Study Aids Initiated ...
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.

NEW PROGRAMS
In the area of counseling
Williams said that several
new programs are in effect.
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. Williams

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.

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

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

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

the lengthy negotiations
they have undergone with
Wilson.
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

"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. Tuesday: The IDA Circus
