NE 423-2431J College names E -Week activities By Sara Bauder Staff Reporter Making people more aware of engineers and what they do in college is one of the main goals of the Univer sity of Nebraska-Lincoln ’ s Engineers Week, according to Lori Nabity, campus publicity chairwoman for E Week. This week, which is also National Engineers Week, is E-Week at UNL. The College of Engineering and Technology has events scheduled until Sunday. Nabity said public awareness is especially important this year as the College of Engineering and Technol ogy faces the possibility of having to put another surcharge on its students’ tuition. Engineering students currently arc paying a $9 per credit hour surcharge to pay for undergraduate instruc tional lab equipment. The college needs future funding for the equip ment to assure its accreditation. “We want the public more aware because the state Legislature hasn t funded lab equipment yei,” Nabity said. “We want to avoid another surcharge on our college. One E-week activity expected to increase awareness is the open house, which will be in the Walter Scott Engineering Center Feb. 24 and 25. Nabity said the open house will give students a chance to show off some of the projects they have done. She said there will be about 60 proj ects on display. There also will be a high school conference on careers in engineering on Feb. 25. This conference, spon sored by the Society of Women Engi neers, is expected to attract about 100 students from around the state to UNL, according to Nabity. Nabity said the E-Wcck commit tee tries to get a lot of engineering students to participate in the week’s events. An event designed especially for engineering students is the career fair, which will be held Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the 2nd floor of Nebraska Hall. Nabity said there will be about 19 companies, mostly from Nebraska and neighboring states, represented at the fair. A bowling and billiards party sianea on tne week on Sunday night Volleyball and basketball tourna ments for students also are scheduled Nabity said these activities are desti ned to help get underclassmen in volved in E-Week. A new event this year is the Awards Bash, which will wrap up E Week on Feb. 25. “We wanted something that would finish up the week,” Nabity said. “It will be like a party for the students.” Nabity said a certificate will be presented to the department with the best participation in E-Wcck. Indi vidual students also will be awarded for outstanding projects. The awards ceremony will be followed by a ca tered meal and a dance. Children of alcoholics can get group support By Larry Peirce - Senior Reporter A self-help group for people who grew up with an alcoholic starts again this semester at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, according to Daryl Bohac, a graduate student who will work with the group. The group, known as Adult Chil dren of Alcoholics, will meet every Thursday at 6 p.m. in 225 Burnett Hall. New members will be admitted at the first three sessions. The group is solution-oriented, Bohac said. Members are encouraged to find their own solutions to prob lems resulting from having an alco holic parent. Bohac said he and an other graduate student in the clinical psychology program at UNL will assist, but not lead the group. “We encourage members to take responsibility for the group ... to create solutions,” he said. Children of alcoholics share some problems when they become adults, Bohac said. Many children of alco holics have low self-esteem, diffi culty trusting others, making friends and tend to deny their emotions, he said. “They’ve grown up with a lack of role models,'’ he said, “and are not encouraged to show emotions. Most ofthem already know what problems they have, they just don’t know what to do about it.” Adult Children of Alcoholics has been offered each semester by the Community Health Department for four years, Bohac said. Each group meets on campus until dead week, he said, but can continue on its own later. Last semester’s group had 10 members, and seven are still meeting, he said. The group is closed to new mem bers after the third week to develop cohesiveness and trust among mem bers, he said. Without new members coming in, members become “less uncomfort able” sharing personal information, Bohac said. Other groups are avail able off campus. Bohac said he sees a positive change in people who attend the group.
