Choosing a major . . .
By Matt Roubicek

Whether or not to declare a major is
a question for many college freshmen.
However, according to two academic
advisors it shouldn't be.
Anne Kopera, coordinator of advisers
for the College of Arts and Sciences,
said, most arts and sciences students
switch majors two or three times. A
student often starts college with two or
three areas of interest, she said. Then
setting up a course load with an adviser
can help him or her begin work towards
a degree in any of those fields, she said.
Dvee Buss, director of advisers for
the College of Business and Admin
istration, said for the first two years all
business students take basically the
same courses. But a student should
have a focus of what he wants to do.
This will help him select the humanities
which will complement that area.
Both advisors agreed that it is not
always vital for freshmen to have a
specific major, but they should have an
idea about what area in which they
have interests.

in journalism and a master's degree in
Arts and Sciences. The college requires
that students, while working for their
bachelors, cannot take any journalism
courses during their freshman year,
and that only 25 percent of their
studies be in the College of Journalism.
"We have more Arts and Sciences
(requirements) than arts and science
does. We place a great importance on
liberal arts," Crumley said. "We find
with the increase (in requirements),
we find very good students. We're
pleased."
The college is divided into three
sections: news-editorial, broadcast, and
advertising.
The news-ed department uses the
lab newspaper The Journalism, as a
teaching tool. The college radio station,
KRNU, is run by the broadcasting
students for the same reason. The
broadcasting department also produces
television news programs for cable in
association with NETV. Advertising
works with all departments.
The faculty of the college are trained
both professionally and in academics,
Crumley said. She said that the faculty
will also serve as advisers to journalism
students.
Teachers
College
By Douglas Engh
Staff Reporter
A 1983 national survey of 900 teacher
training institutions ranked UNL
Teachers College in the top four of its
kind. This, and other awards has elevat
ed the college, under the leadership of
Dean James O'Hanlon, into a position
of national prominence.
This prominence, according to Bert
Alfry, director of teachers college stu
dent service center, has been gained
through the high quality of both stu
dents and faculty. The college main
tains strict entrance requirements, he
said. The incoming student must have
and maintain an accumulated GPA of
2.5, completed 53 semester hours of
credit, and have completed the equi
valent high school course work of four
years language arts and two years each
in math, science, and Social Studies.
Current enrollment of 2,000 under
graduates and about 700 graduate stu
dents makes this the largest college
program at UNL. However, the college
is not able to produce the number of
qualified teachers for the growing
number of national job openings. Due
to tight budgets, enrollment cannot be
enlarged, said Alfry.
"It's (Teachers College) about at the
enrollment it can stand with the re
sources it has," said Alfry.
Once an incoming student has been
accepted, there are a variety of pro
grams the college offers. Initially, a
student is put into an area school to act
as an observer. "This allows that person
the chance to decide if teaching is
really what they want to do," said
Alfry.
There are new programs dealing
with the special needs of junior high
students, a five year elementary teacher
education program, and alternative
teacher certification programs which
give credit for prior work experiences.
Upon completion of the course work,
students are placed in student-teaching
positions for a semester usually in the
LincolnOmaha area.
