Shapiro, who was born in Baltimore, explained that he nee got into trouble by call ing the Midwest "a cultural desert" to an Eastern re porter. "There was an editorial, about it and all kinds of argu ment. The funny thing is that I was really , talking about Chicago and not Nebraska." He has been teaching Eng lish at the University for the past three years. Department Praised "The Eiigufch department here is very good," he said. "It's one of the most friendly I've ever worked in."

He added that he kept no record of his works that have been printed, "and I've been trying to find someone for a long time who would find out just what I have had pub lished!" Early Start Shapiro said that he started to write when he was "about 16." "My father used to encour age my brother and me. My brother won awards- and prizes so I guess I was just trying to imitate him." Shapiro calls T. S. Eliot "the worst influence on mo dern poetry of anyone."

Behind the anonymity of LB numbers, the story of the fate of many areas of Uni versity operation lies. Off-Campus Classes One of the first measures introduced was LB30, which would authorize the Univers- gious explanation of the world because of the secientific at mosphere which pervades most secular universities, he said. File Boxes Thus many students treat religion and their college ex perience as two separate en tities, almost as if in two sep arate file boxes. They open the religious file on Sundays and other religious occasions and then during the rest of the week they go back to the col lege file as if the two were separate and incompatible, he commented. Some students, Rabbi Stein went on, don't even bother to maintain the Sunday Die but operate entirely on a mater ialistic basis. The pastor of a religious group must make available the C"nplet knowledge to show Uu. oet veen science and religion there are no conflicts.

Donald Emery, Dean of Omaha's College of Adult Ed ucation, told the Education Committee that other colleges have the right to approve the courses that would be taught in any cities having institu tions of higher learning. LB587 Similar to LB30, but more inclusive, is LB587. This bill would authorize the Univers ity to hold off-campus courses and, in addition, empowers the school to furnish instruc tion on a contract basis at junior colleges. Cost for instruction must be paid to the University, the bill specifies, and the junior colleges would also have to provide administration and building costs. LB587 has been referred to the Education Committee and no date has been set for pub lic hearing. Bolster Staffs The intent of the bill, ac cording to its introducers, is to bolster junior college staffs by providing limited instruc tional help. However, Chancellor Clif ford Hardin said the bill might conceivably be stretched far enough to allow the University to provide all teaching services at request of the two-year schools.
