Student affairs offers
leadership trainin
"How do you turn people on and
what motivates them to work
together?"
This question that faces many
groups on the campus, according to
Dr. Russell H. Brown, associate dean
of student affairs.
For the past three years the Office
of Student Affairs has been operating
a program which helps groups to
answer this question, Brown said. The
program aims to help groups work
together and be more effective in
whatever they do.
He said the groups are not
sensitivity or "T-groups." They are,
instead, groups that work together to
help develop organizational skills and
better communication among
organization members.
"There is no set formula for work
ing with a group," Brown continued.
"The procedure is to sit down with
group members and determine what
the group wants to accomplish." He
explained that the program staff then
Neb. ETV
KUON to get
new home
After nearly 15 years of operation in-
basements, run-down and condemned
houses, a former grocery store and
other scattered locations, KUON-TV
and the Nebraska Educational
Television Network will finally have a
new home.
The Nebraska Unicameral over the
summer supplied 40-1 backing for
LBC5, a bill which authorizes the
Capitol Building Commission to enter
into an agreement with the City of
Lincoln for construction of a state
telecommunications building on the
East Campus.
"Naturally we are all delighted,"
remarked Ron Hull, assistant to the
director of KUON. "It's very gratify.
I'ug to see the legislature act in such a
forthright and farsighted way."
' The Unicameral recognized KUON
and the ETV network had a need, Hull
said. The new building, costing about
$3.4 million, should be ready for oc
cupancy by July 1, 1971.
The Nebraska Educational
Television Network requested money
for the new building in the regular
University budget earlier this year.
However, Gov. Norbert T. Tiemann
dumped the request.
; A separate bill, under the
sponsorship of Sen. Terry Carpenter,
was then introduced. McCook Son.
Lester Harsh was the only senator
opposing the bill on final reading.
Using revenue bonds, the city will
construct the building and rent it to
the state agency. Over a 20-year
period, rental would pay off the
building's cost, plus about $1.6 million
of bon d Interest.
This: process is not unprecedented,
Hull pointed out.
The revenue bond arrangement with
the Cit',y of Lincoln Is the same route
state government Is traveling to
secure ti new office building near the
State Capitol.
Architects planned the five-story
structure last year using $2r0,000 ap
proprlatd by the 1967 Unicameral,
Hull explained. The structure will
house all operations of KUON and the
Nebraska ETV network on the 5.7 ac
res of hind north of the Nebraska
Center for Continuing Education.
KUON-TV began operation In l!).r4 In
tho basement of the Temple liulhllng.
As operations expanded, however,
more spam was needed.
Now, KlVON Is one of the originating
stations for the Nebraska ETV
network, which covers the entire stato.
Yet offices are scattered all over the
campus. Main offices for the network
are In thrne old white houses at 16th
and R Street which were condemned
10 years a&:o by the University.
Space Is .also utilized In th West
Memorial Sliadium, the basement of
Teachers College, the Temple
Building, N rbraska Hall and The An
nex, a fonniT grocery store on 12th
Street.
"The new building has really saved
our life," Hull said. "Now we will be
able to pcrfo rm an even better job of
serving Nifbraikans through
television."

plans learning experiences to help
reach the goals the group has outlin
ed. There is student input and close
cooperation in all phases of the
operation, he said.
Though the sessions are not
"sensitivity sessions," they do use a
few sensitivity training techniques.
"When you are dealing with group
relationships you can't get away from
how people perceive themselves and
what makes them respond," Brown
said. "However, we don't look into
individuals to nearly the depth achie
ved In sensitivity sessions."
He added that some attempt is also
made to tap the creative potential
of group members. This is done by
setting up favorable conditions and
asking people to create. Many people
are a good deal more creative than
they usually show. Most of the time
they are just not called on to be
creative, Brown said.
When someone has a creative idea,
it is an exciting experience for both
the individual and those working with
him, Brown said.
The programs take a good deal of
time and are usually followed up with
new sessions, he said. This is because
people have a tendency to fall back
into their old ways if they are not
reminded of what they have learned.
Personnel for the program came from
several departments of the University.

Hippie-ology
angry youth rebels
as
by Bachittar Singh
Nebraskan Staff Writer
All over the globe, the youth of to
day are rebelling against the Estab
lishment. They do not feel they belong any
where. They have the greatest con
tempt for the society in which they
live. They are angry with the society
which does not accept their values.
And as a result of this the hippie cult
is becoming 'the thing' for such dis
satisfied groups all over the world.
Hippie-ology Is practiced now by
the hipipes in the west and is catch
ing on fast in the east. It is both a
philosophy of life as well as a mouth
piece of protest and anger directed
toward the present establishments of
society. It is also manifested in the
desire of youth, In countries like
Britain, France, and especially the
United States, to be heard and recog
nized as individuals.
Above all, Hippie-ology allows the
believers of this philosophy to despair
at the thought of the inevitable des
truction that they believe awaits all
of civilization.
Portions of this
article reflect
the author's
opinion
While spending a week in San
Francisco last month, I had a chance
to talk to the hippies who gather on
Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley. Ac
cording to them, the destruction of
society will come from the obsession
of the people in this world, with work,
status, power and money. They be
lieve all the ills of the society stem
from ttiese four basic wants of mod
ern man. So, they look to hlpplo-olosy
as a panacea to conquer all mala
dies affecting society,
But, us 1 learned from others, there
were other skies to thu cult too:
flower power and psychedelic.
Flower power, according to those 1
spoke to, is the philosophy which
sometimes requires the hippies to
don a kaleidoscopic array of colorful
attire. To them dress is very second
ary. What Is more Important Is their
search for truth, beauty, honesty, and
love. They believe one should be hon
est ubout everything In life. To them
this Is the only criterion that will
bring about universal peace and un
derstanding. It is high time that the establish
ment gives up the Idea that university
students can be led by their noses and
told what is Rood for them. It Is time
they open their eyes and look around
them, and be more understanding and
flexible than they have been. It Is time

