New agricultural association chapter
opens educational doors for students
By Handy Christy .
Agricultural students can karri more about pro
duction agriculture through the newly formed chap
ter of the Nebraska Young Farmers and Ranchers
Educational Association.
The NYFREA is a statewide non-profit, non
political organization established for educational
purposes with particular emphasis on agricultural
education, said the NYFREA state secretary.
Dan Stehlik said the club lets members expand
their agricultural education through tours of agri
cultural production and related agri-business oper
ations, legislative hearing visitations, various speak
ers and other activities.
Stehlik, a UNL junior in general agriculture and
agriculture education, is one of several students
instrumental in beginning the UNL chapter.
"We do not want to compete with other East
Campus clubs," Stehlik said. "We want to cooperate
with them on mutual areas of interest"
Rick Foster, associate professor of agriculture
education, one of the club three advisers, said the
organization will keep members aware of new tech
nologies in agriculture which they can apply upon
graduation. ,
' The club's advisers come from different depart
ments, with new advisors selected each year. . . '
The club is making a concentrated effort to
attract international students, Foster said. This will
give them an idea of production techniques in
Nebraska which they can take back to their home
countries. .'-.'
Stehlik said about GO students were at the organi
zational meeting representing seven departments. .
The next club meeting will be April 1 0 at 7 p.m. in the
East Union.
"An advantage to our organization as compared
to other campus clubs is that the opportunity for
continued involvement exists after graduation in
other chapters," Stehlik said.
Campus sessions to stress religion
By Saliie Jo Simmons
"Getting back to the basics is a real need for this
country, to make things more simple and easier to
understand," said Guy Berndt of the Morningstar
Church of Christ
As part of a city-wide spiritual enrichment week,
the Morningstar Church of Christ will sponsor two
sessions at the Nebraska Union Thursday from 7
p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:15
p.m., Berndt said.

"Building a Great Church" is the central theme for
the week, he said. Berndt said the two campus ses
sions should encourage college students to take an
interest in religion and find direction in their lives.
Berndt said the Morningstar Church of Christ is a
non-denominational church that focuses on ques
tions about religion with answers straight from the
Bible. His church often deals with questions such as
how people should pray or how to live, he said.
This church is not to be confused with the Church
of Christ that students may have heard about on
campus, he said. The Morningstar Church of Christ
simply wants to help people understand religion
better in a practical manner, Berndt said.
Berndt said they have bible studies on campus
and the number of college students is increasing.
Though they are trying to increase their congrega
tion, Berndt said, they do not aim for a specific
number of people. People are not statistics, he said,
. and the church is more people-oriented when build
ing its membership.
Spiritual enrichment week is a service to the
-community, he said.

BUENOS AIRES An international rescue
package to help Argentina pay 1033 interest
arrears on its foreign debt totals $810 million,
not $500 million as announced officially, bank
ing sources said Tuesday. The United States,
Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia agreed
on Friday to the package to prevent Argentina
defaultin on interest payments by failing to
meet a Saturday deadline.
The sources said Tuesday that Argentina's

Mexico and Venezuela, with $100 million of
short-term credit each, and Brazil and Col
ombia with $50 million each.
This enabled Argentina to pay $010 million
of interest arrears and clear payments up to
January 8, the sources said. Argentina has
-.foreign debts of $43.6 billion. '. .
