Dale Hayes, professor of Education Ad ministration, and John Gradwohl, profes sor of Law are creators and directors of the , program. Students participating will complete up to five years of study, earning both a law degree and a Fh J. in education adminisj-a-tion, according to Hayes. The Ford Foundation, which awards grants to educational institutions for re search, was founded by automaker Henry Ford. Hayes said the program, which will start next fall, is designed for people already in the education profession, such as school superintendents and associate chancellors of universities. He said a prerequisite of the program is a master's degree in education administration. - Administrators with law degrees will be qualified to handle legal problems without hiring another lawyer, Hayes said. He said programs such as ,the one at UNL will reduce " the shortage of education law teachers. Hayes said the program evolved from a course in education administration and law taught by Gradwohl and himself. He said they recognized the need for a joint degree program with the growing enrollment of the class. ".' Although, the University of California Berkeley and Harvard University have Ford Foundation grants for research in law and education, UNL is the first to offer a degree in both, Hayes said. inside 4 ' liwiji Education Innovator: K.

Gradwohl said the foundation reviewed jfour different working budgets by he and Hayes to determine how much money would be awarded. "We were hoping for a little larger grant, Gradwohl said. He added that more aid may be given after the program starts. Gradwohl said that $85,000 of the grant wOl be used for student aid and the remain ing money for financing the program. Students working on a joing degree will spend their first year primarily studying law courses, Gradwohl said, lie said six hours will concentrate on courses simul taneously teaching education, administra tion and law.. Gradwohl said the law school will accept nine hours of education administra tion courses, on topics concerning school policies and finances. He added that 12 hours of law courses will be recognized by the college of education administration. Gradwohl said that in addition to courses already used, new courses now are being developed. These will deal with politics of educa tion administration and legal issues in public employment,' be explained. "The joint degree program will create a new specialty of law practice, Gradwohl said. He said that options include repre senting teachers associations and different ' organizations within universities. "Law jobs are getting harder to find, he said. "That increases the need for specializing in a certain type of law." Gradwohl said he thinks the develop ment of what he called "interdisciplinary courses" such as this are "of tremendous value to the university." He said it is a "realUvery inexpensive" education," and adding faculty members to 1 teach the course will not be necessary. This Is the third interdisciplinary program- the Law College has developed, he said. There is a master's program in Eco nomics and Law, and a PhD. in Law Psychology, he added. s Gradwohl said there may be a project between the colleges of business and law in ; the future. , " li A. - jt A IS ": - i 9 I- -a f " - ,,, '. . - . i r X.. s k Photo by Stem Baoraor .

But lines are longer, prices higher and paper cups smaller. Bob Richeson, assistant director of food service at the Union, sSd he had few choices in his attempts to deal with inflation and more mouths to feed. Union food services are self-supporting, and do not receive money from student fees. The City Campus Union makes a profit and must support the East Campus u&Son, h said. Both unions are non-profit institutiott?. ' No mere staff It is impossible to add more staff to accommodate the crowds, Richeson said, because tine Union is "budgeted for x-auisiber (of staff) for the year." The budget is determined by the amount of business done each year in relation to food costs. Richeson said the only change would be an increase in part-time student help. "The change In food costs is phenomen al " Richeson said. Meat (especially pork, bacon and sausage), sugar, m2k and Ice are more expensive, he said. Cheese sandwiches now cost 30 per cent more than a hamburger. One of the roost noticeable change has been in tha size of drinks. A "huge jump" to paper prices in addition to prices of sugar, coke syrup, ice and labor caused the reduction, Richeson said. ; '. Sizes shaved "v ' Cup sizes were shaved from l4-z. to 12 oz., and still sell for 20 cents. A larger ste will be offered sometime, he said. Richeson said he "felt it was unfair to raise the price to 25 cents" because the inciease would essentially be used to pay for the paper cup, not the drink. Richeson sets prices for the City and East Campus Unions. "We strive to have the lowest prices we can," he said. Other costs The cost of meat is not the only factor that determines the cost of hamburgers, however. In setting food costs, Richeson said he considers labor, laundry, dry cleaning, crater, lights, gas, cleaning, insurance and telephone bills, postal fees, permits, licen ses and freight. Another major expense s what Riche son called the "outfitting of students' apartments with Union china and silver ware." He said "replacement (costs) ol silver and china far outweigh breakage (costs)." The only physical changes k the Union food service will be remodeling of the Colonial Dining Room. The dining room will close Nov. 21 and reopen Dec, 8, offerirsg a new soup and salad bar.
