University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) chancellor Del Weber.
Nebraska native comes home,
fills UNO chancellor position
As a student at UNL in the early 60's,
Del Weber never dreamed he would return
someday as a chancellor of one of its three
campuses.
In fact, at one time he had doubts he
would even get a degree.
But he did, and this year Weber
returned to his home state as the new
chancellor of the University of Nebraska at
Omaha (UNO).
"School was nip and tuck for me finan
cially," Weber said. He earned his bache
lor's degree in history at Midland Lutheran
College in Fremont and his master's and
doctorate in education at UNL.
Having worked his way through school
has helped him identify better with the
UNO students because nearly 75 percent of
the students at UNO work, he said.
After being graduated from UNL in
1962, Weber became a full-time faculty
member at Arizona State University (ASU)
in Tempe. Immediately before returning to
Nebraska, he was Dean of the College in
Education at ASU.
As the new chancellor, Weber said he
has set his goals on "continuing the
momentum towards aualitv at the school.
"Our emphasis is on refining and polish
ing the programs already established at the
school," Weber said.
As for problems facing UNO, Weber
said, "There are no problems, just oppor
tunities." However, Weber acknowledged there are
a few rough spots at the school, but park
ing is a large problem.
"We are presently studying the op
tions," Weber said, "but there is no quick
solution."
Weber declined to name any other
problems facing UNO.
"There are distinct differences between
the two campuses, so the needs of the
students are different," Weber said.
UNO is only a place of opportunity,
providing education for Nebraskans, he
said.
"It Vjust great to be back in Nebraska",
Weber said. He was accompanied by his
wife, Lou Ann, also a Nebraska native, a
daughter, Kelly, 12 and a son, Bill, 21.
Still in Arizona is 18-year-old Beth, a fresh
man at ASU.

Hour, for 25 years, will be addressing an

Early registration increases
Second semester early registration forms
are being accepted on a first-come, first
served basis until Friday Nov. 18 according
to Assistant Director Tony Schkade.
Schkade, assistant director of the office
of registration and records, said his office
has processed 12,654 early registrations,
600 more than at this time last year.
Schkade said a greater number of stu
dents have turned in registration forms
earlier possibly because they want a better
chance of getting the classes they sign up
for. He said that last semester many stu
dents, especially those in the Colleges of
Business Administration and Agriculture,
found the courses they wanted were fill
ed. He said he encourages students to
register early in order to take advantage
of the free drop and add in December.
"If in doubt, register early," he said.
This also applies to students who are not
sure they will attend UNL second semester,
he noted. If students register early and
decide not to attend second semester
before Dec. 16, they can get the $25 class
reservation deposit refunded.
