said.
Through ETS, Mendoza
Gorham works with sixth-grade
students and adult students who are
or will be the first generation in
their families to attend a university
or college, she said.
Participants also must meet cer
tain income guidelines. But con
trary to what many people believe,
she said, the program is not minor
ity-based.
Mendoza-Gorham works one
on-one with students and coordi
nates programs that are educational
and cultural, she said.
Students learn which prepara
tory tests to take and how to fill out
college applications and financial
aid forms, she said.
The program also involves a
summer on-campus mentor pro
gram in which students can explore
career ideas and options, she said.
“The students can really get a
feel for the field they’re interested
in,” she said.
Both Upward Bound and ETS
are known for being extremely suc
cessful, she said, and she stays in
contact with the students she works
with after they exit the programs.
“I see them on campus,” she
said, “and some of them work for
me now.”
Students in mock city
tackle real-life issues
By Tonya Cross
Staff Reporter
There’s a place two UNL profes
sors send their students every semester
to help them apply what they learn in
the classroom to real-life situations.
t
That place is a town called
Libcrtyville.
It appears in the Nebraska East
Union one day each semester, when
UNL professors Lcverne Barrett and
Bill Watson bring together their AgLcc
202 classes for an impact exercise.
In Libertyvillc, each student is as
signed a role and a specific area of
interest, such as the City Council or the
PTA. Students must play the part they
are assigned, and some of them even
come in costume.
“Not all the students know each
other,” Barrett said, “It makes it inter
esting for everyone.”
He said students must try to gain
support for their issues and also learn
how to manage the available time.
A town reporter adds intrigue by
snooping around for any kind of dirt,
he said.
Some students face difficulty in try
ing to rally support for their cause
from people who have heard bad things
about them.
“Gossip goes rampant,” Barrett
said, “What do you do when you’re
gossiped about? Do you lose your in
fluence?”
Christy Davis, a sophomore agri
cultural education major, said the ac
tivity emphasized getting along with
people and their personality styles.
“You can sit in a classroom and
inhale all this information, but you
need to experience it, too,” she said.
Nick Toberer, a junior agricultural
science major, said the class taught
students about organization.
“The activity made those people
stand out who would be leaders and
who wouldn’t,” he said.
After the mock city, students rate
who was the most influential and what
issues were most important. Theteach
ers then evaluate what the students
have done.
“It’s a lot of fun, exciting, tiring and
stressful,” Barrett said.

New senate
will learn at
ASUN meeting
Tonight’s ASUN meeting will fo
cus on the future, as a new senate
learns the rules and procedures of the
Association of Students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska.
Eric Marintzer, new ASUN presi
dent, said previous ASUN members,
including senators and first vice presi
dent Steve Korell, would go over pro
cedures for meetings and passing leg
islation.
“This will be a kind of orientation
meeting for members — one where
senators will be given a chance to
learn,” he said.
Marintzer said that, as in most
years, the senate had few returning
members. He estimated that 28 to 29
new ASUN members were elected,
with only four or five returning.
“The impression I’m getting of the
new members is that they’re excited,”
he said. “It’s good to see that they’re
so anxious.”

Career handbook
to be in the hands
of creative students
By Joshua Gillin
Staff Reporter
Students who need some extra cash
for the summer and want to exercise
their creative muscles should get out
some paper and a pen.
Geri Cotter, acting director of the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Ca
reer Services Center, said NU had been
approached by Academic Publishing
Services Inc. — an Atlanta-based pub
lishing firm — to design and distribute
a handbook to help college students
find jobs after graduation.
The two categories open to student
contributions are designing the
publication’s cover and writing an es
say addressing the question “Why
should corporate America recruit Uni
versity of Nebraska graduates?”
Both categories are open to UNL,
University of Nebraska-Keamey and
University of Nebraska-Omaha stu
dents registered for at least six hours.
Both essays and cover designs must
be submitted to the Career Services
Center, 230 Nebraska Union, by 5 p.m.
on April 15.
