Education organization president
to focus on international teaching J M
By Kyle Brunkow

As president-elect of an international,
teachers organization, Ron Joekel,
associate dean of the UNL Teachers
College, is breaking new ground.
He is the first Midwesterner to
become president of Phi Delta Kappa,
an organization of 150,000 teachers,
professors and school administrators
from the United States and 19 foreign
countries.
Joekel said the organization works
to improve all segments through work
shops and seminars.
During his two-year term, Joekel
said, he will work to improve classroom
instruction. He said group members
sponsor workshops on teaching effec
tively and improving school discipline.
He said the organization also is
working with business and industrial
leaders to use their expertise in the
classroom. Joekel said these people
can help schools teach children how to
use computers and can design com-.

puter-assisted instruction.
The organization also is working to
expand the relationship between homes
and schools. Joekel said Phi Delta
Kappa plans workshops to show par
ents how they can help their children do
better in school.
"Everyone is working together for
the same cause education," Joekel
said. "We all participate and we all
contribute."
Joekel said he will concentrate on
international education. During Christ
mas vacation, he will travel to London,
Moscow and Peking to study the edu
cational systems of those countries.
He and about 40 others will study
the elementary, secondary and post
secondary education and post-secondary
education systems to better under
stand how these countries teach.
"People have a lot of stereotypes
(about foreign countries)...but until
you visit them first-hand you really
don't know," Joekel said.
He said teachers must rid them
selves of their misconceptions about
other countries. To do that, they must
understand how other countries teach
their children, he said.

Occasionally a health club closes
with or without notice. This results in
painful loss of dues invested in mem
berships, frustration with loss of bene
fits and perhaps less contact with
friends.
Even though most fitness centers
offer and deliver continued good ser
vice to their members, this points up
the importance of choosing your health
spa wisely, according to a UNL exten
sion consumer education specialist.
Janet Wilson said she advises visit
ing as many health clubs as possible. If
there is only one where you live, ask for
a tour. Once at the spa, be alert. Look
for overcrowded conditions and check

available to supervise weight use or for
private advice on personalized exer
cise routine.
Be wary of any high-pressure sales
effort, Wilson said. Resist high-pressure
sales of long-term memberships until
there is some indication of long-term
reliability. Most centers will offer long
term contracts, but remember the dif
ference between an "offer" and "high
pressure." Read the fine print in the contract. If
there is something you don't under
stand, ask to have it explained fully.
