Career
advising helps SmOOth path Summertime personnel
changes made at UMA
for incoming 'exploring' freshmen
By John Ortmann
UNL students are explorers in the world of knowledge,
according to Lawrence Bundy, director of Undergraduate
Advising.
"With 4,000 freshmen you will get some variety,"
Bundy said. He added that many freshmen are here to sort
things out at first. ;
He said that while there is no discernable movement
from one field to another, he has noticed shifts over time
related to what fields have received a lot of publicity.
Bundy said this often results in students entering fields
they have no real interest or aptitude in.
. "A lot of the students we deal with are frustrated,
haven't planned or taken advantage of career-planning
help," Bundy said. .
In this respect, UNL is typical of large land grant uni
versities, Bundy said, but added that UNL draws a capable
group of students. Bundy said that while UNL has an
"open door policy" on admissions,. 80 per cent of fresh
men come from the top half of their graduating classes.
Career booklet - .
Bundy said career advising is a growing concern at the
college level. UNL conducted an 18-month study that re
sulted in a Career Assistance Resource Handbook. Bundy
said the handbook covers career opportunities in most
college and department majors.
The handbook is available at libraries and from
students' advisers. Bundy added he would like to see the
handbooks given to all freshmen but no money has been
budgeted for this. ,
" Frank Hallgren, director of Career Planning and Place
ment, agreed that UNL students are explorers. Students in
college often discover new interests and fields they did
Sheldon . . .
Sheldon will feature the milestone film, The Battle of
Chile, by Patricio Guzman Oct. 26 through 29. The film
portrays the rise and overthrow of Salvador Allende's
Popular Unity Government in Chile.
In the process of filming, the crew had to use different
sets of false press credentials, put up with searches pf their
homes, kidnapings and arrests. The film was smuggled
bit by bit out of the country. The three-hour, two-part
series has won numerous awards including the Grand Prize
at the Grenoble International Film Festival.
"One of the most important films will be our last film,
Food from Trash by Gary Hill," Ladely said. "Gary is
from Lincoln and the film is a part documentary-fiction-
not know existed, he said-.
"We feel that it is healthy for people to explore,"
Hallgren said.
Last year was one of the best in recent years in terms
of offers to graduates, Hallgren said. Of the recruiters who
came to UNL, most were looking for engineers, account
ants and other career oriented people, he said.
Flexible careers
Hallgren said , few liberal arts graduates got jobs that
were directly related to their fields of study. Hallgren
pointed out that suph people often take jobs where
personal qualities are more important than acquired skills.
He said marketing requires aggressiveness and sales ability
and if the person has these qualities, field of study is of
secondary importance.
Hallgren thinks Nebraskans have broader horizons in
picking a career than some other groups. Nebraskans be
lieve they can do more things and are more flexible in
career choices, he said.
"Nebraskans are not as conscious of stereotypes of
what is appropriate for a college graduate," Hallgren said.
. Hallgren's office sends a letter to each graduate one
month after graduation to learn employment status. Of
41 1 May graduates from the College of Arts and Sciences,
placement office files indicated 62 were employed at grad
uation. 189 planned to attend graduate schools and 188
were unemployed.
Hallgren said many factors enter in to the unemployed
total. In addition to those who are unable to find work, ,
he said, some plan to move to other v arts of the country Tj
ueiore seeding wonc, some nave spouses wno nave iouna
work in other areas and some have-married and given jip
career plans.
The University of Mid America (UMA) has undergone a
number of personnel changes this summer which could
alter the management profile of UMA.
UMA is a consortium of nine Midwestern state univer
sities. It was founded in 1974 to develop television-based
open learning courses for colleges and universities across
the country.
Gene G. Gage, president and director of the American
Scandinavian Foundation in New York City, was named
secretary of. UMA's board of directors and trustees.
He is a native of Palisade, a Lincoln Southeast and
the University of Nebraska graduate.
Named as the delivery system coordinator for UMA
was Dr. Wayne Hartley. He has been assistant to the dean
of the Division of Continuing Education at the University
of Kansas (KU). He served on a number of projects while
atKU.
He will be in charge of the development and delivery
divisions of UMA.
Another personnel change was the resignation of Dr.
Ronald J. Turner as director of development and
assistant to the executive vice president of UMA.

The Sheldon Film Theater also is taking some new
directions with the creation of the Film Research Library,
of files on filmmakers, film periodicals, books, and
reviews. -
"The film theater needs donations in addition to
attendance," Ladely said. "We need any large tax
deductible donations, as well as donations in the box
outside the theatre. We also need volunteers to sell and
take tickets and workers in the film research library."
Ladely said he hopes this year's series will equal or
be better than last year's, which attracted 40,000 viewers.

Kathleen Quinlan gives a remarkably fine contained
performance. How Deborah, with the help of one
remarkable doctor, is eventually able to recognize her
own pain and thus come to some kind of terms
with her demons is the moving substance of
thiS film... -Vincent Canby, The New York Times
"It is a moving reminder of the
strength and indomitability of
the human spint...The
performances are all
superb.. .It Is Kathleen
Quintan's performance
as Deborah that
truly illuminates the
whole film..fc"
