MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1969 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 I m Advisory The Daily Nebraskan attempted to contact every student running for an advisory board position in the April 30 spring election. Each candidate was asked to briefly state his or her plans and ideas. Arts and Sciences Advisory Boards Natural Sciences and Math. Stef Lacey advocates the reducing of col lege requirements especially for underclared students. Requirements should also be lessened for veterinary, pre-medicine and pre-dental work. Those students spend enough time in school as it is, he said. One specific improvement Lacey favors is the addition of more chemistry classes so students without Inorganic chemistry experience may still take chemistry. Lacey is against violent demon-. c t r a t i o n saying "Riots don't actually accomplish what the students want." He feels that student meetings with the faculty would promote understanding, but that students themselves must initiate the action. Ann Triba believes there should be more communication between teachers and students. Liaison between advisory boards of different colleges should also be improved, she said. THE GRADING SYSTEM should be reviewed, Miss Triba said. A poll should be taken to determine attitudes here, and systems at other universi ties should be studied. Miss Triba thinks that the students' role in making decisions is not as great as it should be. Students should help decide changes in curriculum, grades, rules and other things that affect students. Tom Furta said there is a definite lack of communication between the advisory boards and the students. "Advisory boards cannot be expected to come up with ail the ideas for im proving their college," he said. Board meetings should be held in living units to promote better com munication, he continued. Furtak believes students have a role in expressing opinions through non administrative channels. That can be accomplished through the advisory boards. He would like to investigate a four year honor program in which students can choose their own programs. He also advocates a four-year general course in each department for non majors. GROUP REQUIREMENTS also should be investigated, Furtak said. There is no time to be wasted on use less requirements in college. Patti Austin would like to see a thorough examination of group re quirements utilizing student and faculty evaluations. "There is an Inconsistency in re quiring, at the most, one course in logic or mathematics, while the language requirments will be fulfilled when a student has completed the fourth semester college course." Also, Miss Austin would like to see student representatives on every committee, and conversly faculty on all student committees. These representatives should be allowed to take an active part in committee work. Candidate Don Stenberg could not be reached for comment. English: Janet White advocates ex pansion of the pass-fail system and the Independent study program. She also believes the proveedure for reviewing grades Is too complicated and formidable: it should be revised.

Gary Ott Ag. & Home Ec. Celesta Wiseblcod I SIP The hoard candidates dicuss plans, ideas voice in decision making. The role of the advisory boards is to advise. The better our suggestions, the more influence we wiU have," Miss White said. Miss White said she is qualified for an advisory board position because of her interest and familiarity with NU's student government. Pam Whitted does not believe that students should have complete jurisdiction over the decision making process. Students should work with the faculty and the Board of Regents, she said. Miss Whitted said she doesn't have any concrete proposals to offer at this time, but she wants to become an advisory board member and see what can be done. Her experience with both dormitories and sorities would benefit the advisory boards, she said. Jan Williams wants to improve the college of Arts and Sciences by relating it more to the, students. STUDENTS IN THE college should have the opportunity to talk to ad visory board members, she said. Miss Williams would like to work with the faculty to secure better teachers for freshman and sophomore courses. She also advocates seminars and special lectures. "People can't gripe unless they try to change the situation." Miss Williams said. "Most kids don't realize the mountains that must be climbed to overcome problems. Students don't know what can be done." Candidates Dave McKibbon and Jim Schaffer could not be reached for comment. SCHOOL OF JORNALISM, Lynn Gottsohalk wants to continue the reforms made in the registration pro cess. She believes that students should be informed on the rationale behind curriculum changes. "The language requirement, which is bothersome and disgusting to some people, should be re-evaluated," Miss Gottschalk said. The science require ment in Arts and Sciences should also be investigated, she said. THE ADVISORY BOARD should help raise the caliber cf recruiting On campus, she continued. The board should try to find substantial op portunities for people graduating with liberal arts degrees. Joseph Baldwin would like to stan dardize the requirements for Arts and Sciences. There is too much technical and ambiguous language for re quirements for majors and minors, Wanted: DAY OFF WITH NO CLASSES? Comt In and work tar Vanpowtr on your IrM dtyt.

Sometimes, he added, students find by their junior year that they must spend time taking extra courses to meet the requirements. - Baldwin sees the student role in decision making as a constant, but nonviolent one. The students must prod the administration and the faculty to evaluate what is going on, he said. Constant efforts should be exerted to look for new and better ways of doing things. A DOUBLE MAJOR in journalism and political science will help the candidate make the board more ef fective. Baldwin also cited his ex perience with arts and sciences courses as another qualification for the position. June Wagoner would try to increase pass-fail courses so that someday all Arts and Sciences students may take their requirements on a p-f basis. More individual latitude should be given in other courses, she feels. All requirements, especially language, should be re-evaluated. More and varied minors should be offered in areas such as urban pro blems, creative writing and com munications, Miss Wagoner said. Candidate Bill Smitherman could not be reached for comment. Social Sciences and Philosophy: Sara Schweider feels that the importance of the Advisory Boards depends on the creative thinking done by its members. "If people don't take the opportunity to improve, they have no one to blame but themselves for their failure," she stated. "There are so many things that could be done that peopleare simply afraid to suggest." Miss Schweider feels that interest is her most important qualification for the position. People who squawk about the system don't see the chan nels for change open to them, she said. This is a perfect opportunity to do something about it. THERE IS TREMENDOUS poten tial interest in the student body and students are not apathetic. There should also be more student control over the curriculum. Students know what they want from their education. Jim Jackson said that education in the college of arts and sciences could be Improved by the expansion of the pass-fail program to include more students. The candidate also thinks that too many courses are being taught by graduate students. The quality .of Doily Nebraskan Classified Advertising Partylana) Outdoor-Indoor partita and hayrldta.

Jackson believes that students must have more power in the decision making process. He advocates a stu dent member of the Board of Regents. Many required courses could be eliminated, Jackson said. They are simply a waste of the students' time. Jim Pipher said. "It is the students' University and the students' educa tion. Students should have a major role In the curriculum and teaching methods. PAST ADVISORY BOARDS have been weak, Pipher charged. A lot of the problem is that communication between board members and their fellow students is lacking. While not proposing any specific changes, Pipher said he would like to talk to students and get their ideas as well as their reaction to board decisions. "I have a sincere desire to com munication with students and find out what they would like to have done," Pipher said. Dave Filipi believes the advisory boards can make education more relevant to the student. His philosophy and pre-medical studies acquaint him with a wide variety of subject areas and departmental techniques, thus giving him experience for the position. Filipi said, "Students at the University can only express opinions and hope that administrators listen. Students cannot and should not replace the administration, but the two parties should work side by side to make courses more relevent and policies more agreeable." TIIE CANDIDATE WOULD like to see more support of the faculty evaulation program, an extension of pass-fail privileges and a new pro gram to allow students undeclared to take any course they want.
