53t them (Ford and Carter) in a number of states,
iaddox said while campaigning at Gateway Shopping
Renter..
j The political establishment has decided who can and
ran't be heard, he said. We've been blacked out of the
called debates.
j They reminded me of the old silent films. I couldn't
Jail when the sound went off, he added.
addox said he blames both the Republicans and
Democrats for the country's problem.

Democrats-I agree with both of them, he said.

I Maddox walked up and down the mall, stopping at
stores, shaking hands and handing out pamphlets. He
greeted shoppers with a "Hey, good lady, vote for me and
IH work for you" and "Valt dont let nobody else get
, that vote.
At one store a necklace with a gold peanut was ad
vertised as "The Jimmy Carter Peanut."
j Maddox saw it and said, "Well, it's good to grow 'em
; and I k . - j eat em, but some people trunk like em and
he's (Carter) one of 'em. ,
Maddox said Carter should have withdrawn from the
race after the Playboy interview in which Carter made
some remarks about committing adultery in his mind.
Shouldn't be personal
"I don't think private personal things should be a part
of a campaign," he said. "Somebody should tie Jimmy
Carter's tongue and amputate Rockefeller's finger," refer
ring to Vice President Nelson Rockefeller making an ob
scene gester at a rally.
Maddox said the Ford administration and Henry -Kissinger
have placed America in a secondary position in
the world.

quishing of rights in the Panama Canal and said he would
fire Henry Kissinger the minute after he was inaugurated.

Life E
Dl
ning Workshop halps students find goals
"You won't get anything earth-shattering out of this "
Don Wesley, facilitator of the Life Planning Workshops,
said at the first workshop Sept. 18. "But you will get a
sense of the present, and take a look at the future and
make some plans for it,' he added.
The second session of the workshops, sponsored by the
UNL Counseling Center, is this Saturday.
Composing a personal coat of armswas the first exer
cise in the first workshop after the four participants intro
duced themselves. Because the workshops are discussion
oriented, the groups is limited to five persons, including
Wesley.
The carpeted room on third floor Seaton HaQ is filled
with a gambling hall atmosphere during the identifica
tion and stripping of roles Participants wrote the
five most significant roles they played in life on five separ
ate cards. They then discarded each role one at a time,
trying to imagine what their life would be like without
that role.
These exercises emphasized the importance of roles,
and helped participants form a clearer picture of them
selves and the goals they are striving for, Wesley said.. "If
you don't know what youll be doing in 30 years, this is
good stuff," Wesley said.
The final stages of the workshop consisted of reassum
, ing the discarded roles. Participants then defined some
personal goals and made a group effort to outline concrete
steps to achieve them.
"Maybe you thought that you'd come in here and we'd
give you a goal" Wesley said. "We'll show you how on
your own you can put a goal into realistic terms and make
'it possible."
The life Planning Workshop doesn't end when the five
hour session is over. Four to six weeks after the first meet
ing, the four participants will meet again to discuss their
progress. "If you came because you wanted to get some
thing done, you can do it," Wesley said.
Reactions to the workshop vary with each participant.
"Sometimes people change directions, it depends on how
they are when they come in," Wesley said. The workshop
generally results in a change of attitudes, he said.
"This has helped," one of the participants said of the
value of the workshop. "I can't expect this to set up my
life for me. I come to things like this to get me thinking."
Effectiveness of the workshop is also gauged by evalua
tions completed by group members. Questionnaires are
distributed to participants several days before the work
shop, immediately before and after the session, and at the
follow-up meeting several weeks later.
Results of the questionnaires has been "pretty favor
able," according to Sue Bukacek, workshops coordinator.
"The Counseling Center has broadened the Life Plan
ning Workshop in scope," she said. The workshop ful
fills one of the center's five goal areas that of career
planning.
Life Planning Workshops have been conducted at UNL
for five years, according to Bukacek. Participants mainly
have been students, but Bukacek added that some sessions
have been for faculty members to "make them aware of
what their students are going through." A faculty work
shop is scheduled for sometime this month.
Facilitators for the sessions are drawn mainly from a
leadership training course offered through the Educational
Psychology Dept., Bukacek said. The students must lead
two workshops to meet course requirements.
"We want people to come to grips with themselves and
where they'd like to go," Bukacek said. "We want them to
realize they can control their future, and show them how
to lake specific steps to realize their goals." ,
