Small businesses in Nebraska
will have the opportunity to learn
about increasing productivity and
profits this fall from a joint pro
gram sponsored by the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Ne
braska Bankers Association.
Robin Anderson, director of the
UNL Nebraska Center for Entrepre
neurship, said the program, “Grow
ing in Nebraska,” is made up of a
series of four related workshops.
‘Growing in Nebraska” is unique
because it focuses on the concept
of teamwork, Anderson said.
“The ideal situation wouldbeto
have the business owner,
officer and his accountant all at
tend the workshops,” he said.
After receiving instruction at
the workshops, the individuals will
then be expected to plan a business
strategy as a team, he said.

anywhere else in the cou
AnThe^Jgram is slated to begin
later mis month and will continue
until February. The cost to busi
nesses for the series will be S395,
which includes follow-up consui
tations.
Each workshop has a ditterent
emphasis ranging from profit to
quality management to marketing,
Anderson said.
The workshops will feature
presentations made by representa
tives of Nebraska companies such
as ConAgra and Arthur Andersen
Associates. The featured compa
nies either began as small busi
nesses or routinely work with sma
businesses. , . ,
Anderson commended thefirms
that are helping with the instru
tion of the sessions. .
"They are doing it because
they’re committed to business in
Nebraska,” he said.
Anderson also said the objec
tive of the program is to reach
businesses with growth potential.
‘‘The businesses that make a
difference in the community are
the ones that grow,” he said.
ASUN to vote on fees bill

The Committee for Fees Alloca
tion will be better able to decide the
fate of student fees if ASUN passes a
bylaw amendment
tonight, the CFA
chairman said.
Rob Broomfield
said the bylaw
change would re
quire fee users to
^yjlull. , _ report to the com
mittee how many students and non
students used their facilities.
“The mission of CFA is to (act) in
the best interest of the university so
that the fees are well used,” Broom
field said.
During the spring semester, fee
users, such as the University Health
Center, student unions and the Uni
versity Programs Council, submit their
proposed budgets to CFA.
The committee studies the infor
mation and makes recommendations
to the Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska. The fee us
ers’ budgets must be approyeu by the
senate and the AS UN president.
Broomfield said that if the legisla
tion passes, CFA members will be
better able to judge where money
should go.
“If lots of money is going to some
thing students don’t use,” he said,
“maybe it should be reallocated.”
The bylaw also would require CFA
meetings to be audio taped to keep a
more accurate, lasting record, Broom
field said.
In other action, AS UN President
Andy Massey is working on a bylaw
change that would require senators to
attend student organization meetings
once a month.
He said communication between
university student organizations is poor.
Massey said he hopes organization
representatives will want to attend
AS UN meetings if they talk to each
other more.
“There are organizations out there
.that we need to know more about,”
Massey said. “And a better under
standing of both entities would be
good.”
