The NU Foundation has raised more
than $5.5 million in the past four
months for projects other than the Lied
Center for Performing Arts.
Foundation Executive Vice President
Edward Hirsch said the foundation has
received money to finance four major
projects.
An ETV Challenge Grant is one of
those fund-raisers. The foundation must
raise $ 1 .5 million to reach a 3 to-1 ratio
of the $500,000 Challenge Grant award
ed to KU0N-TV, the originating station
of the Nebraska ETV network. The
foundation must raise the money by
Dec. 31, 1986, to receive the grant from
the National Endowment for the
Humanities. Hirsch said the founda
tion already has raised $1.37 million.
The money will be used to replace
equipment and fund programs and
production, he said.
The foundation also has a long-term
fund-raiser for the agriculture depart
ment. Hirsch said the foundation has
raised more than $5 million of the $25
million goal. He said fund raising for
the agriculture department is difficult
now because of the declining farm
economy. Hirsch said the tund-raising
effort will cont inue for the next 10 to 15
years.
Hirsch said the foundat ion has raised
$5.5 million for a $30 million project at
UNO to build a parking garage and help
build a new life science building.
The foundation also is raising money
for the Centennial professorship pro
gram at the NU Medical Center, he
said. Money has been raised for 15 pro
fessorships, he said.
Hirch said that from July 1 to Oct. 1,
more than $5.57 million was donated to
the foundation. During the same time
last year, more than $1.98 million was
donated.
The increase is due to large dona
tions the foundation has received for
the parking garage and science build
ing at UNO, he said.
Of the $5.57 million in gift s this year
only $10,842 can be used for any pur
pose, Hirsch said.
When the foundation has unrestricted
funds, NU President Ronald Kosknis
and the academic chancellors are asked
to identify needs in order of priority.
The funds are allocated by the founda
tion's Awards and Grants Committee
and then approved by the foundation's
Executive Committee.
The foundation has more than 3,000
active funds.
In the 1984-85 academic year, the
foundation raised $13.5 million.

NANNIES from Page 1
"My day was never nine-to-five and 1
lived with these people, so on my days
off I didn't get away from the work
environment unless I left," she said.
Livingston said she spent her days
off with a friend or took the bus to New
York or Philadelphia. -
She said she wanted to be a nanny
because she could see another part of
the country and get paid for it. She said
Helping Hands, Inc., emphasized the
great opportunity to travel, but failed
to explain the difficulty faced by a
Midwestern woman going to live with a
wealthy East Coast family.
"It was great that I got to see so
much about the country," she said.
"But it didn't make up for having to
deal with the family."
Midtown Manhattan
UNL freshman Peggy Keller expe
rienced a similar situation in midtown
Manhattan last January. Keller said
she spoke to the family three times
before she moved into their apartment.
She said the family told her she would
take care of their month-old baby. The
mother stressed being her friend and
offered to show her around New York.
However, Keller said her responsibili
ties changed completely when she
arrived.
"1 became a housekeeper," she said.
"I did the laundry, and on my days off I
still had to get up with the baby at
night."
However, Keller said, the family
bought her a lot of clothes and paid for
everything she needed. They also took
her with them on a Florida vacation,
she said.

The couple's son became sick in
Florida and Keller said she was blamed.
She said she called her parents in Lin
coln from Florida and asked them for a
plane ticket home. She worked for the
family for one month.
"It was a learning experience," she
said. "I always thought a nanny was a
live-in babysitter, but they should call
it a housekeeper."
She'd do it again
Despite her experience in Manhat
tan, Keller said she would be a nanny
again if the right family came along.
She said she would like to meet the
family in person before she accepted a
job.
"And it would've been a lot easier if
we would have had a contract," she
said.
But not every nanny has a bad
experience.
UNL sophomore Deborah Peterson
spent seven weeks last summer in New
Canaan, Conn., and she said she enjoyed
every minute of it.
"Basically all I did was take care of
the girl, get meals ready and pick up
after her," Peterson said. "I didn't have
to do much."
She said the family made her feel
like part of their family. They paid for
her trips and gave her a large bonus at
the end of the summer.
Although Livingston had a bad expe
rience as a nanny, she said, she thinks
the nanny program has potential.
"The program could be great," Liv
ingston said. "But it seems so blind
from this end (as a nanny)." She said
nannies need to know what kind of
family situation they are getting into.
