^Media, nonprofits united today
By Jenny House
Staff Reporter
It’S a discussion to shed light on
the relationship between nonprofit
■ organizations and the media “Into
the Next Century.”
The symposium will bringtogether
s. members from both areas today in die
s Nebraska Union, said coordinator
Charlyne Berens.
“We want both the nonprofits and
the media to come to a better under
standing with one another to meet
both of their goals,” said Berens, the
assistant to the dean of the College of
Journalism • and Mass Communica
tions.
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

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.
