Introduction to Beekeeping, Backyard Astronomy,
Personal Defense for Women and a Stop Smoking Clinic
are among courses offered this spring through Communi
versity and Women's Programs, a project of the NU Ex
tension Division.
-- Commu'niversity and Women's Programs is a series of
about 50 non-credit special interest courses open to any
one, said Chuck Havlicek, program coordinator for the
Extension Division's Conferences and Institutes Dept.,
which planned the programs. .,.'.
The courses, help fulfill the Extension Division's re
sponsibility for extending university resources to the com
munity; thus the name "Communiversity," Havlicek said.
Classes meet for varying lengths of time. For example,
a Health Care for Horses class meets only once, Monday
April 12, but a class called Life Insurance Purchasing-The
Informed Consumers Approach meets five times, beginn
ing Tuesday March 2. The series' earliest courses begin
Feb. 23 and most are finished by the end of May.

The other five events will be the Bicentennial Quilt

Havlicek said most classes are taught by UNL faculty
members who were asked to participate in the project.
Six classes are taught by non-faculty members who have
experience in the specific subjects, he said.
The project receives no tax or university money, so
teachers' salaries and operating costs are paid with regis
tration fees, Havlicek said.

NUPIRG backed consumer center
to give students buying information
By Betsie Amnions 1 .
Students desiring information on products they con
sider purchasing now have an on-campus location to check
them out-the Consumer Information Center, sponsored
by the Nebraska University Public Interest Research
" Group (NUPIRG).
The purpose of the center is to provide buying infor
mation for UNL students, said senior Pam Cameron,
center director. The center is in the NUPIRG office, Neb
raska Union 336, and is open Wednesdays from 10 ajn.
to 4 pjn. and Thursdays from 10 ajn. to 4 pjn. and from
7 to 9 pin. It opened Feb. 18.
Pamphlets concerning different products and how to
be an effective consumer are found in the center,
Cameron said. If the needed data is not there, they can
tell students where it can be found, she said.
Cameron, a consumer affairs major from Lincoln, said
she is associated with the center as an individual study
project.
The idea for the Consumer Information Center origi
nated with Don Wesely, a junior university studies major
from Lincoln. He said he thought of the center because
"there was no place for students to go with their unique
consumer problems."
He said student dollars are scarce, and the center is
designed to help them stretch their budgets and use their
money with the most efficiency.
, Public Interest Research Groups at other universities
have consumer education programs, Wesely said, adding
that experiences at those universities indicated there was
room on this campus for student consumer education.
This is NUPIRG's first step in training students to be
better consumers, he said. Future projects may include
the compilation of a booklet on buying tips for students
and formulation of study groups to examine prevalent
consumer problems, he said.
Studies in the United States have shown that purchases
researched most often are major ones, such as cars,
Cameron said, adding that she thinks they will be the
focus at UNL. She said information on food costs, invest
ments, contracts, and mortgages also will be provided at
the center. -
Cameron said the center will be staffed by herself,
Wesely and NUPIRG member Greg Heineman, a junior
economics major from Omaha. Another person referred to
NUPIRG by Student Volunteer Services, also will help,
she said.
Financing for the center comes from money allocated .
to NUPIRG from UNL student fees, said Wesely, who also
is chairman of the Fees Allocation Board. NUPIRG re
ceived $675 to operate this year, and about $200 of that
will go to the center, Wesely said.
