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 report on racial discnmina tion at the University. 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 - W mm- "-'t.

"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 I - 11 '.- - 'If'" , ' : i . ' : - f v: i 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.
