Between 1 ,500 and 2,000 volun
teers, including UNL students,
will trek Lancaster County Sun
day to raise funds for mentally
retarded citizens.
The volunteers will sell "squeeze
bears" filled with honey door to
door on Honey Sunday.
The 21st annual event is spon
sored by the Association of
Retarded Citizens, a non-profit
advocacy group with national
headquarters in Texas and a net
work of state and local organiza
tions throughout the United
States.
Duane Knuth, of ARC-Neb-raska,
said Honey Sunday origi
nated in Grand Island as a joint
effort of the local ARC and Jay
cees. Soon after, several other
ARCs and Jaycees from through
out the state joined the effort. It

Group supports, motivates jobless

Amidst the recent growth of
support groups alcohol and
drug support groups, abuse sup
port groups, elderly people sup
port groups yet another has
emerged under the guidance of
Bridget Nifoussi, a UNL student.
The Job Search Support Group,
which held its first meeting Thurs
day at the YWCA, is the result of
an idea to help people searching
for jobs from Nifoussi and Cindy
Kaliff, an intern at the New Direc
tion Center.
The idea was formed when
Nifoussi, currently unemployed,
went to a recent job fair, spon
sored by the YWCA and Lincoln
Lancaster Country Commission
on the Status of Women and the
YWCA
"What these people need is
emotional support after job ap
plications," Niffousi said. There
fore, the goal of the Job Search
Support Group is "not necessar
ily to find jobs, but to help people
keep up their enthusiasm and
drive to seek employment or bet
ter employment. It's hard to get
motivated on your own when
you're bummed out about three
or four rejections."
The format of the first support

1931.
The addition, set to be com
pleted in June 1G86, Is not an
expansion of warehousing or
manufacturing space. Lavin said
the new addition will house labora
tories, sales and marketing of
fices and an employee training
center.
Dorsey currently employs 390
people with an annual payroll of
$11.4 million. Lavin said the
improved business conditions
developed by the expansion will
create about 250 new jobs by
1989. '

of ARC.
ARC now has taken full respon
sibility for the project, though
some Jaycees participate on local
leveb.
Knuth said Honey Sunday sales
during the last five to six years
have averaged about 100,000
bottles of honey sold annually
statewide. The state ARC buys
the honey at less expensive bulk
rates and sells it to local ARCs.
The local ARCs sell a 12-ounce
"squeeze bear" for $2.
Sales are contingent on
the number of volunteers and the
weather.
"Weather is probably the big
gest deciding factor as to the suc
cess of Honey Sunday," Knuth
said.
He said the ideal selling day
would be overcast and cool - on
the verge of rain, but not raining.
A warm, sunny day would attract
meeting was to find out how the
group "would like to learn to cope
with stress and strain" on the job,
during interviews, and accep
ting job rejections.
People at the meeting include
college dropouts, housewives,
students finishing either their
bachelor degree or their masters
and unemployed journalism grad
uates. They provided each other
with job leads, hints for inter
viewing, brainstorms, and tips on

Lavin said Dorsey, maker of
Triaminic cough syrups and
marketer of Eclipse sunscreens,
is introducing Dorcol Pediatric
Formulas. The new product line
includes the Dorcol Children's
Cough Syryp, marketed since 1963,
and four new medications
designed for children from ages 2
to 6.
In 1983, Dorsey's sales of more
than $60 million surpassed the
makers of Dristan, Comtrex and
Contac, making Dorsey the fifth
leading manufacturer of cough
and cold products in the nation.
Gov. Bob Kerrey and Lincoln
Mayor Roland Luedtke congratu-
retarded
volunteer sellers, but would draw
people away from their homes.
Volunteers are the mainstay of
Honey Sunday. Elaine Rod, pro
gram director of ARC-Capital, said
Lancaster County's volunteers
come from various community
organizations, including the Boy
Scouts, Cub Scouts, some church
groups, the Jaycees, Junior
Achievement groups and men and
women from UNL's fraternities
and sororities. Rod said the volun
teers from the fraternities and
sororities are "very important" to
the Honey Sunday effort, com
prising about half of the county's
volunteers.
Proceeds stay in the county to
help finance programs for retard
ed citizens. They include:
A Crisis intervention program.
A Pilot-parenting program.
Legislative activities.
A program that arranges vaca
tion trips for retarded people.
General advocacy work.
how to get to the "right" person to
talk to for a job.
The participants blamed the
poor economy as a reason for
their unemployment. Others said
they were burned out from pre
vious job experiences while still
others said they believed the
reason they don't have jobs is
that they are women or uneducat
ed. The group will meet every Thurs
day at 5:30 p.m. at the YWCA. For
