Friday, October 6, 1967 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 ISews And JL JL JL fan JL M.s JL Approach By MICK LOWE Senior Staff Writer Student discontent with their educational milieu is nothing new. Cambridge University was rocked in the 1300's by student riots in which several students were killed. So students who complain about sleep-inducing lec tures or multiple-guess tests have had company for hun dreds of years. Fatal riots will probably never be a problem in this generation since most American college males are trying to avoid just that. NEW APPROACHES But what might be termed new approaches to old prob lems are being pursued by various groups of Universi ty students. Probably the most-publicized approach is aimed at the old allegation that Uni versity courses are dull and without application in ev eryday student life. The Nebraska Free Uni versity, in its second semes ter of operation, offers courses that are imminently practical now Hike the course in hitch-hiking, freight train jumping, and air hitch-hiking and courses Let Us Turn You On And Tune You In To Best In Viewing WE 0 CoiTOMMnf Sssrts Cental Star FiiuM i&m Color TVCons!, rtabl Bttck an Whit TV Consoles, o) Transistor FlotJios Ctck ft ad rot Wattle-Talkies TKPrhniilal Kit Frashltants Lincoln's only tram entertainment center Kitrcrtics Center 1245 So.

BIZARRE If your tastes run to the bizarre, you can enroll in "The Concept of the Incredi ble," which promises to ex amine Sea Serpents, Ghosts, and Flying Saucers. No one is going to accuse the course professors of low objectives, either. Father Donald Imming is conduct ing a course on theology which he titled "The Edge of Wisdom." Just about every type of established educational tra dition is going out the win dow in one course or an other. PSYCHIC The leaders of the course on Psychic Stimulants ad vise" that "films and lec tures and no required read ing are part of the course." None of the courses are meeting in University class rooms. Campus religious centers and the Cather Hall TV lounge have been deemed preferable to estab lished lecture halls by the NFU planners.

To Old Problems ganizer of this year's NFU curriculum said that the idea of the free university is to break away from the traditional topics, locations and methods of modern ed ucation. The NFU is entirely student-organized and student run, and has no connection with the University of Ne braska. Consequently the results of the NFU are being close ly observed by University educators. If enrollment and attendance is low, the NFU might be considered a failure of curiosity and init ative on the student's part. Another educational de velopment outside the class room is the "beer and pro fessor" phenomenon. Vari ous students volunteer their apartments, and invite stu dents and professors to drink beer and discuss whatever they please. FACULTY AND COFFEE The idea with FAC is es sentially the same as beer and professors, explained or ganizer Bob Ginn, "except without the beer."

By ANDY CORRIGAN "junior Staff Writer The Palladian Literary Society, founded in 1871, is the oidest organization at the University. During the early years of the Univer sity it was the most influen tial student organization, according to Univer sity commentaries. Palladian was housed in University Hall from 1871 to 1904, and during this pe riod the members "had no financial difficulties and no worries except to keep fra ternities and other inter lopers from gaining ad mission and holding meet ings," said Mrs. Geneva Black to brown. f5.M. t. W euede to lull T I O N CSS Stoddard, member of Pal ladian during this period. The fraternity-Pal rival ry began in the 1870's when Palladians amended their constitution to bar all Greeks from membership. The rivalry known as the frat-barb fights extended into all areas and was es pecially prominent in poli tics. In 1904 Palladians were asked to vacate Universi ty Hall and were sched uled to move into the new Temple Building which put STANDARD RENAULT AUiTIN-HEALEY TRIUMPH SALES - i73i -tr (rtm flow rattier, t&n. ig.Viili2UI. t vl hi GO D A R D CHRIS: MARKER BOROWC2YK 0 -..Jt . . mm-- mm m . mm -m P OLA U S K I e EC K T T 'JORDAW-BEISOM T'HW A.U T UQGUBGU S 71.

Throughout its early his tory Pal was primarily a society which engaged in oration, recitation and de bate, but in 1920 became socially oriented. At this time Pal no long er enjoyed its semi-monopoly in student activities. Monday: Today's Palla dians. MOTOR CO. PEUGEOT M6 SPRITE JAGUAR SERVICE 432-4277 i 1 "ji bMMaaj snMiAtaaa faav l
