Page 14 Thursday, December 2, 1982 Daily Nebraskan List of closed classes to aid in early registration process To aid students with the dropadd process, the Office of Registration and Records has provided a listing of closed classes, which was sent out with 1982 83 spring semester registrations. Ted Pfeifer, director of the Office of Registration and Records, said that with the short time students have to fill out and return spring schedules, the closed-class list is provided to help the students who don't get all of their classes make other choices when dropping and adding classes. This list should help to speed up the pro cess, he said. "The closings have been comparable to years past," he said. Departments suffering from excessive closings include computer science, engin eering and English. Most of the closed classes are freshman and sophomore level courses. "Our enrollment is increasing by one fourth every semester," said Roy Keller, chairman of the computer science depart ment. The number of students has reached the size limit that his faculty can teach. "We are not able to hire the faculty," Keller said. Stanley Liberty, dean of the College of Engineering and Technology, said his de partment has grown in number, and it hasn't had the faculty growth to meet students' needs. "There is a tremendous demand for the freshman and sophomore engineering courses," Liberty said. Liberty said that in his department, only one out of four students receive a degree. UNL's engineering department has grown 90 percent since 1974. In that time, the faculty has not grown, Liberty said. He speculated that 1,400 to 1,700 students get denied classes every semester. In the English department, the list of closed classes is a long one. "Most of the courses are freshman English courses and 200 level creative writing courses," said Frederick Link, chairman of the department. Link said many other departments require freshman composition, and that hurts other people wishing to take the courses. . "It's obviously much easier to teach a large lecture course than a lot of small discussion classes," he said. "You simply can't teach 100 students to write with overheads and computer printouts at a rate of one a week." The budget cuts and small number of students the relatively allowed in the classrooms also has an effect on course closings, he said. With all of the course closings on the freshman level, upperclassmen do not belong in 'these courses, Link said. "If I had my way, no seniors would be allowed in freshman level English courses," he said. "A senior has no business in Composition 150." The only upperclass students that should be taking freshman level courses are those who change their majors late in their studies, Link said. Student Union. Continued from Page 1 "We may levy a bond on ourselves to enclose the mall area outside the student union," Colowick siad. "It would have solar collector panels to heat the building in addition to providing sitting space." Ling said he is pleased with the support the Student Union gets from CU students. "We had a 25 percent voter turnout in the fall election," he said. "That's pretty good for a college cam pus." Dan Wedekind, ASUN president, said UNL had a 10 percent voter turnout. "Generally the turnout is more than that," Wedekind said. "It's usually around 15 percent." "I wouldn't count a university election successful until voter turnout was 50 percent," he said. Wedekind said Colorado's Student Union has more people in its organization. They have a different type of population at Boulder, he said. There are more non-residential students. Wedekind said some student unions act as an umbrella over various organizations, combining functions such as the UPC and the Union Board. ASUN doesn't have a surplus of funds, according to Wedekind. The fund fees come in all at one time, he said. As the semester progresses the money is used according to the allocations for the different programs. Each program turns in a requested budget to ASUN before the semester begins, Wedekind said. ASUN reviews and determines the student fees. Shorts A free seminar for in terested investors titled "How to Shop For High Yields as Interest Rates Decline," sponsored by Mer rill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., will be Thursday at 7 p.m. at the UNL Center for Con tinuing Education, 33rd and Holdrege streets.

In fact, if you can't find him play ing in a local bar, you'd find him in the resi dence hall stairwells. "I like to play most all the time," he said. "If I'm not booked in a bar, 1 go sit and play in the dorms." Phillips sang yester day in the Nebraska Union Crib. He started playing about 10 years ago but took singing and play ing the guitar seriously only after he came to UNL as a freshman. He isn't in school this sem ester, but will be a senior next semester, ma joring in math and se condary education. Taking second place in the 1981 and 1982 UNL Homecoming Ta lent shows pleased Phil lips. In 1981, he said, he sang a solo. He added a bass player and drummer for the 1982 show. "It was a lot of fun," he said. Phillips said that Kenny Loggins and Dan Fogelberg influence his music the most. "I like the way Kenny Loggins jams with his voice," he said. "People think I do Fogelberg great and people think I do Bob Seger great.

My voice seems to flu ctuate." Opening for concerts gives Phillips his biggest joy. He has worked with such groups as Montana, Footloose and the Star City Players. "I do all my own bookings so I get a feel for the places and bands," he said. Although he covers many artists' songs. Phillips also writes some of his own works. He is hoping to cut a re cord soon with many of his own songs. "That's what writing is all about," he said. The next stop for Phillips will be the Brass Rail bar on Dec. 11. He also hopes to per form more in the Ne braska Union in the coming months. a assified CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING CALL 472-1761 flsn safe 1970, Mobile Home 54 x 12 Good condition, furnished, 2 bedrooms, $5000, 1030 N. 48th St. No. 40, 466-6564 for Andres.
