Home for the holidays?
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
