UNL groups aid campaign
United Way needs $3,000 to reach goal
By Lorna Bradley
The United Way has raised $2,037,298
in its campaign that will end this month,
allocation director Cheryl Naber said.
About $3,000 is still needed to reach
the $2 ,040,000 goal.
The United Way campaign raises money
for 26 human service agencies in Lincoln
and Lancaster County.
Each spring, an allocations committee
made up of 60 community volunteers dis
cusses how much money is to be raised and
how it will be allocated, Naber said.

The volunteers are divided into six
teams, each with a labor representative,
an auditor an a planner Naber said. Each
team raises money for three or four of the
agencies she added.
Besides the allocation division, there are
3,000 other volunteers from the community
who solicit businesses for donations, Naber
said.
These volunteers also solicit unemploy
ed residents, she said.
UNL campaign
UNL is active in the campaign, and has a
core, group of 20 volunteers made up of
faculty and staff members, said Larry
Andrews, assistant . to the chancellor.
The group is organized by Don Pur
sell, director of the Bureau of Business
and' Research, he added.
Each volunteer is in charge of collecting
donations in approximately 20 buildings,
offices and departments, Andrews said.
Their goal is to recruit additional
volunteers in each department as well as
collecting donations, he added.
Andrews said that the volunteers ask
other staff and faculty members for
donations. If a student wishes to make a
donation, he or she can make it directly to
United Way , he added .
By signing a form, businesses have the
donations withheld from their employees'
paychecks once a month, Naber said.
Businesses may withhold as much as
they want. But the suggested guideline is
one percent annually for an income over
$10,000 and six-tenths of one percent for
an income under $10,000, she added.
Andrews said the university has no
suggested guidelines and that the donations
do not have to be payroll deductions.
Money for Y-Pals
The money that is donated is used to
expand programs such as the YMCA's
Y-Pal program, Naber said.
There are no fund raising activities
planned besides the solicitation, she said.
Having fund raising activities doesn't
produce as much as the solicitation,
Andrews said. That's why the campaign
is restricted to one month in the fall, he
said.
UNL fraternities and sororities often
have fund-raisers throughout the year in
which part of the money collected is
donated to United Way, Andrews said.
Naber said that residents who call in
suggestions or disagree on where the
money is being allocated, are often asked
to become a volunteer or join the alloca
tion committee.
These volunteers spend a month work
ing for the United Fund campaign, she
said.
Because of the large number of people
dedicating their time to the campaign, the
overhead cost goes down, Andrews said.
He added that any dedicated person
adds to the success of an organization.
Andrews said that in the past few years,
the number of people donating to the
United Fund has declined. But those who
have donated, are giving more, he said.
