page 48 daily nebraskan Wednesday, august 22, 1979 fi freshm By Frank Hassler . Typically, the first Daily Nebraskan of every school year contains at least one article ripping the new UNL students-the freshmen. ,, , This Is hot the article. Sure, the freshmen stumble around without the slightest Idea of where they're going. So do most people the first time theyYre in a strange place. UNL certainly qualifies as a strange place. The freshmen are made fun of because they are new, but some of the most bizarre characters are those who have been around the longest. The teachers. This article, then is not to rip the fresh men, but to warn them. For all the differ ences in college life, you will find one similarity: A lot of teachers personalities obscure the subject matter they're sup posedly teaching. Here are some types of teachers to look out for. These categories are not strict. One teacher may be part of several different types. THE ENTERTAINER. This fellow feels it is his duty to keep the whole class in f Jr TOATE A.0TS AT UTIOOU) 1370-O FLAYCU1 STUDIO THEATRE V LUANN HAMPTON LAVERTY OBERLANDER By Preston Jones Oct 4 through 9,1979 HOTHOUSE by Macsn Terry Nov. 29,30 and Dec 1 -through 4, 1979 To Be Announced Feb 14 through 19. 1S80 PHEDRE by Jean Racine April 10 through 15. 1830 (OPTION 2: 4 plays Hawaii onlv RtudantiSanian &3 Ull Othara $121 Dae 7,8,13,14.15,20 Saason Tickats On Sal Through Spt30 OPTION 1:8 plays Howall and Studio Students $18 AHOthtrs 824 HOWELL THEATRE) 1 THE GOOD WOMAN OF SETZUAN by Btrtolt Bracht Oct 19,20 & 23 through 27, 1979 Slnate Arfmbsion StudantsSaniors $3 All Othars 84 Thaatra Tkkat Offiea locatad 104 Tampla Bktg 12 ft R Lincoln Talaphona 472-2073 aftar 1 pm CURTAINTIME 8:00 PM A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Dickans adaptad by R.Dala Wilson 21 at 8PM Dae 9.18.22 at 2PM MAN AND SUPERMAN Gaorga Barnard Shaw Fab 29, March 1 ft 4-8. 1980 THE BOYFRIEND Book, lyrics, music by Sandy Wilson April 18.19 and 22 through 26 stitches. After five minutes of him you'll feel like putting him in stitcncs oi und ent kind. You'll know him right away. If he comes in and says, "You'll never guess what I saw on the way to work, you have an entertainer. You'll probably learn everything there is to know about his foot fetish, his dune buggy,, his Hawaiian flower necklace collection, etc., and be treated to a slide show of last summer's trip to the, tundra. Then you'll have to look at your schedule to see what class you're taking (or dropping). THE EXPERT. This guy, through years of hard postgraduate labor, now knows all there is to know. Or so he thinks. His purpose is not to make sure everyone knows his subject, but to make sure every one knows he's smart. His lectures show his expertise. He can make Beginning Anthro sound like Boolean Algebra. This self-appointed walking encyclo pedia reveals his true colors when a student disagrees with him. You may not leam much about the class, but you sure do about the teacher. What a bargain for $24.50 a credit! . Somewhat related to the "career school boy," is the "New Breed'1 type of teacher. He is sometimes identifiable by his ward robe. If you have an American History class and the guy comes dressed as George Washington's white horse, for example, he is New Breed. Typical New Breed comments: Break up into small groups ftry this by yourself sometime) and "No class for six weeks, and no assignments, either. Go out and see the world." At the other end of the degree of diffi culty scale is the "Grizzled Veteran." HE IS OLD AND grouchy. His first line is usually, "I'm 167 years old, and I'm not happy to be teaching a bunch of college freshmen." Followed by, "This class isn't going to be easy. You're all Fs until you prove to me that you're something else." If you're smart, you'll prove that you're one of his ex -students. "The "Grizzled Veteran hates every - His eyes bug out, his teeth grit, his fists body, but at least he treats everyone the . ' . .

These words should be grounds for a section change. Hopefully, you won't have a class taught by the Career Schoolboy. THE SCHOOLBOY, unlike the others, can be spotted by appearance. (All the better for a quick getaway.) He usually has same. Not so, lor the favorite Player. He does as the name implies. He selects a few students, (those who are experienced enough to spot him) and takes them under his wing. The rest of the class is history.no matter what the subject is. THE FAVORITE PLAYER should be shunned by all those students who want an education in something besides fanny-kissing. The legendary bad teacher is the b d d araimm.dK hypno?. W l b, ,W. Jo td. Mm too, if " " u u even thoueh he mav not be visually impair ed (Don't they look professorial?) He wears a sweatshirt, khakis, sandals, and looks like he doesn't get much sun. His lecture is filled with comments like, "Gee, it sure is strange being on this side of the room," and "I can't find my attend ance roster." He also says "into" a lot, such cls, really into Bohemian whips." Tm you find yourself marrying a considerate, . a a .a good-iooKing ncn memoer oi tne opposite sex. This is because you are asleep and dreaming. Stay awake long enough to find the door and use ft. Of course, though, there are some good teachers here. If you're lucky enough to find one, keep your mouth shut. A lot of good teachers get fired if too many people find out about them. : "ST Tha Cars ThaCarsCandy-O Robert PalmerSacrats 6ft tJ&lB UssIS Ppicss in Tritiums Joni MitchellMingus All 7.98 albums ONLY $4.79 r All $8.90 albums ONLY $5.39 All the Time I TDK SA-C90 Cassettes 3.39 each $33.00 a case Maxell UDXL I and II 90 min.
