Dr. Ian Newman
A former staff member of the World Health Organiza
tion, Dr. Ian Newman , associate professor and Chairman
of Health, Physical Education and Recreation at UNL,
occupied a post this past month as a WHO consultant to
the Philippines.
Newman said he aided the Philippine government in
setting up a training program for community health edu
cators. He said he worked with the Ministry of Health
there in assessing resources as well as setting up mechan
isms to improve the programs.
The WHO is a technical advisory agency of the United
Nations. It sends people with technical health information
to parts of the world needing assistance in establishing
health programs. These countries are then responsible foi
perpetuating the programs.
"A government must first request the WHO's
assistance," Newman said.
Newman served on the staff of the WHO in New
Delhi, India for two years before coming to UNL. In that
capacity, Newman was a technical adviser to countries
requesting assistance.
Assignments took him to Sri Lanka, Thailand and
Napal and lasted anywhere from six weeks to three
months.
"People changing their behavior was a big contribution
to the success of the programs." Newman said.
"Officials must see present problems in order to see
ways to change."
Diverse health problems were encountered in these
countries. Newman helped establish educational programs
concerned with family planning, respiratory diseases and
leprosy.
Subsequent consultative trips depend on his avail
ably and the WHO's need and schedule, he said.
Newman said the WHO inquired about his availability
in November, and the trip was confirmed a week before
he was to leave.
Fees committee delays ASUN, student paper requests
By Bob Lannin
Budget requests for ASUN and the Daily Nebraskan
were heard at Tuesday night's Committee for Fees
Allocation meeting.
The committee decided not to make any tentative
budget recommendations until the Union Program
Council budget is received.
Tentative budget recommendations will be made in
two weeks, when all budget requests can be considered.
ASUN President Ken Marienau presented his request
for $39,502. Marienau said the major increase in the
ASUN request was in communications.
The communications budgeting is for advertising and
publicity of ASUN activities such as senate programs, the

Government Liaison Committe, and the Credit Union.
Committee member Brian Dunbar moved to allocate
$39,502 to ASUN, but the motion was tabled to allow
time to consider other budget requests.
Budget request questioned
Business Manager Jerri Haussler presented the Daily
Nebraskan request for $38,241. Committee member
Rocky Yapp questioned budgeting of $3,210 for staff
benefits which includes insurance for the staff and budget
ing for two staff parties.
Yapp said the high salaries for Daily Nebraskan
editorial staff were a point of much criticism and wanted
a justification for these salaries. Haussler said some of
the best employees had been lost to other publications

which offer higher salaries for part-time staff.
Dunbar said he couldn't see the correlation in pay be
tween Daily Nebraskan staff and ASUN executives salar
ies. ASUN President Ken Marienau receives $160 a month
for eight months, while the two vice presidents receive
$140 a month.
Salary range
Daily Nebraskan editorial salaries range from $450 a
month for the Editor-in-Chief to $55 a month for part
time reporters.
Haussler said she thought this was comparable with
editorial staff salaries at other universities.
Haussler said the proposed five day publishing would
help cut costs in the long run and might help to cut next
year's budget request.
Yapp moved that action on the Daily Nebraskan re
quest be delayed until a later date when all the budget
requests could be considered.
A $34,500 allocation for the International Education
Service was moved by committee member Doug Brenner.
IES requested $35,000 in funding.
The request was again tabled by the committee until
all budgets could be considered.
The Department of Recreation presented a request to
have the $2 facility fee returned to the Recreation Depart
ment. The fee was taken away from the department at the
end of the second semester last year to improve the
budget situations in the Nebraska Union and Health
Center.
