Campus United Way meets
its $70,000 donation goal
By Maureen Costello
The UNL campus-wide United Way has
met its first goal to rrise $70,000, accord
ing to Don Pursell, UNL director of busi
ness research and campus organizer.
"Most of the collecting was done by the
end of October, but with the faculty as
large as it is, there are still contributions
coming in," Pursell said.
Pursell said UNL has surpassed its first
goal, but won't know if its second goal to
involve 60 percent of UNL faculty and
staff has been met until the United Way
office counts the collections.
"I think the 60 percent should be high
er. We could be 90 to 100 percent if every
one gave one dollar," Pursell said.
UNL's goals were set by historical
records, knowledge of what has happened
to faculty and staff salaries, and the needs
of the campaign, Pursell said.
The money collected for the United
Way distributed to a number of com
munv agencies, he said. The money and
time Miated to the United Way "is based
on t! idea that the effort you put in will
be i rued to you because the community
will be a better place and everyone will be
better off," Pursell said.
In 1979 the United Way distributed
total of $1,843, 937, according to the
1979 annual report of the United Way of
Lincoln and Lancaster County, The five
agencies receiving the most money in
1979 according to the annual report were
American Red Cross, Family Service Asso
ciation, YMCA. YWCA and the Child
Guidance Center.
There were about 150 volunteers from
UNL this year and one volunteer for each
college. Volunteers recruit others from
each department in the college, and that
person contacts everyone in the depart
ment. "Personal contacts were stressed. We
didn't want packets simply being sent
through the mail." Pursell said.
"We had really good volunteers. We
made our first goal because they checked
their lists ami made their contacts." he
said.
Pursell said he thought the weakness of
the UNL program is getting students in
volved. "I know students are on limited bud
gets, but they should at least be asked if
they would like to contribute. Students
may only live in Lincoln for lour years
but they are still part of the community,"
he said. "I would like to see student organ
izations work with us in the future."
