This is the last article of a four-part
series on educational reform channels
available to UNL students. Todays
segment deals with college advisory
boards.
by Randy Beam
If a student has something to say
about his education-particularly a
suggestion about how to improve it-one
place to turn is his college student
advisory board.
All the college boards are charged with
the responsibility of keeping students'
ideas and criticism in front of the faculty.
Ho. important are they? As one
membei said of his board: 'it's about the
only place on campus v here there's really
any educational reform.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
ADVISORY BOARD: Lack of student
input is a major problem for this
10-member board, according to chairman
Ken Bruns.
"We have, the faculty's ear and the
administration's ear, and if we can just
get the student support we'll be in good
shape," he said.
For Ag College, the student-faculty
Course of Study Committee makes the
final decisions on new courses, courses
required for majors and many other
educational innovations in the college,
Bruns said.
He said he felt student representation
on the committee (about one-third) was

adequate, adding that the student vote
carried weight and that they were well
received.-
OVER THE PAST calendar year,
Bruns said the board has been
instrumental in establishing a college-wide
independent study program, extending
the pass-fail program and developing a
co-advising project where juniors and
seniors team up with freshmen to advise
them o college problems.
So far this school year, the board has
not embarked on any specific projects
except the co-advising program. However
it is considering looking into teacher
evaluation, extending honors classes to
more students and getting ag students
involved in Nebraska Opportunity for
Volunteer Action (NOVA).
ARTS AND SCIENCES ADVISORY
BOARD: Revamping college group
requirements-including the language
requirement-is one project the A & S
board is currently involved with via its
three-student representatives on the
faculty-student Curriculum Committee.
The Curriculum Committee is the agency
making the week to week decisions on
new courses, changing credit for courses
and determining courses required for
majors. The committee is also charged
with formulating a group requirement
reorganization proposal.
According to student member Duane
Sneddeker, the committee has proposed
semesters. Stop by Room 128
Nebraska Union or call
472-2456 if interested.

requiring 20 hours from at least two of
the following departments to fulfill the
humanities requirement: Fine Arts,
Philosophy, Foreign Language and
hn SNEDDEKER SAID students would
still have to meet foreign language college
entrance requirements (two years in high
school, or one in college).
A counter-proposal also has been
discussed, he said. It would substitute a
cultural-linguist class block in place of the
language.
The social sciences proposal requires
students to take 12 hours from two
departments. The natural and physical
science recommendation has not yet been
formulated.
The A & S board itself is working on
several proposals, including one to
establish a living-learning core course for
freshmen-a Centennial College approach
for freshmen, according to Tom Weist,
board chairman. Revising student
counseling and redesigning the
commencement program along college
lines are also being worked on.
HOME ECONOMICS ADVISORY
BOARD: This six-member board serves
mainly a curricular function, according to
chairman Nancy Anderson. It is their
responsibility to make recommendations
to the student-faculty Curriculum
Committee, which in turn makes
recommendations to the faculty, who
take the final action.
"This is one of the most effective
committees in the college for effecting
educational change," Anderson said.
"The students are listened to."
Anderson said there appears to be no
big push for educational reform in Home
Ec College, although that's not how she
said she would like it. More effort
should be made to review types of
instruction, the grading system and
expanding the field work program should
be looked into, she said.
SHE SAID STUDENT interest in
reform seems to be lacking. From living
unit discussions, she said she gathered
that students are, for the most part,
satisifed with the way things are going.
The Home Ec board currently is not
working on any projects, but is rather
acting primarily as a "relay
station" forwarding student input to
appropriate college committees.

College Board is involved with several
h.wjvvio , ume, according to
member Terry Kubicek.
A major revision of the basic
Education 3 1 course is being considered
with an aim towards incorporating more
student input in the course. The scope of
this revision is such that it involves
considerable time, Kubicek said and is
the board's first priority at this time
The board also has representatives on
three Deans Committees investigating
college operations, resource allocations
and missions and goals.
EDUCATIONAL
REFORM
i
EDUCATIONAL reform objectives are
difficult to attain in Teachers College,
Kubicek said, because of lack of
manpower, over-departmentalization and
unclear lines of communication.
Kubicek said ther seems to be no clear
inter-departmental organization which
can act on curriculum changes. Not
knowing where to take proposals presents
a real problem, he said.
Another problem is the numerous
projects that could be undertaken if there
was sufficient manpower.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
ADVISORY BOARD: The Bus-Ad board
is currently working on an underclassman
advising program, according to chairman
Marty Range.
Since students in that college don't
have advisors sign their class request
forms, Range said, the board felt some
guidance on the student's field of study
and his class selection was necessary.
Range said the 1 1 -member board is

also toying with the idea of setting up an
internship program. Under the plan,
students would work at Lincoln retail
establishments and businesses to secure
on-the-job trainining.
The Bus-Ad board also appoints
student members to the faculty-student
Academic Planning Committec-the group
which makes recommendations about
course changes and class requirements to
the faculty. The committee, according to
Range, has also started to consider
possible alteration of some college group
requirements.
ENGINEERING AND
ARCHITECTURE ADVISORY BOARD:
The E & A board is set up differently
than the other five college boards,
according to chairman Rod Moseman ,
president of the college's six honoraries,
which make up the board.
The group is mainly involved with
special projects at the college-like
E-Week, their Blue Print magazine and a
Protege program (introducing students to
professional engineers). The board also is
considering polling students about the
college's curriculum.
Although the board itself does not
serve as an educational reform organ, E &
A has a Teching Learning Council which
investigates, develops and requests
educational innovations. Membership on
the council is limited to the college staff.
In November an intra-departmental
environmental engineering minor was
approved at the graduate level.

contributions to the Nebraska float in the
Orange Bowl in Miami. Gary Kuklin, the UNL
student co-chairman of the Nebraska float
committee, said letters asking for donations
have been sent to public season ticket holders,
members of Touchdown Club, Extra Point
Club, and Nebraska Beef Association.
Orange Bowl floats are built and designed by
Vaughn Parades, in Miami. The Nebraska float
committee chose the basic theme for the float
and then contacted Vaughn Parades to
construct the Big Red float.
Money for the float will be collected by
various Lincoln businesses, which are
conducting numerous Orange Bowl publicity
programs. Donations will be accepted by
Tassels at ho me UNL basketball games.
According to Kuklin, this year's Orange
Bowl float will attempt to place more emphasis
on Nebraska as a great state and secondly on
Nebraska as a great football state.
