About 30 panelists from the media and nonprofit organizations will par ticipate.in the symposium. The media and nonprofit organi zations often work together, Berens said, but their relationship is some times strained. “There’s two sides,” she said. “On one hand, most nonprofits want cov erage, they don’t have a lot of money to advertise. They have volunteer workers and they want their word out to attract more help and let their available services be known. “News writers and broadcasters want to include the nonprofits,” she said, “but they have limits involving staff, time and space.” Nonprofits often do not know how to present their information. Like business and government, Bereris said, nonprofits should be watched because they handle large sums of money and are still open to corrup tion. Guests at the symposium will in elude Pulitzer Prize winners Gil Gaul, a reporter from The Philadelphia In quirer, and Maijie Lundstrom, metro editor of the Sacramento Bee.. •-# John Quinn, former editor of USA Today and deputy director of TTie Freedom Forum, will express the media1 s view on news coverage of nonprofit institutions. Ron Brown, assistant NU football coach, will give a luncheon speech regarding nonprofit organizations. Brown organizes four statewide Christian summer camps for disad vantaged children. “Into the Next Century” is sched uled to last from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost is $ 10 for the public and $5 for students. Students who have not preregis tered are welcome to come, Berens said; they will miss out only on lunch. Research Continued from Page 1 campus was teaching undergradu ate and first-year professional stu dents. Outside of meeting that prior ity, he said, the regents do not have the authority to determine what faculty members research. “There may be research projects that I might not see the reason that question is being pursued,” he said, “but five to 10 years down the line, that research may result in some finding that changes the world.” The Institute Of Agriculture and Natural Resources and UNMC al ready do extensive research that benefits Nebraska, Wilson said. Miller said he didn ’t mind where federal research money was spent, but state dollars should be spent on research that affects state taxpay ers. He said it did not make sense to research something that wouldn’t benefit Nebraskans. Wilson disagreed. “Miller’s 19-page treatise re fers to research that has no pros pect of having any value,” he said. “Sometimes research exploring areas that seem so removed turns out to be research that makes some huge quantum leap and changes the world.” Even if NU research led to a new theory of relativity, Miller said, it would be hard to justify that research to a Nebraska farmer. The regents will meet today at 9 ajn. in Varner Hall! Buildings Continued from Page 1 Regent Robert Allen of Hastings, a long-time proponent of renovating UNL buildings, said he was happy the projects would soon be under way. “The renovation in Burnett Hall is long overdue,” he said. “It’s been ignored for too many years.” Though new projects should not be put ahead of renovations, Allen said, he supports the union expansion because students support it. Architects will start designing the Nebraska Union expansion in Octo ber 1996, said Daryl Swanson, union director. The expansion should be completed in March 1998, he said Unlike the other projects, the union expansion definitely will be noticed. “It’s going to be very disruptive,” Swanson said. During construction, Swanson said, there will be an interim main entrance because most of the expan sion will take place on the north side. The expansion also means getting rid of Broyhill Fountain — and that upsets Allen. “I hate to see that fountain go, even if they do fill it up with Tide soap occasionally ” he said. “It’s a beautiful thing to have.” Other UNL projects up for ap proval include: — Budgets for elevator mainte nance projects at Oldfather Hall and Clifford Hardin Nebraska Center for Continuing Education. — Budget for College of Den tistry asbestos abatement and ceiling replacement. — Budget for the State Capitol steam-line improvements.
