Students hold key to reform "Students are being slowly killed on campus," Time Out's speaker on education reform said Friday. Larry Magid, director of the Center of Educational Reform in Washington, D.C., said students are killed by forcing them to submit to authority. When students graduate, they don't know how to change anything. The key to reform lies in student organizations, said Magid, and "faculty are the people who have to be reach ed." Magid discussed the internal control in classrooms which "causes a tendency to respond to authority quietly." These standards of rigidity teach students how to obey orders and how to psyche out the professor, he said. Union sponsors variety of activities with fees Eighteen dollars of the stu dent fees that each full-time University student pays goes to support the Nebraska Union. Completely self sufficient, the Union operates entirely on revenues from student fees and income from admission charges for some events, ac cording to Allen Bennett, union director. Current programs account for S6 of the-fees, debt retire ment for $9.50 and a future fund for building and equip ment maintenance, $2.50. Several new programs have been added to Union services this year, said Hal Smith, Union Porgram Director. One of them is the coffee house program which brings various types of coffee house enter tainment to the Union. The Off-Campus Relations Commitee, another new en deavor, was formed to in vestigate ways the Union might be more responsive to those students who do not live on campus. Smith said. The Jazz and Java concert Call Help Line 472-3311 series, one of the older Union services, provides free concerts in the Crib on weekday after noons. Student fees also sup port at least two other free concerts and the Union sponsors several other self supporting concerts, Smith said. The Art and Music Lending Libraries are also services of the Union with student fees being used to renew and repair the collections. Financing of Union speakers and the World in Revolution Conference also comes from student fees, said Smith. The use of hard narcotics in classrooms, student unrest and the need for armed police on campus are evidence that "higher education is clearly not working," said Magtd. "The paradox of higher education is that internal con trol of schools by the faculty in the interest of the Regents has become widely accepted," he continued. "They control themselves so powers from the outside won't interfere." Magid stressed that "the problem isn't that universities are too political, but that they are political in the wrong direction." Governign boards reflect their political views by allow ing research programs in such areas as germ warfare and atonic weapons, Magid said. "Students see the contradic tion between what they're taught about democracy and what they see in the communi ty. That's why American Revolution, Part II, started on -college campuses," he said. Magid said he wokld like to see the university become of service to the community at large, grades abolished, stu dent educational reform com mittees formed on campus. NOW WORLD WIDE!!
