The Bureau of Business
Research of the College of
Business Administration will
soon celebrate its fiftieth year
of service to the University
community.
Among its most recent
research projects is a survey of
the Lincoln area labor force
scheduled for completion by
mid-November. The survey will
be used in efforts to put the
area's labor force to more
effective use and to help firms
decide whether to locate or
expand in the Lincoln area.
The bureau's total annual
budget averages $100,000 from
the University plus S85,000 in
research grants from different
sources.
"Business in Nebraska", a
six-page publication with a
circulation of 9,000, is
prepared monthly by the
bureau. It includes statistical

Research
reports on business conditions
in Nebraska, book reviews and
annual estimates of the
population of the state,
counties and principal cities.
These estimates are officially
recognized by the state.
According to E.S. Wallace,
bureau director, the research
institiution serves to assist
faculty and students in their
research projects, to apply for
grants for faculty use and to
act as an employment
counselor.
The bureau functions as a
clearing house for information,
with a small research library of
its own. It answers all
questions sent to it, from
private individuals or business
firms in the community.
A recent issue of "Business
in Nebraska" stated that
Nebraska's economy has grown
"more slowly than the nation
as a whole" during the past
decade. The article went on to
library effort
students, alumni, parents and
citizens will join in this effort,"
he said. "Too often we forget
that a strong research-service
library is not just a University
resource-it is a state resource
which can benefit all
Nebraskans."

Jean-Francois Revel, the revolution is already well

THE
celebrates fiftieth year
say, "Nebraska is and will
remain largely an agricultural
state because this is the area of
its greatest comparative
advantage.
"If greater economic growth
in the decade ahead is really
desired, a more balanced and
diversified economy must be
created.
Schmalzried: America
needs day care centers
The need for day care
centers is great, Beverly
Schmalzried, feminist, said
Friday speaking at the ASUN
Time-Out Conference.
"If we are to have both
liberated men and women then
it is extremely important that
we pull off good day care," she
said.
Schmalzried told the
audience in the Student Union
ballroom that four to five
million children need day care
now. The nation has space in
centers for less than one-fourth
this number, she said.
"About 30 per cent of all
women having pre-school
children are employed,"
Schmalzried said.

The bureau has also
provided information to local
proverty agencies on the
qualifications necessary for
governmental assistance.
Wallace estimated that the
bureau works on two or three
research projects at a time in
addition to answering inquiries.
The bureau is involved with
4iri1 for at home
by relatives or in someone
else's home but many mothers
are forced to work only when
their children are in school,
according to Schmalzried.
"A startling .5 per cent of
the children under age six with
working mothers are taking
care of themselves," she said.

the preparation of the
"Nebraska Journal of
Economics and Bussiness", a
well-known publication of the
business administration college.
The bureau has been a
member of the Associate
University bureaus of Business
and Economic Research since
1947.
"This contributes to the fact
that there were 500,000
poisonings in the nation last
year.
"We need to protect the
image of the female worker,"
Schmalzried said.
Currently females arc
experiencing both
under-employment and
non-employment because of
their children, she said. Many
are less effective in their jobs
for this reason, Schmalzried
added.
Men are disadvantaged also,
Schmalzried said, for many are
force to take two jobs because
their wives can't work.
Schmalzried said there are
many problems in creating the
necessary day care centers.
"There is a tremendous cost
involved," she said. "It costs
$2,300 a year to keep one
child in day care. Good day
care costs $35 to $50 a week."
Most of the parents are
unable to pay this much,
according to Schmalzried. The
question is whether or not the
nation will be willing to pay it,
she said.
Another problem is finding
the large number of qualified
employees that will be needed,
Schmalzried said.
"We will be using many
para-professionals, probably
older people from lower
income brackets," she said.
"These people may hold
conservative attitudes about
women and so we may only be
supporting what we are
fighting against."
Other problems are the need
for services related to the child
in day care, evening care, and
care for the child who is sick,
Schmalzried said.
Schmalzried is head of the
Department of Human
Development Family Living
and Community Educational
Services. She is a national
consultant to the Planned
Variation Research Program
and the Head Start Program.
