Rap sessions enlist
student involvement
The most important part of the World
in Revolution Conference will be the
rap sessions, according to Ron Alex
ander, co-chairman of the World in
Revolution Conference.
The discussion sessions will be held
in the Nebraska Union and in several
living units on campus and will be open
to the public.
This phase of student involvement is
important because it gives the individual
student a chance to express his views,
Alexander said.
"There will be no particular planned
format for discussion," he said, "and
it is hoped that through free interplay
of dialogue, everyone will learn."
The discussion group meeting with
Senator Abraham Ribicoff will be held
at 1:30 p.m. Monday. The location of this
discussion group will be posted on the
Union Daily Events Calendar.
Robert Theobald will meet with
students Monday night in the Union
Ballroom following his speech and also
at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Harper Hall.
A group will meet with Jack Newfield
at the Beta Theta Pi House on Tuesday
at 7 p.m.
Saul Alinsky's discussion group will
meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Centennial
College Commons Room.
A supper and discussion group will
meet Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in Abel Hall
with Martin Oppenheimer, and Adam
Yarmolinsky will also hold a rap session
on Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Room 104
of the Law College.
This is a chance to get to know each
speaker better and discuss specific areas
of interest, Alexander said.
"In essence what we are attempting
to provide through World in Revolution
is an opportunity to discuss with leading
authorities, the problems of urban
America," he said.
Conference: a yearly essential
The World in Revolution Conference
is firmly established as an essential
educational activity of the University,
according to the co-chairmen of this
year's conference.
Co-chairman Kerry Winterer said the
future of the World in Revolution Con
ference is partially dependent on the
success of this year's conference.
"However," he added, "I have heard
nothing but favorable comments from
both faculty and students."
"We feel that an Intense investigation
of a current problem, such as the urban
crisis, is an integral part of the learning
process," commented Co-Chairman Ron
Alexander.
Future conferences will probably be
structured like this year's conference
as a joint effort of ASUN and the
Nebraska Union Forums Committee,
Winterer said.
In addition, Alexander added, the
Faculty Convocation Committee has ex
pressed an interest in helping plan the
speaker program.
"Although the final decision-making
should remain with the students," he
said, "faculty advice is helpful in long
range evaluations of the total pro
gram." Both co-chairmen expressed a concern
for the structural arrangement of future
conferences.
"We are operating on an antiquated
system," Alexander said. He listed a
larger staff, a full-time secretary and
more equipment as needs for future
conferences.
"We are operating at capacity right
now," Winterer added. "Foremost on
the list of future conference needs is
a way to incorporate more people to
help plan the conferences."
After you have the power you can begin
to confront the issues. Until that time,
it's what we call diaper tactics.
