J-Schoo! observed in program
By Chuck Beck
The UNL School of Journalism was
observed Tuesday through Thursday by
an eight-member visitation committee,
which will evaluate the School's prog
ress in the Areas of Excellence (AOE)
program.
The AOE, established last year,
designated six areas to receive extra
funding over the 1973-74 budget to
develop their programs. Besides journa
lism, other areas identified in the
three-year program are chemistry, life
sciences, crop physiology, animal
science and nontraditional education,
which is administered by the UML
Teachers College.
: Each area will be evaluated by
visitation committees. Members are
selected by the Academic ' Planning
Committee, coilege deans, UNL Chan
cellor James Zumberge and the chancel
lor's staff, according to Alan T.
Seagren, Chairman of Educational
Administration.
The School of Journalism was the first
area observed by a visitation committee,
which is composed of three professors
from other universities, a UNL student,
two Legislative fiscal analysts and a

The "massive discrimi
nation" against part-time
students in American uni
versities investigated by
the American Council on
Education (ACE) appears
to apply partially at UNL.
An ACE report said
part-time students, now a
majority at universities
nationwide,, are discrimi
nated against in tuition

Thdre 'ae1 currently'
4,703 part-time students
enrolled at UNL, accord
ing to Robert Reid of the
Academic Services office.
This is about 22.5 per cent
of the total enrollment.
The number of UNL
part-time students receiv
ing financial aid "could be
counted on two hands,"
according to Jack Ritchie,
director of scholarships
and financial aid at UNL.
The university, how
ever, has little voice in the
matter, he said.
Most of the student
grant money that goes
through the university is
not available to part-time
students, Ritchie said, be
cause each scholarship
has its own trust agree
ment set up by tne'donor.
' "Typically, we will give
preference to full-time
students, though we won't
discount financial need to
part-time students."
Ritchie said the student
who works in order to
finance h'S part-time edu
cation is encouraged to
change to full time and
then apply for financial
aid.
"Discrimination" in
pther areas varies.
STudent football tickets
may be purchased only by
students who have regi
stered for 12 or more
credit hours and the same
requirement stands for
participation in the Greek
rush program.
Part-time students are,
however, allowed parking
permlts, and students
registered for six hours or
moro may live in resi
dence halls. A student
carrying fewer than six
hours must get special
permission to live in a
residence hall.

Journalism faculty members repre
senting other schools are: Milton Gross
of the University of Missouri-Columbia;
Ben Yablonsky of the University of
Michigan-Ann Arbor and Edward G.

Lawrence. Fred Jacobbergerof Omaha,
the governor's appointee, and UNL
student Wes Albers also are on the
visitation committee.
Other members include Regent Ker
mit Hansen ancr legislative fiscal
analysts Alan Moeller and Judy Corlis.
Faculty members on the visitation
committee attended classes and inter
viewed the School's chairman Neale
Copple and journalism faculty mem
bers. The committee met with Copple
and Zumberge Thursday afternoon to
give them a preliminary evaluation of
the visit. A written report of the
visitation will be submitted to Copple
and Zumberge in a few weeks, Seagren
said.
The School of Journalism has set two
goals in its AOE, Seagr&n said. The first
is to maintain a quality undergraduate
program and to establish a graduate
journalism program, he said.
You can do it, too. So far over 550,000 other people have done it. People who
have different jobs, different IQs, diffeient interests, diffcent educations have
completed the course. Our graduates are people from all walks of life. These
people have all taken 8 course developed by Evelyn Wood, a prominent
educator. Practically all of them at least tripled their reading speed with equJ or
better comprehension. Most have increased it even more.
Think for a moment what that means. All of them- even the slowest-now read
en average novel in less than two hours. They read an entire issue of Time or
Newsweek in 35 minutes. They don't skip oi skim. They read every word. They
use no machines. Instead, they let the material they're reading determine how
fast they red. And mark this well; they actually understand more, remember
more, end enjoy more than when they read slowly. That's right! They
understand more. They remember more. They enjoy more. You can do the same

This is the same course President Kennedy had his Joint Chief! of Staff taka.
The staff of President Nixon completed this course in June 1970. The tame on

Come to a Mini-Lesson and find out. It is free to you and you will leave with a
better understanding of why it works. One thing that might bother you about
your reading speed is that someone might find out how slow it it. The
Instructors at the Evelyn Wood Rrading Dynamic! Free Speed Reading lesson
will let you keep your secret. It's true we practice the first step to improved
reading at a Mini-Lesson and we will increase your reading speed on the spot, but
the result will remain your secret. Plan to attend a free Mini-Letson and learn
that it is possible to read 3 4 5 times faster, with comparable comprehension.
