The second and third steps,
he said, were mostly done but
the first step was proving
'the most dificult." There was
no discussion on the report.
Robert Knoll submitted a
sketchy report on the "Cen
tenial College", which has
been in the planning for three
years and is scheduled to go
into operation on, an experi
mental basis next fall.
KNOLL
j
DESCRIBED
the
college as "a live-in, learn-in
situation", a sort of residen
tial college. He said it should
be small at first 'about 120 to
150 students" perhaps to be
held at Selleck, or somewhere
else the students could live
and hold classes.
He proposed four or five
fulltime people to live with the
students, with four or five
other part-time professors and
a massive "visiting lecturer"
program from the rest of the
University.
There were a few questions,,
but Knoll said he had no spe
cific answers yet as to selec
tion of either professors or
students.
In other action, the Senate
approved institution of a
Teaching Council to "encour
age and co-ordinate experi
ments in teaching at all
levels," and gave approval to
addition of 95 new courses and
deletion of 44 others.
One day and $13 million
The Nebraska Union

Tuesday as the assets of the
University of Nebraska

The $13 million is invested

Student
nome o
fees support Union,
f various activities
by Susie Jenkins
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The Nebraska Union, a
solid and newly-faced building
on the city campus, is the
center nearly for all student
extra-curricular activity at
the University.
A part of each student's
fees automatically is set aside
to support Union programm
ing and upkeep. Union room
space and facilities are
reserved first for students,
faculty and University af
filiated groups. A large part
of Union business is centered
on food service both daily in
the cafeteria and for special
groups.
Blf IT is rare to find a
University student who is
aware of all of the many
services provided in the
Union. Or that $4.50 from his
student fees is. earmarked
specifically for Union pro
grams that he may not know
exists.
"I hate to say there is a
communications problem
between the Union and the
students, but that's probably
what it boils down to," said
Hal R. Smith program direc
tor for the Union who began
his duties at the beginning of
the semester.
"Our advertising is getting
better;' and i think we are
finally getting information
about Union programming to
the student living units," he
said.
THE INFORMATION on
available events and planned
programs comes from one of
the eight existing City Cam
pus Union committees, ac
cording to Sid Logemann,
present president of the Union
Program Council.
"Union committees always
try to plan programming that
will benefit the greatest
number of students,"
Logemann said. "Since we
have the privilege of using
direct. student, iees, we have
the responsibility of using
their money as they would
want us to use it."
The eight committees are
budgeted according to their
needs and requests made at
the beginning of the iiscal
year, according to Jody
Parker, Union Program
council secretary-treasurer.
AW STUDENT has the
opportunity to work on one of
the Union committees.
Chairmen and assistant
chairmen of the committees
are chosen yearly for a term
running from January to
January, Parker said.
The eiyht programming
committees are:
Special Events, which
works through booking agen
cies to bring "big name"
talent to the University. The
committee is expected to pay
for itself through profits made
on ticket sales. Any excess
f unds are put into a genera
fund to pay for Union projects
which do not make money.

local theatre. In addition, the
committee sponsors "week
end films" of recent American
vintage shown in the Union,
and special showings of films
on particular subjects.
THE COMMITTEE recently
sponsored part of the series,
"Films on Human Un
derstanding." Contemporary Arts Com
mittee brings print displays to
the Union, backs a student art
and artifacts sale, a
photography contest, and
decorates the Union for
Christmas.
The Union Hospitality
Committee is the planning
body for the Miss University
of Nebraska pageant. They
assist in conduction for the
Nebraska Ten Best-Dressed
coeds competition, and
sponsor various other recep
tions and functions for Union
oriented groups.
Talks and Topics is the
sponsor for Hyde Park, a
forum which takes place in
the Union lounge on
Thursdays. The committee
also sponsors a speakers
series, and this year took over
from ASUN the main duties of
Model United Nations and the
World in Revolution con-
fence.
THE MUSIC committee
this year started the Univer
sity's first fine arts series, a
subsidized concert series with
such artists as Ella Fitz
gerald, Ravie Shankar and
Byron Janis. This committee
also sponsors the spring and
fall outdoor , jazz concerts.
Trips and Tours provides
cheaper rates and travel
package deals for students
from the University. The
committee sponsors the an
nual Union ski trip, trips to
football bowl games, and a
summer European flight.
The Publicity Committee
works with all seven other
commutes, planning ad
vertising for Union projects,
and also publishes the
Freshman Pamphlet which
explains basic Union func
tions to incoming freshmen.
SELECTION OF chairmen
and assistants for these com
mittees are made from
students who have served on
the committees for at least
one semester, Logemann
said.
The body which selects
them is the Union Program
Council, a group of five area
directors and three officers
who advise committees and
decide the general direction
of Union programming. The
Program Council in turn is
selected from students who
have served at least one year
on & union committee, as a
chairman, assistant or
worker.
Logemann admits that this
system could tend toward
neXitism, since interviews
are the only means of selection.

