Sanders: Newscast
stories incomplete
Television newscasts do not provide enough infor
mation to inform viewers, CBS News correspondent
Marie ne Sanders said Wednesday at the Lincoln
Hilton Hotel V
Sanders was the featured speaker at the Third
Annual YVVCA Tribute to Women luncheon. '
At a pre-luncheon news conference, she said half
hour newscasts do not tell complete, stories, and
networks have cut back on in-depth documentaries.
She said it is frightening that people aren't read
ing newspapers, books and magazines to keep better
informed.
"We can't divorce ourselves from anything in the
world," Sanders said.
Sanders joined CBS News in 1978 as a correspon
dentproducer in the documentary area, and has
emce served as a principal correspondent for "CBS
Deports."
She was a correspondent and co-writer of several
"CCS Eepsrts" broadcasts. She won an Emmy for
"Nurse, Where Are You?" in 1C31, and two Emmys
fer "What Sha2 We Do About MciherT in 1C30.
She also won a Christopher Award for "How Much
for the Handicapped?, which she produced, wrote,
directed and Anchored." - . . ..
Sanders has received several journalism awards,
including the Broadcast Woman of the Year Award
from American Women ik Radio end Television in
1075.
'- At Wednesday's luncheon, "fix women were honor
ed as outstanding women in Lancaster County who
work in either salaried or volunteer positions. The
women honored were Sue Bailey, Beatty Drasch,
Mildred Katz, Patty Plonick, Iinda Robinson Rutz
and Kappie Weber. ; ;, . ;
The First National Bank of Lincoln was honored
for demonstrating a commitment to improving

Recent public hearings on the proposed reduc
tions of UNL's budget were effective in getting
responses from students and faculty, said the
chairpersons of the two committees sponsoring the
hearings.
"We absolutely had to have these hearings," said
Larry Lusk, who headed the Academic Planning
Committee. "I was quite pleased People were ex
tremely cooperative with the whole process."
Lusk said about 75 people spoke at the APC hear
ings from Novr 5 to Nov. lO.These hearings dealt
with proposed cuts in academic areas. All testimony
was recorded and later printed in transcripts se
parated according to the different programs with
which they dealt
The APC also accepted large numbers of docu
ments and papers which, along with the transcripts,
give committee members a "staggering" amount of
material to consider, Lusk said.
Most of the people at the hearings were opposed
to the proposed cuts and presented their opinions
well, he said.
"At times it was downright heartwarming to hear
how some people feel about their programs," he
said.
The APC is considering the reallocation recom
mendations this week and will submit its conclu
sions to UNL Chancellor Martin Massengale before
Thanksgiving, Lusk said.
The Support Evaluation Committee also has con
cluded its hearings and will meet this week to con
sider the testimony it received, said Viann Schroeder,
the committee's chairperson.
This committee heard testimony on proposed
cuts in student affairs and business and finance.
r."We got a good response from major presenters,
those who were directly affected," she said. "But I
was a little disappointed in the lack of numbers of
people : . who are not directly involved."
Schroeder said only six people who were not
scheduled presenters spoke at the SEC hearings.
Among these were representatives from ASUN and
the International Student Association.
The SEC will forward its proposals to the chancel
lor Friday, Schroeder said.
Massengale will meet with the NU Board of
Regents in December with his proposals for budget
reallocations.

informative and useful," but he said he sensed the
men in the room felt pressured and as if they were
accused of being sexual offenders.
