Ui!L interns ai
Thone research
By Betsie Amnions
Living in Washington D.C. and working in a
congressman's office was "a really worthwhile experience"
for UNL students Karen McCaw and Bill Mueller, who
spent the summer as interns for U.S. Rep. Charles Thone
(R-Neb;).
Interns type, stuff envelopes and run errands, said
McCaw, a junior majoring in journalism. In Thone's office,
they also were assigned research projects on topics which
will aid the congressman in congressional presentations, she
said.
McCaw said she studied government over-regulation of
private enterprises. Thone will present the information she
found to a committee studying alternatives to regulating
agencies within the government.
Find evidence
Mueller, a political science major, said he did research to
find evidence that the development of a
government-controlled consumer protection agency will
create more red tape than good results" as Thone suspects.
A bill currently in the House would create such an agency,
which would have the right to appear before other
government groups that deal with consumer problems,
Mueller said. Thone said he is opposed to this because he
thinks "it will add one more layer to government
bureaucracy."
Mueller said finding evidence for the study was not hard.
"Being in Washington, you can just get on the phone,"
he said. He said he contacted other congressmen and the
Library of Congress. He added that congressmen work
together, even if their views differ, because . "everyone
I - r Vv I I ; I
wants to know what's going on and get all the facts of the
matter."
Applications
The students became involved in the five-year -old intern
program by submitting an application and resume to Thone
early this year. An interview followed and they were
informed of their acceptance in March.
The interns were chosen on scholarship, attitude and
activities, according to Thone. There were about 75
applicants for the jobs, he added.
Activities for the interns were planned and funds
regulated by the Bipartisan Intern Committee, composed of
majority and minority party leaders from the House and
Senate.
Mueller said Thone's interns earned $500 a month, but
some interns in other offices were volunteers.
Both Mueller and McCaw said costs of living are higher
in Washington than in Nebraska. Mueller said he shared a
one-bedroom furnished apartment with three other interns
at a cost of $140 each per month. McCaw lived with
another person who worked in Thone's office.
McCaw said she "has no desire to go into politics" but
she thinks the experience will help her in journalism, "just
seeing how the government system works." Mueller said he
has "political aspirations" and plans to go to law school or
seminary.
A third intern, Mark Bertolini, was graduated from UNL
last spring and is now a student at Creighton Law School.
Nebraska ETV chief predicts 'best season ever'
Since its inception 12 years ago, the Nebraska
Educational Television Commission has worked for an
increase of instructional programming, according to Jack
McBride, director of television and general manager, NETV
Network.
And he predicts this season's 127 hours per week of
television instruction should make this "the best season of
Nebraska public television."
The commission, established in 1963 by the Nebraska
Legislature, is the authoritative and responsible
policymaker for the statewide ed-cational program
network, he said. :
Nine members
The commission is composed of nine members, seven of
whom are appointed by the governor and approved by the
Legislature. The other members are the president of the
University of Nebraska and the commissioner of education.

The present commission chairman is Philip Heckman,
president of Doane College in Crete, Neb.
McBride said the legal authority of NETV is the
commission, which grants licenses to the stations whose
transmitters handle NETV programming throughout the

state. In addition, McBride said, the commission is
responsible for program selection and guidelines used in
evaluation of scheduled programs.
SUN on TV
Among NETV programs will be State University of
Nebraska (SUN) courses. Instructions for the eight SUN
courses began Monday. SUN uses NETV, newspapers and
mailed instructional materials to bring secondary education
to people in their homes.
McBride said a $25,000 federally financed study to
determine the feasibility of a statewide public radio
network should be completed later this month.
In March the NETV commission authorized NETV to
accept the grant for the study.
Virginia firm
The commission hired Jansky and Bailey, a broadcasting
consulting firm from Alexandria, Va. to conduct the
technical study for $4,700. A subsidiary of Atlantic
Research Corporation, Jansky and Bailey, was the
consulting firm hired in the study that recommended
establishing the NETV network.
