UNL program eases
students' adjustment
By Molly Adams
Staff Reporter
Adjusting to college could become
easier for some UNL students.
UNL Multi-Cultural Affairs is help
ing ease students' transition from high
school to college through a federally
funded program. The program, Student
Opportunities Services, (SOS), helps
students deal with pressure beyond
college adjustment. The program is
directed toward students who meet
federal definition of "disadvantaged,"
said Vaughn Robertson, SOS assistant
director. That definition includes stu
dents who are at or near the poverty
level, who come from a non-college
educated family, who are disabled or
who have a GPA or ACT composite
score below the university average.
"This is not a racial program,"
Robertson said. "Our program is aimed
at student's particular plight in life,
regardless of their race."
The program received a federal grant
of more than $100,000 for the 1985-86
school year. The program will be funded
in three-year cycles, Robertson said.
Unless the program is drastically
changed, it should receive funds for
three more years, Robertson said.
SOS student services include time
management counseling, career plan
ning and academic tutoring, he said.
Tracy Mitchell, a freshman broad
cast major from Omaha, said she found
out about the SOS program when she
registered for classes at UNL She said
she is impressed with the program's
personal and academic counseling.
'The counseling aspect is really
good. They can help you plan a college
career and fulfill any deficiencies you
might have," she said.
Robertson said students can receive
college credit in courses such as alge
bra to satisfy class requirement defi
ciencies. Supplemental instruction in
history, sociology and chemistry also
are offered.

Applications for the Model United
Nations Conference are due this month,
a University Program Council member
said Tuesday.
Georgia Panos, secretary general for
the conference, said that although the
event is not until February, the dead
line for choosing specific countries is
Nov. 22.
The 19-year-old program, sponsored
by UPC, helps students learn about the
UN's political process, Panos said.
Students, in groups of four or six,
represent countries in a mock UN
assembly.
This year's conference will be Feb.
12 thru 15. The fee is $28 a group.
Applications can be picked up in the
Nebraska Union Room 237 or students
can call Panos at 472-2454 to have one
mailed.

Walker said he thinks the cereal will
be acceptable to the Chinese.
"China is Westernizing their diet.
They've signed several contracts with
major American convenience food
manufacturers," he said.
Walker and Lu plan to set up test
panels made up of faculty and students
to gain feedback on the cereal's taste.
