Proposal g
iye ga discount to Lincolli carpooler
Most gas stations, however, do not see the need to offer
gas at a discount because business is good, he said.
The time will comfe, he said, when there will be plenty of
gas and service stations will wish they had more public
support.
He also hinted that he had a hard time convincing
his) father and brother, partners in the company, to go
along with the idea. , , ,
"We are in the business of making money not to support
ideas that will benefit the community," he said.
Salem said he does not expect to make or lose money on
the proposition. All he wants to do is to show support for
the carpooling policy. "
Maly said she hopes to have all the problems worked out
so the program can begin Aug. 1.
i Lincoln car poolers may be able to buy gas at a discount
according to a proposal from an .oil company represent
'Utlve. ' :
V Dick Salem, .secretary and treasurer for the Salem Oil
Company in Lincoln is proposing a plan to Shirley Maly,
Lincoln's coordinator for the car poolvan pool program
which would allow car poolers to receive a two or three
cent per gallon discount when they fill up, Maly said.
Before the program can begin, problems such as how to
identify car poolers and the exact discount must be worked
out, she said. V '
The discount would be available for Lincoln car poolers
as well as those who live in outlying areas but car pool to
Lincoln, she said. Presently 1081 car poolers have
registered with the Lincoln car poolvan pool office.
However, Salem said, good intentions are not enough to
boost a program like this. He said he has had a hard time
getting gas stations to agree to the proposals.
Salem Oil Company owns one service station and sup
plies fuel for eight privately owned area stations.
Discounting gas to car poolers would require the
cooperation of the fuel suplier as well as the service station
owner, he said. Tentative plans call for service stations to
cut gas prices to carpoolers by the same amount Salem Oil
would discount gas to the service station.

capital gifts campaign.
The pledge is part of the Nebraska Bankers
Association's overall effort to raise a minimum goal of $2.5
million from member banks.
President Ronald W. Roskens of the University of
Nebraska said it is most appropriate for Fremont National
Bank and Trust Company to be among the leaders in the
program.
"Fremont National Bank and Trust Company was
established in 1871, the year that the University of
Nebraska opened it doors to its first students, and has
always been a strong supporter of education through gifts
and scholarships in the Fremont community and the State
of Nebraska."
Thomas J. Milliken, president of Fremont National Bank
and Trust Company, said the gift will be designated for the
entire University sysatem and will, become a part of an
unrestricted endowment fund. Income from the fund will
te awarded each year by a special advisory committee con
sisting of state bankers and University administrators.
Milliken said the fund will be an immediate benefit to the
the governing council of the Bankers Association, "and our
bank's pledge is intended to be an incentive to other
banks in our region and in the State."
D.B. Varner, chairman of the Foundation board,
reported this week that the Foundation has now recorded
a total of $20.9 million in pledges and cast in the three-year
campaign, which will end in October, 1980.

Graduate students In 'the University of Nebraska
Lincoln's clinical training program will for the first time be
offered a specialty in rural mental health this fall as the
result of a $500,000 grant from the National Institute of
Mental Health.
Herbert Howe, director of the Psychology Department's
clinical training program, siad the NIMH grant will sup
port training of students in the rural1 mental health special
ty for five years. He said about half of the 10 students who
will enter the clinical training program this fall have in

A University of Nebraska-
Lincoln engineer says coal
might be the answer to the
diesel.
William E. Splinter,
chairman of the engineer
ing department in the UNL
Institute of Agriculture and
National Resources, says he
has been urging the move
and current diesel fuel shor
tages are making people
listen.
His idea is to use high
sulfur coal to produce
steam to turn a turbine
which will pump water.
Splinter says the sulfur,
instead of being released in
to the atmosphere, can be
recycled and used on the
cropland through the irriga

Howe said a rural mental health orientation would not
represent a radical change of direction for the clinical
training program in psychology. "We already have
students place in agencies around Lincoln which serve ex
clusively rural populations," he said. -
Next summer, however, students in the clinical training
program will also be placed in agencies farther from cam
pus, such as in North Platte, Kearney and Grand Island.
The NIMH grant 11 provide funds for student stipends to
cover travel and living expenses during that summer prac
ticums. It will also provide funds for an additional faculty
member to coordinate the rural mental health program
and to supervise students during their summer prac
ticums.'" v- !' .v '- , v it
Howe said the specialization in rural mental health will
be "an appropriate focus for a land grant university such as
UNL, located in a state where all but three of its 90 plus
counties are rural, and where 83 percent of the state's
population lives in rural areas."
