The United Way of Lincoln and
Lancaster County is behind this year in its
campaign drive.
According to Larry Milliken, campaign
associate and communications director,
United Way has raised $1,752,597.47 in
1978, which is 94.6 percent of its
$1,853,500 goal.
Milliken said this year's goal is an 8.2
percent increase over last year's total, and
by the year's end United Way will show
about a five percent increase over last
year's total amount raised.
The reason for not reaching its goal was
difficult to explain, Milliken said, but it
was probably due to the state of the econ
omy. Money raised through United Way goes
to 24 local agencies in Lincoln and Lan
caster County, Milliken said. These agen
cies are grouped into four classifications:
individual and family services, health and
rehabilitation services, emergency,
community and educational services, and
youth development and adult enrichment.
Share funds
Milliken said some of these agencies
receive all of their funding through United
Way, while most others receive local, state
and federal funding as well.
United Way receives all its funds
through contributions from places of
employment with no door-to-door soli
citation. Milliken said United Way gets
employee groups together and shows them
a locally produced film on the agency.
United Way is composed of four divi
sions, Milliken said. The campaign division
is in charge of the fund-raising United Way
does.
The planning division, composed of 30
members, provides an ongoing evaluation
of the agencies United Way funds. It also
surveys the needs of the community to
decide what programs will meet these
needs, Milliken said.
Distributing decisions
The 45-member allocations division is
responsible for deciding how the money
raised should be distributed among the 24
agencies. The allocations division also de
cides, along with the campaign division,
how much money they think can be raised
in the upcoming year.
The volunteer bureau, according to
Milliken, watches over the placement of
volunteers in human service agencies fin
anced by United Way.
Milliken said that local divisions of the
United Way operate on their own. The
national United Way organization is used
for consultation and supplies publications.
United Way was founded in Lincoln in
1923 as the Community Chest. The agency
has gone through many name changes
throughout its history, Milliken said.
In May 1976 the name United Way was
adopted because it was easily recognizable
on a national level.
Committee discusses guidelines
The Committee for Fees Allocation,
formerly the Fees Allocation Board spent
Tuesday night's meeting reorganizing and
setting up new guidelines.
The FAB was disbanded last summer
and now approval for student funding must
go through ASUN before being submitted
to the vice chancellor for student affairs
and finally to the Regents.
Although no formal action was taken at
the meeting, Chairman Kent Whitacre
assigned committee members to audit
student organizations. Formerly, student
organizations gave reports of their spending
to the FAB.
The committee discussed guidelines for
conducting their audits, and is keeping
those set up by the FAB.
The committee worked on their new
criteria and on developing new bylaws.
With minor exceptions, the committee
plans to use those criteria and bylaws set
up by the old FAB.
A final vote on the guidelines for
auditing the new CFA bylaws is expected
at a future meeting.
Whitacre presented the deadlines stu
dent organizations must meet for funding.
The dates include a Dec. 15 deadline for
the committee members to have completed
their audit, and a Jan. 15 for the organiza
tions to submit their requests for next
year's funds.
The CFA will draw up recommenda
tions from those requests and submit it to
ASUN. It then goes to the vice chancellor
for student affairs and to the Regents for
final approval in April.