deavors as (fronm left) Carol Jensen, Hal Smith,

Robert Ross and the Student
Affairs staff, according to
Logemann.
"There is a big problem in
student affairs since all those
departments need equal at
tention from Ross and he do
esn't have sufficient time to
grant all of them," Logemann
said.
''Grouping of' like
departments within Student
Affairs would be helpful, but
regrouping could easily
change the entire function of
union programming in rela
tion to other campus organiza
tions," he said.
THREE BASIC student ac
tivities structures used on

placing of all student ac

remove the programming
division of Union from the
direction of the Union Direc
tor, Allen H. Bennett.
Logemann said that nothing
has yet been decided as to
whether or not such a change
will be made in the
University's student activities
area.

"HOWEVER, We select on
the basis of ability, and the
potential council member's
concept of the role of Union in
the University," he said.
Program director Smith
also functions as an unofficial
advisor for other groups on
campus.
"When the Union is involv
ed with the total campus
community, we should be
ready to deal with the entire
campus," he said. "Most of
the time, however, the staff in
Union programming spends
its time with Union com
mittees." In addition to the program
director. Union funds hire two
assistant program managers
and a fulltime secretary to
take care of programming

A RECENT development in
the role of Union programm
ing for the university is the
questioning of potential
change in the structure of the

said E,dward J. Hirsch, vice
president.
THE NEW offices are in the
northwest corner on the
second floor of the Union,
next to the new Alumi Of
fice. "This will allow us to
work more closely with the
Alumni Office," Hirsch said.
Of the 13,000 donors who will
contribute more than $3 mil
lion to the Foundatation this
year, 11,000 are alumni, he
continued.
The new faculties include a
walk-in safe for handling the
donations, a mailroom and a
storeroom.
The University of Nebraska
Foundation is a non-profit
organization chartered under
the state statutes and exists
solely for the benefit of the
University of Nebraska,
Hirsch said. The Foundation
solicits private funds,
recevices the funds and ad
ministers these funds. AU
private support of the
University comes through the
Foundation, he continued.
"WE ARE not paid or sup
ported by the state or the
University," the vice presi
dent added.
"We give the University
more than $1.5 mUlion a year
in benefits from donations,"
Hirsch continued.
The benefits include nearly
$100,000 in scholarships to
some 1,100 students and low
interest loans totaling $140,000
to some 200 students.
Distinguished teaching
awards of $1,000 a year,
research projects, financial
assistance to Morrill Hall and
Sheldon Art Gallery and
fellowships are also supported
by the Foundation.
IN 1936 Chancellor C. A.
Burnett and prominent
Nebrraska businessmen
formed the Foundation. The
Foundation in 1942 hired the
first full-time staff member,
Perry Branch, who served as
executive secretary until 1963.
Branch moved into 106 Love
Library in 1947 with assets of
$42,000, as compared with $13
million today, Hirsch said.
Other full-time staff
members besides Vice Presi-
richer
dent Hirsch include Harry R.
Haynie, president, Herb M.
Potter, Jr., secretary and
assistant treasurer and
William Bowers, development
officer.

You'll never get anywhere without it.
Nothing helps a young engineer's
career like being given a challenge.
Which is another way of saying a chance
to jail now and then. To make his own
mistakes.
At Western Electric we give our newly
recruited engineers responsibility almost
immediately. They make their own de
cisions. Learn from their own errors.
Don't get us wrong. We keep our
demands reasonable enough so that our
recruits can make their decisions at their
own pace. But our thinking is, a man
feels awfully good about even a small
decision when it's his.
If you're the type who'd like the chance
to make your own moves, see our recruiter
or write College Relations, 222 Broad

A lot of hard work never hurt anyone.
