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

"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."

said. "It is a means of supplying a need
for people."
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.
