First brown bag lecturer
To help try listening
director
By Gordon Johnson
The key in helping someone reach his potential is listen
ing to that person, the director of the Nebraska Human
Resources Foundation said last Thursday.
Galen Dodge, who has been Jhe director for seven years,
spoke to about 50 people in the Nebraska Union Main
Lounge. His speech was the first in a series of 10 "Brown
Bag Lectures" scheduled weekly by the University Pro
grams Council.
Dodge explained what a difference a significant person
can make In another's life.
People who know how to make a difference are able to
listen to someone. Through listening they can excite the
person into Wanting to achieve his potential, he said.
A significant person could be a teacher, friend or
parent anyone who sparks another Into achieving his
potential, he said.
Many problems young people have stem from parents
who would not listen to them, he said.
"Some psychologists believe that 75 percent of all
.teenage problems would not exist if parents only listened
for 15 minutes each day," he said.
Listening, Dodge explained, means listening and not
talking.
When a person listens, he said, he Is able to reach
another person by finding his or her hot button."
A person's "hot button," is his special interests or ideas,
Dodge explained. Something that would trigger a person
into a clearer realization of what he is like, he added.
The research foundation is involved In many areas of
helping people find out what they are like, Dodge said.
Presently, he said, the foundation is conducting 10 pro
jects that deal with exceptional children and university
volunteers.
By using exceptional children, Dodge said the foundation
can learn a lot because those children are taking advantage
of their potentials.
Some research also is being done with people who have
not achieved their potential, he said, but added that he
believes more can be learned from studying gifted people.
People who use their potential, he said, can be taught to
teach others.
Many of the children used in the foundation's research
are sent back to their schools to act as significant people
and role models for isolated children.
Quite often, he said, the child leader was able to help the
withdrawn child more than anyone else.
Dodge said he is excited by the foundation's research.
. "It is like being Lewis and Clark," he said. "Who knows
where one Will go," he added.

Guca: ASUN opposed
aliamniii center location
in the first of three ASUN summer
meetings, president Bud Cuca told 17
ASUN senators that he opposes a propos
ed $1 million hew Nebraska Alumni
center.
The center would be built directly north
of the Nebraska Union where a staff park
ing lot currently extats. The adjacent lot,
which is metered, would be changed into
staff parking to replace the lost space.
Although the senate could not pass
legislation for or against the proposed
center ecaUse it lacked a required two
thirds quorum of its 35 members, Cuca
said he believed that most of the senators
are against the center.
"My main concern is it's going to take
away from parking," Cuca said. He added
that he knew of no plans for more parking
space and said the people involved in park
ing planning will probably not make any
plans because they expect all UNL park
ing to be off campus within the next five
years.
Cuca said he did not know when plans
for the center began, and said the alumni
association did not contact him until after
school was out in May.
The association must make a planning
statement to the university by Aug. 15, ac
cording to Cuca. He added that the pro
posal will then need approval from the
Chancellor and the NU Board of Regents.
Publisher Milton Wick, of Phoenix,
Ariz., who donated $500,000 specifically to
help build the center, might reconsider
spending the money on the center if
students let him know they oppose it, ac
cording to ASUN Sen. John Parsons.
n " - ' '"
"I don't know if there's A real heed for
this," Sen. Jim Davidson said about the
center. He said if Students say "hey, we
hate your building," Wick might Seriously
reconsider specifying use of his donation.
Cuca also said that Selleck Residence
Hall members, who are across the street
from the proposed site may not want the
building, and also said there is the
possibility that it would take away
business from the Nebraska Union.
Cuca said plans for the center also might
include a statue of Wick which would be
placed in front of the building.
The senate also discussed the proposed
$6.4 million addition to UNL's Memorial
Stadium.
Regents to reconsider
Cuca said the regents plan to reconsider
their 5-3 decision in favor of the addition at
their June 23 meeting.
Sen. Renee Wessels said the board will
reconsider because "construction costs
have reportedly gone up half-a-million
dollars," and if the bonds for construction
are sold nationally, the interest rate may
rise.
If the board upholds its first decision, it
will appear before the executive board of
the Nebraska Legislature to seek bond
sale approval in July.
Wessels also said the regents may face
mother barrier in addition approval
because the board never received required
Central Planning Committee approval.
She said a bylaw of the University man
dates that ill campus building construc
tion must be approved by the committee.
