Indian Center
The Lincoln Indian Center
hasn't had much money,
publicity or time to operate,
but it still does a lot for Lin
coln's Indian community.
The Indian Center was con
ceived and is operated bv Lin
coln's Indian citizens. Begun
largely as a social center, it
has evolved into a community
meeting place providing varied
services for its people.
The Center's staff secretary,
Barbara Schneider, described
some of the projects that have
been initated. About eight in
dividuals are currently getting
aid from a program for
alcoholics. The Center works in
conjunction with the local
chapter of Alcoholics
Anonymous to provide help for
individuals with drinking prob
lems. There is also a women's
league, sewing group, arts and
crafts program for the children
and an adult education pro
gram that provides refresher
courses in basic subjects like
math and English.
Center personnel also
organize grade school children
to be tutored by University
students. They work through
the Tri-University Program to
set up the tutoring.
The Center has 71 paid
members. According to
Schneider the members must
solicit funds from the Lincoln
community. Most members are
poor people and, although the
Federal Office of Economic
Opportunity provides funds to
hire staff, there is no money for
programs.
The Center's Executive
Board is trying to interest all of
Lincoln s Indian citizens in the
Center's programs. Matthew
Sheridan, an Omaha Indian and
the Center's Community
organizer, saia tne program
was "starting to have some
success." He added, "It has

Speakers have not yet been
picked, according to Bob Penn,
conference coordinator. How
ever, an open meeting to dis
cuss possible speakers for the
spring conference will be Oct.

Penn said the conference will
have five to seven speakers
and will probably receive $4,
500 from the Union Program
Council and $1,500 from ASUN.
He also noted that the Faculty
Senate Convocation Committee
might also financially support
the Conference.
The format of the conference
will be altered this year to in
clude more informal discus
sions. Art exhibits, movies and
possibly plays will also be in
cluded in the conference, ac
cording to Penn.
"The speakers participating
will determine to a large de
gree the definite topics" re
marked Penn, "but we hope to
include cybernetics and com
munication, the mass media
and the arts, as well as other
possible areas."
