Student learns to 'cheat'
Mike Zangari earned three collese cred
its last semester by learning how to cheat
at card games.
Zangari, a student in UNL's Centennial
College, did a videotaped documentary on
how to win poker games by card sharking.
He worked with two Centennial residents
and Centennial fellow Ric Marsh on the
project.
"The student designs his own courses, as
long as he can justify what he's doing,"
Zangari said.
About 150 students are earning college
credit this semester through the Centennial
program.
According to Nelson T. Potter, senior
fellow and associate professor of philoso
phy, the program is designed to let stu
dents "direct their own education and
pursue their own interests."
Pass-fail encouraged
"We encourage pass-fail so that students
will stop thinking about grades," Potter
said. "The emphasis is on being more crea
tive, autonomous and self-directed."
Centennial students are required to take
six hours of Centennial credit, and can
take as many regular UNL courses as they
want. According to Zangari, most students
take six to eight hours outside of
Centennial.
Centennial credit can be earned in a
variety of ways, Zangari said. Students can
take conventional college courses, such as
English and history, or they can design
their own courses. Several have earned
credit in wine tasting, opera and mime, he
said.
Two projects Centennial students are
working on this semester are a law project
ana a special student project, Potter said.
The law project consists of two senior
law students working with Centennial
students on criminal law principles. The
project, which is several years old, helps
undergraduates learn about the law, and is
especially good for pre-law students, Potter
said.
Centennial students are "breaking bar
riers" in the special student project, he
said. One of their interests is to develop
barrier-free buildings at UNL for the blind
and wheel chair victims, he said.
This includes the installment of ramps
instead of steps outside buildings and
elevators inside buildings, he said. -Blind
program
Several Centennial s'udents have been
reading course assignments onto tapes for
blind students, Potter said. Currently 10
Centennial students are in the program.
Twelve students are working with Gene
Harding, director of the Teaching' and
Learning Center, on a "personal semester"
project, designed for students who are
unsure of what they want to do in school.
. This program gives them opportunity to
explore possibilities.
The Centennial program employs 1 1 fel
lows, or instructors, who help students
direct their studies and approve their
projects. Eighty of the 150 Centennial stu
dents live in Neihardt Residence Center,
and most of the rest live off campus.
The residence program is run by the
housing office, but the Centennial aca
demic program is part of the instructional
budget, said Potter.
