the School of Journalism.
Continued from p.l
Crumley said members of the critical
group believe poverty is a condition of life
understood by the public.
, Women in a third group, the "dis
couraged group," believe poverty is mis
understood and the public looks down on
those on welfare, Crumley said.
Crumley cited responses by women in
this group-"Why don't we work? No
opportunities, discriminations. They look
at the color of your skin. Jobs might not
be available."
One mother said, "Most people associ
ate poverty with being drunk, dirty and
hatching out a kid every five minutes
not worrying about what happens. They do
if they haven't been there themselves at
some time." "
Women in a fourth group believe all
poor people should accept poverty,
Crumley said. ..
One "accepting group" member said "I
don't know which it is really, whether they
want too much or they just don't enjoy
what they have. I don't know."
Crumley said the accepting spirit of this
group is typified in one mother's com
ment: '"While it used to be that to be on
welfare was a shameful thing, people don't
look down their noses at welfare people
any more. What's to be ashamed of?"
Members of the "special circumstances"
group said they were hot ashamed to re
ceive welfare because of special circum
stances other than being poor.
Women in this fifth group emphasized
that the public should take a more under
standing view of poverty by looking more
carefully at the reasons for receiving wel
fare, Crumley said.
'Teople don't know what poverty is'
who haven't been there," one "special cir
cumstance" group member said. ' ,
Crumley said the study indicates that if
, the poor shared common opinions, atti
tudes and values, such , findings would be
impossible. -H,;,Vrt: jV;TJ .fjm .;;
She said .only; three groups, expressed
similar opinions about the sample state
ments, including "We've got to recognize
that much more money will have to be
spent to wipe out the poverty conditions
that breed crime, alcoholism and illegiti
macy." It's embarrassing especially for
children to wear something someone else
has worn to school," and "Layaways help
you live within your means when you
live a hand-to-mouth existence."
Crumley said the study showed that if'
home economists and other professionals
who contact welfare families are to make
an impact on their audiences, a more
sophisticated understanding of the process
es of mass communication is needed.
Nebraska, Nil compete for solar energy Institute
A national solar energy research
institute being sought by many state
governments would bring great economic
advantages to Nebraskans, according to Lt.
Gov. Gerald Wheian.
Last summer Wheian and NU Presi
dent D.B. Vamer traveled to Washington
D.C. to investigate the possibilities oi
establishing such an institute, to be spon
sored by the Energy Research Develop
mental Agency (ERDA), in Nebraska.
Wheian said that although the criteria
for the institute will not be announced un
til the end of this month, he has high
hopes. But he added that the state will be
competing against such strong' academic
communities as Stanford University in
California and the states of Texas, Maine,
and Arizona.
Wheian said Nebraska's chances have im
proved among the 200 applicants because
of recent agricultural studies done in Ne
braska such as converting wastes.
Joint application
Even though the institute would not be
a university program, a joint application
was filed on behalf of the state and
university. ,
The institute, Wheian said, would
provide for an annual research budget of
between $15 million and $50 million. It
would be involved not only in solar energy
research, but in wind energy research as
well, he said. 1
An energy site of this kind, would
advance the economy of the state, and its
intellectual and cultural aspects, he said.
' "We have one leg up on many of the
applicants because of our all-Republican
delegation in Congress," Wheian said.
White House decision
Don Edwards, UNL associate dean of
engineering and technology and crew chief
for the application, said ERDA will narrow
the list of original applicants, first to 40,
then to 4, and an ERDA team will visit
those five sites. The decision will be made
at the White House. .
Edwards, who will visit the capital this
week to receive the criteria, said the in
stitute once was a ''wild dream" for Ne
braska, but now he is receiving help and
encouragement from the government.
"What are exotics today could be reality
tomorrow," said Edwards of Nebraska's
solar energy resources.
Involving the "economics of energy,"
Whlean said that instead of paying the
Arabs for fuel, an economic boost could
substantiate with the development of solar
and wind energy resources. ' -v..- i
The site of the research institute could
be selected July L
Edwards said "prestige and spinoffs in
the way of an advanced economy will
come to the recipient of the institute."

Till GUAED A RESERVE
Lincoln volunteer opportunities and the
philosophy of volunteerism will be dis
cussed at a Community Volunteer Orien
tation, 7:30 pjm. Tuesday on the fifth
floor of the Lincoln Center Bldg.
Coordinators of three Community
Involvement Services-UNL, the Volunteer
Bureau of Lincoln and the Retired Senior
Volunteer Program said they hope to offer
a more thorough presentation by making
the orientation a cooperative effort.
"Two orientation objectives are to
motivate people and to promote profes
sionalism and awareness of volunteer
administrators," said CIS coordinator Mary
Dean.
Panel discussion topics include rights
and responsibilities, expectations, trends,
confidentiality and job descriptions of
volunteerism, Dean said.
