Kris Kobza, a sophomore power
Lincoln, angrily ripped the parking
ticket from her vindshield. Within
has gotten at least 10 tickets.
Her athletic training classes last
up to four hours, but UNL meters
surveyed
only allow for two-hour parking. The
time difference is aggravating to
many students.
A recent survey of 50 parkers in
UNL's metered lot at 14th and U
streets shewed that 85 percent were
in favor of a longer time limit.
Of these 50 parkers surveyed, 37
students said they had been tick
eted beause their classes or labs
lasted longer than two hours. Five
others admitted they had forgotten
to plug more money into the meter,
while three said they didn't have
any change at the time.

Burke said that UNL's long-term
goal is to take control of 16th street
which is under city jurisdiction
and install more meters.
He said UNL would like to pur
chase a section of Ord Rock Island
Railroad located on 18th and 19th
streets between Vine and R streets.
If this purchase could be made,
Burke said, more select areas for
meters would be added. He said,
too, that four-hour parking could
become a possibility in time, but
since there have been no direct
complaints to UNL police, two-hour
meters will remain. .

Professors
lessen the
By Dotti Krist
Special to the Daily Nebraskan
Although summer classes are more
concentrated, lack of time to cover
material may lessen the degree of
learning, UNL professors said.
Of eight professors questioned, some
said they believe summer courses can
increase learning because students
confront their material more often dur
ing the week.
However, most said that they find it
difficult to cover all of their subject
matter during the summer. They notice
the students have a hard time learning
the material that is covered. They say
that longer classes, which rob students
of their concentration, may be a reason.
And generally there is less time to
study and absorb the subject matter.

Child artists use Morrill Hall
By Michael Hooper
Senior Reporter
A tree that looks like a popsicle or a
cartoon drawing of a bear are not what
the young artists were told they would
be drawing Friday at Morrill Hall's
Animal Drawing Discovery Us class.
"We're going to draw animals as they
really look," said Jean Claus, the art
instructor for the drawing class of 12
children between the ages of 6 and
12.
Most children draw from what they
have in their minds rather than what
really is before them, Claus said. So the
students were told to use their right
brain, the creative side, by carefully
observing the animal, taking notice of
the animal's bumps, fur, shadows and
various highlights.
Because the left side of the brain is
used for speaking and the young artists
were to use their creative side, Claus
said, "you have to be quiet and
concentrate."
With eyes propped up to the 18-foot .
giraffe in the Encounter Center, pen
cils in hand and paper in their laps,
Claus instructed the students to draw
the giraffe without looking at their
paper.
"Your pencil must follow your eyes,"
Claus said, as the students sat quietly
drawing the towering giraffe.
"Don't look at your paper. Don't
worry that your drawing won't look
good."
This exercise helps the students
develop hand-eye coordination, Claus
said, as well as getting their right brain
working.
In order to draw animals as they
really look, Claus first drew a picture of
a bear in about two minutes. It had five
circles for a body, arms and legs, two
smaller circles for its ears and three
more for mouth and eyes.
"This is not what we'll be learning to
draw," she said. "It's a poor picture
and looks like it was drawn in two
minutes."
Looking at a picture upside down
she drew another picture of a panda,
taking her time. It looked like a panda

sor, said that his students spend three
hours a day studying a language. Dur
ing the summer session, learning is
more "intensive and sometimes more
efficacious," he said.
However, many professors find that
the shorter period of time in summer
can hinder learning.
"It is impossible to require as much
work in the summer session the
credits seem cheaper," said John M.
Burney, assistant professor of history.
And because the usual amount of
material is not covered, standards are
lower, said John Hibbing, associate pro
fessor of political science.
"Students don't learn as much," lie
said.
The longer class periods also may
work against learning, Burney said.
"Students become fatigued in longer
classes. Thus, although you may be in a

"Although this is not a masterpiece,
it looks more like a bear than the first
one, she said.
She then handed each student a pic
ture of an animal and instructed them
to turn the pictures upside down and
draw the animals, taking their time.
Sitting quietly, looking closely at
the pictures, the students drew the
animals. The drawings don't look half
bad.
"Good job," Claus tells the students,
pointing out the good aspects of each
drawing and the parts that could use
some more work.
The artists combine newly learned
techniques when they draw their final
pictures, one of which is an African
elephant and the other an animal of

you can't possibly cover the same
amount of material," he said.
Not only do professors find it diffi
cult to cover the necessary materials,
but they notice that students do not
have much time to reflect on the mate
rials covered.
This is especially true in the summer
session night school, said Hosein Azadi,
visiting assistant professor of sociology.
Students who work in the daytime and
then attend the night school are under
a lot of pressure, he said, because
of lack of time to study.
Besides the lack of time to study,
students cannot give the same treat
ment to papers and projects," said
John Berman, professor of psychology.
They learn less because there is less
time to learn.

Seth Crews, 1 1, said he tried to draw
the elephant so that it would look "like
it could jump out of the picture at you."
Crews of Lincoln said he enjoys
drawing.
"If there's nothing else you want to
do, you can draw good," he said.
"That's another reason I like to draw. It
occupies time."
Sam Ospovat of Lincoln said he
learned that morning how to draw
w ithout looking at his paper.
Eight-year-old Sam joked about the
stuffed animals in the display cases.
"That'd be funny if they had a sign
on the glass that said, 'Don't hit the
glass, you'll scare the animals.'"
