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.

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.
