Ag Advisory Board
acts as student advisor
by Terri Bedient
A common lament heard in
college communities is, "I can
never get ahold of my advisor,"
or "I wish I could talk to
somebody about what courses
to take."
Ag Advisory Board, a
9-member group elected by the
students of their college to
advise the Dean of the College
of Agriculture, may have found
a partial solution to this
problem.
Board members were
instrumental in promoting a
system in which junior and
senior students in the College
of Agriculture, with the help of
a faculty advisor, co-advise
freshman students.
The student advisors at
present receive 1 hour of credit
for their advising job by taking
independent study in Ag
Education. This study is taken

on a PassFail basis. The
faculty advisor the student is
working with does the grading.
One student advisor, Jeanne
Dolan, stressed the importance
of a flexible four year plan.
Many of the courses on East
Campus are only offered one
semester. Others have
prerequisites. Still others
involve time conflicts. Another
problem that plagues an Ag
student is that very few Ag
courses are offered during
summer school sessions.
Dolan, a junior majoring in
Agronomy, plans to go into
Ecology research. She has 18
advisees, all of whom she tries
to see regularly. Before school
started, she contacted all of her
advisees, and set up an
informal coffee for them. They
had a chance to meet her and
their faculty advisor, as well as
1 7 other freshmen.
These freshmen have a

every Friday afternoon. Dolan
puts up a sign-up sheet and the
student picks a time when he is
free. Each student has Dolan's
phone nunber, just in case of
small questions that must be
answered immediately.
Dolan said, "I encourage the
kids to get involved. I also
encourage them to talk to their
profs. Lots of times you get
clashing opinions, but it gives
you a chance to weed out what
you as a student want."
Ron Huss, freshman from
Burr Hall, said "I think it's a
really good idea-I wouldn't
know where to start by myself.
A four year plan is necessary."
Steve Anderson, another of
Dolan's advisees, said "It really
helps a freshman out. You
learn by others' experiences.
Jeanne's taken most of the
courses and tells you what to
expect."

NFT favors affiliation
with national AAUP
It was the "overwhelming
opinion" of the Nebraska
Federation of Teachers (NFT)
members present at a recent
UNL meeting that affiliation
with the American Association
of University Professors to
form a non-exclusive
bargaining unit would be
advantageous, said Paul Olson,
NFT vice president.
NFT President George
Rejda explained Nebraska laws
make it almost impossible for
an employer organization to be
an "exclusive bargaining
agent."
An exclusive bargaining
agent speaks for all the
employees - in this case the
whole faculty -- and a
non-exclusive union can only
bargain for its members.
Rejda said "the members
want action" and the legal
difficulties in becoming an
"exclusive bargaining agent"
and realization "we don't
represent the majority of the
faculty" has led to talk of
working with the
well-established AAUP.
Future decisions of NFT's
70 members will be influenced
by its current membership
drive and the faculty sympathy
expressed in a poll now being
conducted, Rejda said.
In other action, the NFT
sent a letter to the Board of
Regents suggesting the Board
"abide by the letter and the
spirit of the law" in their
decision-making, Olson said.

He said, in relation to the
board's decision not to re-hire
ass't political science Prof.
Stephen Rozman and others,
the NFT feels "the Regents'
public discussions don't bear
any relationship to their
decisions."
The letter complained the
"secrecy in Regents meeting"
before the public ones puts
doubt that any business is
really conducted at the public
meetings.
Olson said faculty attempts
to determine if they're
"employees or professionals" is
"from the beginning an
inappropriate issue" since
faculty status is really "a
matter of the spirit in which
University matters are
conducted."
"And faculty members are
beginning to feel more and
more like employees," Olson
said.
Discussion on the issue at
the Tuesday meeting included
a letter from Governor Exon
which began, "Dear Fellow
Employee. . ."
A copy of the University
budget is now in Rejda's office
and Olson said NFT members
will be "making an analysis to
study its priorities, equities and
inequities."
Olson said he sees that as "a
way of helping the
administration," since any
effort to conduct University
more efficiently should be
appreciated by them.
