Despite tuition hike, nursing program meets students' needs
The editorial "Nursing tuition hike
will eliminate college" (Daily Nebras
kan, Sept. 9), contains misinformation
and misunderstanding.
First, the article states that the tui
tion increase will eliminte the Lincoln
division. While I regret the tuition
increase, it only raises the tuition to
the level of peer institutions in other
states. Tuition for the College of Nurs
ing, NU Medical Center, still will be
only a fraction of the cost of any other
nursing program in the state, except
Kearney State.
In reference to the duplication of
courses, the nursing program is offered
in Lincoln not because the courses are
different, but because it meets the dif
fering needs of its students and the
community. Many students on the Lin
coln campus are young high school
graduates, and they want to participate
in the full college experience. Another
large group of students is older and
geographically tied to Lincoln by fami
lies and jobs.
The other need that cannot be met
by a program offered only in Omaha is
that of Lincoln health care agencies
that want faculty and students. Agen
cies usually can recruit with less diffi
culty if potential employees have work
ed in the agency as students.
It is not correct to state: "Lincoln
nursing students must transfer to
Omaha to complete their graduate stu
dies." Nurses who want a graduate
degree apply and enroll in Omaha.
Some lecture and seminar courses
can be taken in Lincoln via telecom
munications. Some support courses in
sciences and humanities can be taken
at UNL, and some clinical experiences
also can be arranged at Lincoln and
supervised by graduate faculty members
who live in Lincoln.
The issue of whether the college
would be strengthened by having all
faculty members in Omaha is debata
ble. We are already one faculty. Decision
making meetings are held by cross-
campus television or telephone.
As Ruth Wiese said, the nursing col
lege does lack clinical space. This can
not be remedied by "class sections at
night and early In the morning" or by
holding classes in the Whittier Junior
High building. Clinical courses involve

Residents 'deceived' in study-area construction
It came as a surprise to nearly
everyone to discover the construction
of the study and computer room for women
athletes on the ground floor of Smith
Hall.
I understand the desire for study
space for women athletes, since they
are excluded from the training
tablestudy area at Memorial Stadium.
We in Smith Hall, as well as the HSS
here. We have yet to have our needs
fulfilled.
Last year, we were told that there
was no room for more study space and
that we should use Nebraska Hall, Love
Library or our own rooms. But shortly,
room was found for study space and
computer terminals for athletes. This
room came at the expense of the Smith
piano room. The piano now sits in the
residence complex, are acquainted with middle of what little open-air study
the lack of adequate study space. This space existed in the public-access
is an issue we have been righting for at Smith main lounge, rendering them
least the two years that I have lived unusable.
My music-major roommate now will
have to go all the way across campus to
Westbrook to practice.
I think the residents of Smith, as
well as Harper and Schramm, have
been deceived. Smith residents ulti
mately will be paying for the mainte
nance and utilities for this area, but
will be denied use of it, of part of our
residence hall and of adequate facili
ties in return.
