Enrollment increases
in teacher programs
is first in decade
By Mark Davia ;
For the first time in more than a decade, en
rollment in teacher-education programs is increas
ing. But James OUanlon, dean of UNL's Teachers
College attributes the nationwide growth as a simple
issue of supply and demand.
In an informal poll of officials from 45 member
institutions of the American Association of State
Colleges and Universities, enrollment was reported
to be on the upswing. OUanlon said UNL enrollment
was leveling off after a drop from the peak of 4,200
students in the 1960s to about 2,300 students last
fall.
"It's a simple issue of supply and demand," OUan
lon said. "For example, there was a tremendous '
decline in math teachers until students became
aware of the job possibilities Another example he
sited was an increase in foreign language classes
creating a need for more teachers in that area.
In a study conducted by the University of Illinois,
UNL teacher-education programs were rated as
number one in the nation, OUanlon said he could
not predict how this would effect UNL's future
enrollment.
"Potential students have listed it as a reason for
coming here," O'Hanlon said. "But there will be no
way of finding out the ratings effects until a study is
conducted.
Legislation increasing teacher salaries has been
passed in a few states. This was listed as one reason
for teacher-education enrollment increases in the
AASCU poll. Similar local legislation did not pass
last year but O'Hanlon said he still had hope for its
passage.
Nebraska's teachers salaries are in the nation's
bottom 10 percent, OUanlon said. Compared with
Nebraska's top 10 rating in standardized testing,
graduation percentages and literacy, which is
ironical, OUanlon said.
The value system of Nebraska is education orient
ed," OUanlon said.
Residence halls . . .
CaEtiaissd Cross F&2 1
Television viewers in the residence halls will soon
have access to another channel KBGT (Channel
8), also called "Big 8 TV." The independent commer
cial station, which originates from Albion, carries
old movies and sports. Schumann said a special
antenna will be used to bring the channel into the
residence hail rooms. Neihardt Residence Center
will get new, durable windows "that should last 30 to '
40 years" when installed, Schumann said. Besides
replacing windows which are more than 50 years
old and in poor shape, the new windows offer easy
maintenance and energy efficiency, he said.
In Love Memorial Cooperative for Women on East
Campus, four new bathroom facilities are being
installed. Two will be completed by this fall, Schu
mann said.
Norma Weigert, coordinator of accounting and
payroll for university housing, said funding for any -major
renovations comes from bend fund monies
created for improvements in housing and other
"auxiliary enterprises" such as the University Health
Center.
According to Zatechka, housing has budgeted
about $300,000 per year in the last two years for
major renovations, with fire safety additions consti
tuting an additional $250,000 per year.
Summer is the best time for major renovations
because the residence halls are largely unoccupied
during the summer, Zatechka said.
Schumann said summer wear and tear on the
halls, despite popular belief, is probably less than
what occurs during the regular school year. He said
the many youth groups who use the residence halls
In the summer are usually carefully chaperoned and
"just arent hers long enough" to create much of a
problem.
A figure of 10,000 people "would be conservative"
for estimating summer occupants, Schumann said.
About 120 groups, with member numbers ranging
from less than a dozen to more than 1 ,000, are using
the halls thb summer, Zatechka eeid. This b "far,
more residents than last yssr, ho s aid.
Veljsjt estimated that 50 students have occu
pied Sehrnrin and 43 female students haw occu
pied Lovs lleinorial Cooperative this summer. '

tors had been arrested in the nearby township
of Tumahole on such charges as public vio
lence, theft, looting, arson and burglary. He

Ortega heads tlw ballot
MANAGUA Daniel Ortega, leader of Nica
ragua's leftist Sandinist government, has been
chosen as the government's presidential can
didate in elections set for November 4, sources
said Monday. Ortega, the 39-year-cld coordi
nator of the three-man ruling Junta, was
selected by the Sandinist assembly and his
candidacy will be announced officially Tues
day, the sources added. They said candidates
for the 90-member Constituent Assembly to be
elected November 4 also had been chosen and
would be presented to the council organizing
the elections later this week.
The elections are the first to be held in Nica
ragua since the Sandinist revolution swept to
power in 1 870, ousting the right-wing dictator
ship of Anastasio Somoza, Opposition parties
have charged that the Sandinists hold an
unfair advantage in the poll because of emer
gency measures in force which impose restric
tions on the opposition's activities and estab
lish press censorship. The government has said
such measures are necessary while Nicaragua
is under attack from rightist rebels in neigh
boring Honduras and Costa Rica. The restric
tions are being lifted during campaigning for
the elections.
Greeks battle pollution
ATHENS A poisonous cloud of industrial
waste hanging over Athens has reached the
danger point and industrial production and
car traffic in the capital will be cut to combat
the pollution, the Greek government said Mon
day. Press reports said several hundred peo
ple, mostly aged, had been made iU by the cloud
and many had been hospitalized.
The Planning and Environment Ministry
ordered 73 factories in the Athens area to cut
production by 30 percent for two days. Half of
Athens' cars will be banned from the city and
its environs Tuesday and Wednesday, it said.
The cloud of industrial waste hanging over
Athens, Piraeus and their suburbs has become
a regular feature of the capital, causing serious
damage to ancient monuments. About orte
third of Greece's nine million people live in
Athens and its suburbs, and about half the
country's industry is situated here.
China 's army opens ears
PEKING China's army newspaper started
a letters-to-the-editor column Monday asking
for suggestions on army reform, the New China
News Agency said. The Liberation Army Daily
launched the column with six readers' letters,
some of which suggested changes in promo
tion and a discussion on whether military
organiiaitons should engage in civilian busi
ness, the agency reported. The paper wel
comed comments on anything from political
and military work to national defense research,
although published letters would not neces
sarily represent the views of the editors, the
agency said.
China's present leadership is redirecting the
emphasis of th 3.2 millon-strong People's Lib
eration Army. Under Mao Tsetun: the army
was a guardian of leftist ideology, five current
philosophy is to build a modern military force
based on discipline and skill The ccvcrnnreiit
recently passed a new military service law
