"Any meeting (of students and Regents) would have to be very orderly," Raun said. "A meeting could turn into a free-for-all or a shouting matching and nothing would be accomplished. Precautions would have to be taken" if the Regents were to meet the students in a open forum, Raun said. Raun added he doesn't ex pect to attend the "Time Out" meeting because it is scheduled too close to election day and .his campaign schedule is full. Experimental college non-competitive Initial tri-study program part of total curriculum Continued from page 1 The need for the Ex perimental College was ex plained in the official pro- posal. "The state of con temporary universities is clear: students who think themselves lost in a mass, studying subjects they feel to be irrelevant in an institution so large it inspires neither affection nor intellectual curiosity. "Like all institutions the University must be constantly renewed ... it must modify itself. The Experimental Col lege is such an attempt at modification." Curriculum of the College would be general and not in competition with major re quirement areas, Hobson said. The College would be only part of a student's total program. Students would still receive a degree from a regular college in the University. ... COURSES IN the College would be generally in terdisciplinary, flexible, and loosely structured, according to the official proposal. The proposal has divided the freshman student's year into three basic areas of in vestigation. The first one-third of the year would be devoted to "contemporary ideas in his torical perspective." The stu dent would be introduced to many of the conventional areas of specialization such as anthropology, philosophy and the arts. A second third of the year should be spent on an "in troduction to science in its historical and philosophical contexts." In this investiga tion the student should learn the kinds of questions science can and cannot answer and the nature of scientific proof and methods. The last third of the student's time should be pend on either a "linguistic or mathematical language" also in its historical and philosophical contexts.

"I much prefer them (students) to send a committee of their people to the Board, and I wish they would," he said. Adkins told the Nebraskan that he won't attend "Time Out" because of a previously scheduled appearance at an American Legion function in Neleigh. Sdhwartzkopf said he will not attend because he is campaigning for passage of Amendment One to give 19-year-olds the vote and because he doesn't believe he could make a contribution to the event. lee. As he progressed through his junior and senior years, less and less wore would be takne in the College, depending on the changing needs of students, the pro posal said. However the Col lege would still remain his "home." While the official proposal indicated that 200 students would participate in the Col lege its first year, Hobson said he personally favors only 100 the first year. The pro gram, if successful, could be easily expanded, he pointed out. Students would be invited by the University to participate in the College, Hobson said. It would not be for honor students alone. Ideally, the College students should represent a cross sec tion of University students. According to the official proposal, students should live in co-educational dormitories where common class and study rooms are provided. To minimize isolation from the general university, They would eat in a general dining rooms with students not in the Experimental College. HOBS 0N E1UPHASIZED that a common living unit is desirable, but not contingent to the operation of the Ex perimental University. In the future, the College could enlarge, depending on the success of the pilot ex periment, Hobson said. A number of other institu ANYTIME IS POPCORN TIME!

"The timing is very poor," he added, "and it seems to me you ought to have the program pretty well laid out at this stage, but this letter didn't indicate that." Schwarzkopf said he would be willing to appear at an open forum before students. "My records shows that." He suggested that the idea of taking a day out of class for a series of seminars, as "Time Out" is designed, is not "the best thing for education." "The best thing for educa tion on that day would be to be where? In classes," he said. tions are pursuing ex perimental colleges of various types. Within the last decade universities have undertaken experiment which they hope will close the widening psy chological gap between stu dents and faculty, the propo sal said. Florida State and Michigan State have grouped students in small residential units on the live and learn concept. The University of the Pacific and the University of California at Santa Cruz are attempting to break up the large university into in dependent cluster colleges. In nearly every experiment throughout the United States, efforts are being made to combine living and cumcular experiences. With the Experimental College will come special costs, Hobson said. Faculty members especially will have additional demands made on their time. Costs will be somewhat different than in the ordinary University, he said. Funds should also be available to the Master for visiting lecturers, temporary residents, special programs and the like, the proposal noted. "The University currently has some resources for these additional costs," Hobson said. "However, the financial situation will be better understood after a detailed program has been outlined." caramel corn cheese cor popcorn balls caramel apples cold drinks ice cream CLIFTON'S CORN CRIB AcroM from VolkuratMi 1150 No. 48th coj New standOUT pocket-model reference marker by Eberhard Faber makes words, titles, numbers, and main points stand out.

In varsity competition the team of Stuart Sorensen and Walter Dean won 4 and lost 3 matches before aemg eliminated, while Ken Wald and David Urbach won 3 and lost 3 before bowing out, ac cording to Dr. Donald Olson, debate director. At Omaha, eight novices were split into units, Olson said. The first unit won 6 and lost 0 in earning first place, while unit two won 4 and lost 2 and placed second, he add ed. Next week a group of four teams will compete in another tournament at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Olson said. In varsity competition, Olson reported that the team will travel to Emporia, Kan. for a national tournament. 4 & 8 TRACK Cartridges recorded Sound City 4327305 144 So. 9th Engineering and Science at IBM "The interdisciplinary environment keeps you technologically hot" ''Working in data processing today pretty much; means you work in a broad spectrum of tech nologies,"says Nick Donofrio. An Associate Engineer at IBM, Nick is a 1967 graduate in Electrical Engineering. He designs circuits for MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) technology. "Circuit design used to be a narrow job," he says. 'Today it can take you into the front yard of half a dozen different fields. In my job, for example, I work with systems design engineers, chemists, physicists, metallurgists, and programmers." Nick describes a hypothetical case history: "A systems guy comes to me and says my computer access time is too slow. But I believe my circuits are optimized. "So I check the actual device in the 'lab and, let's say, find that the friE curve doesn't peak supposed to. I report this who made the device, and he either gives me new data to work with or shows me something I've overlooked." Keeping up The interdisciplinary environment at IBM helps you keep up to date technologically. As Nick puts it, "You're constantly exposed to what's happening in other fields." IBM needs technical graduates to work in research, design and development, manufactur ing, product test, field engineering, and spaca and defense projects. We also need technical people in programming and marketing. Visit your placement office Sign up at your place ment office for an inter view with IBM.
