Colleges may offer SUN credit
State University of Nebraska students in the
future may receive credit at the 22 Nebraska
public colleges as well as at the four SUN
learning centers, according to Milan Wall, SUN
regional planning coordinator.
Wall said the proposal is in the early planning
stages.
"We have to talk to representatives of the
colleges to see if they are interested and to see if
the proposal is feasible," he said.
The proposed system would represent a
departure from the original SUN concept of
operating a separate learning center to
supplement the college-at-home course study.
Coordinate programs
NU President D.B. Varner recently told a
Legislative Appropriations Committee at an NU
budget hearing that the proposal "would let us
coordinate continuing education programs
through the existing institutions."
SUN requested almost $158,000 in state tax
funds for its course delivery system.
Varner said the SUN courses can be delivered
for slightly more than $20 per credit hour, or
half the general fund appropriation to the state
colleges.

Nebraska can afford to support 22 separate
campuses as they now exist.
Any subject
"Any subject other than a strictly lab
approach could be taught" through SUN, Varner
said. And some courses, "properly developed"
could be used for four or five years before
updating would be required, he added.
Varner also proposed that SUN deliver all
liberal arts courses of Nebraska's technical
community colleges.
As an example, Varner said
vocational-technical students on the 1 1 Nebraska
technical college campuses could take all their
freshman English courses from SUN.
Eliminate duplication
Such an operation would offer high quality
instruction, eliminate unnecessary duplication of
courses on Nebraska's postsecondary campuses
and free vocational instructors from teaching
academic courses, Varner said'
Wall said Varner's proposal would involve
only SUN, not its regional outgrowth, University
of MidAmerica.
He said it may be useful for individuals to
register through the college nearest them, but
presently it is not possible.
Japanese studying at UNL
Special training in livestock sciences at UNL
this semester is giving 60 Japanese students the
opportunity to transfer their knowledge to
Japan.
The students are taking a special three-month
course in animal and poultry science at the
Nebraska Center on East Campus.
The course, according to Chuck Uavlicek,
program coordinator at the center, is designed to
"meet the students' basic needs in these sciences
for application on the farm."
The students are in the United States as
members of the Japanese Agriculture Training
Program, which is sponsored by the Japanese
Agriculture Training Council in Seattle, Wash.
Two years in U.S.
About 200 Japanese students are selected
each year to take part in a two-year training
program in the U.S, Havlicek said.
After arriving they undergo an extensive
three-month language training program, he said.
Then they are sent to host farms in the United
States where, Havlicek said, "they can learn
first-hand American agricultural techniques."
The host farms are primarily in the western
states, he said, but about 1 2 are in Nebraska.
After 12 to 15 months on the host farms,
they attend classes at universities throughout the
country. This is the educational phase of the
program, Havlicek said.
The course at UNL is the only one in animal
and poultry science, he noted. Other universities
offer similar courses in horticulture and grain and
fruit farming.
Return to farm
At the conclusion of the course, the students
return to the farms for the duration of the
two-year program to apply what they have
learned, he said.
Havlicek said that the course, which is
sponsored by the Nebraska Center Conference
Program, is divided into beef, dairy, swine and
poultry segments. He said the students are given
hypothetical problems in livestock management
and other livestock related areas
"We try to set up model farm programs for
each student for his specific area of Japan,"
Havlicek said.
He pointed out that the group are all good
students, mainly because they go through
rigorous agricultural training in Japan. He said
that the students, who are from 21 to 29 years
old, have had agricultural training in either high
school or in college.
Communication problems in the classroom are
eased with the help of four interpreters, he
added.
While at UNL, the Japanese students stay at
the Hall of Youth Dormitory at the Nebraska
Center. "
The current class at UNL will end March 28.
It is the eighth such class.
