A class entitled New Start, currently is offered at UNO for students who have been away from school for at least three years. How-to units are presented in study and writing skills, math and library use. Majorie Wikoff, program coordinator, said most students are returning because they suddenly need to work or prepare for a new life. .The three-year-old program has received favorable student reaction. There are ten students in the class, three men and seven women. "It's an incredible review of things I knew 20 years ago, and some I didn't know then," said Mary Helen Lemmers, 41, who is thinking about returning to school. "So far it's been fantastic. It helps mo review those barnacles that stick to you over lite." Lemmers said. She said she wishes her freshman daughter had taken the class before going to college. "It would be beneficial to any one going to college," she said. Each student is required to fill out time sheets and write down everything they do so they can budget their time. "It's an insight into what you're doing," Lemmers said. She recently was separated from her husband and if she returns to work, she said, she does not want to be a secretary again. Wikoff said UNL did not have such a class because it is a different type of campus. There are more part-time students at UNO. Another student, Doris Steenburg said, "The class helped me organize myself a little bit. It assesses very well the problems of being a student." The class helped her gain lost confi dence, she said. "The native ability is there, but the self-discipline is lacking," Steen burg said. "It would be invaluable help to any young person going to college. They have little knowledge of their lack of self discipline," she said. "It points the way and the rest is up to you," she said. Student Rita Sterling said the class improves study habits. Sterling, 33, said she may return to school and pursue a career. She has four children. "Even if I don't go on, what I do gain 1 can use," she said. "I really wish they had it in high school. It should be started there, Sterling said. "The students don't know how to study and aren't aware of a lot they could pick up." She said she has been helping her high school daughter with class material she has learned. The class helps students budget study time, read textbooks and prepare for exams, she said. Donor sought for landscaping Although still without a name, a plan to land? cape an area south of the East Union apparently wiH have no funding problems. At a meeting this month between the project's designers and East Campus and UNL administrators, a committee was formed to seek funding from the Universi ty of Nebraska Foundation. Naming the project was postponed in hopes a donor could be found to pay for it in return for having his name attached to the project. Edward Hirsch, foundation vice presi dent for public relations and development, said as much as $20,000 could be raised by this method. The estimated cost of the project is $40,875. Ray Coffey, UNL business manager, said that after July 1 grounds department funds also may be available. The money would come from funds budgeted for $pot repairs in the next fiscal year, he said.
