Present attitudes of many of
today's students indicate that the
pursuit of a liberal arts, fine arts
or science degree i3 not a worth
while effort.
But a group of students in
UNL's College of Arts and Scien
ces are working to tackle this
belief and strengthen the college
through its input
The College of Arts and Scien
ces Student Advisory Board, an
organization of interested stu
dents in the college, want to stress
"the importance, usefulness and
variety of a degree from the col
lege, said Maggie Shaffer, a senior
political science major and pres
ident of the organization.
To accomplish this, the organi
zation works with the dean, assist-1
ant deans, department chairmen
and faculty to publicize and sug
gest improvement in college offer
ings, she said.
One means of publicity is a
newsletter, published two to three
times a semester, designed "to
emphasize the diversity in the
college" by showing highlights
from the college's departments,
she said. Another means is a col
lege course description booklet
published each semester and dis-
The following incidents were
reported to UNL police between
11:11 am. Thursday and 11:13
p.m. Saturday.

visory Board promotes

tributed in residence halls and
other places.
Board members also get some
representation on the various col
lege faculty committees, Shaffer
said. For example, two board
members are on both the curricu
lum and grade appeals commit
tees, she said. Although these
members do not wield large vot
ing power because of their small
number, they serve ai an impor
tant liaison between faculty
members and students, she said.
In addition to the liberal arts
and sciences, the board works to
promote the fine arts. To remedy
what Shaffer thinks is "not as
much appreciation of fine arts as
there could be," board members
have helped publicize perfor
mances and exhibitions in Kim
ball Hall and elsewhere on cam
pus through posters and an
nouncements. Board members
have even ushered some of the
performances to add emphasis
to their effort.
Other recent activities of the
board include, holding seminars
for high school seniors who axe
thinking about enrolling in the
College of Arts and Sciences, bring
ing in speakers for lecture ses
sions and addressing the prob
lem of ensuring the adequate
communication skills of foreign
between 15th and 16th streets.

Shaffer said future plans for
the board may include trying to
initiate something such as B-Week
and E-Week in the business and
engineering colleges. An "A&S
Days," as Shaffer coined it in her
illustration, should offer a lot for
the many different majors in the
college instead of, for example,
just emphasizing activities for sci
ence majors, she said.
A more immediate goal is
membership. Shaffer cited a
membership increase from about
10 students a few years ago to 22
students presently. Although she
stated a desire for more members,
she added that she did net want
the board to grow' too fast in
order to keep the organization
efficient. -
" Membership is acquired on the
Student Advisory Board by either
being elected an Arts and Scien
ces ASUN senator or by attending
four meetings, in addition to meet
ing the requirements of being a
full-time Arts and Sciences under
graduate and receiving board
membership approval
Meetings are tentatively sche
duled for every three weeks, she
said, and are open to anyone
interested regardless of whether
or not they are Arts and Sciences
students, Shaffer said.

The university changed its pol
icy after receiving a letter from
Michael Wagner of the Associated
Press Sports Editors Association.
Wagner reminded the university
of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling
that requires equal access for
female reporters. Wagner's letter
wa3 reportedly prompted by the
fact that three female corespon
dents will cover Big Eight games
for the Kansas City Star this sea
son. Sittler said he's unhappy with
Dale Bye, sports editor for the
Kansas City Star, and Wagner,
who has the same title at the Des
Moines Register.
"Here are people setting behind
desks in Kansas City and Des
Moines, who never even go out
and cover a game, and they're
creating problems for me, hinder

said.
Fans and parents of the play
ers also were denied entrance to
the locker room Saturday.
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne
said he thinks the players appre
ciated the privacy and he appre
ciated the time saving aspect of
the interview room.
Chuck Poole, publications co
ordinator for the Sports Infor
mation office, was in charge of
getting the players to the room.
Poole said he thinks women
reporters had "a legitmate gripe"
when they weren't admitted to
the locker room. Poole said the
university chose barring everyone
from the locker room over allow
ing women equal access because
of several factors, including
Osborne's strong opposition to
having women in the locker room.
