I y u Regent outlines year's goals The newly elected chairman of the Board of Regents said he sees the board's major task for 1974 as continuing implementation of the University's Five-Year Plan Toward Excellence. Kermit Hansen said he feels the University is making progress in the academic goals set out in the two-year-old study, but the board must maintain "the proper financial support and an atmosphere that leads to excellence." The Omaha regent said part of that is included in the board's task immediately ahead: working out the University's budget with the Legislature and governor. But he said the rest must be determined as the year goes along. Hansen was elected board chairman by fellow regents at the board's monthly meeting Jan. 5 in Lincoln. He has been on the board 3'2 years since being appointed by then-Governor Norbert Tiemann to finish out the term of Omahan Richard Herman. Hansen is now serving his own six-year term since his election in 1972. He said he sees the role of board chairman as a "point of communication to the boaid." Kermit Wagner of Schuyler was elected vice'ehairman and Dr. Robert Prokop of Wilber was named regents' representative to the University of Nebraska Foundation. Also at the meeting, the regents instructed NU administrators to do what they could to see that Nebraska veterinary students at Colorado State University were not phased out of that school's program. UML Chancellor James Zumberge told the board that he had heard unofficial rumors that the Colorado Legislature was pressuring Colorado university administrators to open up more slots tor stat" residents, which would rvjn eliminating out of ;t uc students.

Varner said the project has drawn favorable national attention as a thorough, innovative approach to education for people of all ages. Psychology and accounting will piobably be the first two courses offered, according 10 McBride. Each course will cost about $500,000 to produce, he said, but NU plan:; to market them nationally to recover the cost. He said the course material was prepared by panels of educators and presented by professional actors. iVU V pli-'fc i locatf ?0 iese.jrtl'1 "renters' m the stafe for SUN students.
