vi " 1 I l i Z-s. New course teaches leadership A course aimed at helping students to become more effective as leaders in the University community will be offered for the first time in the spring semester. The three-hour course in the Department of History and Philosophy of Education is entitled "Higher Education in the 20th Century." It is open to any UNL student with junior standing. Royce H. Knapp, Regents Professor of Education and course instructor, said the course will study many aspects of the modern university. The course will utilize discussion groups, lectures, papers and laboratory work in neighboring colleges and universities, he said. In his outline for the course Knapp wrote, "This course should help to meet the needs of college students who are currently participating with more equitibility in the decision-making process of this and other universities." He added that a course like this one was not necessary when students had very little say in university life. But. increased student participation has made this kind of course more important. A student who is informed and active can have a significant effect in today's university. Knapp said. He said he hopes the course will also stimulate the interest Bicycle week. . . Continued from page 4. to explain the increased use of bicycles in Lincoln and on the University campus in particular. The mayor's committee has also proposed numerous bike routes throughout the city. Nearly $5,000 has been spent on signs alone to mark the routes. Raglin said the city is awaiting delivery of the new signs but hopes they will be installed before winter. According to Raglin over 1,500 tickets have been issued to bicyclists so far this year. Most of the tickets were for license or light defects and running stoplights or signs. The number of accidents involving cars and bikes is up over last year too. In roughly 70 per cent of the accidents it is the bicyclist's fault. The committee is sponsoring numerous activities next week in conjunction with Bike Week in an effort to promote better bike safety and maintenance. Those activities include: --Sunday, Oct. 3: Cycle races at the Tractor Testing Station on hast Campus beginning at 1 :30 p.m. Categories for all age groups and sexes. Prizes to be awarded. --Monday.

"The day when someone can just drift into important college positions is gone," Knapp said. "Future college leaders must train for their jobs." Knapp said the course should also "help future citizens in all fields develop an appreciation of the important role and functions of colleges and universities in the state, nation and world." ....
