QftS&
TV spots fill
edUCatiOn gap By TV Aunt Hannah
pae 8

Christmas vacation poses a problem for
many UNL students.
"The semester is almost over," these
students can be heard wailing, "and yet our
thirst for knowledge is unquenched! Tell us
what to do."
They have nothing to fear with Aunt
Hannah so near. A host of informative pro
grams will air during Christmas break to
fill almost anyone's educational gap.
On Dec. 22, Betty Fumess hosts an
NBC documentary on the $25 billion-a-year
charity business.
"From head to toe," said Eliot Frankel,
the show's producer, "every major organ of
the boJy has a charity." Aunt Hannah will
tune in midway.
On Jan. 5, NBC is devoting three hours
of prime time to Foreign Policy: 1976.
Among others, President Ford will be inter
viewed. Also on Jan. 5, ABC will present a two
iour preview of the Winter and Summer
Olympics. They will examine top conten
ders and preparations for both the Inns
bruck and (cross your fingers) Montreal
;vents.
It hardly seems necessary to mention,
but the UNL football team meets Arizona
State University in the Fiesta Bowl, Dec.
26, on CBS.
For this week, Aunt Hannah
recommends:
Bob Hope's Christmas Party
will be shown Sunday at 7 p m.
on Channel 3.
