NU students study abroad

A strong economics program tem
pered by new cultural experiences
awaits UNL business students at
Oxford University, said Martin
Holmes, senior research fellow at
Mansfield College, Oxford, England.
Last summer 36 business students
from the University of Nebraska
Lincoln studied at Mansfield Col
lege, one of 35 self-governing col
leges that comprise Oxford Univer
sity.
Holmes, one of the leading schol
ars on the Thatcher government, gave
a presentation about the trip in the
Nebraska Union Wednesday.
The Oxford trip, scheduled from
July 21 to Aug. 18,1990, is part of a
program developed by the College of
Business Administration, said Gary
Schwendiman, dean of CBA.
The program was designed to
expose students to another culture, an
advantage in competing in today's
global business environment,
Schwendiman said.
UNL Students receive credit for
Economics 466 and 467, Pro-Semi
nar in International Relations. Stu
dents also enroll in International
Economics and Business. The pro
gram is designed for and attracts top
students.
Holmes said the courses are de
manding but UNL students handled
them well.
Mary Traulhen, a junior interna
tional business major, said the
courses were more intense than at
UNL, yet class was interesting so it
was easier to study for exams.
Schwendiman said Oxford’s grad
ing standards are similar to those at
UNL.
“ An A student at UNL can be an A
student in this program,” he said.
Holmes said travel opportunities
and the chance to live a different
lifestyle are central to the program.
Students tour Stonehenge, Westmin
ster Abbey and the House of Com
mons.
An extended weekend is set aside
for individual travel. Traulhen said
she traveled to Scotland by train.
Holmes said other students trav
eled to France or toured England.
Because England is about the size of
Idaho, students can see almost the
entire country, he said.
The extended weekend is an extra
expense but cultural events like
Shakespearean plays, symphonies
and concerts in Oxford are included
in the program.
Holmes said maid service, bi
cycles, competitive croquet and three
formal meals a day traditionally are
offered to students at Oxford and are
fringe benefits of the program.
Traulhen said it was great to have
someone clean for her. Bicycles were
a necessity because Oxford was
clogged with tourists, she said.
The program cost about $2,550
without airfare. Dvee Buss, CBA’s
director of advising, said airfare can
range from $700 to $800.
Students who want to enroll are
accepted on a first-come, first-served
basis. Buss said.

