child raising roles
By tfada Howard
Parents who want to learn how they can teach
their children in the areas of lane, intellect,
sociability and sensory motor development can
learn ffom a six-week course on child raising.
The course for parents of children ranging ;
in age from ! to 6, begins Saturday from 1 pja. i
to 4 p,m. at the Lancaster County Chapter of the
American Red Cross, 1 701 E St.
"Most parents have a strong sense of the nur
turing role they play, such as providing food and
shelter. But few parents see what an important
teaching role they can also have said Sara Mar
quardt, director of nursing and health services
for the chapter,
During the course volunteers will instruct
parents on health, safety and nutrition needs for
children. Contemporary problems such as student
or working parents and sex on television also will
be confronted, Marqusrdt said.
Student parents may encounter added stress
because of financial strain and the limited tftue
they have to spend with their child, she said.
Some people who have taken tho ccrss in the
past were referred to the Red Crcrs by Child Pro
tective Sendees because they may have hsd a Ms
tory of abuse or may havs been suspected of
abusing their chad. Sometimes parents are required
by the courts to taJce the course b order to keep
or regain custody of their child, sdd Vicki !is,
Marquardfs secretary,
We can't guarantee that the ckss wl prevent
people from abiish their children, but we're trying
to instruct and help parents, Sometimes they are
trying to discipline their chili end they go over
board. We want them to learn how to control
their sn$5r Leia said.
There is a $6 fee for the course that can be
waived for parents who cza't aiTcrd it. Ths frc
covers the cost of a workbook of projects for
pirents to do with their children at fcr.isa Ths
results of each project i dixwsed in th? weekly
In one workbook exercise, parents are instructed
, ;to watch television with their chfldrea and to care
My select shows that will reflect values they want
their children to learn Leis said. Patents are
instructed to turn off shows they think are inap
propriate and talk with their child about why
they selected the programs they d!i
Parents should be sure .their . children v dont
s , watch too much television, because excessive TV
watching tend to mean less communication bet
ween family members, teis said.

Too many short-range solutions are being discussed
for the current agricultural problems, a UNL agricultural
economist said Thursday.
Roy Frederick, professor of agricultural economics and
a public policy specialist at UNL, spoke to a group of
about 35 people in the East Union. Frederick's talk was
part of the Agricultural Leadership Conference sponsored
by the Agriculture Advisory Board.
Frederick said unemployment and high interest rates
hurt farmers as well as businesses within the agricultural
segment of the economy.
"International Harvester has been hurt because farmers
have been hurt," Frederick said. "When that happens,
I don't know that they'll be around much longer."
Frederick pointed out that the economy's present
condition is something that began in the late 1960s.
"It has taken us 15 years to get into our present
financial problems," he said. "It is going to take us a
while to get out of this."
Although economists and advisers have been coming
up with solutions to the present financial difficulties in
agriculture, the solutions haven't always been the right
ones, he said.
"We have an awful lot of people proposing short
range answers to long-range problems."
Frederick said one result of the agricultural prosperity
will be a decrease in land values.
Public invited to explore observatory
The UNL department of physics and astronomy will
host a Public Night tonight from 8 to 11 at Behlen
Observatory, located at the UNL Field Laboratory at
Mead.
Ed Schmidt, associate professor in the physics and
astronomy department, said the event was an attempt to
acquaint the public with the observatory.
"It allows the public to come in and see the
observatory, look at the equipment and see through the
telescope," Schmidt said. "We usually put these on a
couple of times a year."
Schmidt said the main function of the observatory is to
conduct research.
"We do research there all the time," Schmidt said.
"Right now, we're doing most of our research on star
clusters, trying to determine their age and other infor
mation." Schmidt said the observatory also helps graduate stu
dents in their research work.
He said the department receives most of its funds for
research from the National Science Foundation.
"We also receive some funding from the National
Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA)," he said.
Schmidt said Public Night usually draws a crowd of
150 to 200 people, depending on weather conditions.
