A new center designed to encourage
economic development through entre
preneurship has been established by
the College of Business Administra
tion, said Dean Gary Schwendiman.
The Nebraska Center for Productiv
ity and Entrepreneurship aims to bring
business leaders, bankers, students
and venture capitalists together and
help them nurture ideas that can add
to Nebraska's economic development,
he said.
A recent survey ranks Nebraska as
one of the lowest states for entrepre
neurs and indicates there is room for
improvement, said Sang Lee, regents
distinguished professor and chairman
of the management department.
Pill most popular
method, clinics say
THE PILL from Page 1
Planned Parenthood prescription
prices, based on a sliding-fee scale,
range from $9 to $27 for a three month
cycle slightly more than the Health
Center's price of $6.75 for both Ortho
Novum and Triphasil.
At both the Health Center and
Planned Parenthood clinics the pill is
by far the most popular birth control
method, officials at both clinics said.
About 80 percent of the patients who
use Planned Parenthood contraceptives
are on the pill, said Tim Moran, com
munity relations coordinator.
In 1984, Planned Parenthood dis
pensed 33,558 packets of pills. Last
year, 37,613 packets were sold, Moran
said. About 70 percent of the pill-users
at Planned Parenthood are college-age
(between 18 and 24 years old).
Although the Health Center didn't
have any figures available for pill
prescriptions, a staff nurse said the pill
seems to have recovered from earlier
negative publicity about its side effects.
Mary Lou Golan said more patients are
now aware of the pill's positive side
effects regulating menstrual cycles,
reducing cramps and reducing the risk
of malignant breast disease and of
cancer in the ovaries and the lining of
the uterus.
The pill is safer for 17 to 25-year-olds
than for older patients, Golan said. But
some pill-users remain concerned about
potential side effects.
One UNL junior, who's been using
the pill for about six months, had to
switch brands after one pill caused her
to bleed between periods.
Although she has observed no further
negative affects since she switched
brands, she is concerned about risks of
cancer and heart disease in the long
term.
Her decision to go on the pill was
based on convenience, she said.
"You don't have to drag it around,"
she said.
The student also feels secure with
the pill's 99 percent effectiveness rate.
The student said some of the stigma
attached to using "the pill" has faded
away. But she still hides the pack from
her mother, and is careful about who
she tells.
The Health Center supplies about 10
different types of birth control pills,
which have varying ratios ot the hor
mones estrogen and progesterone.
Planned Parenthood supplies eight
varieties.

Each also provides information about
alternate methods, risks and effective
ness. The Health Center requires that
its pill-users attend a one-hour class on
birth control before receiving a pre
scription. State ag contest
to draw students
The vocational agricultural state
contest for high school students will be
today and Friday on the UNL east cam
pus. Over 1,000 Nebraska high school
students are expected to attend and
150 college students are helping host
the event. For more information con
tact Cliff McClain, 472-2807.
"New industries are not going to
move in unless the university can pro
vide support," Lee said. "For example,
Kentucky just attracted a $800 million
Toyota plant with 5,000 new jobs. Part
of the deal requires the state to invest
$30 million in the University .of Ken
tucky to develop a management and
training center."
A similar center at Penn State has a
budget of $8.5 million, said Lee. UNL
has no such funding now, but faculty
members are trying to get private fund
ing. "Eventually we hope to have some
professional staff," Lee said, "but right
now we are relying heavily on faculty."
The center's activity might move
slowly at first because of lack of fund
ing. But Lee said the center already has
made plans to sponsor the first Ne
braska Conference on Productivity and
Entrepreneurship April 25.
The one-day conference at the Lin
coln Hilton Hotel will feature well
known entrepreneurs and get the atten
tion potential entrepreneurs, Lee said.
Registration deadline is April 18. Those
interested should contact the depart
ment of management, CBA 210.
Among those scheduled to conduct
workshops are Richard Byrne, chair
man of the Bryne Group; management
consultants to the IBM corporation;
David Calhoun, Jack North Printing Co.
Inc., Lincoln; AJ. Scribante, Majors
Market Research Co., Omaha; Bernard
Reznicek, Omaha Public Power Dis
trict, and Norton Warner, KLIN AM-FM,
Lincoln.
