friday, October 9, 1981 daily nebraskan page 9 THE GIFT OF MUSIC FOR ALL OCCASIONS SPECIALLY PRICED BLOCKBUSTERS! A Outsiders appointed to make inside study of cancer institution Three internationally known scientists were appointed to review the Eppley Cancer Institute in Omaha. The team was to contribute ideas about the future of the institute, including better use of existing facilities and an increase in useful studies on cancer research, said Dr. David Purtilo, pathology professor and chairman of the committee who appointed the team. "It's always useful to get an outsider's opinion," he said. "It's very common to get consultants who may have insights into opportunities that we might have missed." The team arrived in Omaha last Sunday. Purtilo said, and concluded its review on Tuesday. However, the team's report will not be released for another two weeks, he added. Purtilo said there were limitations in choosing the team, but the three members chosen represented a balance of varying views. A review team was appointed last year too, but action was blocked by former director Philippe Shubik. One member from that team was also a participant in the rec ent review, but the other two previous members were unavailable, Purtilo said. The committee that appointed the three-man team is also looking for a replacement for Shubik. "Many people will have various ideas about what will be best for the institute," Purtilo said. "We're just looking for a direction to do what's ultimately best." The members of the review team are: Dr. Louis Simin ovich of the University of Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, Dr. George Martin of the University of Wash ington in Seattle and Dr. Lee Wattenberg of the University of Minnesota Pathology Department. Videotape library generates profits By Tom Shelton The Great Plains Nation al Instructional Library (GPN), a major distributor of recorded videotape in structional programs, has enjoyed considerable growth since its beginning as a pilot program of the feder al government, said Paul Schupbach, GPN director. The organization began operating in February of 1962, and received federal aid its first three years. Now GPN receives enough reve nue through the sale of vide otape materials that it can support itself, Schupbach said. The non-profit organiza tion sells more than $1 mil lion worth of videotape ma terials annually, Schupbach said. GPN is a service agency of UNL, and Schuback said its purpose is to "identify quality programs so we can distribute them to other institutions so they can use them." Schuback said GPN uses its revenues to pay royal ties to the producers of ma terial it distributes, to re produce and manufacture videotapes and to. operate its facilities it uses. Schupbach said GPN dis tributes materials believed to be quality programs of education. He said GPN dis tributes video-recorded ma terials to learning institu tions where needed to save them the trouble of having to produce the tapes them selves. Although mainly a dis tributor of video tapes, Schupback said GPN has produced some original ma terial for distribution. He mentioned two original ser ies, one involving children's mental health, and one de scribing proper television use in classrooms. Schupbach said GPN has gone international by receiv ing and distributing material to and from other countries. Schupbach said GPN dis tributes videotapes to state education departments, schools from elementary to postgraduate levels and to public television stations. .MCA REC0RD5 1 La HM 1 .1 l'-?5gr. f"TT5!!!TT!!5m 1 .
