Massengale nominated
for presidential spot
From Staff Reports
Marlin Massengale, UNL chan
cellor and NU interim president, has
been nominated to fill the top spot in
the university system, said Neale
Copple, interim director of university
relations at UNL.
Massengale, however, has not
decided whether to submit an appli
cation to the Presidential Search
Committee, Copple said Thursday.
Several people nominated Mas
sengale, but Copple said he did not
know the names of those submitting
Massengale’s name for consideration.
A person may be nominated for
the presidential position but does not
receive serious consideration by the
search committee until a formal ap
plication is submitted by the nomi
nee, Copple said.
Michael Mulnix, UNL public rela
tions director, said that if Massengale
chose to apply and was selected as
NU president, as much as a year could
elapse before a search committee could
find a replacement for the UNL chan
cellor.

Bleed
Continued from Page 1
The “stuff’ in the office isn’t
valuable, but Bleed said he likes
having many things around him.
Bleed said “Indiana Jones’’
movies miss the point of archaeol
ogy because it is not just finding
valuable things.
Archaeology is a good way to
travel without being considered a
tourist, he said.
Japan is his major research area.
He traveled to Japan in 1975.
Bleed recently received a Japan
Foundation Fellowship and will
return to Japan next semester.
The fellowship will give Bleed
a chance to visit his Japanese col
leagues and friends.
“I have a good base and good
friends there,” he said.
Bleed said he is interested in
applying methods of engineering
to archaeological research while in
Japan.
“Japan is a good place to apply
those ideas,” he said.
In the meantime, Bleed is teach
ing 12 credit hours of classes this
semester.
Grader and former student
Russell George, a criminal justice
major and anthropology minor, said
Bleed applies real life experiences
Bleed
to his teaching. This is because he
has the field experience that some
professors lack, George said.
George said Bleed adds insight
to classes.
“I learn in class and from,
class,” he said.
George said Bleed invites stu
dents to think rather than ‘ ‘regurgi
tate” information on a test.
Assignments in Blecd’s«lasses
probably are fewer than other
classes, but he assigns more activi
ties, George said.
Bleed said he sometimes has
students examine litter around
campus, where litter ends up in the
classrooms and the pattern of litter
after Nebraska football games.
‘ ‘The archaeology of garbage is
real interesting,” Bleed said. ‘‘I
see the ability to look at litter as the
same as King Tut’s tomb.”
George said his first class with
Bleed made him interested enough
to pursue an anthropology minor.
Bleed said he does not necessar
ily want to recruit students to an
thropology but tries to convey his
excitement about the field.
“Obviously, nobody reaches
everybody,” Bleed said. “Nobody
has perfect days. It’s important for
students to realize that.”
Bleed said he likes to use mod
els and visual representations in
teaching. He strives to break down
&I
Anna Dockins/Daily Nebraskan
complicated ideas into manageable
terms for students.
The trip to Japan next semester
probably will help his teaching,
Bleed said. Bleed has taught so
phomore archaeology 16 times.
“I like teaching, but if you do
the same thing too long, you kind
of get worn down,” Bleed said.
“Any kind of invigorating experi
ence makes a teacher better.’’
Bleed is teaching a new class
this year - graduate history and
philosophy of museums.
He said that developing the syl
labus, reading list and labs for a
new class is satisfying.
“It’s a wonderful teaching ex
perience,” he said. “The students
arc all jazzed and want to be there.”
Bleed received his bachelor’s
and master’s degrees from the
University of Minnesota and his
doctorate from the University of
Wisconsin-Madison.
His honors include two Japan
Foundation Fellowships, a sum
mer fellowship from the UNL
Research Council, a Kellogg Na
tional Fellowship, a UNL Center
for Great Plains Studies Summer
Fellowship and a UNL Distin
guished Teaching Award in 1988.
Bleed has been at UNL since
1972 and served as department
chairman from 1979 to 1985.
Action, not talk, needed
Forum uses religion to fight racism
tjy Micnaei no
Staff Reporter
A local pastor used a Thursday
open forum at the UNL Culture Cen
ter to explore ways of using religion
to battle racism, while some audience
members warned that religion itself is
aggravating relations among cultures.
The Rev. Susan Davies, pastor at
Aldcrsgatc United Methodist Church
in Lincoln and speaker at the forum,
said action -- not talk -- is needed to
combat racism.
“It’s much too simplistic to think
that to sit here and smile” will wash
racism away, she said.
Combatting racism locally isdiffi
cult because Lincoln is a very homo
geneous city, sue said, and people oi
different backgrounds don’t often meet.
P»pi Peterson, a University of
Nebraska-Lincoln graduate student,
said the problem is deeper than just
ignorance.
“What’s more disturbing is that in
a lot of cases, people don't want to
know about other cultures,” she said.
Davies said that racism has to be
battled with a united and diverse group
that “speaks with one voice.”
Hugh Bullock, a retired postal
worker, said religion is not reaching
out to blacks and charged that their
“indoctrination” teaches non-whites
that they are inferior.
Religion leaches that “this is the
only way: white, male Christ,” he
said. I he power structure has not
changed — The white Jesus is going
to stay because there’s not enough of
us that want to move Him.”
Graduate student Baxter Gamble
said the Caucasian orientation of
mainstream churches is turning some
blacks away. One predominantly black
church in Washington, D.C., already
has parted ways with the Vatican, he
said.
The forum, sponsored by the Cul
lure Center and United Ministries in
Higher Education, was the first in a
four-part “Religion and Racism’
series.
Future speakers will be Father Joe
Bad Moccasin, the Rev. Charlotte
Abram and Joel Gajardo.
