She said she didn’t want people
to think her decision was anything
but professional.
“It’s important that any curator
be well-informed about all the as
pects of their job,” she said. “Since
most of the concentrated studies
are in bigger cities, it’s kind of hard
to be as up-to-date as I could be on
the coast.”
Along with prestige and ad
vancement potential, Deeds said she
had two other reasons for making
the move to New Haven — her
husband and her daughter.
Her husband, Thomas Deeds, is
a private-school teacher. Her daugh
ter, Martha, is in high school.
“There are 39 private schools in
Connecticut,” she said. “That of
fered obvious opportunities for my
husband to teach, and my daughter
is entering the 1 Oth grade, possibly
at one of those schools. We feel it’s
a good move for all of us.”
In New Haven, Deeds will be
one of eight curators responsible
for directing the University Art
Gallery. She also will be oversee
ing the construction of a new build
ing for American art.
“Professionally , it will be a real
challenge,” she said. “But now I’ll
have several other colleagues to
discuss matters with.”
Deeds said she would always
remember her job in Lincoln as one
of her favorite positions.
“I really like Lincoln, and the
Midwest community in general,”
she said. “I’m excited and nervous,
but I would like to help Yale achieve
some of the things we’ve done here.
“They’re about 300 years old,
but the Sheldon still has plenty of
things that they don’t.”
Telemarketers face
new FTC regulations
By Catherine BiaiocK
Staff Reporter
After receiving innumerable com
plaints about fraudulent telemarketers
in past years, the Federal Trade Com
mission developed new regulations
for controlling the business this year,
FTC contact representative Cynthia
Gomez said.
The new regulations forbid
telemarketers to use high-pressure
methods,make misleading statements
and withhold information to pitch
questionable products and services.
Businesses found guilty of violat
ing the new rules could receive a maxi
mum of $10,000 in fines. Employees
making these calls also could be
charged, Gomez said.
Some of the new rules include re
stricting calling times to between 8
a.m. and 9 p.m., requiring callers to
clearly state whether the call is a sales
call and prohibiting the use of false
information to get a person to pay.
The state attorney general and state
law enforcement officials now have
the power to prosecute and pursue
fraudulent telemarketers, Gomez said.
Citizens can report a violating
telemarketer by contacting the state
attorney general’s office or the FTC,
Gomez said:
Scott Mecham, president of the
Better Business Bureau in Lincoln,
said some telemarketing firms moved
frequently, and law enforcement offi
cials would have a difficult time en
forcing the new rules.
The Lincoln bureau receives calls
daily regarding telemarketers, but
many complaints involve
telemarketers outside the Lincoln area,
he said.
He said people should beware of
callers seeking credit card account
information and asking for money
before giving out prizes.
Foot in the Door, a local
telemarketing firm, will not be af
fected by the new laws, owner Carol
Rasmussen said.
Employees are trained to tell people
up front that they are telemarketing
and to only call between certain hours,
she said.
“I think there’s rules to everything.
It’s common courtesy to only call be
tween 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.,” she said.
Elevator
Continued from Page 1
One problem with renovating the
elevators will be finding the time to do
it, Schumann said. The upgrade will
take a minimum of seven weeks.
“Where do we find a block of time
seven weeks long?” he asked. “It’s
part of the details we still have to work
out.”
One reason for slow elevator ser
vice in the residence halls may be
mechanical, but student abuse also
plays a role, he said.
Students often become impatient
with the elevators and kick them or
Collections
ClMleations
pull the doors off the tracks.
“The upgrades won’t eliminate
vandalism,” he said.
Mark Loveland, Schramm resi
dence director, said students would
appreciate the upgrades.
“The students will be more satis
fied with the elevator,” Loveland said.
But the elevators will probably
continue to be abused, he said.
“I see people holding it for friends
while they check the mail or get a
pizza,” he said. “Then, students blame
the elevator for being late when it’s
really the students holding it up.
“We can put in efficient elevators,
but the students need to help, too.”
A story in Monday’s Daily Nebraskan
about the University Health Center re
ported that complete fractures could hot
be treated at the center. Physician Mary
Lutz clarified that the center can treat a
complete fracture but not an open frac
ture, when the bone is sticking out.
Lunch to let
students talk
with senators
Nebraska senators and UNL
students can chat in an informal
setting—and get free lunch —
today at noon in the Wi ck A1 umni
Center.
“This is an opportunity to in
vite all state senators to campus
and let students talk to them one
on-one about whatever is on their
minds,” said Eric Marintzer, an
ASUN Senator and chairman of
the Government Liaison Com
mittee. GLC organized the event.
Marintzer said he hoped the
event would be a forum for stu
dents with recent, important is
sues to discuss.
“Hopefully students will talk
about such issues as overriding
the governor’s veto to give more
money to the university budget."
