    Police unit may change
By Theresa Sindelar
Staff Reporter
The University of Ncbraska-Lin
coln Police Department may
face restructuring because of
Gale Gade’s Thursday retirement,
according to John Goebel, vice chan
cellor for business and finance.
Goebel said Gade had served as
captain of UNL police for 20 years
and was in charge of every aspect of
the department, including working
with city and state police.
Goebel, who also oversees the
police department, said he has “no
preconceived notions about a future
structure’ ’ and wants to get a sense of
all available choices.
“We are looking at documents
from other programs and schools in
order to find a campus unit to handle
both parking and security,” Goebel
said.
“It should take between 90 and
120 days to reach a tentative struc
ture,” Goebel said, “and then other
groups will be asked to review the
system.”
Goebel said the plan will be pre
sented to the chancellor’s staff, an
expanded police advisory board and a
representative body of students, for
feedback.
Goebel said Ken Caublc and John
Burke currently arc serving as joint
interim lieutenants.
In addition to shared responsibili
ties as lieutenants, Caublc oversees
campus security and Burke special
izes in the parking division.
Goebel said there is a possibility
that a new captain will be appointed.

Academic Success Center creates
new student programs, workshops
_
By Jennifer (Jilloglv
Staff Reporter____
The Academic Success Center
will implement several changes
this year in its program to help
students “learn how to learn,
said new director Ken Diewra.
“College is not too late for
learning effective study tech
niques,” he said.
Kicwra, an associate professor
of educational psychology, has
been at the University of Nc
braska-Lincoln for two years. Be
sides directing the Academic Suc
cess Center, Kicwra teaches
undergraduate classes lor the
Teachers College.
One major change Kicwra
plans to implement at the center is
a “unique” system teaching stu
dents that information can be rep
resented and learned in hierarchi
cal patterns.
“We teach them to identify
concepts as opposed to memoriza
tion techniques,” Kicwra said.
Counselors teach students to
take notes that represent these pat
terns by using techniques like
matrix boxes.
Matrix boxes arc grids that stu
dents use to compare subjects.
Different poems, for example,
arc placed vertically on the left
hand side of the grid. Concepts
used to compare poems, such as
theme, style and mood, arc placed
horizontally on the top of the grid.
The intermediate boxes arc
used for comparison.
Kicwra said a matrix box allows
students to sec relationships be
tween topics they have covered in
class and new topics.
The center will offer courses on
“Teaching students how to learn”
through tlic University Founda
tions classes.
The classes will specialize in
teaching study skills.
Kiewra said a limited number
of sections will be available.
“With continued support 1
would hope to see more sections
available in the future,” Kicwra
said.
UNL is offering one such
course this fall and will offer two in
the spring, Kiewra said.

Ken Kiewa, new Academic Success Center director.
In addition to teaching study
skills, the center will continue to
offer tutoring classes.
Tutors no longer will assist stu
dents on individual subjects,
Kiewra said. They will teach stu
dents how to study, he said.
Another new program offers
workshops for public school teach
ers. Kiewra said the workshops arc
designed to teach teachers how to
teach study skills and note-taking.
“I believe that effective study
skills should be developed at the
elementary school level and that
all teachers arc capable of embed
ding study strategy techniques into
their existing classes,’’ Kicwra
said.
Kiewra said research and devel
opment also will be given a higher
priority this year. The center is
producing new materials for all of
its activities and is conducting
ongoing evaluations of its pro
grams.
It will continue to provide vari
ous academic success workshops
as well as supplemental instruction
in selected introductory classes.