As an example, Baker said, Laura
Casari originated the idea for a
course, Ethics In Professional Agri
culture, that is set to begin next
spring.
“Had it not been for Laura,”
Baker said, “we would still be think
ing about developing such a course
three or five years from now.
“The mechanism in NUPAGE is
that we’re looking for faculty leader
ship because they are the ones who
are ultimately going to have to imple
ment it,” he said.
Baker said that doesn’t mean that
NUPAGE will not consider students’
ideas.
Students just need to find a faculty
member who would be willing to
develop their ideas, Baker said, be
cause the faculty member is the one
who will be responsible for the
course.
Thomas said NUPAGE is attempt
ing to combine agricultural education
with other disciplines.
To help accomplish that goal,
Thomas said, NUPAGE has estab
lished an advisory council that has
representatives from each of the
major colleges of UNL.
RECYCLE from Page 1
Jay Schluckebier, UNL assistant
director of grounds, said that before
Dennis Paper Sales installed collec
tion bins, a grounds employee col
lected newsprint from residence
halls and other areas and took it to the
paper company.
But that became too costly,
Schluckebier said, so Dennis Paper
Sales offered to install about eight
wooden collection bins on campus.
The bins were located in several
places, including near the Nebraska
Union and in the residence halls, he
said.
When Dennis Paper Sales no
longer could afford to collect the
paper, he said, the company removed
the bins about two years after they
were installed.
Truax said that although all
wooden bins were removed, an alu
minum collection bin still is used to
collect paper in the Waller Scott
Engineering Center.
The paper collected in that bin is
not newsprint, she said.
Truax said that after the market
price for newsprint dropped, prompt
ing the removal of the wooden bins
from campus, the price rebounded
with a slight increase and remained
steady for a few years.
But in the past four months, the
newsprint market has dropped dra
matically, she said.
Recycled newsprint is used in
making building supplies, Truax
said. Because the building supplies
market has dropped, the price for
newsprint has been lowered by paper
mills, she said.
Paper mills pay the best price for
stock paper such as computer paper,
Truax said, because it has the highest
amount of ground wood in it and is
better for recycling.
Ledger paper and other “file
stock” also is profitable, she said.
Schluckebier said that while the
bins were on campus, there were a
few problems caused because people
mistook them for garbage cans.
The high cost of separating the
Eaper from other garbage put in the
ins could have been another reason
for removing them, he said.
Truax said she couldn’t remember
if there were any particular separa
tion difficulties caused by the bins on
campus. But, she said, the company
docs have that problem with some of
its current collection bins.
Schluckebier said covering the
costs of separation should be an im
portant factor in determining if a
campuswidc recycling program will
work at UNL.
“It’s a big pain to have to separate
it,” Schluckebier said.
To make a recycling program
successful at UNL, he said, different
collection containers should be used
to make separation easier.
The grounds department also may
need additional employees if it will
be responsible for collection, he said.
But Schluckebier said he would
“greatly encourage” a recycling
program because it could save both
space in existing landfill sites and
money for UNL with fewer tipping
fees. .
“I’d like to see someone handle
it,” he said. “If it’s funded, it won’t
be a problem.”
PROBLEMS from Page 1
Crime and safety were rated by
almost twice as many women as men
as major campus problems. While
about 15 percent of college men saw
crime and safety as serious concerns,
almost 32 percent of college women
gave the same rating.
Women also saw stress as a greater
problem than men. While 48.3 per
cent of males rated it as serious, a
higher female percentage of 66.7
reported the same.
Freshmen, sophomores and jun
iors were more likely to feel that
stress was a major problem than sen
iors did. While 66.2 percent of fresh
man, 55.6 percent of sophomores and
65.2 percent of juniors cited stress as
a serious concern, the percentage of
seniors citing the same dropped to
35.9.
Griesen said that although a cer
tain amount of stress is inevitable, he
is concerned because it has negative
effects and can can lead to suicide.
UNL offers four different counsel
ing centers to help students cope, he
said. They are the Psychological
Consultation Center, 111 Burnett
Hall; the Educational Psychology
Clinic, 130 Bancroft Hall; the Uni
versity Health Center’s mental health
clinic; and the University Counseling
Center at 226 Administration Build
ing.
Barth said he plans to include the
“problem” question in future sur
veys to help gain an understanding of
campus concerns.
“It will be interesting to do a fol
low-up survey,” he said.
The survey’s margin of error is
plus or minus 6 percent.
Student basketball season ticket applications are available now at the
Athletic Ticket Office and East Campus Union.
Applications will be accepted: October 2nd through 6th, Athletic Ticket
Office, 117 So. Stadium, 472-3111.

Council grants
alcohol permit
From Staff Reports
After voting down the request at last week’s
council meeting, the Lincoln City Council on
Monday granted a permit that allows alcoholic
beverages to be served at upcoming off-cam
pus sorority parties as long as minors are not
served.
Council member Jo Gutgsell said the three
dissenting members changed their minds be
cause of a letter sent to the council by Ann
Adams, adviser of Alpha Xi Delta sorority.
Gutgsell said the letter stated four precau
tions Alpha Xi Delta and Kappa Delta would
take at the parties, including checking identifi
cations, issuing ID bracelets to all persons aged
21 and older, serving non-alcoholic beverages
and having designated drivers.
“We aren’t anti-moderate drinking.... We
want to be careful with our children that arc
underaged,’’ Gutgsell said.
The parties will be Friday and Oct. 6.

ROTC from Page 1
The queen asked him where he was
from and what his major was. She told
him it was a shame he couldn’t join the
royal family on their vacation.
Prince Andrew also spoke to Weldon
and shook his hand.
Weldon was the only American on
board the HMS Amazon, a British Royal
Navy frigate and all-purpose war ship
that aids land and sea attacks, and can
detect and destroy submarines.
Weldon said he got along fine with the
British sailors, but found them a bit arro
gant.
“They have this (idea) of being the
first civilized group of people on the
earth,” he said.
Seniors in the Navy ROTC program
can apply for a foreign-exchange pro
gram to learn practical applications of
Navy techniques.
Weldon said he wanted to go to Aus
tralia, but the United Kingdom was his
second choice. Weldon was one of six
Americans chosen to travel to the United
Kingdom.
The foreign-exchange program helps
the participants apply fighting tactics
and practice working with the United
States’ allies, Weldon said.
Weldon spent his time sightseeing
and participating in mock-wars. He was
involved in two joint maritime courses.
The courses were war simulations and
each one lasted two weeks.
He said that during the war simula
tions, the crew had to be prepared for
anything to happen, including mock at
tacks in the middle of the night or fixing
equipment that the crew leaders deliber
ately would break.
Besides England, Weldon said he
toured Scotland, Amsterdam and Spain.
