t Tuesday, August 13, 1985 Page 3 The Nebraskan Classes offered By Kip Fry Staff Reporter Dr. Sidney Hahn has taught courses over the telephone for several years. She usually has 20 to 25 students-who listen to her on the other end of the line. She doesn't actually talk into a phone, but rather over the lines via the University of Nebraska Continuing Educa tion Audio Network (UNCEAN). This system, which is run through the UNL Department of Academic Telecommun ications, uses telephone lines to trans mit voices to eight different cities across the state. The various class rooms are equipped with microphones and amplification devices called con venors. Courses can be taken from any one of the following Nebraska cities: Alliance; Columbus; Grand Island; Lincoln; North Platte; Omaha; Scottsbluff and Sidney. With enough interest, other locations could be added to the UNCEAN system. "It is really a state-wide party line," said Linda Degrand, director of Aca demic Telecommunications. Sites are chosen for the program if they have reasonable size and central location in the state, availablility of central access sites, such as schools and libraries, and the economics of the phone connection, according to De grand. "We provide a service to teachers in the western part of the state," Hahn Jobs... Continued from Page 1 "Liberal arts graduates are a real bargain," Kayser said. "There seems to be a re-evaluation of the liberal arts. These students have analytical and communications skills, and are able to see the big picture relate one deci sion to another. Employers are recog nizing this." , "The most critical mistake is not giving enough time to look for a good career position," Phaneuf said. Most of the time it takes months, and even up to a year, to find the right career posi tion, he said. "You need to step back and have a plan before job hunting," Phaneuf said. Suicides... Continued from Page 1 Psychologists have also studied sui cide by analyzing those who have done it. Demographic studies have indicated that three times more men than women kill themselves, though women make more attempts. Whites commit suicide more than non-whites do. Other factors include alcoholism, homosexuality and divorce. Kelly suggested that the increase in suicides over the last 20 years may be linked to man's shift from humanistic values to more materialistic values. "There is pressure now for achieve ment and it is more money-oriented," Kelly said. "People need to help others feel that they do belong and need to develop more supportive communica tion, she said. "Most students who come in (to the clinic) feel very alienated."

Hahn, associate professor of curricu lum and instruction, teaches the "Semi nar in Individualized Instruction for Gifted, Talented and Creative Stu dents," a graduate level course in that department. There are two purposes behind the program according to Degrand: sharing the university's resources and making these courses available. It also pre vents the instructor from having to drive a long distance to get to the class sites, Degrand said. Although there may be miles between teachers and students, there is still opportunity for interaction. "You have to work quite hard for active involvement of the student, but it is always a challenge to try to do this," said Hahn. Hahn likes to have her students exchange pictures of themselves and other pertinent information at the start of the course. She also leads group building exercises which helps bring the class members as close together as is physically possible. One reward of the system that Hahn finds is when she is able to meet her pupils in person after the class ends. Hahn keep sin touch by holding one individual telephone conference with each student. She can also be reached through the UNL Ready-Line. One advantage Degrand finds with the program is that people are already familiar with telephone technology and subsequently display greater ease with using it. . "We are trying to reach the same level of quality that Kansas already has, and also become self-supportive like them," Degrand commented. "They have a very thriving state-wide network so they are about ten years ahead of us. Also being offered this fall are "Spe cial Means of Teaching Health Occupa tions," taught by Iris Winkelhake and "The Middle Years of Human Life," taught by Douglas Abbott of UNO. The health occupations course is the only undergraduate course offered. Cost of an UNCEAN course is $65 por graduate credit hour and $54.50 per undergraduate credit hour. t - -r. -.XI if.
