Don't get sad - get angry!
This advice for unemployed women was
given by Barbara Kerr, UNL assistant
professor of educational psychology and
social foundations, during part of a
February "Chilly Climate" forum for
women Thursday.
"Women : After Graduate School,
What?" emphasized ways to look for jobs,
options in finding a job and ways to
cope with not having one. Four speakers
were featured in the program , which was
presented by the Women's Resource
Center.
Kerr said fears of not getting a job or
of rejection are intense, and often
individuals cannot present themselves in
the best light to their prospective
employers.
"I don't think Mahatma Gandhi ever
worried where his next check would come
from," Kerr said, referring to money
matters.
She explained that after college, some
things don't count in the job search.
mm U
Grades and test scores fall into this
category.
Skills and interests that match a job's
requirements do count, she said. A
specialty is helpful, so in being in the right
place at the right time. Often people move
to a city in which they want to work and
then wait for a job opportunity.
Last-chance methods include combining
personal skills with growing industries'
demands. Computers, daycares and
hospitals all are growing businesses, she
said, and women with skills in these areas
will find a job.
"You have much to contribute," Kerr
said, "and rather than' waiting to get a
paycheck for it, go out and do it!"
Dan Wheeler, a faculty career consultant
for the UNL Teaching and Learning
Center, expressed his views on the changing
job scene.
In the past, a career was viewed as a
ladder, Wheeler said, and people seemed to
be successful only if they climbed it.
Now a career is seen as a spiral that
requires a mixture ot learning and
development.
r
Wheeler said a job must provide
personal satisfaction, which allows
individual growth. Individual values also
must fit the job.
Career changes are natural , he said , and
the transition period provides time to get
things done. Gains, not losses, must be
focused on as a plan of action is developed.
Tlus p'an of action often may lead to
a decision to continue studies through
research. Jane Ollenburger, a post-doctoral
researcher for the Midwest Council for
Social Research on Aging, explained that
pre- and post -doctoral fellowships and
scholarships for research are an option to a
tradiitional job. These all provide funding
for research for a year or two.
Ollenburger said to look for jobs in
traditional ways, but also to look for
research grants. She said it is important to
talk to someone who previously has
received the research funding to find out
what the screening committee looks for.
Gamble and weigh the odds, she said, on
finding a job or a research opportunity.
It may take 20 to 30 hours to put together
a research proposal for a committee, but it

could result in a year of overseas study.
The gamble of finding that right job
may result in unemployment, as Cynthia
Didion, manager for the Planned
Parenthood-Lincoln Center clinic, said.
Didion was unemployed for six months
after receiving a master's degree in
psychology from UNL. She warned against
letting society's viws - "If you're not
employed, you're not a worthwhile
person" - take over.
"Don't say I'm not employed, I don't
count,' " Didion said, "but instead, take
care of yourself."
'Throughout the ordeal of job searching
and unemployment, support from friends
is essential, Ollenburger said. Support is
not only received, but also given to
someone else with the same needs.
Didion said to keep friends,
entertainment and exercise a part of life
to help offset any depression while job
hunting.
The ultimate goal of job hunters is to
have the conpanies they interview with
create jobs especially to fit their skills,
she said .
A regular customer leaves the Mar-Shel cafe after his daily lunch.
IT
No
By Dulcie Shoener
Traffic moves swiftly less than 10 feet
from the front door of the Mar-Shel
Cafe, 125 S. 27th St. Probably few of the:
people driving through the busy intersec
tion of 27th and 0 streets have ever
passed through that door into the
quiet, relaxed interior.
Relaxed, yes - but efficient. Owner
Lee Stokes arrives each weekday morn
ing at 4:30 a.m., along with Shelly Osta
gard, a former owner, who is the Shel
of Mar-Shel. Together they start the
coffee, get booths ready and start the
day's baking before the cafe opens at
5 a.m.
Only breakfast and lunch are served
at Mar-Shel. The cafe, which seats 50,
is open from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday
through Friday, and 6 a.m. to 1 1 a.m.
Saturdays.
The cafe uses about 150 pounds of
nrrir cesxr
potatoes each week, mostly in hash browns
and mashed potatoes. The fresh, tasty
homemade food is one reason customers
say they keep coming back.
"They've got good variety, and it
tastes homemade," said Teri Tenney,
230 S. 27th St. She and her husband,
Larry, said they eat lunch at Mar-Shel
every day.
"They've got good breakfasts, too,"
Tenney said. Since breakfast is served
all day, his lunch often consists of eggs,
ham and hash browns.
Breaktast prices range trom a 25-cent
doughnut to $2.95 for a breakfast steak.
A complete breakfast of ham, two eggs,
hash browns, Texas toast and coffee is
$2.70.
Stokes, who has owned the cafe for
three years, attributes his steady busi
ness to low prices and tresh ingredients
"We don't use anything instant," he
said.

