Student donations may finance memorial Participants ask for more Bibles, faith By Julie Sobczyk Staff Reporter bout 60 UNL students gath ered to pray for students around the world Sunday at the World Student Day of Prayer. The program, or concert of prayer, was sponsored by the Association of Campus Religious Workers. Larry Doerr, campus pastor with United M inistrics, said the purpose of the event was to gather Christian stu dents together to pray for the needs of students around the world. “The benefits of this program are I to increase world vision and aware ness among American students and to give specifics on how to pray for these countries,” said Brett Yohn, presi dent of ACReW. The concert of prayer featured Christian music performed by mem bers of the University Lutheran Chapel. In addition, four international UNL students talked about Christian ity in their area of the world. The students, who represented ar eas of Indonesia, Peru, Africa and Germ any, offered prayers for the needs ofstudents from their countries. Those at the program formed small groups and prayed for these needs. Sri Dihardjo, a student from Indo nesia, asked students to pray for easier access to Bibles for the people in her country. Barbelin VandersMissen, a student from Germany, said she wanted prayers offered for students in her country to have more faith and love for God. Andrew Loudon, president of the Assoc iation of S tuden ts of the Uni ver sity of Nebraska, spoke on what the students of North America should be praying for. He said those who were financially and personally struggling should be remembered in prayer. Students at the concert of prayer had positive reactions to the program. Paul Payne, junior mechanical en gineering major, said, “l feel I’m do ing my job as a Christian. Prayer can directly influence what happens in the world.” -1 Student donations may finance memorial From Staff Reports The steering committee created to develop plans for a Candice Harms memorial isplanning tocall UNL students for donations. Committee member Jill Sloup, a sophomore speech pathology ma jor who graduated from Pius X with Harms in 1992, said the committee thought asking students for dona tions would be the most effective means of raising funds for the me mor i al. “It’s hard to say,” Sloup said, “but we hope students will be very supportive. It’s something that they know a lot about and they can profr ably relate to.” Harms, 18, of Lincoln, was in her first semester at UNL when she was abducted, raped and murdered. Two men, Roger Bjorklund and Scott Barney, have been convicted of the crime. The proposal has been made to locate the memorial in North Plaza Park, or green space. An inscribed retaining wall and an angel statue arc ideas under consideration. Estimates put the price tag at $10,000 to $15,000. Sloup said the group planned to form a calling committee and will call students on April 17 and 24. The steering committee also has tentatively planned to have a booth in the Union on April 20. PALS Continued from Page 1 Mike Johnson plans at least one event a week for him and his junior counselor, 8-ycar-old Darnell Utley. He said the activities included bowl ing, going to the circus or seeing a movie. Mostly, he said, he and Darnell do individual activities. Darnell is inde pendent, Johnson said, and doesn't like to share his friends. Koch said counselors and pals met f lor a monthly event in addition to the weekly activities. Recently, parents, children and counselors all went to Chuck E. Cheese for pizza and games. “It was fun to see the kids interact with each other,” Koch said. Koch has been with the project since her freshman year. This is Johnson’s first semester. To get involved, Koch said, stu dents first must go through an exten sive interview with NHRI. It is up to the student to show interest and make the dedication to the project, she said. The institute must be assured the students will get together once a week with their pals and keep the commit ment to the children. In the orienta tion. Koch said, students receive a 1 ist of expectations. Taylor’s mother. Sue Glissman, said it was fortunate the project was small enough for Taylor to receive individual attention. She said Taylor probably didn’t treasure the gift the students were giving as much as she did. “I wish I had known about it when I was in school because I was in spe cial cd.” Free Computer 1 Classes!
