Program
for study
in homes
gets grant
v.
The State University of Nebraska (SUN)
project has received notification of a $297,909
continuation grant from the National Institute
of Education (NIE), according to Jack McBride,
SUN executive director.
The grant will be used to continue research
activities of the SUN project through December
1973, while SUN's application for actual
operational support from NIE is being
evaluated, McBride said. He said he is confident
the application for funds will be approved.
The SUN projec t is a multi-media approach
to providing college courses at home, said
Milton Hassel, director of development for the
SUN project. The grant will provide for
additional research into the use of television for
formal adult education, he said.
Hassel said the research began two years ago
at the suggestion of NU President D.B. Varner.
He said Nebraska is the only state researching
such a program and will probably serve as a
model for the rest of the nation.
According to Hassel, there are 20,000 to
25,000 people in the state who want to take
college courses but for a variety of reasons find
it Impossible to attend classes on a university
campus. He said these people include working
mothers and fathers and the disabled.
Hassel said that besides setting up the
multi-media programing for the project,
support from NIE will help build and staff
resource centers at various places around
Nebraska.
There will be a tuition charge for the courses
offered, Hassel said. The charge will be
comparable to regular tuition, or slightly lower,
he said. J

Overweight students
figure in research
Think thin,
This old adage will take on a new meaning for several UNL
students during the next six months, according to Henry Baiters,
graduate student in psychology.
Baiters is beginning a research program designed for persons
who are at least 20 per cent overweight. If the program is
successful, students will learn to lose weight and keep it off, he
said.
According to Baiters, the program involves counseling students
on individual weight problems. He said the research should prove
to Ik; an "educational experience" for all involved.
Students who participate in the research first must get a
doctor's permission, Baiters said. The student also must submit to
several psychological tests as well as pay a $10 fee.
The fee, which will be returned after the six months of
research, serves as an incentive toward completion of the
program, he said.
Baiters said he got the idea for the research after studying
similar programs at Stanford University and the Veteran's
Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif.
"The basic premise behind the program is that many people
ne overweight because of bad eating habits," he said. "If they
(the participants in the research) can be made to change those
I j!''., they should logically lose weight. "
