Event to raise funds for homeless By Julie Sobczyk Staff Reporter Spending oncnighl in Ihc cold won’t change Lincoln’s homeless problem, but some believe it will help increase awareness about the problem. Lincoln Mayor Mike Johanns an nounced Tuesday that Great Plains Winter SlccpOut Day would be Sept. 30. He encouraged Lincoln citizens to participate in the annual event by sleep ing outside for one night. Michael Carpenter, chairman of the Lincoln Homeless Coalition, said homelessness was a big problem in Lincoln. “Twenty-five hundred to 3,000 indi viduals will become homeless this year,” he said. “Over half of these arc women and children.” Factors such as income, higher hous ing prices, and domestic abuse lead to homelessness, he said. The third annual SlccpOut, orga nized by the Lincoln Homeless Coali tion, is aimed at raisingawarcncss about the homeless and raising money for shelters for the homeless. Carpenter said. Those participating in the event will sleep outside in Antelope Park. Partic ipants need to provide their own sleep ing bags and blankets. • Participants raise money during the event by getting pledges, based on the number of hours they sleep out, or one time donations. The proceeds will go to local homeless shelters. Corporate spon sors also donate money to the event. Carpenter sa id the SlccpOut was not designed to give participants a realistic experience of homelessness. “The purpose of the SlecpOul is not designed to be realistic,” he said. “It’s designed to create awareness. A lot of people who aren ’t service providers can get involved.” Carpenter said the coalition hoped to raise lens of thousands of dollars this year with the SlccpOut. He said $26,000 was raised last year and “almost $26,000 was raised the year before.” Carpenter said he was unsure of the exact number of people who would attend the event, but he expected at least several hundred. Corporate sponsors who have donat ed to the SlecpOut include FirsTicr Bank, National Bank of Commerce, Union Bank, Lincoln Telephone and the Lincoln Journal-Star. Money raised during the SleepOut will go to Lincoln shelters such as the Friendship Home and the Pcople’sCity Mission. Marsha Cussen, a representative from the People’sCity Mission,said she was glad the event made others aware of the homelessness problem in Lincoln. “Homelessness can reach anyone, like neighbors and friends,” she said. Other organizations that indirectly help homeless people, such as the Amer ican Red Cross, the Salvation Army, DayWalch and the Gathering Place, also will receive aid. “The SlecpOut helps raise aware ness, and the money helps DayWatch stay open,” said Nancy Erickson, a representative from DayWatch. “We need to do something about the home less problem.” UJNL to partake in exchange program By John Fulwider Staff Reporter A new exchange program with the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, India, will giyc UNL busi ness students an opportunity to share ideas with their Indian counterparts. Two officials from the Indian col lege visited the University of Nebraska Lincoln Monday todiscussancxchange program with College of Business Ad ministration students. The program, which would send UNL business students and faculty to India, would allow American and Indi an participants to teach each other about business practices in thcircountries. An Indian businessman donated $2 million to each educational institution to make the program possible. Vinod Gupta, chairman and chief executive officer of American Business Information. Inc., said he hoped his donation would foster increased coop eration and exchange of ideas between CBA and a newly expanded college of management at I IT. K.L. Chopra, the president of IIT, said the program needed students who have completed a bachelor’s of arts degree in engineering or science. He said the institute would like students with experience in a related industry. At IIT, the business management college is small—having only twenty three faculty members, he said. Chopra said IIT was strong in tech nology management and analytic tech niques but lacked experience in market ing and other non-technical aspects of management. He said he hoped the strength CBA had in those areas could strengthen the programs at MT. At the same, CBA students and faculty could learn from I IT’s experts in technical management. The exchange program will involve direct, practical experience with Indian industries, he said. For example, stu dents might go to a steel company and work on a small project. After the session with Chopra and Sanyal, Gupta shared his reason for donating $4 million to the two schools — and his vision for the program. “I think that American business in stitutions are by far the best business institions... and we need this expertise in India,” he said. “And that’s why we arc forming this operation with the University of Nebraska college of busi ness so we can enlist the help of the faculty and students and have an ex change of ideas.” Series to diagnose health care From Staff Reports __ A symposium discussing heal th care and technological change will be held today at Kimball Recital Hall.
