Triple - T project tightens belt
takes new regional approach
The Universitys's project for
elementary education reform
will be funded by the U. S.
Office of Education again next
year, but will undergo a
belt-tightening budget cut.
The Triple-T (Training
Teachers of Teachers) project
concentrates on changing the
role of teachers in elementary
schools, according to director
and English professor Gene
Hardy.
In Triple-T's "active
classrooms," Hardy explained,
the learning initiative shifts
from the teacher to students,
with guidance from the
teacher.
Straight rows of quiet
children are replaced in an
active classroom by workshops
and reading corners. Much
work is done on the floor.
Nationally, nine Triple-T
programs have been
terminated. The other 32,
including NU's, will get less
money.
Hardy said he didn't know
yet how extensively Nebraska's
funds would be cut, but he said
the Office of Education had
assured him NU would get "as
much as anyone else." This
year the University got about
$600,000.
Next year's program will
involve more of a regional
approach than in the past,
Hardy added. Professors from
NU's Teachers College and
College of Arts and Sciences
will mix with professors from
other colleges as well as with
area school administration
personnel, elementary teachers
and community
representatives.
Triple-T hopes to get
universities, schools and whole
Nebraska communities
involved in teacher preparation
leading to the active classroom
concept of education, Hardy
said.

on display during the annual
Graduate Student Art Show in
the north gallery on the second
floor of Sheldon Art Gallery.
And exhibit oi pnoiograpns
by Les Krims, an assistant
professor at New York State
University at Buffalo, is on
display in the Nebraska Union
main lounge through March 1.
The Sheldon exhibition will
begin February 23 and run
through March 21. The pieces,
all works of 26 NU graduate
art students, nave never Deen
displayed before. Each of the
graduate students is working
toward a Master of Fine Arts
degree.
THE EXHIBITS were
picked by the instructor under
whom each student has been
working, according to Douglas
A. Ross, assistant professor of
art and chairman of the
exhibition committee. He said
students may be working in
more than one area, and the
amount of art each instructor
picked depended both on the
area the student is in and the
amount of space allowed for it
in the show.
Works in the show include
three pieces of sculpture using
acrylic plastic and flourescent
light and photographs that are
not all straight photography,
Ross said. He added that some
of the photographs have been
silk-screened; .some are
silk-screened on acrylic plastic,
and others are in a three
dimensional vacuum form
shaped by heating acrylic
plastic.

Marvel said Nebraska is one of three states
without some coordinating hody.
"We can't afford the fragmentation which now
exists," he said. "Higher education is too
expensive and too important to allow this."
Chancellor D. B. Varner testified that he felt
some form of coordination would be in the best
interests of the state and higher education.
"If we are to have coordination, however, we all
must abandon our current position," he said. "It
would do no good to add another layer of control;
we should abandon the Regents, State Board and
Chancellor's office as they are now constituted
and start over."
THE SINGLE BOARD proposal calls for a chief
administrative officer with over-all responsibilites
for all campuses-a job Varner said he would not
be a candidate for. He indicated the office of
chancellor under such a system would be
abolished.
Sen. Duke Snyder of Omaha asked Varner what
sort of man would be best qualified for the
position, of chief administrative officer.
"HE SHOULD be about 32-years-old with a
beard and twelve disciples following him around,"
Varner answered. "I can't even grow hair let alone
a beard."
The single board proposal suggests a
constitutional amendment and gradual
implementation of the new system by July 1,
1975.
Gus Lieske, state administrative services
director, testified in favor of LB 866 on behalf of
Gov. J. J. Cvon.
' The committee indicated it would hold both
bills, however, until sometime next week.
