He said some new orientation
programs for faculty, staff and
students would address all forms of
diversity.
Jolly said the office planned to
develop more appropriate and
broader tools for evaluating non
traditional faculty and staff.
And, he said, the office would
make improvements in coordinating
services for the disabled.
Jolly was bom in Rhode Island.
He said his grandfather and father
moved east from Oklahoma to seek
fame and fortune.
“Neither found either,” he said
fondly.
Jolly said his mother was a
member of the Algonquian tribe,
but that his tribal affiliation was
Cherokee.
His family lived on the edge of
the Narragansett Reservation in '
* Rhode Island, but moved back to
Oklahoma during his adolescence.
Jolly was a gold medalist at the
International Science and Engineer
ing Fair in high school. He won
with a redesigned laser beam.
He earned his undergraduate
degree from Rhode Island, where he
graduated as valedictorian in 1979.
He earned his doctoral and master’s
degrees in psychology from the
University of Oklahoma.
After earning his doctoral
degree, Jolly worked at Eastern
New Mexico University in Portales,
N.M., and later at Indiana State
University in Terre Haute.
Jolly is recognized, both within
the Cherokee Nation and interna
tionally, as one of the nation’s
leading Native American basket
artists. His work has been exhibited
at several galleries and museums,
including Rhode Island School of
Design and the Smithsonian
Institution.
Cherokee basket weaving is
based on tradition and values, he
said.
“A basket starts with four reeds,”
he said. “They represent the four
values of my people.”
Jolly said they represented
animal life, humanity, the Earth and
the Great Spirit.
Cherokee baskets have no loose
ends, he said. Each reed is woven
smoothly into the basket and then
into a shell around the inner basket.
Jolly said the basket and its story
depended on his mood or what he
was researching.
Jolly also is talented in other
areas.
He is proficient in American
Sign Language and competent in,
Plains Indian, French and Russian
sign languages. He is developing
hjs ability to speak Romanian.
Jolly also knows how to read
Braille.
He paid for his first year of
graduate school by signing for the
deaf at nightclubs and other social
functions.
Jolly worked on Project Washoe,
a research project that tried to teach
chimps to sign, for three years.
“I knew some of the actors in the
movie ‘Project X,”’ he said. “The
chimps, that is.”
Jolly has signed for many
famous speakers, such as Jesse
Jackson, Maxine Hong-Kingston,
who wrote the book “Women
Warriors” and Roy Curtis III, the
Nobel Prize-winning biogenesist.
“I didn’t always like the inter
preting because it was so intense,”
he said, “but part of my fee was
getting to spend an hour with each
person before they spoke.
“It was always a wonderful,
exciting opportunity for me.”
Before the Soviet Union broke
up, Jolly said, the country revealed
it had a tremendous alcohol ,
problem. He was^fie of the first psy
chologists who traveled to the former
U.S.S.R. to teach top Russian thera
pists how to treat the problem.
“One day I was with a group or
deaf Russians, and they were
signing that a plane had landed in
Red Square,” Jolly said. “I didn’t
believe that I was seeing them
sign.”
Jolly said he signed them to tell
Alcohol panel has low turnout
tsy Tom Mainelli
Staff Reporter
CpI. Larry Kalkowski of the UNL
Police Department said he was un
happy Thursday with the low atten
dance at the Campus Safety Week
anel discussion on alcohol.
.. “We hear about
the need for these
types of programs,
and then we get this
response,”
Kalkowski said.
“It’s kind of dis
couraging.”
Kalkowski, a member of the Uni
versity of Nebraska-Lincoln police
crime prevention unit, spoke about
some of the physical, mental and legal
effects of alcohol abuse Thursday in
the Nebraska Union Crib.
“We don’t take a holy approach,”
he said. “We just want people to
realize the dangers.”
Duke Engel, director of Lincoln
General Hospital’s Independent Cen
ter, joked about the panel’s small
audience.
“This is one way to clear out this
place,” he said. “We should have had
this in the parking lot so I could get a
spot.”
Engel said the center’s alcohol
awareness programs included look
ing at the attitudes that caused drink
ing problems, drinking habit evalua
tions and support for family and friends
of problem drinkers.
Linda Schwartzkopf, director of
Student Judicial Affairs, said having
alcohol on campus was against the
university’s student code.
Schwartzkopf said her office dealt
with 200 to 300 cases of alcohol vio
lations on campus a year.
Janet Crawford,community health
coordinator at the University Health
Center, said the center’s alcohol pro
grams and the recently formed group,
Students Taking a New Direction,
were ways to help students avoid al
cohol problems.
Crawford also pointed out some
signs that students should look for
when they are with intoxicated friends.
Low, lapsed or ceased respiration,
cold, clammy skin, convulsions and
lack of response to pain all could
mean acute alcohol poisoning, she
said. She urged students to call 911 if
they thought their friends might have
acute alcohol poisoning.

him again what they were talking
about. 1
“They asked me what I thought
they were talking about,” he said.
Jolly signed them that he thought
they were talking about a young
German pilot who landed his plane
in Red Square.
“They signed back to me that
that was what they were talking
about,” he said laughing.
The walls of Jolly’s new office
are lined with books, his degrees,
awards and pictures.
A photo of his father stands on a
file cabinet in the comer, and a
picture of Jolly with Bishop
Desmond Tutu stands alone on
another file cabinet.
A picture of Jolly and his wife,
Laurie, on one of their wedding
anniversaries sits atop another
cabinet. She had the date engraved
onto the delicate frame.
Jolly said they were married on a
Cherokee National Holiday. Their
anniversary is in October.
He also has a couple of pictures
hanging on the walls that tell stories
of Native Americans. One of them,
“The Trail of Tears,” tells of an
Indian tribe’s forced exodus from
its home. The artist painted the
people fading as they walked over a
hill.
Another wall is simply, but
powerfully decorated by a large,
black-and-white picture of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
