However, students attributed the
length of their stay at UNL to several
other reasons.
Tricia Kreikemeier, a senior ac
counting major, said that working part
lime while taking 12 to 15 hours a
semester made it difficult for her to
graduate on time.
“There’s a perception that since
it’s called a four-year institution, it
takes four years. But if you talk to
most people, it takes five years.”
Kreikemeier said.
By the time Kreikemeier gradu
ates in December, she will have taken
four and a half years to finish her
program, even with summer classes
every year.
“It’s impossible to do it in four
years,” Kreikemeier said.
Students found other factors stood
in the way of a four-year degree in
four years.
Tyrone Byrd, a senior in sociology
and Nebraska football player who will
have taken five years for his B.A.,
believes that most students aren’t de
termined to finish in four years.
“They gel here, and they’re so
awed by college, and they get dis
tracted by partying, that their grades
slip. Then they get serious," Byrd
said.
Problems with curriculum and fac
ulty advisors can also hinder the stu
dent.
Shannon Farrar, a junior in educa
tion, will graduate in four years de
spite misdirection from her advisors,
she said.
Griesen said he generally agreed
with student concerns.
Finances are usually cited as a
problem, but are not always school
related, Griesen said.
“Lifestyle expectations are a large
part of it,” Griesen said. “Some stu
dents may not have money for tuition,
but are making payments on a car.”
Students working to put themsel ves
through school is more noticeable
nowadays, Griesen said, since col
lege has become more available to
working and middle-class students.
Also, he said, increased special
ization in majors means that when a
LoveFest to rock Lincoln through gospel
From Staff Reports
LoveFest, the day-long concert of
contemporary Christian rock music,
will kick off this Saturday at noon at
Riverside Park in Milford.
John Nellessen,co-chairman of the
LoveFest steering committee, said
LoveFest began in 1985 as a way of
reaching youth with the gospel.
“Contemporary Christian music
would probably be the best way to do
that,” Nellessen said.
Only alittle more than 1,000people
attended the first festival, but
Nellessen said he expects between
7,000 - 8,000 this year.
Petra, DC Talk and Whitecross
will headline the festival.
Other groups performing are News
boys, Fighter, Roger Cooper, David
Burke, Masada, Shadow Wings and
Rusty the Clown and Dusty.
Because a food court will be lo
cated on the grounds, no exit passes
will be given this year, Nellcssen said.
Advance tickets cost $13 and are
available at Maranatha Christian Re
source Center, while tickets at the
gate will cost $15. Nellessen said the
ticket money is used to cover the costs
of the concert.

student decided to change his or her
field of study, they must lake more
basic or required courses. Griesen
said it is not unusual to sec some
graduating seniors with 150 to 160
hours.
However, not all reasons for the
longer stays at universities arc nega
tive, Griesen said.
Some students, he said, purposely
concentrate on internships, for a bet
ter idea of their career direction, or
they take fewer hours to avoid a class
overload, or many students get in
volved in activities that take up a lot
of time.
“Others feel it is worth the experi
ence,” said Griesen.
Those entering UNL this fall are
told that current expectations for a
bachelor’s degree is to receive it in
five years.
But Brian Anton, a senior in En
glish graduating in August after four
years, said he believed motivation is
the key.
“Some people enjoy school, and
some, want more depth. There is the
motivation to gel out in four years, if
one wants to,” Anton said.

“That’s an excellent record,”
Sievers said. “Fewer students have
dropped out over the past five years
because of increased standards.”
Sievers said that the freshmen of
1996 will be prepared for the new
requirements because the university
has notified high school counselors of
the tougher standards.
“This year’s eighth graders will be
k
aware that they need to get an extra
year of math and language,” Sievcrs
said.
“I think this is a positive move for
the whole university and for the Teach
ers College,” Sievcrs said. “Just talk
ing about raising standards gets stu
dents moving to get extra math and
language, and that’s beneficial for
society as a whole.”