The ASUN Senate unanimously approv
ed the Committee for Fees Allocation's
recommendation of $85.40 per student per
semester student fees for 1983-84.
John Leif, CFA chairman, said the stu
dent fee probably would be more than
$85.40 because Fund B -recipients (recrea
tion department, health center, Nebraska
Union and debt service) did not include
salary increases in their budgets.
ASUN Sen. Kay Hinn commended Leif
on the CFA performance this year, and
said it probably was the first time there
were no questions or discussion on the
CFA proposal.
Nette Nelson, Government Liaison
Committee chairman, submitted her
resignation to ASUN and ASUN appointed
Ruth Bohan of GLC to take over Nelson's
duties.
ASUN President Dan Wedekind said it
was necessary to appoint someone to the
GLC chair quickly, because the university
budget soon will come up in the state
Legislature.
ASUN rejected a proposal to rescind a
bill passed last week that allowed the UNL
Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign to place
a question about nuclear freeze on the
March 9 ASUN ballot.
ASUN Sen. Steve Grasz,who proposed
the motion, said the wording of the quest
ion approved last week was slanted. The
question is: "Should the U.S. and U.S.S.R.
pursue a complete halt to the nuclear arms
race, and decide when and how to achieve
a mutual and verifiable freeze on the
amounts of their strategic nuclear
arsenals?"
Grasz argued that the question was plac
ed on the ballot with the minimum amount
of votes needed, and that several senators
were not present at the meeting when vot
ing took place.
"It is putting the question to students as
if it were a statement of act," he said.
"There is a more fair way of putting it on
the ballot."
He said he would like to see the
question have three parts. The first would
state the freeze group's position; the
second, the Reagan administration's
position; and the third, an undecided
option. It also would state the current
positions of the United States and the
Soviet Union.
Jennifer Fager, Election Commission
chairperson, said ASUN could not change
the question, but could state only whether
the question could be placed on the ballot.
Fager said the student freeze group met
all deadlines and went through the proper
channels to have its question placed on the
ballot. If the question were changed, she
said, ASUN would have to pay the $300 to
have it placed on the ballot, because the
freeze group would be unwilling to pay.
Also, the new question would not meet the
Election Commission's Feb. 9 deadline, she
said.

The NU Board of Regents Saturday
will hear appeals about UNL Chancellor
Martin Massengale's decision to take
football tickets away from NU Medical
Center students. The regents will meet
at 8 a.m. at Regents Hall, 3835 Holdrege
St.
Four medical center students and four
physicians will speak in favor of football
tickets for medical students, said Verlin
Janzen, president of the medical center's -student
senate.
The first priority for football tickets
should be UNL faculty and staff, and all ,
medical center students agree with this,
Janzen said.
"But we are convinced that the medical
center tickets will not go to UNL student,
staff and faculty," he said.
Medical center students are university
students who have traditionally received
tickets, he said.
Football tickets are important to the
medical center campus. UNL football
Cento sty dents to
ticket decision
is the only activity that makes students
feel they are part of the university, Janzen
said.
"We see ourselves as being singled out
as the only student group having our
tickets taken away," he said.
The medical center appeal will be
heard during the business affairs subcom
mittee meeting. The appeal needs to be
moved to the formal meeting for action
to be taken by the board.
In other action Saturday, the board will
vote on proposed partial retirement revi
sions for NU faculty. The proposal would
enhance the current retirement income to
faculty with partial retirement status.
Regents will vote on a proposal to
increase 1983-84 room and board rates
in UNL residence halls $35, from $1 825
to $1,860.
The board also will approve UNL
faculty summer research fellowships,
which are decided on a competitive basis.
