Students find travel expensive By Ivy Ha per. For manv UNL students this year, thanksgiving will not mean sharing thanks with tnelr families. Students who don't live in Nebraska have found traveling home for both Christmas and Thanksgiving has be come too expensive. Most of those interviewed have chosen to go home for Christmas rather than Thanksgiving. Tim Evensen, a senior from Long island, New York, said he used to be able to fly home for both holidays. But this year Evensen said he is staying in Nebraska and when he does go home for Christmas, he is going by car to save money. Evensen said he has had offers from friends who have invited him to their homes for Thanksgiving dinner. "The people in Nebraska are pretty friendly," Evensen said. According to airline spokesmen, United and Frontier airlines have raised their rates by 10 per cent since last year at this time. Spokesmen for both airlines . . said that even with this increase, they have not noticed a decline in student travel. "If students want to go home bad enough," one airline agent said, "they vill find a way to raise the money." Jeff Olson, a sophomore from Huron, S.D., said he plans to drive home this Thanksgiving, but he has made fewer trips home this year than last year. He said he is driving with a friend from Huron that would have to fly if they didn't team up. He said for a while he was worried that he wouldn't be able to go home for Thanksgiving. Pam Kenzie, a junior from Winona, Minnesota, said she has chosen to go home for just Christmas, because it is too expensive to drive home for both holidays. "There are several reasons why I'm not going home for Thanksgiving, but money plays the largest part," she said. Friends from Lincoln have invited her to . their apartment for Thanksgiving dinner, Pam ssid. Indian school problems topic Nebraskans interested in improving their awareness of Indian problems are invited to attend a meeting at the Indian Center, 903 0 Street, tonight at 7:30 p.m. The program, sponsored by the American Indian Awareness Project for Lincoln, will feature LaVoy Decoteau, chairman ot the Boa-n of Indian Education, who will speak on the problems Indian children face in public schools. " Project coordinator Imogene Boucher said the need for such a project became apparent when the American Indian Movement trials began In Lincoln. "People here don't understand the ways of Indians," she said. "They have a stereotyped image of us as silent, dumb, lazy peonle. We want to destroy that myth." The project Is financed by the Nebraska State Commission for Humanities, which issued the committee $10,000 for a 12-week period with the possibility of renewal later. "So far we have only reached a lot of people in churches," Boucher said. "But when we get re-funded, our eventual goal is to reach all the people of Lincoln and make them aware of what's happening." To do this Boucher said, speakers will go around to various groups and discuss the problems Indians ace Boucher, a UNL graduate student and Santee-Sioux Indian, said one ot the most irr'Portant areas of discrimination is in education Teachers can be very insensitive to the neods of the Indian children," she said. "I think it'S safl . to say that mosi Nebraska Indian ch Idren have gone to school on or near a reserva on When teaching white children, it's a! right to oush ihwn hto learning. Indian children have Tto be led unt they are interested, then pushed " "What we want to do is to reach the population of Lincoln In general and tear down the S3 stereotyped myths," she said page 6 daily nebraskan thursday, november 14, 1974
