that hardships
may arise but said students can afford
one day to start off right in college. He
also said Nebraska is the only Big Eight
college that has mail-only registration.
In other business, ASUN passed a
resolution making the Nebraska vs.
Colorado football game the 1934 Migra
tion Game, which ASUN and Corncobs
members attend together.
Another resolution that the senate
passed supports the planned expan
sion of student legal services to include
litigation services. President Mark
Scudder said the expansion had the
support of the Nebraska State Bar
Association.
The senate approved 21 appoint
ments to various councils, committees
and boards.
