south of ' stadium .
A Lincoln woman was injured in an accident on I Oth
and U streets south of Memorial Stadium Thursday after
noon. Jane Cooper, 1530 Regency Dr., was treated and re
leased from Lincoln General Hospital for cuts above her
left eye,after the car she was driving collided head-on
with a car driven by UNL junior Susan Leopard, 1125
N. 16th St., campus police said.
About $100 damage was done to Leopard's car and
about $35 to the Cooper car, said Campus Police patrol
man Ray Gibson, who investigated the accident.
Gibson said because of construction on the UNL Life
Sciences Bldg., parking and curb lines in that area have
not been painted, but the job has been authorized for
next week.
He said he doubted if the lack of stall lines contribu
ted to the accident. As of 6 pjn. Thursday, no charges
had been filed.

ourse will teach evaluation of education's quality
By Sandy lluhr
Like a person making a down payment on a car or a
grocery shopper squeezing a tomato, the student in class is
a product consumer.
Next fall UNL may offer a course designed to help stu
dents become more sophisticated education consumers.
It would expose students to different teaching styles
by teachers outstanding in their field, said Patricia
Cross, NU assistant vice-president for academic affairs and
coordinator of instructional programs.
Cross, program originator, said, "If we can help stu
dents become more analytical observers of their own
learning reactions," they can assume more responsibility
for the quality of their learning, as well as improve teach
ing quality.
In a three-credit-hour course for freshmen called Learn
ing Analysis (LAX students at both UNL and the Univer
sity of Nebraska at Omaha will be introduced to such
teaching methods as lecture, discussion and media-crknted
teaching. .
Cross sdd course instructors w21 be chosen by a facul
ty member advisory board based on nominations from
students and faculty members. Teachers must be recog
nized as outstanding in a learning strategy, she stld.
Students should be able to learn what a good learn
ing experience is and which type best suits them, Cross
srid. The first two or three weeks of the course w21 in
troduce principles of learning. Students will evaluate their
own leamMig styles.
The rest cf the semester will contain four subjects
trjht in four different learning methods by separate fac
ulty members.
Students will have the dual assignment of learning con
tenthistory, anthropology and economics-and
analyzing their reactions to the teaching strategy, Cross
said.
After each unit subject, tests will be given and stu
dents and teachers wi! evaluate effectiveness of that
unit's teaching method, she said.

The class and student-faculty member discussions will
be open to all faculty members, Cross added. In this way,
it will serve as a campus demonstration laboratory for
teachexs who want to learn different teaching styles, she
said.
Students also will evaluate the course by student learn
ing scales. Cross said students will be asked what they

dents say they learned group discussion or that the course
stimulated their interest in a certain subject, that is more
important than knowledge of course content, she said.
Cross currently is awaiting funds for the project from
the Kellogg Foundation and the Fund for the Improve
ment of Postsecondary Education. She said she is "85 per
cent confident" of receiving the money for a three-year
program at approximately $ 100,000 a year.

The board, which will be meeting at 9:30 ajn. in
Regents Hall, 3S35 Holdrege St, also will vote' on a
resolution by former University of Nebraska at Omaha
(UNO) Student Regent Clint Bellows, who was replaced in
UNO's March 26 election by Steve Shavers. If passed,
smoking and nonsmoking areas would be designated in all
university eating, study and recreational areas.
Bellows resolution states that cigarette smoking is
hazardous to the health of non-smokers as well as smokers
and that the university should "be concerned with the
physical as well as intellectual well-being of its students,
staff and general public.
Other items on the agenda include:
recommending prices for university basketball tickets
in the new University of Nebraska sports center. The
recommended price will not be available until the
meeting.
modifying previous action which required all uni
versity employes to take a driver safety program course.
Estimated cost of the program when the board voted on it
in November was S37.CCO. A revised estimated cost of
about S70.CCO prompted the modification requiring
only employes using state cars to take the driver safety
course.
