over the bills did much to prolong the
three-hour meeting until both bills
failed by a vote of 10-12.
RHA President Matthew
Hammons, speaking in support of the
measures, said he was concerned
whether students who were elected to
both bodies of government could prop
erly serve both offices.
Hammons said the bills were seek
ing a "secure future” for RHA by
providing in the constitution that
elected members would be able to
focus completely on the residence
hall government.
Hammons cited problems in the
past of members failing to perform all
their duties because of time constraints.
Hammon said being member of both
organizations created a conflict of
interest.
However, other members said stu

dents involved in both organizations
were likely the most qualified.
Brenda Starr; president of Burr/
Fedde, said that many times that “your
busiest people are your best people,”
adding that those who would take on
two offices would know the limits on
their time.
ASUN President Andrew Sigerson
spoke at the meeting, saying that gov
ernment had no right to put restric
tions on individual student’s involve
ment in campus activities.
Sigerson said those in student gov
ernment knew the time commitments
involved, and having the same stu
dents working in both governments
helped communication.
Houseparents

Rinehart said houseparents “keep
things running smoothly,” Especially
because they are involved with the
house longer than many of the stu
dents who only live there for 4 years.
May said she had seen a lot of
changes in her 19 years at UNL. She
became a housemother on campus
during the “beatnik or hippie era”
when there was a great rebellion
against authority.
“It was difficult. The alumni wanted
things very formal and the girls wanted
everything to change,” May said. “But

little by little the alums relented.”
May said these days there was a
more relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Also, she said there was a trend back
to the traditional, some of the girls are
more receptive to “old-fashioned”
ideas.
Like parenting, May said, being a
houseparent has its hard times. But
she said the girls in the house were the
best thing about her job.
“They are vibrant, intelligent and
fun,” May said. “It makes life worth
getting up in the mornings.”
Rinehart, a member of Sigma Nu
fraternity, said 38 of the house direc
tors at UNL were housemothers. Tri
angle and Pi Kappa Phi fraternities
have housefathers and Beta Sigma Psi
fraternity has a house “couple.”

Burnett Hall. One was removed in
early January before the new method
was approved. It took three days and
cost the university $911.
The second spot was removed at
the end of January, after Hoback’s
idea was approved, at a cost of $192.
The new method took less than a day
and workers did not have to remove
any furniture from the room.

Hoback said replacement of the
roof at the Dental College, which
contains spots of asbestos fireproof
ing, could cost the university more
than $100,000 using the standard
method. It also would require the
entire facility to be shut down during
the process. But the bag method would
cost about $35,000.
Hoback predicted a comparable
savings would occur each* time the
ceiling glove bag was used for asbes
tos removal.
“The cost (of removal) in the past
would require facilities maintenance

videotaped and viewed later by the
student and the professor.
Watching the video gives the stu
dents another perspective, Anders
said. Because the students can't be
everywhere at once while they are
teaching, the videos allowed them to
see things they may have missed.
‘Testing comes in what the student
put together in the classroom,” she
said. “Using the videos is a way to see
the students put the theories that they
learn into practice.”
Part of the practicum involves
learning about theory, Anders said.
Once a week, students come to
gether to leam theory and present
lessons on theory to their peers. Stu
dents also meet every other week to
share experiences at a seminar.
She said students kept journals of
their classroom experiences. These
journals essentially serve as the text
of the seminar.
A lot of what was discussed at the
seminars came from their journals,
she said.
Pohlman said she liked the idea of
keeping journals.
‘*1 look back at journals from my
first practicum and I can say, ‘Wow,
I’ve really grown a lot.’”
Pohlman said she also had learned
a lot from the program.
“This will help me as a teacher,”
she said.
Anders said this program was good
because it allowed the arrows of theory
and teaching to point in more than one
direction. .
to hold off and watch questionable
areas until it was absolutely neces
sary,” he said.
Now the university can afford to
attend to deteriorating spots in ceil
ings across campus before they be
come crucial, he said.
Hoback also said he expected the
method would be used in public insti
tutions statewide. The consequent
savings would benefit all state institu
tions.
Hoback said he was glad to have
made a contribution to the university
that may provide great savings.
“We’re in the business to educate.
If educators can’t inhabit their offices
of other spaces, it costs money.”
Rich McDermott, director of fa
cilities management/ praised
Hoback’s contribution to the univer
sity community and the state.
“Sometimes there’san attitude that
because we’re spending tax dollars,
we’re not concerned about saving a
buck,” McDermott said. “The State of
Nebraska is getting a real bargain
with employees like Rich Hoback.”
Students used to learn theory in a
campus classroom and then were ex
pected to put that theory into practice
emee they gotajolv The arrow went in
only one direction, from campus to
the elementary classroom, Anders said.

In the new program, the arrow
points more than one way, she said.
Students learn theory, practice it in a
classroom and then bring their expe
riences back to the campus classroom
for more discussion.
Anders said the pilot program was
started in 1986 and would be fully in
place next spring. Up to this point,
students had not been required to par
ticipate in the program to get an el
ementary education endorsement, but
they were encouraged to do so.
Pohlman could have gotten her
endorsement without being involved
in ETEP, but she decided to be in it.
“My adviser said it would be really
exciting,” she said, “and from what I
heard I thought it would be something
I would like to be a part of.”
Pohlman said the program has been
beneficial.
“I love it,” she said, “It’s a chance
for me to learn and teach at the same
time.”
