None of the student organizations
that a pealed to the Nebraska Union
Board for office space prior to or at the
board's final semester meeting Tues
day night was kft homeless.
Although the African Student Asso
ciation, UNL Pre-Dental Club and Col
lets republicans did not submit their
oLIce space request by the April G
deadline, the board passed an amend
ment giving the groups Union space.
Mary Marcy, board president, said
the organisations were allocated space
because it was available and the groups
showed interest through letters and
presentations to the board.
The board also voted to accept the
entire space allocations motion as orig
inally proposed. Major space changes
included the relocation of the Univer
sity Programs Council from office 221
to office 237, now occupied by Student
Legal Cervices. Suite 325 will be the
new home of Legal Cervices.
Mark Scud dcr, ASUN president, out
lined his concerns about the relocation
of legal services, and suggested UPC be
moved upstairs. Although the newly
assigned office fits Legal Services' need
for expansion, Ceudder said, Suite 335
tial bee;
iuse cf
doors that connect
from an adjoining study room.
Mary Dunbar, former UPC presi
dent, spoke in favor of the board's orig- -inal
space proposal and against Scud
der's suggestion to move UPC to third
floor. She said that because many peo
ple frequent the Campus Activities
and Programs office and the UPC office,
the Union would be disrupted by many
students going up and down the stairs.
Frank Kuhn, assistant union direc
tor, said modifications would be made
to the office to make it suitable for
Legal Services use. Scudder then with
drew his motion. -
The high cost of relocation and lack
of storage space were the concerns"
expressed by Student Watch President
Mike Wozny. Because Student Watch is
self-supporting, Wozny said the organ- -ization
could not afford the cost of
phone installation. lie also said that
because of the amount of equipment
stored in the Student Watch office, the
organization is running out of space.
To provide support for Student
Watch, David DeCoster, UNL dean of
students, cited the organization's high
priority need on campus, large student
membership and high volume of act
ivity. Kuhn said more storage space could
be given to Student Watch while the
- board decided to discuss absorbing
the cost of the phone bill at another
time. ; ".
UNL
ttracts Merit Scholars
The number of Na
tional Merit Scholars at
tending UNL has more
than tripled since 1978,
the director of admis
sions and advising said.
Al Papik said that in
1978, the first year UNL
became involved in the
National Merit Scholar pro
gram and began recruit
ing scholars and provid
ing scholarships, 51 Na
tional Merit Scholars
were enrolled at UNL.
Last year, UNL had 1 62
National Merit Scholars.
Of these, 47 were fresh
men, Papik said. He said!
that is notable since the
entire state had 51 fresh;
men National Merit Scho
lars. s
One of the main rea
sons UNL attracts Na
tional Merit Scholars is
because it is committed
to the program and sup
ports it with a lot of scho
larships, Papik said.
UNL offers National
Merit Scholars a four
year scholarship of not
less than 500 per year or
$2,000 total, Papik said.
Anything above this is
awarded according to the
student's financial need,
up to $3,000, he sadi.
The money for the schol
arship, is raised by the
University - cf Nebraska
Foundation, which solic
its funds specifically for,
merit scholars from pri
vate donors, industry,
alumni and other organi
zations, Papik said. About
$85,000 of the money the
foundation raises is for
the Merit Scholar Pro
gram, he said. ,

Gideons spread gospel
By D bisson
Few things in life are free: air,
advice and, when Gideon Interna
tional is on campus, Bibles.
Gideon International, a non-denominational
Christian organization,
hands out the gospel in the hope
. that people will read it and become
.better Christians, said Louis Wiebe,
president of the Gideon Camp in
Beatrice.
The Gideons stood outside the
Nebraska Union and at various cam
pus locations giving away copies of
the New Testament and Psalms to
people passing by.
Ralph Crisp of the Omaha Gideon
Camp said campus response to the
Gideons was good and people were
courteous.
Each U.S. city has at least one
Gideon camp and members from all
" camps, help pass out Bibles, said
Roger Paupa, also of the Omaha
Camp.
The cost of each Bible is about 90
cents, Paupa said. Gideons gener
ally hand out about 6,000 Bibles
each morning, he said.
Gideon members buy Bibles with
donations from various churches,
said Wiebe. The Gideons also hand
out the Scriptures in hospitals ho
tels and other service centers, Paupa
said.
A few people refuse Bibles, but,
Paupa said, they mostly are people
who already have a Bible. Wiebe
said some people even tell Gideons
they are doing good work.
Wiebe said students are not pres
sured by Gideons. They can decide
whether they want to take a Bible or
not.
The Gideons come to UNL for one
day every year. If they get permis
sion, Wiebe said, the Gideons plan to
come again next year.

From 'camera loading to correct bounce-flash
techniques, Robert Harris of the Eastman Kodak
Company covered a rango of . photograph ! topics
Tuesday night in Love Library Auditorium.
The informal presentation, "An Experience in
Photography" was sponsored by Kodak and the
University Program Council Talks and Topics series.
Harris began with the basics, like the importance
of using a tripod and motor drive for stability and
keeping the background free from distractions..
By the end of the presentation, which included a
slide show and a question-answer session, Harris
had explained that bouncing the flash off an 8-foot-high
white ceiling reduces shadow and gives a softer
look to pictures.
The camera sees things differently than photo
graphers do, Harris said. Shadows are darker and
highlights are lighter on film.
"When you recognise this fact, you can make pho
tography work wonders for you," he said.
The most photographed subject in the world is
people, Harris said. The photographer should focus
below the subject's eye level. Capture the reflection
in a person's eyes, he said, because it makes him or
her look more intelligsnt and exciting.
"Expressions really are everything in people pho-,
tography," he said. . - -
The biggest difference between slide film and
print film, Harris said, is that the photographer vir
tually makes the slide just by taking the picture.
With print film, the photographer makes the nega
tive and the film shop makes the print.
This means that with print film the photograher
has given control of the final prints to the finisher,
Harris said. If prints!, are - not to the. liking of the
photograher, he said, they and the negatives should
be returned to the finisher with further instruct
ions. " : .I
"Jf you want the best quality and the best cost, use
the.,, In for the intended purpose," he said.
Harris said photographers should overexpose
rather than underexpose film because underexpo
sure creates fuzzy pictures.
Using a flash and natural lighting together im
proves pictures, he said. Lighting from the side
shows more texture, he said, while afternoon yellow
orange lighting creates warmth in pictures.
Harris said most people dont know beautiful pic
tures can be taken at twilight.
"Photographs exaggerate color during twilight,"
he said.
All photographers should be aware of the psy
chology of color, Harris said. For example, all fast
food restaurants use yellows, oranges and reds
because they stimulate hunger, he said. . -v
Harris has filmed underwater shipwrecks, ski
races and bullfights, and was host of an educational
television series called Taking Better , Pictures.
When not speaking at colleges or for photography
dealers, he coordinates Kodak's Audiovisual Lib
rary. .
