Alumni pledge support
Foundation draws foreign gifts
By Betsy Miller
UNL alumni from Japan, India, Canada, Australia and
the pPanama Canal Zone have set contributions to the NU
Foundation this year, according to Foundation Treasurer
Herb Potter.
Laxhmi N. Sharma of New Dehli, India, and a 1976
UNL graduate, recently pledged to contribute at least
1 percent of his annual salary to the university for the rest
of jis life said Foundation President D.b. Varner.
"Thats really pretty dramatic, Varner said.
Varner said the pledge was significant because it sym.
bolized how grateful Sharma was for the education he
received at UNL
Potter said that although a rather small percentage of
foreign graduates contribute to the university annually,
it is still impressive that alumni from far away make the
effort to contribute.
Pledges from foreign alumni are usually given to the
Foundation in their country's coinage Potter said.
Nebraska Alumni Association Executive Association
Vice President Jack Miller said that the association has
current addresses for 1, 154 alumni in foreign countries.
Hot tub set for completion soon
Installation of a hot tub
for Abel-Sandoz residents
is expected to be complet
ed in October or Novem
ber, an Abel Hall student
official said.
Marci Hagerty, Abel
Hall president of the Abel
Sandoz Residence Associa
tion, said the hot tub was
purchased with funds Abel
Sandoz received from the
housing department in
past years.
Ina Luehring, complex
program director, said the
tub will cost $1,784. Hag
erty estimated that with
installation charges, the bill
may total $4,000.
Hagerty said the suggest
ion for a hot tub came last
year when the association
was discussing how to
spend previous year's money.
Students suggested the
idea and it was approved
by Housing Director Doug
Zatecha.
Hagerty said the hot tub
will be available only to
Abel-Sandoz residents and
their guests, and will just
about complete the "Abel
Sandoz Health Club" with
its pool, sauna, weight room
and other facilities.

In addition to this total, 17 members live on Pacific
Islands, 43 live in either Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands,
and 485 have temporary foreign addredded according to
Miller.
Miller said members with temporary foreign addresses
are those who may work for the military or the state
department.
The NU Foundation is in the last year of a three
year fund raising plan called the Nebraska Campaign
according to Foundation Vice President Terry Fairfield.
The foundation sent out 900 letters to foreign addres
ses but approximately 300-400 may have been undeliver
able because of improper addresses Fairfield said.
"We wrote all alumni in all other countries and asked
if they wanted to contribute, Varner said.
Although Fairfield said foreign alumni get solicited
for Foundation funds only once a year, alums in the
U.S. are reached much more frequently.
In fact, NU ranks in the upper half of major universit
ies nationally in the area of receiving donations Varner
said.
Hie only way that UN alumni can get off the Uni
versity's mailing list is to die accordintg to Potter.
Varner theorized that if every UNL alumnus would
make the same pledge as Sharma, the university could
collect about a billion dollars annually.
