Orr: Curtis school
linked to economy

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. L

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

General studies to get support
By Lee Rood
Senior Reporter
ASUN president Andy Pollock
awaits a decision from the Student
Court that would allow more than
2,300 general studies students at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln to be
represented by ASUN.
ASUN must appoint a new justice
and chief justice before the court can
make a decision on the issue, Pollock
said. One justice moved away and the
other transferred out of the law col
lege, he said.
While general studies or unde
clared students comprise the fourth
largest area of study on campus, Pol
lock said, they are not represented
satisfactorily because general studies
is not recognized as a college.
A bill passed by the ASUN Senate
last week brought the issue to the
attention of the Student Court, the
judicial branch of ASUN.
If approved by the Student Court,
the area of general studies will be
recognized as a college for the sole
purpose of student representation.
General studies students are not
represented now in the ASUN Senate
because a student must declare a
major to be a senator, Pollock said.
Although the students are not rep
resented in ASUN, they aren’t ig
nored.
Donald Gregory, chief adviser for
general studies students, said calling
the group of students part of a college
for representation is an “excellent
idea.”
General Studies Advising, in
Administration Building 226, will
move later this semester to the north
east comer of the Administration
Building basement.
Gregory said General Studies
Advising was formed because stu
dents needed an “academic home.”
Students who are undecided about
their majors, have just transferred or
have too low a grade point average to
get into their college can get counsel
ing at the center, Gregory said.
Many students prefer to keep their
options open, he said, and the center
lets them do that.
