Home Ec. ch
ief sees misconceptions
By Bctae Ammons
. Home Economics is "a dynamic field in
tune with what is taking place in society,"
according to Gwendolyn New kirk, newly
elected president of the American Home
Economics Association (AHEA).
Newkirk, chairwoman and professor of
UNL's Education and Family Resources
Dept., said she thinks it is "somewhat of
a public misconception" that home eco
nomics is "just cooking and sewing."
She cited a study made for AHEA by
a national research firm which showed
what she called "polarization" of public
opinion on home economics. An equal
NU Foundation beneficiary of estate
number of those surveyed either viewed
hnm economics in what she termed the
"traditional stereotyped role" (cooking
and sewing) and had no understanding of
the profession, or understood the purpose
of home economics.
The AHEA, an organization for profes
sional home economists, tries to improve
the identity of the home economics field,
Newkirk said.
The original focus of the profession was
on "man and his environment and his
nature as a social being," she said.
Newkirk said the AHEA programs in

As president of AHEA, Newkirk said
her duties will be represent the associa
tion in any capacity."
She said that presidents serve as
president-elect for a year before assuming
duties. She said she previously was treasur
er and vice president of program develop
ment for the association. .
Newkirk said her election could benefit
"any time any member of a university stall
gets national recognition it improves its
academic climate and shows that the uni
versity does have persons in Us body who
are recognized by their peers."

The NU Foundation will receive
approximately $339,000 'this year for
scholarships and research as the beneficiary
of a $3 J million residual estate, Chancel
lor James Zumberge announced Saturday
at the NU Board of Regents meeting.
. Adrian David, a 1908 UNL law college
graduate, died in 1973, leaving the John
C. and Nettie V. David Memorial Trust,
named in honor of David's parents, past
Lincoln residents.
A $200,000 annual income is expected
from the trust, Zumberge said.
One-half of the yearly income will be
used to establish David scholarships, Zum
berge said, which will go to academically
top-ranked high-school seniors from
Nebraska who attend UNL These David
scholarships will be selected each spring,
beginning in 1976, by UNL's Scholarships
and Financial Aids Committee.
The money also will provide scholar
ships for high-ranking upperclassmen, sup
port scholastic programs of the faculty,
and provide funds for an annual David
Memorial Lecture, Zumberge said.
He said the annual lecture probably will
be given each spring in conjunction with.
Ivy Day, when UNL traditionally honors
top-ranking students.
Calling the trust "one of the great
est things that has happened in my four
years here," Zumberge said the bequest
was the largest ever received by the
university. "
