Wednesday, november 15, 1978 daily nebraskan page 11 UNL chosen as a model for general education project UNL has been chosen as one of twelve schools to parti cipate in the project on General Education Models in Washington D.C. at Marymount College, according to Max Larsen, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences. "The criteria for the selection of schools included the potential for seriously re-examining undergraduate educa tion and devising new and improved programs, where needed," he said. The support of the administration and faculty and the commitment of resources, if necessary to make changes, also were factors. Larsen, along with History Professor John Yost, stu dent representative Eric Sandberg, Music Professor Larry Lusk, English Professor Gerry Brookes and Speech Com munications Professor BUI Seiler will participate in the program Thursday through Sunday. The GEM project is sponsored by the Society for Values in Higher Education and is funded by the Exxon Foundation, Larsen said. GEM has been established to cre ate a nationwide consortium of colleges and universities that can serve as models for the improvement of general education, according to Larsen. Red carpet rolled out for scholars This year's Red Carpet Days for high school students, coordinated by the Student Alumni Board, will be Friday and Saturday. "The main purpose is to show the positive aspects of the university and why it is a great place to come to," said Rob Severin, Red Carpet Days chairman. This year there is a new emphasis, as merit scholars, in addition to regent scholars, are being invited to visit the campus, Severin said. Merit scholarships are nationally awarded, while regent scholarships are awarded to Nebraska high school students by the NU Board of Regents. Red Carpet activities begin Friday morning at the Alumni House with opening remarks by Lori Rosenlof, board coordinator and Richard Armstrong, vice chancellor for student affairs, Severin said. Lunch will be served at the East Union, where UNL Chancellor Roy Young will speak. Students are scheduled to attend mini sessions Friday afternoon which deal with financial aids, admissions and advising, student organiza tions, fraternities and sororities and residence halls, he said. Friday's final event will be a pizza party at the Alumni House. Students will be staying the residence halls with last year's merit winners, he said. There will be a breakfast at Alumni House Saturday morning and tours of city campus.

He said 1 16 students were invited, but many couldn't attend because of a conflict with a music program this weekend. "A pretty high percentage of those who came to the program last year decided to attend the university. There hasn't been a study but I'm sure it's pretty big," Severin said. The specific goals of Project GEM are: -to develop coherent models of general education that are effective for different kinds of institutions and students. -to assist participating colleges and universities to design and establish improved education programs that will provide students with better education and experiences. -to provide faculty members opportunities for profes sional development which derive from teaching or context. -to have a better understanding of the barriers to the improvement of general education and design strategies to overcome them. The project encourages student participation, Larsen said. The Task Force on Undergraduate Education includes representatives from the Student Advisory Board and all students. "It doesn't make sense to evaluate a curriculum unless you have a good student input. "The task force will soon devise a method for soliciting student opinions about the quality of their undergraduate education and their ideas for improvement," he said. 0' 0rwelnn Raven Spor, (DjobblER CjjivEAWAy Register for Free Turkeys Free Balloons Free Apple Cider Saturday ' ri w I ST m Sj 8 g 0 Glass Menagerie 1 2th & Q streets November 16, 17 (10am-9pm) November 18 (10am-6pm) Sales in Every Store Daily SI Triarco Jta3 Hore ARTS CRAFTS i Special This Week On Famous Name From Avalon-Hill, SPI, TSR and More AvalonHIII Outdoor Survival Third Reich Panzer Leader Panzer Blitz Squad Leader Reg. $11.99 11.99 11.99 11.99 11.99 Sale $9.88 9.88 9.88 9.88 9.88 TSR Game Dungeon & Dragons $ 9.95 Dungeon 9.95 Sale Prices Effective Through Sunday.
