Counselors Offer New Programs University Counseling Service has initiated several new programs this semester to aid students, according to Dr. Vernon Williams, counseling psychologist, and Mr. Frank Devine, member of the UCS staff. The reading improvement program has been altered from a class situation to an individual basis, Devine said. A new laboratory is under construction to initi ate this program. STUDY ROOMS Other new study aids sponsored by UCS include a study room at Abel Hall and the establishment of learn ing centers. Devine said that at the re quest of Abel residents a study room was provided which assures a quiet at mosphere for study and is available to all Abel resi dents. Devine added the counsel ing service hopes to estab lish similar rooms at Pound, Cather, and Sandoz dormitories.

The learning center pro vides a wide variety of audio-visual material, Devine said, and utilizes pro grammed learning and films. Programmed learning is a system where students use textbooks which have information in small units. After each unit there is a series of test questions and the answers are provided in the book. Devine termed the situa tion an "effective method of learning." Besides using pro grammed learning the east campus also utilizes exten sive audio-visual material, according to Devine. East campus's learning center provides students with 8 mm film projectors film cartridges, and work books. The learning center also has carels which double as film projector rooms.

Working through students, parents, and faculty UCS hopes to provide a better understanding between the groups, according to Wil liams. To accomplish this UCS is sponsoring several dis cussions which will bring counselors and small groups of freshmen together. The freshmen will discuss their experiences on cam pus and the counselors will assimilate the positive and negative reactions and sub mit them to both faculty and students. PARENT COUNSELING UCS is also making their services available to par ents. The counselors are interested in "helping par ents understand the changes which occur during the col lege years," Williams said. UCS has also instigated a faculty committee com posed of undergraduate fac ulty representatives. The committee discusses cur rent campus issues, con sidering the feelings of both students and faculty. HONORS PROGRAM UCS is also studying the honors program in the ag ricultual college.

' termed the p r o. g r a m "unique" and stated that it has no counterpart any where in the United States. Honors students at the col lege do not have to fulfill any of the basic require ments, which enables them to take more and varied courses, Williams said. The students also attend a seminar course where peo ple from the various fields of agriculture lecture on their chosen field. The students also conduct their own seminar where each member of the class presents his research paper to the group for discussion. Williams stated that "se niors felt that the seminars were the best part of the program since they came into contact with all the fields of agriculture." By this study UCS hopes to evaluate the program and see if it can be expanded, according to Williams. POTENTIAL GRADES USC has also developed tables which predict the po tential college grades of a student on his high school record. The tables are being made available to high school advisors. Williams said that the value of the tables is that incoming freshman usually don't know what to expect and this will give them a basis from which to work. 7 By MICK LOWE Senior Staff Writer If the University never gets an FM station, it won't be because Bob Wilson hasn't tried. Wilson, an upperclassman in Engineering, has spent two solitary years seeking more than . vocal support for his idea of a student operated, student supported FM station. It now appears, that Wil son is finally going to have company. Since late last spring Wil son has been negotiating with the Executive Com mittee of ASUN. REFERENDUM VOTE Although negotiations' are not completed, it now seems likely that ASUN will ap prove a referendum ques tion, to accompany the Viet nam referendum, giving students the opportunity to support the FM proposal. The question of financing, as well as the relationship between the FM corporation and ASUN, is still being discussed by the ASUN Executives and Wilson. The FM station idea started two years ago in a math class, Wilson said, where he met a member of the long-defunct group. Stu dent Organization for Gov ernmental Effectiveness. PRECEDENT The idea of an autonomous student station is without precedent, except for sev eral Ivy League schools, according to Wilson. The first in a series of long rejections came in the fall of 1965 when Dean Ross turned down the FM pro posal "for financial rea sons." Wilson spent the rest of the school year researching the problem and obtaining letters from Lincoln radio stations stating that they were not opposed to a ten watt student FM station. Ross told him to get the letters before going furth er, Wilson said. INCORPORATION In the summer of 1966 Wilson drew up the by-laws and articles of incorporation for the proposal. But he hit another road -'it fY - III'. t ; - v jt h - - - ' lA? f . . miii dnmnnfm- . If you are contemplating a career in aerospace, your next ten years are critical ones. The exposure you get to major projects, the caliber of your associates, the quality and availability of educational institutions for advanced study, and the recognition you get for personal achievements will all count heavily toward building your reputation and your income. At Convair you will find management sensitive to the importance of your personal development and you will work in an atmosphere of achievement side by side with some of the most capable people in our Industry the people who developed Atlas-Centaur and other space age he FM block in September when the Nebraska Association of Broadcasters passed a resolution against the sta tion. The resolution seemed to change the tone of the Ad ministration's opposition, Wilson said. Before, they had given him the impres sion of liking the idea, and had prefaced rejections with "unfortunately." Wilson scheduled a new series of conferences with Dean Ross, Russ Brovn, vice-dean of student affairs, and the Board of Regents. OPPOSITION STATED But in November Ross be came opposed to the idea, and stated in a public meeting that "the campus does not need a second negative voice." "By March we saw that trying to work with the ad ministration was hopeless," Wilson said. Wilson then completed the incorporation procedure and turned to private foun dations for support. But the Woods Foundation, who first seemed interested, changed their minds with the explanation that the FM proposal was not "a Regents approved activity," Wilson observed. The Ne braska Foundation also turned down Wilson's ap peal for funds. During the second semes ter of last year, Wilson also began the task of speaking to student organi zations. LETTERS RECEIVED He received letter after letter of endorsement, but no financial support. So, after last year's ASUN elections, Wilson took his case to the new senate executives. ASUN President Richard Schulze and First V i c e President Gene Pokorny are interested in the FM proposal, as indicated by Don't miss "IT" D.C.E.

They are interested be cause the FM station looks like a good idea, because at will provide a good campus-wide issue, and because, sooner or later, the propo s a 1 will have to go before the Board of Regents. If students approve the idea on the referendum, then the Regents will prob ably have to provide fi nancing from student fees. The fact that neither the Regents nor the Office of Student Affairs have ap proved the proposal should make an interesting ASUN Administration confronta tion, particularly if the pro posal receives solid student support. REALISTIC APPROACH The last two years have given Wilson a realistic outlook toward non-student politics. "Take the NAB resolu tion against us," smiled Wilson. "In 1954 they passed a similar resolution against Educational Television. LlViit Free delivery 5 Minimum order ALSO: . . . Malts, shakes, french fries, onion rings, cokes . . .

"But the University sup-" ported ETV anyway, and Nebraska now has one of the strongest ETV networks in the country," Wilson re marked. This fact led Wilson to the conclusion that the ad ministration's opposition to the FM proposal because of the resolution is merely an "excuse." REALIZATION But after two years, Wil son's idea seems several steps closer to reality. The Faculty Senate voted un animous support for the FM station. Also, the FM station will become a major campus is sue in a few weeks when ASUN receives the Execu tive Committee proposal. So, after two years, Wil son may be able to apply for a license and begin ac quiring equipment. Then he hopes to settle down to en gineering the station, which could give students a new voice and a new form of purely student-oriented en tertainment.
