The course was civil engineer ing, it was taught by an ROTC lieuten ant, and was located in the only building on campus, University Hall. Since then, the College of Engineering has grown to offer 15 different programs ranging from agricultural engineering to manu facturing engineering technology, on campuses in Lincoln and Omaha. In today's technologically-oriented world, demand for high quality en gineers is great and the UNL College of Engineering supplies some of the best. According to Stanley R. Liberty, dean of engineering, of 290 engineering colleges in the country the undergraduate pro grams offered at the university are, "as good as any in this region of the country," and in terms of size of the college, diversity of the programs offer ed, dollars of research money generated, and performance of faculty and students Fantastic Food . . .

Freshmen applying to the college must have a minimum ACT score of 23 and a high school background including math through pre-calculus, one year of chemistry, and one year of physics. Students may remove these deficiencies through university coursework, but must maintain a GPA of 2.5 while doing so. The college requires its students to keep a minimum GPA of 2.4, with students falling below that level being suspended until their average reaches the acceptable standard. The college consists of approximately 2,600 under graduate students and approximately 400 graduate students. One goal of the college is to increase the proportion of women and minority students majoring in engineering, Liberty said. Opportunities are very good for graduates of programs in this college, he said. Typically they are employed nationwide, while a majority leaving the state, Liberty said. Students are leaving the college well prepared, he said. "I have had outstanding feedback from companies that employ our stu dents," Liberty said. Liberty said he is proud of the students and faculty of the college, because their spirit, morale, and pro ductivity are high, despite financial pressures from budget cuts. Home Economics By Trevor McArthur Staff Reporter Home Economics at UNL is more than sewing, cooking, and changing diapers. Those subjects are covered, but it is also much more than that. Students in the college can study in child and family development, nutrition and restaurant management, or fashion design and marketing. The College of Home Economics dates back to 1898 when the School of Domestic Science was created as a part of the Industrial College. Since 1970 it has been a separate college with central facilities on East Campus of UNL and a few programs at UNO. Today there are about 1,000 students in the college, making it the 12th largest home economics college in the nation. Students in the college can major in four departments: Consumer Science and Education, Human Nutrition and Food Service, Human Development and the Family, and Textiles, Clothing, and Design. Twenty-one options are avail able for undergraduate degrees and four master's degrees can be obtained. Research projects help students gain experience in their field. Budget cuts have had an effect on the college, but so far the faculty has been able to keep negative impacts at a minimum. A few classes are being offered less frequently, which has caused problems with some students' schedules, and vacancies left by retire ing teachers are not being filled. Karen Craig, dean of the College of Home Economics, said the faculty have been able to reduce their operating expenses, which in the past were ex tremely high. She also said that she hopes the enrollment doesn't grow too much. While she won't turn students who want to enroll in the college away, an increase in enrollment would over load the faculty, she said. But for now, even with the cuts, the faculty is optimistic about the future of the home economics college. Journalism By Adam T. Branting Staff Reporter The UNL College of Journalism has not only been acclaimed as one of the top ten "J" schools in the nation, but claims an extraordinarily high number of post graduation placement, said Wilma Crumley, associate dean of journalism. The college was established in 1983, after changing its name from the School of Journalism. The school broke away from the College of Arts and Sciences in 1979. The college boasts an enrollment that Crumley said is the fastest growing on campus. Last year's enrollment of 1,040 is supposed to increase this year by nine percent, (93 students), she said. The college offers a bachelor's degree Sea PHOFILES on7
