vr 'V w v ' w " Centennial students studying projects The culture, philosophy and language of the Sioux Indian is intriguing UNL students for a fourth semester this fall as one of several Centennial Education Program (CEP) projects being studied by Centennial students. Nelson Potter, CEP director, said some projects last all semester, but if "the participants in a project agree that the useful work of ihe project has beencompieted in the middle of a semester, the project then will be terminated. ' ' The Lakota Sioux Language project is just one of the many projects students are working on at Centennial this semester. pynthia Dessel, a junior in CEP, is working on the Lakota project.. The project is in its fourth semester of existence. She said the 15 to 20 students in the project learn the Sioux language and study the culture and mythology of the Sioux Indian. Mostly white students At first, she said, mostly white students were involved in the project, but Indian student participation in the Tuesday-Thursday meeting of the group has increased. CEP offers students an oppportunity to earn six hours credit each semester by working on projects which interest them. Potter said students or fellows (teachers in CEP) propose the projects. The projects can be worked on individually or in groups. Fylis Falk, a sophomore in CEP, said one of her projects, "art and culture", involves learning to appreciate styles in art and music. The "art and culture" project is sponsored by Potter and involves nine CEP students. The project began this semester. Aesthetics values Potter said the question the project is pursuing is, "Are there some universal aesthetics values, so that it is possible to appreciate and understand the art of another culture, without having any knowledge of the culture that produced it? Or is it more correct to say that art is essentially a project of culture, and can be understood and appreciated only in the context of a thorough knowledge of the culture that produced it?" Falk is also doing a project on field biology. The four students in the project go to Wilderness or Pioneer Parks once a week and observe the changes in color of leaves, bark on trees, insects, fungus and animals. The observations are then nt ani&r&ri In a innrnal she said. ' ,This've?ar fewer freshmen students, Sre'ji ' according to Potter, but more upperc!assm coming into CEP.
