Mew films promote life
on NXPs three campuse
Daily Nebraskan
By Molly Adams
Staff Reporter
Thanks to the help of a 1984 dona
tion from the NU Foundation, some NU
faculty, students and parents are the
film stars the university has always
meant them to be, an NU official says.
Joe Rowson, director of public affairs,
said a short film, which gives a general
overview of life on NU's three cam
puses, is something "administrators
and regents have wanted for some
time," but never had enough money to
produce.
The 23-minute film isn't "loaded
with facts and figures," Rowson said,
but shows highlights of UNL, UNO and
the NU Medical Center in Omaha.
The film will be available for presen
tation to alumni, rotary clubs and other
groups who might be interested in get
ting a quick overview of what NU is all
about, he said.
In addition, each campus produced
a five- to seven-minute film that illus
trates each campus. These films are
more factual and will be used for
recruiting purposes, Rowson said.
The films were produced by Burton
Buller of Buller Films, Inc. of Henderson.
"I give credit to the university for
realizing that the medium of film has
great potential for enhancing their
promotion," Buller said.
Buller has produced more than 30
films since 1970. His work includes
films for relief and development agen
cies and his most successful film is a
feature about the Amish people who
live in Pennsylvania. That film.was
produced for and presented on CBS'
"60 Minutes."

The Cornhusker profits
without national name
By Jen Deselms
Staff Reporter
Contrary to rumors that The Corn
husker hotel is losing money, the down
town hotel has made an operational
profit since it's opening, and the man
agement is pleased with sales, said
Daniel Howery, operations manager.
Howery said it was harder to get busi
ness during-the first year of operation
because The Cornhusker is not part of a
chain and had no national exposure.
By the second year, he said, The
Cornhusker had earned a reputation of
good service. Word-of-mouth and adver
tising helped bring in customers, he
said.
When The Cornhusker opened in
December 1983, room rates were $68
for a single room and $78 for a double,
Howery said. To compete with chain
hotels in the conservative Nebraska
market, The Cornhusker lowered its
rates to $60 for a single and $70 for a
double.
The Cornhusker is primarily a con
vention and conference hotel, Howery
said, so peaks and valleys occur in bus
iness. During slow periods, The Corn
husker has offered- special room rates
to increase occupancy.
To improve business this summer,
the hotel offered a "summertime
cooler" special ) $39 a room for single
or double, occupancy.
Howery said the hotel will offer a
similar special during the holiday sea
son, but no rate has been set yet.
The main problem in competing
with chain hotels is the national reser
vation system chains use, he said.
To gain the national recognition that
benefits a member of a hotel chain, The
Cornhusker is represented by Lowes
Reservations International. LRI places
ads in corporate trade magazines to
generate business for its clients.
Howery said Lincoln is ideal for con
ferences because it's centrally located,
safe and clean and the skywalk system
in downtown Lincoln makes shopping
easy in bad weather.
