"Until recently there was no
effort to teach law in the
schools and the first contact
many had was when a kid got
in trouble. Law is an important
American institution and I find
it incomprehensible that it
hasn't been studied," Frank
said.
The movement in education
of teaching moral reasoning,
emphasizing concepts rather
than facts, has also made the
study of law more important,
Tip said.
"There is a feeling that it is
important for kids to think for
themselves-even first graders
can begin to think of the basic
elements of the law-fairness,
freedom, justice and privacy,"
he said.
More complex
For older students moral
reasoning becomes more
complex, he said.
"Secondary students can see
the legal system tends io
resolve conflicts of society's
values-students can see why
there is a rule and what are the
alternatives.
An example might be search
and seizure laws. Laws have to
balance everyone's right to
privacy as well as the right to
be free of crime on the streets,
he said.
Frank said secondary
students should also
understand how the legal
system works and some basic
elements of what he called
"street law" including when to
make a contact, rights of the
arrested person, consumer
rights and even law in the
world order.

New students join faculty
for introductory retreat
Favorable responses from participants of a May retreat for
faculty and students have led to the planning of two more retreats.
Although the dates have not been set, Gene Harding, director of
the Teaching and Learning Center and coordinator of the retreats,
said he hopes they will be held before the middle of September.
The overnight retreat, which was held at a camp near Milford,
Neb., was organized to bring faculty and students together in an
informal setting, Harding said.
Of the 36 people attending, about half were faculty. The rest
were current UN-L students and incoming freshmen.
The faculty participants were chosen from recommendations
and from those who had shown interest in activities of this type,
Harding said.
He said he tried to choose a variety of faculty, coming from city
and east campuses and from different departments.
AS UN helped recruit current students and the fteshmen were
picked from a list of new students. t .,
Roger Welsch, UN-L English professor, spoke on Nebraska
history and folklore which, "allowed us all to be students
together," Harding said.
Written evaluations of the retreat showed the participants
agreed the retreat had been worthwhile and fun, although there
was some disagreement on structure of the retreat, Harding said.
Most of the new students wanted more planned activities, while
the faculty and current students generally liked the loose structure,
he said.
The retreat was funded by private foundation funds.
