Monday, January 27, 1986 Daily Nebraskan 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.

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.

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. - i u mrecw Styling Salon Get into the lastest looks with a Directives Perm-including haircut, shampoo and styling.

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.
