Nebraskans will find themselves
without some familiar services if budget
cuts to UN'L's Division of Continuing
Studies become reality, said Ward
Sybouts, interim dean.
When UNL officials listed $100,000
of proposed permanent budget cuts,
they tried to preserve programs fur
Nebraskans outside the university sys
tem, Sybouts said. But cuts in services
cannot be avoided completely because
faculty members depend on the div
ision for academic support, he said.
"When you get to this level of budget
cutting," he said, "we have to find ways
to preserve programs that have primary
responsibility so you can go to class,"
Sybouts said.
If the cuts are adopted, Nebraskans
won't have help in economic develop
ment and education that the division
previously provided. UNL's statewide
reputation would be hurt because the
division keeps people in touch with the
campus, he said.
"A lot of people don't think of the
Division of Continuing Studies, but of
UNL," he said.
Of the $100,000 in projected savings,
$36,000 would come from reorganizing
the division's activities and manage
ment. Sybouts said plans call for elimi
nating one professional and several
clerical jobs and narrowing the div
ision's responsibilities.
But reorganization would weaken
the division's ability to do marketing
surveys at a time when Nebraska needs
them to sell its products, Sybouts said.
The people w hose jobs would be elimi
nated make it possible for the division
to give the surveys the proper t ime and
attention, he said.
The division also would have to drop
its film library of several thousand
films, Sybouts said. L'NL professors
who use the library regularly would
have to do without the films or turn to
t he Nebraska ETV Network's videot ape
library, he said.
'When you get to this
level of budget cutting,
we have to find ways to
preserve programs that
have primary responsi
bility so you can go to
class.'
Sybouts
Clara Rottmann, director of media
services for Lincoln Public Schools,
said loss, of the library would deprive
state schools of films needed for their
course work. Although most educa
tional service units in Nebraska have
film libraries, she said, smaller schools
rely on UNL's library for many films.
"It seems tragic that information,
just because it's on film, could be
taken away from use," she said.
Rottmann said Lincoln schools go to
UNL's library when they need films for
teachers' professional development,
when they conduct short-term courses
or plan courses. The school district has
its own library for films that are used
regularly, she said.
Besides the loss of films, Sybouts
said, UNL professors probably will lose
some of the division's help with
equipment repair and preparation of
visual aids. A prcoosed o0 percent
reduction in the division's instructional
media services could make it necessary
for UNL to contract outside firms for
repairs, he said.
"Staff members should have the
most possible support for their classes,"
Sybouts said. "We're saying we won't
be able to do that."
One program targeted for elimina
tion will survive in a different form,
Sybouts said. The Learning Society, a
2-year-old program aimed at Lincoln,
would be picked up by the Nebraska
Alumni Association in July. The society,
which has about 120 members, offers
programs such as seminars on opera
and theater production, discussion
groups on the agricultural economy
and displays of Chinese artifacts from
the Smithsonian Institution, Sybouts
said.
John Miller, president of the alumni
association, said his group should reach
a wider Lincoln audience with the
society's activities. The association
probably will support the society
through alumni dues and yearly mem
bership fees, he said.

For the latest update on UNL activi
ties and issues, students and faculty
members can call the campus tele
phone newsline.
The newsline was discontinued last
spring, but resumed services Feb. 6.
Joe Rowson, NU director of public
affairs, said he is providing the public
service information on a telephone
answering machine because it is bene
ficial. Although students and faculty
members can call for information, most
of the messages are intended for the
media, Rowson said.
For example, on Monday the news
line contained a message about the
university's pension program and the
U.S. Senate proposal to tax it. Rowson,
speaking on the tape, said NU Presi
dent Ronald Roskens told the Senate
Finance Committee that "a long-standing
principle" of the university's pen
sion program is its untaxed benefits to
retirees. If the retirement program is
taxed, Rowson said, it could lead to
reduced benefits for university em
ployees. Rowson said other messages will
include information on topics such as
the next meeting of the NU Board of
Regents. The messages will not dupli
cate services already provided by other
information offices on campus, he said.
The newsline number is 472-6060.
