■ Education instructor
said greeks need to live up
to their expectations.
By Jackie Blair
Staff ivriter
When students leave Mom and
Dad, they are expected to flourish.
But Don “Dipper” Dipaolo said
each student must first “know thyself?’
Dipaolo, an instructor of education
at the University of Michigan, kicked
off Greek Week with a speech to the
hundreds of greeks that piled into the
Lied Center Monday night
Dipaolo said college students
become so focused on finding jobs,
raising a family and making money that
they foiget what they really want to do
with the rest of their lives.
“We really need to take time to
know thyself,” quoted Dipaolo from an
ancient Greek phrase.
For many students, one of the main
purposes of going to college is figuring
out what they want to do with the rest of
their lives.
Dipaolo said college is one of the
hardest places to get to know oneself.

Aslan studies looks
into World War n relocation
UNLs Asian studies program is talc
ing a look into the circumstances sur
rounding the internment of Japanese
Americans during World War n.
To kick off a three-year study on the
topic, Bill Hosokawa, who has worked
as an editor at the Denver Post and has
written six books on the topic, will
speak at 3:30 p.m. today in the
Nebraska Union.
Hosokawa will speak about “Who
is a Loyal American? The Internment of
Japanese Americans,” examining the
treatment of Japanese Americans dur
ing the war.
The Asian studies’ three-year proj
ect looks at UNL’s involvement in the
college relocation program. The pro
gram let Japanese Americans who were
released from internment camps trans
fer into U.S. colleges. ~
In 1942, when the nrst group was
released, about 100 of 400 came to
UNL, said Andrew Wedeman, director
of Asian studies.
The average at most U.S. schools
was just two or three, he said. Wedeman
said the project aims to figure out why
UNL admitted more students than mokt
schools, how they were treated here and
what their experiences were.

•• You re supposed to go away and
figure out who you are, but its hard
with all the stereotypes
Don “Dipper” Dipaolo
University of Michigan instructor
Amy Johanson, a freshman man
agement major, said Dipaolo had a real
ly good point.
“You’re supposed to go away from
home and figure out who you are, but
it’s hard with all the stereotypes,” she
said.
Dipaolo told the crowd to spend
Greek Week in contemplation - to get
back into their own skin.
“What a greater gift to give our
selves than to get to know yourself,” he
said.
Another major topic he discussed
was how to improve the reputation of
the greek system.
“We have campuses ending the
greek community and building alterna
tive housing for them,” said Dipaolo.
“Why? Because we’re not living up to
what we promised.”
Dipaolo meant that during initia

tion, greeks make promises to live their
lives by certain values and principles.
When they don’t do that, greek sys
tems fail and close.
“Pledge numbers in fraternities
have been dropping,” Dipaolo said. “If
guys were living up to their expecta
tions, then there would be waiting lists.”
He told the crowd to start being
what they said they would be when they
pledged.
Brooke McCaleb, a freshman ele
mentary education major, agreed.
“I think that what Dipaolo said
about greeks does need to happen, but
with what we have, it won’t,” she said.
Dipaolo said the greek community
here at UNL is very lucky to have
James Griesen, vice chancellor for stu
dent affairs.
“He’s amazing for all that he does
for the greek community,” he said.
