hancellor report lists
qualifies of 'educate
ETC
The Chancellor's Commission on
General Liberal Education on Friday
released a report listing the qualities
of an "educated person."
The 12-member commission named
objectivity, awareness, tolerance, cur
iousity, flexibility and the ability to
process knowledge as the marks of an
"educated person."
The report is based on eight forums
attended by about 300 people, includ
ing UNL students, faculty members and
alumni.
The members of the commission,
appointed by UNL Chancellor Martin
Massengale in January 1985, now move
into the second phase of their charge:
implementation.
Beginning in mid-February, the com
mission will have several more forums
to discuss how UNL students could
better . acquire the qualities of "an
educated person."
The key, according to the report,
depends on "the commitment and
enthusiasm of the faculty." The report
also suggests that an "educated per
son" should understand foreign cul
tures and U.S. culture in its historic
context, realize the values and cultural
role of art, music and literature, and
have knowledge of good communica
tion skills, mathematics and scientific
methods.
The report emphasizes the values of
advising, peer learning, unassigned
reading, campus activities and cultural
and intellectual events.
The commission will examine course
content, advising procedures, core cur
riculum and student interaction this
spring. In May, the commission will
again publish a report with recommen
dations for improvement.
The recommendations will be long
range, said Sandy Heng, a commission
member and junior broadcastjournal
ism major.
Specific changes can't be imple
mented until 1987-88, said Commission
Chairman Dean Gerry Meisels of the
College of Arts and Sciences, because
each must be approved by the faculties
of each college.
Several other universities, including
Harvard University and the University
of Houston, have conducted similar
studies, Meisels said. But the UNL
study has involved many more faculty
members than other studies, he said.
The committee's goals lend them
selves to the theory of life-long learning
that education doesn't stop with a
degree, Heng said.

STEBELMAN from Page 1
Gay people sometimes face discrim
ination in housing and job hiring or firing
practices, he said. For example, he
said, he was fired from a job in Texas
because of his sexual orientation.
Stebelman also said he has worked
in the coalition to establish resources
for gays and lesbians, to have conferen
ces and to educate people about ac
quired immune deficiency syndrome.
Stebelman won his job as spokes
man for the coalition by default. In
1982, he said, many members were
reluctant to reveal that they were gay.
Since he was willing to speak out, Ste
belman said, he was selected to lobby
for the group.
Stebelman, also has been active in
the Nebraska Civil Liberties Union, and
six months ago became a board mem
ber. Mel Dahl, a member of the Nebraska
Equal Opportunities Commission, said
Stebelman has focused largely on gay
and lesbian civil rights, but he also has
advocated the rights of other minori
ties. He has "brought to a conservative
area the idea that it's OK to be what
you are," Dahl said. "It's not necessary
to hide behind closed doors or in

closets."
At UNL, Stebelman spokes at sym
posiums for the GayLesbian Student
Association on subjects such as "Gay
Liberation and Feminism" and "Femi
nism and Separatism."
"UNL has a strong history of aca
demic freedom," he said.
Through his library work in English,
philosophy, theater, religious studies
and American literature, he said, he
has been able to set up display cases
and provide books on homosexuality.
Stebelman said he appreciates the
library's tradition of respecting differ
ent viewpoints in literature. It's a tra
dition that also spills into the private
lives of UNL's library workers, he said.
Stebelman said he was pleased that
the GayLesbian Student Association
has taken an active position on campus
discrimination. Recent symposiums,
posters and educational programs on
AIDS have successfully promoted gay
rights, he said.
Stebelman said he plans to be active
in gay political groups in Washington.

"IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME TO HAVE
MY CONTACT LENSES FITTED PROPERLY.
Like most people, I'm on the go alot. I Iried contact lenses a
few years ago and was never really happy. Wearing contacts
helped my vision but they became a hassle because of the mild
discomfort and occasional fuzzy vision.
I asked several of my friends who wear contacts to recom
mend a specialist, and moM of them recommended Dr. Powell
at the International Contact Lens Clinic.
I went to their clinic for a no charge consultation to talk about
new contact lenses. Their office offers complete contact lens services
and complete optical services including:
thorough examination, individual fitting, and close supervision
curbs ide parking, convenient central Lincoln location
appointments available lunch hours, and Saturdays
eight week trial program for
Close observation of comfort and eye health
lens strength or fitting modification if indicated
no charge for damaged lenses
spare glasses, sunglasses and special solutions for sensitive eyes
a continuing care program future upgrading of contact
lenses as scientific progress is made.
I decided to have them fit my eyes.and I was very comfortable with
their professional approach, their fees, and their thoroughness.
Everyone in their office helped me become a successful wearer. I
consider their office outstanding, and I recommend them to all my
friends.
