Service size rates low
by Carol Anderson
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The Unlvenity of
Nebraska Counseling Service
rates low among schools of
comparable size in number
of staff members available to
students.
H. J. Canon, Counseling
Service director, said Tues
day that although a staff
member was hired this year,
he was only the second addi
tion in three years.
Canon said he wants
students to become aware of
and use the service but he
fears waiting lists. "Since
money is not available to add
staff members," he said,
"waiting lists would be an
inevitable result of increased
student use of the service."
Nevertheless, Canon feels the
University Counseling Serv
ice does as good a job as
school services with more
members.
The Counseling Service has
six full-time staff members
(three have doctorate
degrees in clinical psycholo
gy) and three part-time
graduate students. The Uni
versity of Iowa has 18 full
time staffers, the University
of Missouri, 16 and the Uni
versity of Colorado, 25.
300 Students use service
About 300 students went to
the Counseling Service office
in 108 Administration Build
ing last year for advice.
Others were seen in Harper-Schramm-Smith,
Abel-San-doz
and Selleck where a
counselor is available to
students one evening a week.
About 60 per cent of
students asking help are

is set up ideally to Integrate
faculty members and guest
speakers.
In order to give fraternity
houses a new direction and
purpose, Voboril hopes IFC
will change from a
regulatory body to more of
an innovative force in the
future. However, in the last
two years IFC has begun to
explore ways of helping
houses seek ways to in
novate, he said.
"We have a strong
fraternity system, but we
will have to make changes to
keep it strong," Voboril said.
"Fraternities will have to
loosen their structure; they
will have to InvUe faculty,
independents and minority
groups into their houses."
He also cited the need for
fraternities to hold classes in
their houses.
Voboril said the fraternity
system is not sitting still, but
is experimenting with many
programs. Two or three
houses plan to have faculty
men In residence next
year.
Next semester some
fraternities will experiment
with faculty fellows. Once a
week two faculty members
will visit a certain fraternity

major problems. The rest
seek advice for personal
problems. The Service works
closely with the mental
health unit of Student Health
and refers seriously distrub
ed students to them.
"But our appraoch is a lit
tle different," Canon said.
"We focus on the growth of
the individual to help him
realize his potential instead
of rehabilitation."
The Counseling Service
plays more of an innovative
role in the life of the Univer
sity than do many others,
Canon said. "We get out on
campus more and have more
contact with students."
Office concentrates
Instead of concentrating on
students with personal hang
ups or career problems,
Canon says his office should
become more concerned with
"the middle 50 per cent of
the students who go through
the University without
anything significant happen
ing to them."
Part of the service's pro
gram to "get out of the office
to where students are" in
cludes dorm counseling.
"We wanted to find out
what really goes on in the
residence halls so that
maybe we can help improve
the quality of life there,"
Canon said.
He said that students living
in University housing enjoy a
quality of life that is
"significantly better than
that on most other campuses,
although this may be hard
for those living there to
realize."
Credit to directors
Canon gives partial credit
may change
for lunch or just to talk, he
said.
Farm House fraternity n w
has a "preparatory for m r
riage" class in its house lor
three hours every Thursc iy
night. The class, which car
ries three hours credit, is
only attended by members of
Farm House.
Next semester four English
classes may be held in dif
ferent fraternities or
sororities. The classes are
scheduled for Andrews Hall,
but the instructors can move
them to the different
fraternities or sororities. The
individual classes will consist
mainly of one fraternity and
one sorority. Besides the
English classes, a non-credit
reading dynamics course will
be taught in the Beta Theta
Pi fraternity house.
Although the fraternities
are trying to complement
their formal education, they
are meeting resistence by
some faculty members, ac
cording to Voboril. "The
social and party image is
hurting the fraternity system
and It is hard to convince
faculty that we are interested
in education."
Voboril said the fraternity
system is trying to change its
party image. "We're trying
to change our image, but we
give our critics a lot of am
munition."

for this situation to residence
directors whom he termed
"young, energetic and Im
aginative one of the best
groups we've had."
The Counseling Service is
also involved with Centennial
College and will do an
evaluation of that educa
tional experiment. One staff
member spends about one
third of his time as a Cen
tennial College consultant,
Canon said.
"What's Important in the
long haul is whether we have
an impact on the institution,
Canon said. But he admits
that students who come to
the Counseling Service for
personal advice are "our
bread and butter."
The average student who
makes use of the University's
Counseling Service has a
grade point average of about
2.5.
The counselors have
discussed this statistic with
some surprise and wonder if
they were seeing the students
who really need help.
Plan to reach students
The counselors have
devised a plan to reach
students who are confused by
career choices but turned off
by counseling. According to
the plan a student would
receive vocational and
psychological testing and an
interpretation of the results.
Counselors would be
available only if requested.

