Starting new relationships. Trusting
others. Coping with sexual pressures.
Being yourself.

and other "avoided topics" today at
7:30 p.m., in the Nebraska Unioa
"It's Basic Life 101," said Rosenberg,
an educator and author. "An expe
rience that can help you get closer to
friends, roommates, boyfriends, girl
friends, your husband, wife, parents,
family or anyone else."
Rosenberg has taught health, family
life and human sexuality at the college
level for 12 years and is certified as a
sex educator by The American Associa

consortium
for teachers
By Jen Deselms

UNL will sponsor the third annual
Nebraska Consortium for the Improve
ment of Teacher Education today and
Friday at the Nebraska Center for Con
tinuing Education.
Education professor Robert Egbert,
conference planner, said the confer
ence has had a previous impact at UNL.
A current experimental program for
educating junior high school teachers
came in part from the consortium. He
said this program helps student
teachers apply theory to individual
students.
Egbert said 15 Nebraska colleges
have teacher education programs. At
the consortium these colleges can work
together and think about current prob
lems and improvements in teacher
education.
He said several colleges made pro
gram changes as a result of the confer
ence. Egbert said the changes affect
the programs and the method of select
ing artd recruiting teachers.
Egbert said the conference is impor
tant because it shows that Nebraska
institutions want to improve their
teacher education programs.
This year's consortium will focus on
research and the cognitive develop
ment of prospective teachers. The key
note speaker, Lee Shulman, a Stanford
University professor, will combine the
ory and research with practical appli
cations in teacher education. He will
speak from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. today at
the Nebraska Center for Continuing
Education.
Egbert said he expects 300 people to
attend the conference.

Furgason said some minority faculty
members choose to leave UNL because
they do not see the rural, predominantly
white setting of Nebraska as a desira

position. "
Owomoyela said that for this reason,
minority candidates need to be given
more incentives to stay at UNL
Owomoyela, Myles, Furgason and Munn
agreed that UNL needs more minority

"It's an active, personal dialogue
where people can anonymously ask
questions, discuss concerns, share
feelings and gain insight and advice
that can immediately help improve
relationships," she said.
Some of the questions people ask
are "incredible," she said.
"Some of them make you really want
to cry," she said. "It's not just a nice
program.' It can make an impact in
people's life."
Rosenberg said she presented her

her college students felt distant from

had low self-esteem, couldn't

Owomoyela said recent attempts by
the College of Arts and Sciences to

Recently, a temporary position held
by a minority instructor in the political
science department drew attention
because the position might be cut.
Zelma Mosely teaches the Blacks in
Politics course in a position created
jointly by the political science and
ethnic studies departments. David
Rapkin, political science chairman,
said a lack of funds has kept the posi
tion "in limbo" since 1984.
Myles said one way to measure the
administration's commitment is to see
whether they keep that position open.
However, in a Sept. 18 Lincoln Jour
nal article, Rapkin said the position is
one of about 35 in question in the col
