at UNL ranks in top 25
list of nation’s programs

Staff Reporter
The Department of Educational
Administration in the University
of Ncbraska-Lincoln Teachers
College has been ranked in the top
25 educational programs in the
nation.
The rankings, produced by the
University of Illinois-Urbana
Champaign, listed educational
administration departments nation
wide.
It’s nice to know that some
one outside your department likes
what you’re doing,” said Ron
Jockcl, department chairman.
Jockcl said no other colleges
from the Big Eight Conference
were listed in the poll. The rank
ings did include Big Ten schools
and independent schools, such as
Notre Dame and Penn Stale. Rank
ings were determined from a na
tionwide sampling survey of schol
ars in varying academic areas.
“The ranking was nothing we
applied for or sent in a bunch of
recommendations for,” Jockcl said.
But the department must con
tinue to move forward, he said.
“We can’t rest on our laurels.
We’re not perfect. We have many
things underway right now. We
must be doing something right,”
Jockcl said.
Jockcl also said he is proud of
the ranking and that it is an honor
for the department and for UNL.

Robert Clark, director of student
accounts, said he has talked to some
of the 1,100 students with Stafford
loans for the summer who wanted to
know how they could pay for their
classes. Students could take out short
term loans through financial aid or
borrow from friends, family or banks,
he said.
Clark said there are “too many
summer sessions, too many students
and not enough time,” to process
deferments of payment.
The federal government has made
so many changes in policy, Clark
said, that he had to rely on the finan
cial aid office to keep track of all the
changes rather than know them all
himself.
Beacon said he has “yet to see
them (financial aid regulations) be
come more lenient.”
“This is a federal requirement
linked to the problems of high dc
fault,” he said.
The financial aid office must
comply with federal regulations, al
though the default rate at UNL is a
low 3.3 percent, he said.
Beacon said the Office of Scholar
ships and Financial Aid asked the
Department of Education if the sum
mer sessions could be considered as
one session with four mini sessions.
“That would have made it eas
ier,” he said.
But the current system is the best
solution possible, he said, because
the office has tried to make it easier
for students and itself.
UNL could solve the problem by
holding just two summer sessions, he
said, providing that this year’s regu
lations remain the same for next
summer.
The university could establish a
five-week summer session followed
immediately by an eight-week ses
sion, he said. That would both pre
serve the popular five-week session
and allow students 13 weeks of class,
he said.
Gosch said “some things need to
be done different next summer,” but
doubled that the UNL would limit the
number of summer sessions to two.

log hasn’t been installed yet, Cook
said, some students have been con
fused by what is and what isn’t in the
computers.
If students can’t find what they’re
looking for in the computerized sys
tem, the standard card catalog files
still arc available for use in all library
branches, Cook said.
About 50 terminals, spread through
out the 12 branches of the library,
already have been hooked up to the
system for public use, she said, and
additional terminals will be added in
Ihc future.
An on-line suggestion box invites
comments and suggestions from us
ers about the automated system.
Overall, she said, the comments have
been positive.
Cook said planning for the compu
terized card catalog system began in
1986, with funding provided by the
Nebraska Legislature.
The circulation system at Love
Library has been fully automated for
11 years, she said, but the first public
computer terminals were placed in
the library April 1.

exchanges by 1 .(XX) from each coun
try would promote understanding
between the countries, Bush said.
While in Omaha, Bush also awarded
Mad Dads with the nation’s 126th
Daily Point of Light in his “I(XX)
Points of Light” program.
The crowd of about 2,5(X) people
included one child who wore a shirt
stating, ‘‘My body is a drug free /one.”
Some of the ticket holders to the
open-air speech were turned away
when officials decided to limit the
number of people in the immediate
area. Residents gathered outside of
the speech area to catch a glimpse of
the president.
Speaking in front of a sign that
read, “Mad Dads and law enforce
ment together: taking back the streets,”
Bush said Mad Dads had done “radi
cal surgery” on what community
leaders have called a “cancer fester
ing in the heart of North Omaha.”
John Foster, an area resident,
founded Mad Dads after his son Scan
was beaten by gang members in May
1989. Now the group numbers more
than 550, Bush said.
