Child care organized
I Project prospers from move
By Tabitha Hincr
Staff Reporter__
A new home for the University
Child Care Project is brightening the
outlook for participants and the pro
ject’s financial statement, officials
said.
Daryl Swanson, project coordina
tor and director of the Nebraska un
ions, said the move should help the
troubled project break even this year.
Swanson had no figures as to how the
project fared last year.
The project, which cares for chil
dren of university students, faculty
and staff members and of community
members, moved from the Corner
stone, 640 N. 16th St., and the Prince
of Peace Lutheran Church, 1201
Benton, to the YWCA, 1432 N St., on
Aug. 20.
The move put the project in one
place rather than two, said project
director Barbara Vigil. Infants and
toddlers previously were separated.
While the project’s rent was free at
Cornerstone and a low cost at Prince
of Peace, the facilities lacked air
conditioning and were inconvenient
for families with infants and toddlers
whose parents had to go to both loca
tions, Vigil said.
Swanson said the project had been
“struggling” in recent years and the
situation looked serious.
“We were not going to survive
much longer the way the project was
going,” Swanson said. “Parents were
not going to stand by for the condi
tions as they stood.”
The project’s enrollment had be
gun to drop, he said.
Vigil said the inconveniences and
the drop in enrollment led to an agree
ment between the project and the
YWCA last October.
The YWCA had a grant from the
Cooper Foundation for part of a day
care’s construction costs, Vigil said,
but didn 't have a child-care program.
“Since we had a program but didn’t
have an ideal facility, it was like a
marriage made in heaven,’’ Vigil said.
The new facility has five rooms
for various age groups, two outside
playgrounds and a central inside play
area.
“Although each class has a differ
ent room, there is a sense of open
ness,” Vigil said.
Two sets of rooms have only a 4
foot-high wall division between them;
the rooms are well lit and there are
many windows, she said.
The location also provides expo
sure to the downtown area, Vigil said.
The children already have gone on
walking tours to the Foundations
Gardens and the State Capitol. Chil
dren will be able to go to story hour at
the Bennett Martin Public Library
beginning in September.
Vigil said she saw a positive change
in the children since the move.
“Since the older children had never
really been with the babies before,
they gel visiting passes to sec them,’’
she said. The project also can care for
more children since the move, she
said.
The project currently enrolls 81
children, an increase of 20 since the
move.The feasible capacity is 85,
Swanson said.
In addition to Vigil, the child-carc
center employs five full-time teach
ers, a nutritionist and at least 40 stu
dents.
The fees for 1990-91 are $79 for
infants, $74 for toddlers, S69 for 18
month-olds to 3-year-olds and $66
for 3-, 4- and 5-ycar-olds.

Gosch opposed to spending lid
!
From Stall Reports
Wednesday night student leader?
will consider a bill opposing the pro
posed 2 percent budget spending lie
on the November ballot.
Phil Gosch. president of die Asso
ciation of Students of the University
of Nebraska, said the bill also author
izes the Government Liaison Com
mittcc to inform students and voter?
about the bill’s effects on the univer
sity.
Gosch said students should be
concerned about the budget spending
lid because it could have severe ef
fects on the university.
“I think it (the 2 percent lid) rep
resents the most serious threat to stu
dent interests we’ve seen in a long
lime,” Gosch said. “This is more
damaging to students than anything
to come down the hill since the Viet
nam War. I Lhink it's that big of a
deal.”
With inflation rising at 4 percent
or 5 percent a year, a 2 percent lid
would force the university to find
funds elsewhere, Gosch said, causing
classroom si/e and tuition to increase.
“Tuition may be the only means
the university can generate money,’’
he said.
“I’m scared” it m ight pass, Gosch
said. “I say I’m scared because it (the
2 percent lid) sounds so good to the
average voter.

by administrative dispensation, she
said. By this procedure, when the
evidence is sufficiently clear, Austin
dec ides on a punishment and informs
the student in a letter.
To ensure compliance, a hold is
placed on the student’s records until
the requirements of the punishment
are fulfilled.
In most instances, the student would
be pul on probation and required to
complete a project -- usually a paper
on the subject of academic integrity,
Gricscn said.
The sludcnialso might be required
to visit the Academic Success Center
for help if the violation owed more to
not understanding how to prepare the
assignment than to purposeful cheat
ing, Austin said.
Though some students get awa>
with academic dishonesty, Austin said,
she was satisfied with the work done
in her office.
“It’s fair to students,” she said.
“We provide them with ample due
process.” Students are able to appeal
■ all decisions, but so far there have
been no appeals from last year.
