Orr: Curtis school linked to economy CURTIS from Page 1 whole community is on cloud nine.” The Curtis High School Band played at a gathering outside the college celebrating Orr’s announce ment, he said. Regent John Payne of Kearney said he was surprised at Orr’s decision because there have been many legisla tive and business leaders who have called for the university to reduce its scope. Payne said it was another example of thedifficulty in attempting toelimi nate programs because of constant political ramifications. Blank said politics didn’t play a part in Orr’s decision. “Her decision to keep Curtis was based solely on the fact that Curtis is a quality school,” Blank said. Payne said he thinks keeping the school may be expensive for the state. It costs the slate $6,000 per Curtis student in state tax funds to run the college, Payne said. Regent Donald Frickc of Lincoln said he supported the closing of the Curtis school because every Curtis program except one is duplicated by some other school in Nebraska. Blank said it is a fallacy to believe the school’s programs are duplicated. “If that were true, it would be a simple problem to solve,” Blank said.

New scholarship forms report more By Randy Lyons Staff Reporter Students who want to apply for scholarships at the University of Ne braska-Lincoln must begin using one of two newly designed scholarship applications. The new applications, designed by UNL’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, will help university officials look at students more broadly in determining scholarship needs, said Lynn Ford, assistant director of schol arships. The application for incoming fresh men was designed to take into account more than just ACT scores, Ford said. It also will consider factors such as high-school class rank and activities, she said. James Griesen, vice chancellor for student affairs, said there was increas ing concern in awarding important scholarships, such as the Regents Scholarship, on such narrow criteria as ACT scores. ACT scores don’t always reflect success at UNL. The best predictor of how well a student will do here is cl; ss rank in high school, he said. “The disadvantage of the ACT is that it’s just a one-time slice of three hours out of a student’s life,” Griesen said. Ford said the scholarship appiica tiors for upperclassmen will focus on class rank, activities and awards that the student has achieved at the college level. This \vill replace the old method of using information from the Finan cial Aid Form to determine who would receive scholarships, she said. The major benefit of the applica tions is that they give the university a chance to look at the student in terms of important qualities instead of being just a social security number, Ford said. j “We are trying not to reduce stu dents to numbers, but look at them more as who they are and what they’ve See FORMS on Page 5 yr yr yr yr yr ^ w yr ^ yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr yr y* yr yr yr yr yr yr yr y yr yr g HOW TO SPEND MONEY H DURING Ul SI THIS SCHOOL YEAR: f£ ^ &d &> * Pay tuition * Buy that pet snake you always wanted * Buy books * Go on a date ■£/$ * Get some new clothes * Send your little brother a “Go Big Red" T-shirt Put gas in your car * Grab a burger ft ft g HOW TO MAKE MONEY ft SI DURING THIS SCHOOL YEAR: ft ft f» ^ Help Harris Laboratories evaluate pharmaceutical products "6^ by participating in a clinical study. £/$ All studies are: * Fully explained -6^ * Medically supervised ^ * Preceded by a free physical To qualify, you must be a healthy male at least 19 years old.
