Page 18 Daily Nebraskan Thursday, March 14, 1935 1 y Wild erness trip Continued from Page 1 This year the trip begins May 12. Course materials include tents, com passes, fishing gear and tackle but no books. "Just living there just living back there in the bush is a big educational experience," Wiegers said. However, the students must do some research before they can go. They learn to recognize the decomposition of rock, mosses and ferns. And before each trip, the students plan their menus. On the trip, they learn how to cook and clean fish, if they don't already know, Wieg ers said. Wiegers recalled that "one fellow was really eager to fish." On the canoe trip, all he could talk about was the fishing. After miles of canoeing, the caxper set up his tent at the campground. After an hour or so, someone won dered where the "fisherman" was, and whether he was fishing. They found him later, sacked out in his tent. "Ke didn't have quite the energy he thought he had," Wiegers siid. Some cf Wiegers students think that he should still be allowed to teach the yearly camping course, and so does Wiegers. "I'd really like to," he said. "I wouldn't be doing this now if I didn't enjoy it." Weigsrs said the best part about Wilderness Experience is that campers get acquainted and learn how to work together. He hopes the course can continue. The course costs $275 plus the three credit tuition to UNL. For more infor mation, contact the College of Agricul ture or Howard Wiegers, 472-6821.

Den Aripoli told the committee that UNL currently employs 1,200 students In its own campus work-study procrant. Students who testified said work study dees more than provide much needed financial assistance. It gives them hands-on experience and is eco nomically the most feasible type of aid the state could offer, they said. Students who receive a substantial part of their aid through work-study don't have a large debt hanging over them after graduation. Those who rely primarily on loans are stalked by loan repayment schedules. Kelly Kuchta, a junior from Halting ton, said that is the best thing about work-study. Ke works 20 hours a week at UNL's Off.ce of Campus Kecreatlon, where work-study students comprise one-third of the staff. Heidi Burklund, a junior political science and economics raor, said work-study programs also benefit busi nesses. She worked fcr a state exten sion district office in Clay Center this summer under a work-study ap-ecnient. "They got cheap labor," Burklund said. "Otherwise, they wouldn't have hired anybody." Burklund profited as well. "My typing picked up about 100 per cent, I got to live at homs ivA 1 didn't have to get a loan until this semester," she said. UNL could garner more research funds if st udents participated In work study pL-r.s with teachers, said Andy Carothers, chairman of ASUN's Govern ment Liaison Committee. Carothers essisted pcliMcd science professor Keith Mueller in a depart mental study of public health policy. This semester the department offered a public health policy coursa b&sed on th:t resecrch. LB133, written by Deb Chapelle and the Nebraska State Student Associa tion, calls for a state fund that would pay 30 percent of the salaries paid stu dents in work-study employment. Stu dents could earn a maximum of $1,800 per year working for non-profit organi zations or for government agencies. The bill stipulates that students seek only career-oriented positions. Burklund, who works at a downtown piizeria, said that some students must get jobs to pay fcr their education, and that these Jobs should, if possible, be career-criented. "The work expereince you get tarn slinging pizza isn't really csxetr-orient-ed . . . at least not for me," she said. Sheila Sfratton, a scphomcre mejor ing in social work, pays her own educa tion bill. She works 25 to 30 hours a week at two jobs, one as a secretary for the dean cf the school cf social vork. She said she i3 on "every kind cf stu dent aid." "My education is my own respcr-si-bility," Straiten s-dd. "I'm proud to s:y I'm putting rr.ycclf through school." senators cie t? r tJh. bills By Enid GHfbnl State senators still trz united behind the concept cf property tix relief des pite lengthy debate in the chsmbsr that has bogged down a mjor property tax relief bill. Senators discussed IB38 Monday and Tuesday mcrrdgs, but aounred both dtys with out taking a vote on the measure. Introduced by Sen.

E-sh Kerrey said the lawmakers soon will have a clear signal cf property tax relief. "I don't think the concept is break ing down at all that we need to relieve property taxes," Kerrey said. In another tax-related matter, Ker rey said he would sign a bill passed : Shorts The UNL Chapter cf Sigma Alpha Iota Professional Musis Fraternity Women will present a recital tonight at 8 in Westbrook Pecital Hail The recital will include works by Handel, Menotti and Debussy and is free of charge.

LB163 calls for air conditioning, humidity control, dust control, floor covering and lighting. Wesley proposed the museum tour.
