Roskens speech opens
United Way campaign
at Thursday luncheon
By Patty Pryor
"The United Way ought to be up front in the hearts
and minds of the people in Lincoln" NU President
Ronald Roskens said, in opening the United Way general
campaign Thursday.
Roskens, guest speaker at the United Way of Lincoln
and Lancaster County campaign kick-off luncheon, said
the private sector must become increasingly responsible
for the costs of social growth.
"The creation of our laws 200 years ago guaranteed
equality of opportunity, and our founding fathers placed
the emphasis on the private sector in meeting this need,"
Roskens said.
The country is now having a revolution, Roskens said,
in which there is less relaince on the government and more
dependence on private responsibility.
With federal funds for social programs dwindling, he
said, the importance of providing for ourselves and for
our neighbors in need is growing.
The voluntary nature of funding from the private
sector is equally important, Roskens said.
"There are no laws forcing us to give, or governing how
much we give," he said, "but there is a rule, and that rule
is our conscience.
"Even though you and I will never know which people
or which agencies benefitted because we cared, there are
28 agencies depending on our deeds and not our words."
Roskens has served as divisional campaign chairman at
the city and county levels, and as vice president for bud
get and allocations of the United Way in Omaha.
The goal of the 60-day United Way campaign is
$2,176,452, said Karl E. Dickinson, general campaign
chairman.
Dickinson agreed with Roskens' emphasis on the priv
ate sector.

"We can no longer rely on the federal government
to pay for necessary services," he said.
"Lincoln has a long tradition of taking care of its own,
and the United Way exemplifies that tradition," Dickin
son said.
