A student survey, the University Five Year Plan and the
pilot project Freshman Seminar Program (FSP) may be the
basis for a new program for UN L freshmen.
The program, yet to be formulated, could be implemented
by next spring, according to Chris Harper, one of several
students who submitted a report on freshmen orientation for
the UNL Academic Planning Committee (APC).
The report, according to another committee member,
Michele Coyle, calls for three changes in freshmen students'
schedules: an emphasis on a "more coherent approach to
education," a change in the advising system and a greater
emphasis on personal and cultural development.
She said the committee has asked that another committee
be established to plan a program to fit their recommendations
to the APC.
Part of the information to be used in making the
recommendations will be gathered from this year's freshmen,
John Robinson, associate dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences said.
Robinson said a survey will be taken to obtain "a
comprehensive picture as to how freshmen viewed their first
year."
"We are going to use the information to formulate
policies of the college on such things as whether to have large
or small classes," he said.
"It will also be used to make curriculum decisions.
Information for the freshman year proposal will also be
gathered from results of surveys taken from freshmen
participants In last semester's FSP. The program was
discontinued after the first semester and is now being
evaluated, according to Bill Lock, chairman of the Teachers
College Advisory Board and a former seminar co-ordinator.
Lock said the seminars were intended to "give freshmen a
different perspective on the University."
He said the goals of the program were three-fold: to help
the freshmen in their personal and cultural development, to
provide informal advising by upperclassmen and to make
freshmen aware of the educational opportunities at the
University.
Lock said his impressions of the seminar were "basically
favorable."
He said the informal advising and educational and
extracurricular orientation received the most positive
responses on the FSP survey.
Harper said he believes "the freshman Seminar Program
drew attention to the fact that there is a need for information
on educational programs at the University."
He said the Center for Educational Change is putting out an
"alternative campus handbook" intended to fill this need. The
handbook, which will be distributed to all incoming freshmen,
will discuss the integrated student program, the American
studies program, passfail privileges and other educational
opportunities available to students. Harper said.

When people shop for a small cor, they look for some very simple
basic values. Dependability. Economy of money and style. Good mileoge
and long life.
Those basics are our birthplace. The Model X the Model A, the
first mass produced station wagon name a basic idea, ond chances are
Ford built it.
Now to Ford Pinto.
Pinto is as simple and solid a small car as there is in the world.
And ifs priced lower than the three leading imports; lower than its major
U.S. competitor. Yet it has every basic modem necessity
A gutsy little engine that gets the some economical kind of gas
mileoge as the little imports.
A solickss-a-rock four speed transmission. Sports car steering.
A welded steel body with six coats of paint.
Ball-joint front suspension, and a wide stable stance on the rood.
Pinto is one small car that doesn't have to fear a superhighway.
And fina!!y: Pinto gives you comfortable interior leg and shoul
der room yet ifs only IVSt inches longer than the leading little import.
See the Pinto at your Ford dealer's. Ifs 40 years newer than the
Model A but ifs still the same basic idea.
When ydv get back to basics, Vu get back to FarcL
