Computers to mod education by Linda Larson Education of the future will be greatly affected by computerized programs in Lincoln's new Institute for Education and Technology, William L. Stucker, Edutek president, said Tuesday. The Institute brings professionals together for improving education, he said in an interview. According to Stucker, the University of Nebraska was involved in establishing the Institute, and NU faculty members are currently working with five of its eight projects. Edutek, which operates the Institute, is a non-profit corporation and has a full-time project management staff of 12. Professional experts are hired from faculty members in all levels of education, Stucker said. Relationships with institutions in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri "provide the very best professional and scientific people in the region for our Lincoln Friends Meeting (QUAKERS) Discussion 10 a.m. Silent Worship 1 1 a.m. Sunday 3319 So. 46th for info, and rides call 475-5391 programs," he said. The programs are also advantageous for faculty members, Stucker added, for they provide "creative and rewarding work." "We view these working relationships with professional people as an excellent opportunity for them to acquire and maintain their competencies in the areas of their concern," Stucker said. The Institute is currently creating centers within the region for demonstration of teaching innovations. They are also establishing a reading center and computer-based communications network to instruct and advise reading teachers. One program would computerize information on career choice and training. This material will be made available to students, Stucker said. The Institute is evaluating existing educational programs and the improvement of training in education, according to Stucker. The United States Office of Education, (USOE) finances the projects, he explained. USOE tapped funds appropriated by the following legislation: Vocational Education Act of 1963, Education of the Handicapped Act, Education Professions Development Act, Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, and the General Education Provisions Act. IJNL taculty members involved in Institute programs are Wes. C. Meirhenry, chairman of Department of Continuing Education; Jack G. McBride, director of NU educational television; Paul H. Schupbach, director of Great Plains Instructional Library; Dr. Robert Filbeck, professor of educational psychology; Carl Donaldson, consultant to NU president; and Max Hansen, associate professor of industrial education. The Institute for Education and Technology has an office in Lincoln Airpark West. Schulder. . . Continued from page 3. "IF 60 PER CENT of the women in Nebraska want the law abolished, it should be abolished," she said, adding she feels if Governor Exon really has promised to veto any repeal of the law, he is not being responsive to the voters. Right to Life groups, also called Friends of the Fetus, have 50 groups across the state, Schulder said, crediting them with "very good organization." SHE SAID THEY and churches are usually most of the organized opposition to liberalized abortion laws. She said she feels the involvement of churches violates the "separation of church and state" principle. IPftlfli TB W lid Iff THIS CflfJ TELL YOU. This is the remarkable Bose 1001 Computer. It's designed to aid you in selecting the perfect speakers for your stereo system.

American Civil Liberties Union is working on a preliminary legal brief to decide whether it will help fund a suit by RHA against the Regents. Last summer, the Regents rejected a student guest rights proposal that would have allowed coed visitation in campus living units if agreed to by unit members and if the students had parental permission to participate. Story said current University regulations on visitation are insulting, repressive and "create a feeling of frustration and anger." He said students are disenchanted with working through normal channels but will wait for the outcome of CSL"s negotiations before proceeding with any legal action. !EED EXTRA CASH?
