Festival . . .
Continued from page 8
Names of the specific celebrations differ with each area
they are in. .
'It depends where you are from," said Werner Leinfell
ner, another co-organizer from the philosophy
department. We hope that this celebration will become an
annual tradition in Lincoln and that it will create another
characteristic name for the ancient party.
Smaller version
Although this is the first time a true European style
"Karneval" is being attempted, it is not the first time the
Leinfellners have been to a winter festival in Lincoln.
Three years ago they took part in a smaller version of to
night's ball at the Gaslight Lounge with some friends. It
was that party that prompted the creation of tonight's
ball.
"The idea was that Lincoln has no festivities of this
kind," Leinfellner said. "We know how to do that."
Which means that if things go tonight as they would in
Europe the partying will continue far into the morning.
Because the festival is in America, certain things will be
different. Normally at a "Fasching" ball celebration in
Europe mixed drnks wouldn't be common; tonight's ball
will have an open bar which will offer them. In Europe a
costume would be mandatory, tonight if someone appears
without a costume or mask they will be forced to don a
mustache before entering. -
Admission is free, and the event is open to the public.

Credit transfer is found easy
By Lori Merryman
UNL transfer students from Nebraska's six state
community technical colleges and the four-year state
colleges find few difficultires in transferring credits.
This lack of complications is partly due to close
relations between UNL Admissions and the colleges, said
Don Payne, assistant director of admissions in under
graduate advising.
Payne updates yearly the "UNL Transfer Handbook"
which provides basic information for students who wish
to transfer to UNL. The handbook, designed in about
1972, is revised yearly because "things change so
quickly "Payne said.
All credits are transferable, Payne said, but it is up to
the individual colleges to decide how the credits apply to
their degree programs.
Another transfer from Platte College, Barb Blaser.said
her only problem, wsa transferring three credit hours for
an v economics class. Both students are juniors in the
College of Business Administration.
The handbook also lists the numbers of credits allowed
for transfer from a community college.
The handbook reports that a maximum of 66 hours
will be accepted by UNL from a two-year institution. The
number of credits which will transfer from a four-year
institution are limited. At least 30 of the final 36 credit
hours needed for a degree must be earned in on-ccampus
residence study in the college which is to recommend the
granting of the degree.
A committee of undergraduate assistant deans also
meets twice a month and visits the community technical
colleges, Payne said.
Payne said he is concerned with improving the transfer
process.
Several community college transfer students were inter
viewed to find out how easy their transitions were.
Connie Bern t, a transfer student last semester from
Platte College in Columbus, said she transferred with no
problems. She did not lose any credits in the process.
UNL provides student tutor program
Students needing help in almost any subject can be
tutored by other students through the Dept. of Multi
Cultural Affairs, according to secretary Peggy Roper.
The tutoring program is a special service project fund
ed by the Federal Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare.
Students who want to serve as tutors through this
program must apply at the Educational Learning Center,
1209 Seaton Hall.
"The student must bring with him a letter of
recommendation from a professor in the area he wants to
tutor," Roper said. "After that, we interview him to find
out how much experience he has had, how well he
communicates his knowledge to other people and other
basic skills." - Uv ,
Students must have at least a 3.6 grade average to be
accepted as tutors. Experience in tutoring is preferred but
not required, ,
Prefer upperclassmen
'We prefer students who are juniors, seniors or
graduates, because they have fulfilled most of their
requirements and have more spare time," Roper said.
Since the program is federally funded, students who
are on any type of financial aid must obtain a Student
Work Permit. . v
'There are "two types of tutors, those who work 15 or
more hours a week both during assigned hours at the
Educational Learning Center and with individual students,

and 10-hours a week tutors who work only with a few
individual students," Roper said.
Tutors meet with their students two or three times a
week and attend a weekly seminar at the Educational
Learning Center.
Four hours of "crisis tutoring'' in the evenings at the
Educational Learning Center and at the Union from 6-9
p jn. also are provided. V
Tom McFadden, a senior who tutors geology, biology
and anthropology, said he enjoys tutoring both for the
money and the experience.
Mostly tutor freshmen
"Most of the tutoring I do is for introductory courses
for freshmen," McFadden said. "Many freshmen have a
hard time getting adjusted to college and need help to get
over the shaky start." -
Demand for tutors is low at the beginning of the
semester, but more students ask for help as finals week
approaches,- McFadden said. McFadden works at the
Educational Learning Center and also tutors individual
students..
"Many students are not aware that the tutoring service
is there to help them," McFadden said. "Also, it is free.
Tax money is funding the program and not student fees.""
Students who need tutoring can contact the Education
al Learning Center at 472-1481 or the Dept. of Multi-
- Cultural Affairs at 472-2028. -' "v " r '
