Jacobshagen Continued from Page 1 “I’m working with two grad students presently,” he said. “Any one semester, I might have two to four grad students.” Mary Murphy, a UNL instructor and graduate student, taught one semester as Jacobshagen’s teaching assistant. “It was an excellent experience,” she said. “He brings so much to an education.” Another student, Jill Arnold, a sophomore art education major, had Jacobshagen for two consecutive se mesters. “He shows a genuine interest in students,” Arnold said. “He’s not trying to make you another Jacobshagen; he allows you to develop your own style with a sense of control.” Jacobshagen said he was comfortable talking to students about art. “A great many artists would find it difficult to teach because they arc non-verbal,” he said. “I’m intro verted when it comes to my work.” However, Jacobshagen said he was an extrovert socially. He enjoys being around people — particularly his students. Jacobshagen tells beginning art students not to worry if they don’t finish a drawing in his class in the allotted time. The beauty of an unfinished drawing, he emphasizes, arc the marks on the paper that attest to the constant searching of an artist. “I feel I’m an artist who happens to be teaching — not a teacher who’s an artist,” he said. An affection for the material he teaches, he said, helps him view the process of teaching as a continuum of his activity in art. Besides teaching and painting, Jacobshagen said he enjoyed picnics on chilly overcast days with his wife and friends. Paula Day, his wife of six years, also is an artist, and although they share lives, they have separate studios, he said. Jacobshagen said he occasionally took a semester or year off from teaching. Summers are spent traveling or painting, he said. “On an ideal day, I try to work five to eight hours in the studio.” Jacobshagen said painting 20 to 30 hours a week would be great, but he ends up painting 12 to 18 hours. He usually works, he said, on five or six paintings at a lime. Lack of productivity is no longer a problem for Jacobshagen, he said. Many of his paintings can be found in art galleries in cities such as Kansas City, Mo., Greensboro, N.C., Pasadena, Calif, and Philadel phia. Last fail, Jacobshagen had an exhibit at the Roger Ramsay Gallery in Chicago. He is preparing for a show in Kansas City, which opens the first week of May, and another show in New York City in November. Don Lambert, a writer for the American Artist magazine profiled Jacobshagen in the March 1992 issue. He wrote that “Jacobshagen’s works inspire awe in a quiet way.” And in his quiet way, Jacobshagen inspires awe in his students — an awe for landscapes and an appreciation for art. Panel Continued from Page 1 48th St., said he saw the pain that gay people go through. “If people treated me that way, I would give up on God too,” Brctsch said. “The most prejudiced people in the world arc those who have never had to open their mind to reality,” he said. One of the biggest problems with churches today is that “the people who make the policies arc the people who don’t have to face reality,” he said. Cindy Clardy, a spiritualist, said she got her roots in spirituality with the feminist movement in the 1960s. Clardy said she did not believe in a god or goddess that rules over the world, but that she just wished people would stop being so ignorant. All rcligionsarc based on the same principle, “love one another as I have loved you,” she said. Matthew Howard, pastor at Met ropolitan Community Church in Omaha, said his church was an inclu sive community primarily for gay/ lesbian people. He said America’s claims of free dom and openness mean it should accept homosexuals.

ASUN to vote on tax position By Kara Morrison Staff Reporter ASUN will vote tonight whether to oppose a proposed 25-cent tax increase on cigarettes. The bill, which senators tabled for ■I I tax increase. The Clean En vironment Com mittee, a state environmental protection group, is petitioning to place the cigarette tax increase on the November ballot. About S33 million in revenue generated by the increase would be used for environmental projects, such as tree planting and recycling pro grams. ASUN President Andrew Siger son said the increase could hurt the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which depends on cigarette tax revenue for capital construction projects. If the tax increase is approved, Sigcrson said, the Nebraska Legisla ture may hesitate to increase the ciga rette tax for future UNL capital con struction projects. The Association of Students of the University of Nebraska delayed vot ing on the bill last week after Brian Mikkclsen, the statewide coordinator of the Clean Environment Commit tee, asked senators to wait and ex plore both sides of the issue, Mikkelsen said the tax was benefi cial to the university because it could provide more than $6 million for a cancer research program at the Uni versity of Nebraska Medical Center. Sigerson said the decision could be difficult for senators because the effects of the tax increase were only speculative. “If I’m right, (the university is) in deep trouble in the future,” he said. ASUN also will vote tonight on designating the Nov. 21 Nebraska football game at the University of Oklahoma, in Norman, as the 1992 Student Migration Game. Colleges asked to review evaluations By Sarah Scalet Staff Reporter At its last meeting Tuesday, the 1991-92 Academic Senate passed a resolution encouraging each college and department at the University of Ncbraska-Lincoln to examine the fairness of its stu dent evaluation system. The resolution, SENATE Prcscnlcxl by Rich w ard Gilbert, chair man of the Human Rights Commit tee, encourages the colleges and departments to make their evaluation systems as equitable as possible. According to the resolution, slu dent evaluations in a professor’s file may be based on racist or sexist bi ases. The resolution encourages de partments and colleges to discount data that seems biased. The senate also discussed resolu tions, presented by Gilbert, on har assment and discrimination in the classroom. If the resolutions arc passed, course syllabuses would contain a short para graph about harassment and discrimi nation based on sex, race, sexual ori entation, religion, national origin and physical or mental challenge. The paragraph also would state where students could take complaints about violations. Under the resolutions, deans and chairpersons would be required to inform faculty members that viola tions arc subject to sanctions. In addition, a question or ques tions about harassment and discrimi nation would be mandatory on class and university wide evaluation forms. The resolutions on harassment and discrimination were referred back to the Human Rights Committee for further discussion. In other business, the senate passed a resolution about general education, presented by president-elect Royce Ballinger. The resolution endorses the con cept of general education require ments at UNL and encourages col leges to assist in the development of appropriate requirements.