Another problem is the
Service's reading program.
The eight-week course con
sists of a two-hour session
each week with a machine to
increase reading speed and
comprehension. This year the
program includes 35 minority
students with tuiUon waivers
who are required to take the
non-credit course. Another 25
students are in the program
voluntarily.
Minority students are
generally hostile to the pro
gram because it is mandato
ry, according to a staffer.
Absenteeism is high.
A suggested solution was to
give credit for the course.
One staff member said this
was impossible because "it
would take two or three
years to get it through the
College of Arts and
Sciences."
Improvement rewards
Another counselor sug
gested giving points for im
provement and attendance
and offering rewards in the
form of Union privileges. But
some staffers expressed
doubts that paid learning
would be reinforcing.
Nothing definite has been
decided except that the
course will be voluntary for
all participating students in
the future.
No local peace
march planned:
There will be no
Moratorium march in Lin
coln because the emphasis is
on the national Moratorium
march in Washington, ac
cording to a Moratorium
committee member.
In lieu of the march the
committee has planned
varied activities including
canvassing the Lincoln com
munity, speeches and
discussion groups, and a film
on Vietnam with footage
never before seen in the
West
The purpose of tho Lincoln
Moratorium is "to get more
people thinking critically
about the war." according to
Dennis Berkheim, Morator
ium committee member.
"In The Year of the Pig" lis
a full-length documentary on
Vietnam taken from
American, European, and
Vietnamese sources.
It concentrates on the
history of Vietnam beginning
in the Thirties following thr
ough with American in
volvement in the Fifties and
Sixties. The film will be
shown from Thursday until
Sunday both on and off-campus.
Discussion groups in the
dorms and greek houses
scheduled for Thursday at
7:00 p.m. will be unstruc
tured, according to Berk
heim. "The topics which
have been suggested for dis
cussion are the role of the
citizen in a democracy and
also various other effects of
the war.

No 'thought control
is found in ROTC
New York ROTC The
Reserve Officers Training
Corps program on college
campuses is under attack
as never before in its half
century existence. At least 50
colleges this year have seen
anti-ROTC demonstrations;
ROTC programs have been
effectively terminated at
Harvard, Dartmouth and
Columbia, and downgraded
at another half-dozen in
stitutions across the United
States.
But a November Reader's
Digest article suggests that
the radical students, faculty
members and others calling
for abolition of ROTC may be
missing the point. Their
challenge is based on two
assumptions: (1) that ROTC"
"violates academic free
dom" and (2) that ROTC

courses "do not merit aca
demic credit"
"A careful exploration of
the 'academic freedom' line
of attack shows it to be glar
ingly unsupported by facts,"
says author Kenneth
Tomlinson, a member of the
Digest's Washington Bureau.
"Probing the charge at eight
universities in different parts
of the country," he writes, "I
found absolutely no 'thought
control' in military classes."
Indeed just the opposite is
often the case, he says. At
least one student reported
that his ROTC courses were
the only place he could find a
real give-and-take debate on
the Vietnam war. Moreover,
a number of universities
have rejected demands to
end ROTC on the basis of
maintaining academic
freedom.
According to Herman B.
Wells of the University of
Indiana, for example, drop
ping ROTC would be
"yielding to the same kind of
pressures which have
demanded that we cease
teaching anything about Karl
Marx, Russian history and
Slavic literature."
As to charges that ROTC
courses to not merit
academic credit, Tomlinson
points out that colleges can
demand that the courses
measure up to the institu
tion's normal standards, and
can insist on teachers of high
quality.
Equally unfounded, argues
Tomlinson, are charges that
ROTC encourages militarism
"Without ROTC," he notes,
"the Pentagon would be
forced into a massive ex
pansion of military acade
mies," inevitably resulting
in precisely the kind of mili
taristic atmosphere that
ROTC critics claim to be op
posing. Focusing the educa

leaders on academic cam
puses should prevent, not
encourage, the development
of an inbred officer corps.
ROTC has been "a critical
cornerstone in our national
defense for decades," writes
Tomlinson. In World War II,
for example, 60,000 of the
100,000 reserve officers
mobilized were ROTC
graduates.
Today, some 200,000 young
men in 365 colleges and uni
versities are enrolled in
ROTC programs. Army
ROTC will turn out some
16,000 officers in 1969 21
times more than West Point
Thirty-five percent of Air
Force officers commissioned
this year will be ROTC
graduates. More than half
the Navy's regular line offi
cers come directly from
ROTC.
Moreover, says the article,
ROTC scholarships make
academic degrees available
to thousands who might
otherwise be unable to afford
them.
Committees to study ROTC
have been established on
many campuses. They
should, the article urges,
"carefully evaluate and up
date the ROTC curriculum.
They should work with the
military and university ad
ministrations to correct any
faults that are found."
But they should not abolish
a program that has served
the nation well in the past
and that will be vitally
needed in the future. Like it
or not, this nation will be
faced with significant
military decisions in the
coming years. ROTC can
help insure that those
decisions are made not by a
"military elite," but by of
ficers who fully represent
American society and are
aware of the full perspective
of American culture.
