UNL students with schedule prob
lems will save S5 this semester when
they go through drop and add ses
sions.
Tony Schkade, assistant director
of registration and records, said the
university dropped the $5 fee stu
dents normally paid to change class
schedules at the beginning of each
semester.
This year’s 7.5 tuition increase
will cover the drop and add fee, he
said. Drop and add sessions begin
Tuesday.
Schkade said free drop and add
sessions would benefit students who
graduate before a new student infor
mation system is installed in three or
four years.
“People who go through drop and
add will have some benefit before the
new system is up and running,” he
said.
The new system will make sched
ule changes easier, Schkade said. The
details of the system have yet to be
ironed out, and officials are consider
ing several different programs.
One program would let students
make schedule changes by using
special computers on campus, he said.
Another program would allow stu
dents to drop or add classes using a
touch-lone phone.
For now, Schkade said, plans for
the system are on hold while adminis
trators wait for bids from companies
who can install the system. The NU
Board of Regents then must vote on
the bid.
Once the system is installed,
Schkade said, it would be some lime
before it works smoothly.
“You can’t just jump in and load it
and say, 'Let’s get going,”’ he said.

1WRC unveils new name, programs
By Deb McAdams
Staff Reporter
The Women’s Resource Center has
undergone a bit of a transformation
and has emerged with a new name:
the Women’s Center.
Director Judith Kriss said the name
was changed to emphasize that the
Women’s Center is a place to meet
others and exchange ideas — and a
place open to everyone.
Kriss said she also saw the center,
in room 340 of the Nebraska Union,
as a clearinghouse for all types of
information for everyone to use.
Kriss, a member of the Chancel
lor’s Commission on the Status of
Women, said the center’s atmosphere
would depend on the people who use
it.
Individuals may volunteer, serve
internships or seek positions on the
center’s advisory board. Members of
the board will be appointed this fall.
Programs and resources already in
place include counseling and referral
services, literature and periodicals,
and support groups and workshops.
Videotapes, such as “Still Killing Us
Softly — Images of Women in Ad
vertising,” as well as a VCR and
television, arc available.
Established support groups include
Rape Survivors, Adult Children of
Alcoholics, Non-Traditional Students,
Single Mothers, Lesbian Discussion
and Women for Sobriety.
Groups may be formed for those
with eating disorders and for survi
vors of incest, Kriss said.
The center will provide support
and counseling for victims of sexual
assault as part of the Rape Education
Project, a joint effort with the Asso
ciation of Students at the University
Nebraska and the University Health
Center.
A brown bag lunch series, “Women
in Perspective,” will encourage com
munication among and about women,
Kxiss said. The series is scheduled for
Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Discussion topics include family val
ues, dual career families, women in
politics and health issues, such as
depression, breast cancer and PMS.
Chancellor Graham Spanier will
attend the group discussion Oct. 6.
The center plans to announce
workshops about asserti ve com m un i -
cation and self-esteem and a round
table discussion of women's research
projects.
A workshop and support group will
be offered to help create a network of
women in leadership roles.
Graduate Women in Science, a
national organization, also will use
the center as a meeting place and a
mailing address.
