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.

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.

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.
