"Last year I had a hard time
finding people to help decide
how to blow all our money,"
remarked Bob Russell,
chairman of the Nebraska
Union Talks and Topics com
mittee. "Bat this year a real diverse
group makes up the committee,
freaks, dormies, and YAF
people. It is an inspiration to
see that students care where
their money is going."
The Talks and Topics com
mittee presents a speaker
series throughout the school
year.
"In the past the speaker
series has been concentrated on
big-name speakers who don't
have that much to say,"
Russell said. There are a lot
more speakers available who
don't cost as much but may
have more impact."

"We are also working on
some special projects, such as
bringing in a poet to give

students," said Russell. "We

intends to emphasize literary
matters and the arts as well as
politics."
Russell said there will be no
sports speakers this year. "If
students want to hear about
sports, they can talk to Bob
Devaney."
"It is not our aim to entertain
students. We want to bring in
speakers that will interest them
in humanity rather than a good
laugh," Russell added.
The program is worth the
time and money involved if
students are exposed to the
speaker in an informal situa
tion, he added.
Russell emphasized that the
committee and its meetings are
open to any student who wishes
to participate in choosing the
speakers. The Talks and Topics
committee will meet next
Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in the
