THE AIR FORCE HEALTH CARE TEAM By Jody Beem Staff Reporter Nebraskans want UNL to be the best state-supported school in the Midwest, according to the Bureau of Sociological Research. Of 457 Nebraska adults interviewed, 93 percent thought UNL should try to become the top state-supported school in the Midwest academically, the 1984 survey said. However, only 25 percent of the people interviewed thought UNL was doing an excellent job in fulfilling its mission, the survey said. This survey is just one recent exam ple of the topics that the bureau researches said Alan Booth, co-director of the bureau. Since 1964, the bureau has done 65 reports on people's atti tudes about such things as taxation and government spending, use of health services, water policies, status of women and the treatment of juvenile delinquents. Surveys published Each year the bureau publishes the Nebraska Annual Social Indicators Sur vey. NASIS tries to discern Nebraskans' general attitudes about the quality of life in the state, as well as pinpoint their views on specific topics, Booth said. Usually 1,800 people are interviewed by phone for NASIS, Booth said. A com puter randomly picks telephone num bers until 1,800 homes with adults have been reached. The survey asks general questions about a person's age, family size, education and occupation, he said. State agencies often put specific questions on a survey to discover peo ple's attitudes on that agency or on a new policy, he said. Nebraskans' general attitudes have changed over the last 10 years, he said. "People are a lot less optimistic about their financial situation," Booth said, "but are more relaxed about their safety on the streets." Farmers pessimistic The most recent survey done on farmers' views of their financial future indicated that farmers who earn less than $1 5,000 (37 percent of all farmers) are the most pessimistic about their financial future. The survey also indi cates that dissatisfaction might stem from the difference between past and current income, not from being in a lower income bracket. Booth said people's feelings of safety could be caused by a decreasing crime rate and less television coverage of Nebraska crime. "We haven't had any sensational murders lately," Booth said. State agencies pay a set rate per minute per question to have their questions included on the survey. The rest of the money for NASIS comes from UNL, he said. NASIS has been used as a model for similar surveys performed in Kansas, Arizona and Canada, he said. Who's News Hi Recipients were Jerome J.

Agriculture, journalism to receive contributions from the NU Foundation By Diana Johnson Senior Reporter Major contributions to Nebraska agri culture and the UNL College of Journal ism were announced this weekend by the NU Foundation. A $30,000 grant from the Omaha World-Herald and the Peter Kiewit Foundation of Omaha was given for a major scholarship program for minority students planning careers in news paper journalism, said R. Neale Copple, dean of the College of Journalism. Copple said the scholarship program is an effort to increase the number of minority students planning careers in the newspaper field. The scholarship program is a coop erative effort between the UNL College of Journalism and the Omaha World Herald to help solve the minority prob lem, he said. Details of the scholarship program will be "ironed out" next semester, Copple said. The program should be in operation by next fall, he said. A $100,000 gift also was given by the World-Herald Foundation to Nebraska agriculture for the NU Foundation's Agriculture 2001 program. The Agriculture 2001 program ad dresses state agricultural needs. Ten additional weather stations, which will be purchased for $50,000, will complete the statewide system of weather stations that aid farmers and ranchers in recording weather data. The Sandhills Resource Atlas will be completed with the other half of the gift, according to Edward J. Hirsch, NU Foundation treasurer. The Sandhills Resource Atlas will serve as a collec tion of information about the area. Operation Santa gives toys to needy families I umn one puza purchi 1 I 1 J By Paula Evans Staff Reporter Needy children can get a Christmas gift of their choice through Lincoln's Operation Santa, which is beginning its 38th year. Lincoln radio station KFOR, in con junction with Nebraska National Guard, Lancaster County Welfare and Family Services, the Lincoln Action Program and various Lincoln stores, will sponsor the event. Roger Larson, KFOR station man ager, said social workers ask children from qualified needy families what they want for Christmas. The requests are then forwarded to the National Guard and KFOR. Toys are bought at participating Lincoln stores for a maximum of $11 each. The stores also gift-wrap the toys. Larson said the toys are sent to the National Guard to be matched with the child's request and individually tagged to the child from Santa. The gifts are then sent to the welfare agency and grouped according to the number of children in a family. Fami lies pick up their gifts at the welfare agency. The program is funded by private donations from KFOR listeners, Larson said. On-air requests for donations begin after Thanksgiving. He said the station raises about $30,000 each year for the program. Donations are acknow ledged on the air and are used only for Operation Santa. He said KFOR staff members volunteer their own time to the project. Donations for the Operation Santa Program can be sent to Operation Santa, KFOR, Box 80209, Lincoln, Neb. 68501.
