She's probntjyths hVhcnt paid te&ehcr

Carolyn Bantsrn crib heirtlf a "free-lsncetcacher"ora"teacher-Et-l2rg?ciiicc
she left the classroom this ycrr.
Bantam said she thinks the teaching
profession b looked dovn on because it
serves children. But she says she wants to
prove that teaching $MI-3 axe important
end nisrketaMe. She now vorks ls a writ
ing consultant fjr several Lincoln busi
nesses, including the Lir.ccln Cter.

writing.
id news stories need to be human-
bed, she said, to lure readers. To make
foreign affairs and economies stories more
important to readers, writers should beji
by telling their readers how the news
afreets one of their neighbors. This tech
nique draws readers into the story, she
said.
Bantam conducted a workshop Friday
for 19 elementary and secondary teachers
about using newspapers as teaching tools
in the classroom.
She said newspapers can inform stu
dents about their neighbors in their
country and throughout the world.
Textbooks are out of date when they
reach the classroom, she said "News
papers are current."
By learning about ether areas cf the
country and the world, Bantam said, stu
dents become citizens cf the world end
their communities.
As a Full.ri!.t exchange teacher in
England during the 1C33-84 school year,
Bantam used the linccln Cter and Jour
nal newspapers In her classes. She said
the hardest thing for British students to
understand was the distance between
Nebraska towns.
In England, villages lie about 1V4 miles
from each other. Her students were
amazed to learn that Cherry county has
only eight towns. An area of similar sire in
England would have about 1,500 com
munities, she said.
As an extra assignment, along with
reading the Lincoln newspapers, Bantam
told her students to either write to stu
dents in Rushville or to the Journal-Star
editors. When pictures of students in
football uniforms, western outfits and
cheerlcading uniforms were sent to the
Eng!ish students in return, Bantam sail,
English stereotypes about Americans
were "shattered."
"1
t was lowly" she said.
During the workshop participating
teachers were asked to look at briiish
newspapers to get acquainted with the
British people and their lifestyles. I'cfere
reading the papers, the teachers wrote
down some typical stereotypes they had
about the British. Bantam said the
teachers' ideas about British people
changed "just by one look at a news
paper." The stereotypes were broken.
Bantam said only positive results can
come from helpbg children become pert
of their communities and citizens of the
world. Newspapers are an important tool
In helping to achieve thl she said.

UNL's tuition burden for edu
cational costs is. average compared
to similar universities, Men said.
A 1C32-C3 study showed UNL
tied for fLth-of 11 AAU-Land
Grant universities in the percen
tage of education costs the stu
dents paid. The UNL tuition
burden that year was 34.2 per
cent. University of Minnesota
students paid 24.2 percent
The regents set tuition rates
and ok the Legislature for money
before the annual budget is made,
Sloan said. That way, budget cl
cial3 know how much money they
have to work with, he said.
But the regents do consider
what's likely to be on the budget
before they make their requests,
Allan said.
Sloan said the biggest new bud
get itemfor the 1935-8S is $740,000
for academic computing. The
money will be used to install new
equipment and improve old com
puters, he said.
"Ve are just fantastically behind
in this whole game of computing"
for instruction and research, he
said.
About $200,000 is budgeted to
replace and repair old equipment
in UNL classrooms and laborato
ries, Sloan said. Another $200,000
will be spent on new library mat
erials, he said.
The university also will provide
a 10.7 percent increase in money
available for faculty salaries and
1 1.5 percent more for staff salar
ies, Sloan said.
For several years, UNL salaries
have been "significantly behind"
the pay at similar universities,
Sloan said. The 1935-83 raise will
be the second in a three-year
catch-up plan, he said.
But the 10.7 percent increase
in faculty salary funding decsnt
guarantee a 10.7 percent raise
for all professors, Sloan said.
"Across-the-board increases pro
mote mediocrity," he said.
The 1085-ES budget allowan
ces are subject to change, depend
ing on the final state appropria
tion, Sloan said.

, Dvee Buss, director of advising
at the College of Business Admin
istration, and Kopera said plan
ning should begin when the stu
dent is a freshman or sophomore.
The student should start asses
sing what he or she wants to do
or what his particular interests
and skills are, Kopera said.-
Minimal career planning can
begin when the student starts his
college career, Buss said. Students
can start to read and become
aware of the different types of
fields, she said. The student can
join student organisations' and
get involved with activities that
might encourage their interests,
she said. When it comes time to
interview with a prospective em
ployer, the student will have mere
to sell, she said.
IdealistieaUy, the process should
begin when the individual b still
in elementary school, Cardinal
said. The person can start to
informally decide what his inter
ests are and pursue his interest,
he said.".-.., ., . . .'.
There Is nothing wrong with
starting late, but thet job seeker
should recognise the consequen
ces, he s aid. If the job seeker does
not get the career he wants right
away, he can make short-term
decisions. The job seeker may
come up with ether ideas or get a
job that can interest him tem
porarily, he said.