seemed pleased with the program, he
said.
Ronald G. Eaglin, Coordinator of
Student Activities, calls the program
"Leadership Dynamics." He explain
ed that the program gives group
leadership a chance to examine itself
and find out what it is doing right
and wrong.
Many times the leaders in a group
are the doers, he said. However, this
does not mean they are skilled in
motivating the others in their
groups.
He also stressed that leadership dy
namics is not a program of sensitivity
groups. Sensitivity groups are entered
by individuals to gain a greater self
awareness. Group dynamics i s
primarily directed toward helping
groups to get things accomplished,
Eaglin said.
"Some people will not participate
in the groups because they think we
are going to get behind their minds
and destroy their self-imake," he said.
"This is not the case."
The staff will work with any group
that expresses an interest In the pro
gram. The leadership dynamics pro
gram can help almost any organiza
tion to function more effectively, he
said.
PJaglin added that a leadership lab
for University students is planned
sometime in November. It will be off
campus and a number of student
leaders will be invited.
is the thing
they realize that for the good of all,
today's youth should and must partici
pate in determining policies and pro
grams which will determine the future
of society. The future is for youth an
not for the old order.
Isn't it a fact that young people to
day are more mature than their
counterparts ten or fifteen years ago?
Why is it that students in universi
ties and colleges all over the world
are rebelling against the old estab
lished order?
Looking back one can see that
young people, particularly students,
have always been radical and Ideal
istic. They are generally forward
looking and have very often been the
prime movers of social and political
reforms.
With this In mind, take a look at
our campus. One can perceive that
'there Is some ;kind of Inactivity,
apathy, Indifference, and a sluggish
ness prevailing here. There is no ac
tivism, instead total apathy.
Maybe this Is because most of us
feel that It is useless to try anything,
for many believe that notiung can be
done.
But I think that is not the problem
at all. The problem is that students
have nohing to say. Look at ASUN
for example. How many students take
the trouble to find out what the sena
tors are doing? How many ever go
to the meetings? How many vote dur
ing elections? If 160 votes can get
a candidate elected to ASUN from a
student population of 18,000 there is
something very, very wrong some
where. So isn't It time we re-evaluated our
selves. It's time we gave the matter
"serious thought. It's time we stopped
blaming everyhing on the establish
ment and blamed ourselves for a
change. It's time to regroup our In
terests and muko use of our discarded
potential.
I strongly feci that we could suc
ceed In making our campus an Ideal
place for requesting change. What Is
happening on other campuses should
serve as a pointer to us,

For frosh Greeks;
Pledges could take
English in 'the house'
Greek pledges from four houses will
have the chance to take freshmen
English with each other next semester
if current plans materialize.
The idea of classes held in the
houses was brought to the attention
of the fraternities by the Inter Frat
ernity Council.
The plan, which is being promoted
by IFC Scholarship Chairman Fritz
Olenberger, would permit pledge
classes from two fraternities and two
sororities to form four sections of
classes with members of one
fraternity and one sorority being
divided equally into two sections.
Olenberger says that the idea is
part of a new concept in education
which was implemented in various
living units on campus last year.
"There has been an attempt at
drawing together social groups and
academic groups, the idea being that
a sense of identity and group associa
tion contributes to the learning pro
cess," be s aid.
Classes of this type were conducted
last year in a couple of dorms and
plans were made to continue the pro
gram this semester but difficulties
were encountered in registration, ac
cording to Director of Freshmen
English, Dr. Ned Hedges.
"The only way we would be able
to work this program in the first
semester would be if dorm
assignments were handed out before
schedules are made up," said Hedges.
This would also be a problem for
Greeks because pledge classes aren't
known until school starts.
Hedges said that the English
department is willing to co-operate
with such a program again this year
and they would be willing to have
Greeks participate if it was worked
out in a coeducational manner. There
would be a limitation on the number
of sections which could be formed,
because of the problems involved in
setting up the program.
"The program will have to be set
under the auspices of tne omce
Student Affairs. The English
Department will be responsible for
finding the teachers for the classes,"
said Hedges.
The only change that would have
to be made this year is that classes

were too many problems last year
with students having English .'In
dorm and then having to walk clear
across campus to make another class,
according to Hedges. -
Hedges made it apparent that if
there is enough interest shown in
these classes, a concerted effort would
be made In the next few weeE to
bring it about.
Olenberger thinks there Is enough
interest in the fraternity system-to
Implement the program next
semester. "Quite a few houses have
expressed an interest in it," he said,
"I think it would be a shame to have
to limit the number, but because of
this, it would probably have to be
worked out on a first come first serve
basis."
Panhellenlc Secretary Jan McGill
reported that there has been 1 no
discussion of this in Panhellenic, but
she said that some houses might ba
