ary arguing for the status quo,” he
said.
Jensen said change was needed.
“I think we need some more differ
cntiation in our grading system ...
especially in the graduate courses,” he
said. “(Unfortunately) we end up with
GPAs that are very uninformative.
“You are losing information,”
Jensen said. “The finer the scale you
are using, the less information is lost.”
Culture

in the past, jazz was recognized as
jungle noise. You have to judge art by
the standard in which it was created,”
he said.
“There needs to be a renewed com
mitment to include contributions of
those persons of color in all aspects of
the curriculum.”
Murray said the history of black
people was not hidden.
“We (Africans) arc a beautiful peo
ple, creative and diverse. Our achieve
ments are here for people to see.... We
must recognize, identify, celebrate
them.”
Following Murray’s address was a
panel discussion about the on-campus
relations between African and Afri
can-American students.
The panel was moderated by
CoSandra McNeal, a graduate stu
dent in sociology at the University of
Ncbraska-Lincoln.
“The purpose of the panel is to
bring together African and African
American students to discuss their
interactions here on the university
campus,” she said.
McNeal said African and African
American students at UNL did not
regularly interact with one another.
“Through the discussion we hope
to try to find a solution to bring the two
communities together,” she said. “We
want to promote unity.”
Panelist and anthropology gradu
ate student Jules Motembo Kitoy, an
African, said that since he had been at
UNL, it had been easier for him to
interact with white students than to
interact with African Americans.
“It’s rare to have an African-Amer
ican student smile at you,” he said.
“What’s the problem?”
African-American panelist
Sherman Robertson, an anthropology
graduate student, said he had interact
ed with people from various African
nations. He said the problem was
mutual poor communication.
“It’s a fact of each of us reaching
out toward each other,” he said. “We
have a legitimate bond. We need to
reaffirm that bond.”
Cassim Masi, president of the Af
rican Students Association, said pre
vious attempts to unite the cultures
had failed. Masi referred to last year’s
African Summit that was supposed to
become an annual event.
He said panel discussions like Fri
day’s event opened the gates of com
munication for both cultures.
“Conferences like this tend to open
up your views,” Masi said. “We tend
to discuss issues freely. It makes you
aware of what was going on before.”
Peterson

projected that between 38 and 52 per
cent of the U.S. payroll will be direct
ed towards Medicare and Social Secu
rity benefits.
Although the projections may look
morbid, he said, there is still lime to
act.
“We arc not going to solve the
problem by following the theories of
the past 12 years,” Peterson said.
Instead of‘‘scapegoating the poor”
like President Reagan did during his
terms, he said. President Clinton has
decided to “scapegoat the rich.”
Now, Peterson said, about S375
billion from such things as Social
Security is received by those with
above-average incomes.
Peterson said he praised the presi
dent’s effort for putting health care on
the national agenda. But there needs
to be more than just talk, he said.
“There is a large gap between
Washington rhetoric and Washing
ton reality,” Peterson said.
Under the new health-care propos
al, he said, the federal government
would pay 82 percent of the cost for
retirement to those who retire at 55.
Peterson said although there had
been a serious effort by the federal
government to come up with accurate
health-care cost estimates, it was still
difficult for them to be accurate.
“Anybody who has studied Amer
ica in the last 40 years will notice that
cost est imates have al ways been grossly
overestimated,” Peterson said.
Americans need to be told that if
the cost of heal th care is not kept under
control, he said, they will be forced to
save.
Peterson said it was important for
the younger generation of Americans
to be aware of the health-care issue
and its costs.
“1 would suggest that young people
get the facts and get informed,” he
said.
Under the new administration, he
said, there is a sense that things will
get done.
“There is an air of new politics,” he
said, “and I have no problem with
plugging away at the issues.”
