Harms fund-raising drive begins
By Shannon Jacobs
Staff Reporter
The fund-raising drive for the
Candice Harms memorial fund was
announced formally on Wednesday
at Broyhill Plaza.
Shelly Byrne, the Memorial Steer
ing Committee chairwoman, said the
committee hoped to raise $15,000 by
December to build a 20-inch-high,
35-foot-long curved wall in honor of
Harms, a University ofNebraska-Lin
coln freshman who was murdered
two years ago.
After the money is raised, the wall
will be built in the northwest comer
of North Plaza Park on UNL’s City
Campus, she said.
Chancellor Graham Spanier said
that although he wished a memorial
wasn’t needed, he was glad Harms
would be remembered and celebrated.
“The memorial wall is an appro
priate and fitting way for us to re
member Miss Harms,” he said.
Mayor Mike Johanns and
Lancaster County Attorney Gary
Lacey also spoke briefly to encourage
students and Nebraska citizens to
make donations.
“There’s no question that Candi
affected us all, not only in her life but
also in her death,” Johanns said.
The memorial wall will recognize
that she contributed to our commu
nity, he said.
Harms’ mother, Pat, who attended
the announcement, said the announce
ment and the visit to campus made
her emotional.
“Every time people do nice things
for us and Candi, I cry,” she said.
Harms said she was pleased with
the effort the university was making
to remember her daughter.
“I hope the students will enjoy the
memorial,” she said.
The memorial committee, which
has raised $3,000 so far, will host its
first event, a spaghetti feed, on Sun*
day from 5 to 7 p.m. in theyCentennial
Room of the Nebraska/cJnion. The
all-you-can-eat supper is open to the
public, and admission is $4.
Anyone wanting to make dona
tions may contact the Association of
Studentsofthe UniversityofNebraska
office.
College celebrates 100th anniversary
By Stacie Renner
Staff Reporter
The College of Human Resources
and Family Sciences 100th anniver
sary gives the university a chance to
reflect on the changes within the col
lege and in society itself, the college’s
dean said.
“Fifty years ago, women were in
the home. Now we have professional
women who work outside and in the
home — that is a big issue,” said
Karen Craig, dean of the college.
Kinsey Green, dean of the home
economics college at Oregon State
University, spoke Wednesday at the
East Nebraska Union on the issues
facing American families and home
economics professionals, as part of
the anniversary celebration.
“It is a universal need for families
to be self-sufficient,” she said. Even
families faced with illiteracy and al
coholism must be self-sufficient, she
said.
Another area affecting families is
the growing number of elderly people,
she said, because Americans older
than 65 are the fastest growing seg
ment of the population.
The home economics profession is
faced with the problems of health
care, housing and care-giving for the
elderly.
Balancing both care-giving and
job responsibilities can be overwhelm
ing for families, she said, and family
professionals must address that issue.
Green also said the people involved
in home economics should strive to
ward electronic literacy.
Students have access to informa
tion across the world, she said, and
schools must educate students to use
it.
Green said the college also must
focus on a broader base, including
public education, health care reform
and welfare.
“All of these have implications for
families,” said Green.
“What I’d like to say to those en
rolled in home economics is there
will always be a place for you,” Green
said, “We need creative, resourceful
people in our profession.”
Craig echoed that sentiment.
“You never get bored — there is
always something new to do,” she
said. “We’re always needed.”
Senators question group s intent
By Melanie Brandert
Staff Reporter
ASUN senators questioned the
>nature of a student organization’s
purpose statement in an application
for recognition at the senate's
Wednesday night meeting.
“RBT2: The
Cheese Genera
tion” had stated in
the application to
the Association of
Students of the Uni
versity ofNebraska
that its purpose was
to provide a source
of entertainment
for the Lincoln community and UNL
students by showing rare and obscure
videos.
The organization received ap
proval, but about five senators ex
pressed concern about the content of
the videos the organization may want
to shdw. Andy Vuko, senator for the
college of general studies, was the
first to speak out.
“I just don’t feel comfortable with
the kind of videos they’re (going to
be) showing,” she said. ‘‘They could
be Nazi or Communist.”
Graduate senator Charles
Hamilton, however, said the senate
didn’t have the right to judge an
organization’s content.
“The only thing we can judge them
on is whether they have their consti
tution in order and whether (or not)
they have applied to become an orga
nization,” Caldwell said.
Katie Tallman, chairwoman of the
Special Topics Committee and sena
tor for the criminal justice college,
said the proposed organization had
met the necessary requirements for
recojpiition. After the meeting, she '
said the senate was not allowed to
probe into the content of an organiza
tion applying for recognition.
In other business, Marc Schulte,
president of the Engineering Execu
tive Board, addressed the senate about
the ongoing engineering debate with
the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Also, the senate approved a list of
seven nominees to fill four student
positions on the Daily Nebraskan
Publications Board. The list will be
forwarded to James Griesen, vice
chancellor of student affairs, for se
lection of four members.
