page 8 daily nebraskan Wednesday, October 12, 1977 TONIGHT: QEULY DOUBLE DOUGH FREE With Any Pizza Upon Request There's Nothing Like it. Free University registration begins studies include wine tasting, theooiogy By Rod Murphy From theology to winetasting to sexuality, Free University will offer students an opportunity to learn something outside the normal college curriculum, accord ing to Jane Todd, chairperson of ASUN's Free University Committee. Interested students should register for courses Thurs day or Friday in the Nebraska Union from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Todd said. Free University, however, is not totally free. A $1 registration fee will help pay for the course description booklets, she said. Free University offers seven new courses this semester, Todd said. Winetasting has been offered in" the program before, but was not available last semester, Todd said. , Check schedule Other classes might be added later, Todd said. For a complete schedule students should check the course des cription booklet which will be available this morning, she said. The most popular courses probably will be winetasting and basic bicycling, she said. The average course is expected to run into December and most will be completed before dead week, she said. Classes will meet in various places, she said. About six will be taught in the Nebraska Union, others in instructor's homes or in places announced by the instructor. Students, Lincoln citizens and a UNL instructor will lead the classes, she said. One of the biggest problems with organizing Free U. has been lining up instructors, Todd said. Volunteer instructors "The program is totally voluntary". But the first thing people we contact want to know is how much they will get paid," she said. Free University has offered beginning guitar lessons. But, Todd says, since guitar instructors get so much money from private lessons, no one was found to teach voluntarily. ' Todd said she thought about 200 students would sign 7 fK AVINETASTWfc? YTI8?13VMU 3R? ml I up for the course. One reason for the relatively low en rollment is that students feel pressed for time by their regular classes. Todd said her involvement with the program revealed to her the apathy of students. The ASUN Free University committee includes her self and another member, Ken Christoffersen. "It's sort of disappointing " she said. "Out of 20,000 students only about 200 will register for classes." Todd, a junior accounting major, has chaired the ASUN committee for the past two semesters. She does it as a way to get involved, she said. "I see college as something more than just going to classes," she said. Her involvement with Free University also has allowed her to get to know people she wouldn't normally meet, she said. nmmm mmsMk mt m"mmm&mm IW) jrk "'wlM'l'',,WBiB yrur"i'L'L - V GUNNY'S COMPLEX 245 N. 13th 10-6 Mon.-Sat.

Folks in Lincoln, however, are limited to a 10 to 15 percent partial eclipse. Edward Schmidt, UNL associate profes sor of astronomy, said the eclipse will cause no noticeable darkening when it reaches its peak at 3:50 p.m. Schmidt said partial eclipses occur in a given location every two to four years, with total eclipses occuring every 300 to 400 years. The date of the next total eclipse in Nebraska has not been calcu lated, he said. The department of physics and astro nomy is not planning any special observa tion of the event because the sun's outer layers are invisible except during total eclipses, he said. A total eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, throwing a shadow on the earth, he said. The combination has no effect on weather or climate, but does cause higher than normal tides because of the combined gravitational effects of the sun and moon, Schmidt said. However, Schmidt said the combination occurs every month during full or new moon phases when the shadow normally misses the earth entirely. He warned against looking directly at the sun at any time, either with the naked eye or with sunglasses. He recommends viewing an image projected U.ough a pinhole. The Prairie Astronomy Club will have projecting devices set up at Hyde Commun ity Observatory in Holmes Park today dur ing the eclipse, according to Jack Dunn, coordinator of planetarium programs. Class prevents sticky fingers ' Two Lincoln police officers are teaching store managers and employees how shop lifters work and how to catch them, according to officer Shelley Zalman, Zalman and officer Mick Mickle are trying to educate all the businesses in the city now because shoplifting increases in November and December, she said. The city-wide program is is geared to help cut down on shoplifting during those months, she said. In 1976, 1,023 shoplifters were caught in Lincoln, she said. The value of goods taken by them totaled $25,000 and the average offender was white, female, and between 1 8 and 24, she said, Petty larceny, which includes thefts up , to $300, is a misdemeanor. Suspects usual ly are cited and released, she said. The average fine for first offenders is $60, but they can go to jail for up to six months, she said. Second offense petty larceny is a felony, punishable by up to $500 andor two years in the penal complex, she said. r Introducing.
