Country to replace regime-sanctioned books University helps Czech program tioned textbooks and research mate rials. . Wanek and Michael Jensen, elec tronic media manager for the Univer sity of Nebraska Press, decided the best answer to Palous immediate needs -** This is the first demon stration they’ve had that change is really taking place. Wanek marketing manager for University of Nebraska press -ft - would be a desktop system at Charles University that the professors and students could use to begin their own publishing efforts. They contacted Apple Computcr Europe and requested a donation lor Charles University. Wanek said they knew Apple had made donations to educational institutions bclore. “It was touch and go. We weren't sure we would be able to get the equipment,” Jensen said. The fact that the venture was non profit and connected to UNL helped the effort, the said. The advanced desktop publishing system includes three Macintosh computers with full-page monitors and two LaserWriter printers front Apple Computer-Europc. “Apple sees this as an investment,” Wanck said. “If they give away a few, they know they’ll sell more. “It’s good PR for them, of course,” Jensen said. “They’ve promised to continue to assist us.” Wanek and Jensen traveled to Prague in late September to teach u group of Charles University stall members to use the equipment. Jensen said he and Wanck plan to return to Prague during the last week of Octo ber to complete the instruction and to help begin work on a book. Wanek said she hoped the venture would lead to a long-lasting exchange program between Charles University and UNL. This would allow the two universities' faculty members to share books and ideas. “It’s a way of sharing what schol ars are doing all over the world,” she said.

Jim Holleran, an instructor in the new IJNL Department of Nutritional Science and Hospitality Management, said he is “scrounging around” to find the money needed to expand the pro gram. The NU Board of Regents approved the program this fall. The name was changed from the Department of Human Nutrition and Food Service Management, but changes in the pro gram have not taken effect yet. Holleran is trying to work around the fact that the program was pul in place without an operating budget. He said he has been mccung with university officials who arc in a posi tion to help the program. Making the program a shared ef fort of the university and the private sector is important, Holleran said. Implementing the program would not be cheap, he said, and the private sector must he willing to provide jobs and internships for students. Hiring professionals to come in and teach classes is one way Holleran hopes to get the program underway without an addition to the depart ment's budget. University administrators have promised the department a new posi tion next year, he said. The position probably will be filled w ith a restau rant management professor because that is where the strengths of the department lay, Holleran said. A set of core courses, such as marketing, will be implemented next year, Holleran said. He said he hopes hotci/molcl managemcntcourses w ill be in place as well. Hospitality management deals with three areas: hotel/motel management, restaurant management and tourism, Holleran said. The market for graduates in hospi tality management is good, Holleran said, with national placement rates of 90 percent to 94 percent. The University of Nebraska at Omaha will offer a similar program. About 154 hospitality management programs exist nationwide, Holleran said.

Diane Wanek, marketing manager for the University of Nebraska Press, said members of the Nebraska pub lishing company facilitated the dona tion of $35,000 of equipment for Charles University in Prague by Apple Computcr-Europe in late September to start a desktop publishing opera tion. The venture has-attracled national attention in Czechoslovakia, Wanek said. “This is the first demonstration they’ve had that change is really tak ing place. What we did was pretty revolutionary,” she said. The project was sparked by a meeting between Wanek and Radim Palous, rector of Charles University and a famous Czechoslovakian phi losopher. Palous was at the Univer sity of Nebraska at Omaha last De cember to receive an honorary de gree. “When 1 mentioned desktop pub lishing, he (Palous) really perked up,” Wanek said. “He said this was the most important meeting he'd had in America.” Palous told Wanek that since the November revolution in Czechoslo vakia, there has been an urgent need to replace Communist regime-sane
