A group of 80 UNL students are investing in the
future.
They are not working manipulativcly with stocks
and bonds, instead they are helping to share
children.
These students are counselors for the Nebraska
Human Resources Research Foundation, a private
non-profit research laboratory designed to develop
human leadership. Each counselor la matched with
a school-age child who he will help in developing
good leadership qualities.
Dave Ditman, associate director of the founda
tion, described the counselors' participation as an
"investment-reinvestment process." The counselors
invest their leadership qualities in the children in
the hope that the children will then re-invest these
qualities in their peers, he said.
The return on the counselors' investment may
come in various forms. Cal Strong, a UNL junior
business major, said the program has made him
aware of relationships and how4o deal with them.
Mike Larsen, a senior accounting major, said his
reward is watching the child grow, even though the
results may not be evident until hb counselee is in
college or working. Larsen also said the program has
challenged him to be the very best he can be.
The counselors are also rewarded when their
counselees begin using their leadership ability. Shari
Olsen, a junior majoring in elementary education,
said she felt successful when her counselee
defended a girl that some of her friends were talking
about.
Todd Kelley, a senior marketing major, said he
thought that hi3 eleven-year counselee was begin
ning to use his leadership ability when he suggested
activities for the foundation's retreats.
The counselors usually meet with their counse
lees once a week. They may go out to eat, see a movie,
attend a football game, go for ice cream or have a
picni.
"It doesn't matter what we do, it's the quality cf
the time we spend together," Olsen said.
Strong said he encourages his counselee to call
him to talk about anything that's bothering him. He
said his counselee recently asked his advice on how
to ask a girl for a date. Kelley said he helps his
counselee with math.
The foundation, located at 501 N. 10th St, con
sists of seven projects, including PALS, which works
with the physically handicapped, and a program
with the Nebraska School for the Visually Handi
capped in Nebraska City.

Counselors in the Family project develop rela
tions between children in large families.
The Lakeview Elementary School project grew
out of concerns that the children there were not
receiving individual attention.
The foundation formed the Leadership Develop
ment project in response to an increase in the dro

MOSCOW Heavy rainfall has severely dis
rupted the closing stages of the Soviet grain

Mian trip not affected
WASHINGTON The deaths of top South
Korean officials in a bomb blast in Burma left
U.S. officials shocked and saddened Monday,
but a White House spokesman said it would
not affect President Reagan's plan to visit
South Korea and Japan next month. However,
the apparent attempt to kill South Korean
President Chun Doo-hwan, who escaped the
explosion because he arrived late for a cerem
ony at the Martyr's Mausoleum in Rangoon,
was expected to heighten security concerns
among Reagan's trip planners.
The bombing has the second act of violence
to hit a nation scheduled to be visited by Rea
gan on an Asian trip in November. The first was
the assassination of Benigno Aquino in Manila
on Aug. 25. Reagan later canceled planned vis-
its to the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand,
citing official duties in Washington.
