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.

Phillips' musical interests
take him to bars, stairwells
Paul Phillips likes to
,play music. 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.

Paul Phillips performs in the Nebraska Union Crib.
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.
