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.

“I probably had more in lhai
box about Albania than any library
in the country,” he said.
Ford's taste for knowledge of
foreign cultures is reflected in his
teaching methods.
“I like theory because when stu
dents begin to understand any the
ory, they see the world differently.”
Newly added
NU program
lacks funding
By Sara Bauder Schott

A hospitality management program
has been added at the University of
Nebraska, but no money is available
to finance it, an official 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.

The University of Nebraska Press
has given Czechoslovakian citizens
their first sign that things have changed
since the country’s overthrow of
Communist rule, an official 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
