The Library, located in the Nebraska Union Room 237, contains various types of records available to UNL students and faculty free of charge. The Music Lending Library has approximately 500 records in classical, folk, popular, jazz, country, musical, and easy listening catergories. The major portion of the record collection has been donated to the Music Lending Library.

English is touring campuses to get students to form local public interest research groups (PIRG). According to Deanne Canar, coordinating committee member for UNL's PIRG organization, English will make a return visit to Lincoln to arouse additional interest. At a Monday night meeting, Canar said the Lincoln organization has formed coordinating and publicity committees.

Horner, Professor of Agricultural Small businesses get engineers by Cheryl Westcott The new engineering extension program at the University of Nebraska may keep some small Nebraska businesses going, according to George L. Dickey, first director of the new program. Many of the state's smaller businesses can not support an engineering staff to deal with technical or management problems, he said. "Our role will be to help them pinpoint the problems and bring them into contact with experts who can help them." Dickey, associate professor of mechanical engineering and industrial and managements systems engineering, has been assigned by the College of Engineering and Architecture to spend part of his time applying the extension service theory to engineering. "IT'S WELL AND nice to spend money attracting a lot of industry to the state, but many times the people and industries .already here are neglected," he said. In 1965, the federal government and the Department of Commerce established a state technical services program with federal funding. Its purpose was "to provide an information transferal function from government agencies with a lot of technical information to industry," Dickey stated. Information from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an example of this "technological spin-off," he said. Federal funding was discontinued in 1969 and the extension service in Nebraska ended last summer. The new program emphasizes extension activities geared more for the state's needs, Dickey said. Diane Hansmeyer, coordinator of state technical information services, will continue to answer requests for information from manufacturers or field representatives of the state Department of Economic Development. THE FEDERAL PROGRAM conducted some information subcommittee studies of independent paper Education. The Daily Nebraskan was named in a suit against the Board of Regents by three students who allege that mandatory student fees are used for political purposes. A hearing on the suit will be held Nov. 8. help training programs, Dickey said. "But these were generally at the professional level. We hope to put on programs for technicians, foremen and managerial personnel as well as professional engineers." The third thrust of the program is technical problems referral. The extension division would help an industry identify problems and refer it to a management consultant. Or his office might do some testing to evaluate a new crop dusting machine, Dickey said. This function is a good source of practical problems that could be used in the classroom. "Our budget is essentially zero," Dickey noted. Half of his salary and half of Hansmeyer's are the entire budget. "We anticipate some state funds, given some reorganization and results," he said. The technical information and referral services are operated on a cost basis; a few will be charged for the educational seminars, Dickey said, to make the program self-sustaining. "IN THE LONG run, more engineering students would stay in Nebraska. We want to keep more industries in the state and raise their technological bases. The need for more engineers will be reflected in that technological base," Dickey said. Draft-elegible Freshman: Rap sessions to deal with your options regarding the draft. Abel North Lounge Mon.

The subcommittee is expected to make recommendations to the board, he added. . The Daily Nebraskan receives $ 1 .25 per student each semester in student fees and is distributed free on campus. The subscription rate is $9.00 a year. Advertising revenue pays about half the printing costs and student fees pay the rest, Horner said. Profits are carried over each year in a reserve fund, he added. If the paper has enough advertising, it can be independent of student fees, according to Barry Pilger, Daily Nebraskan advertising manager. Many school newspapers have gone independent, and "there are as many ways as schools" to do it. However, he said he would like The Daily Nebraskan to become a student- operated, non-profit corporation. Currently, operation of The Daily Nebraskan is controlled by the Publications Board, a standing committee of the Council on Student Life. The board chooses the executive staff, determines the budget and serves as editorial advisor, Horner said.
