Days promote tradition of helping
By Kimberu Swartz
Staff Reporter
Millions of volunteers across the
nation will try to lend a helping hand
as they celebrate the sixth annual
“Make a Difference Day” on Saturday
and Nov. 1.
Saturday, which is the national cel
ebration, has been dedicated to help
those in need through community ser
vice and volunteer activities. Nov. 1 is
the Campus Day of Service, when stu
dents, faculty and staff will have the
opportunity to work together on ser
vice projects.
The first “Make a Difference Day”
was Feb. 29, 1992. Since then, USA
WEEKEND magazine and The Points
of Light Foundation have promoted the
day as an annual tradition.
Gov. Ben Nelson and mayors
across Nebraska encourage people to
participate in the event, which is spon
sored locally by the Nebraska Commis
sion for National and Community Ser
vice.
“We want everyone to become
dedicated to volunteering and help
their community any way they can,”
said Christine Vu, administrative assis
tant for the Nebraska Commission for
National and Community Service.
Last year, almost 4,000 Nebraskans
were involved in community service
projects, she said, and this year looks
just as bright.
“Our state has been really dedicated
to volunteerism,” she said. “We have a
terrific amount of volunteers from teen
agers to senior citizens.”
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
students will have a chance to partici
pate from noon to 6 p jn. on Nov. 1.
They can volunteer at University
Child Care, Facilities Management,
Students with Disabilities, Landscape
Services and East Campus green
houses.
One of the biggest service projects
will be beautifying the campus, said
Amy Martin, community service assis
tant for Student Involvement.
So far, the university response has
been encouraging, said Marilyn
Bugenhagen, director of the office of
Student Involvement.
“Volunteering benefits the commu
nity and students,” she said. “It is very
satisfying to know you are helping oth
ers. It really makes a difference in so
ciety.”

of Service, call Student Involvement
at 472-2454 to receive a form. For

ference Day” project locations and

Physics classes go ‘paperless’
PHYSICS from page 1
The end result is a computerized
physics classroom.
Students can use the computers
to gather information on the World
Wide Web, conduct research with
electronic sensors, instantly plot ex
periment results and download un
finished assignments to their own
personal computers.
In addition, all exams will be
given on computers.
Fuller said he knows of no other
universities with this kind of phys
ics setup.
“We think it’s unique,” Fuller
said. “There are other institutions
that do distance homework, but we
don’t know of any place where stu
dents are doing assignments, home
work and exams solely on comput
am M
ers.
Fuller said this setup might be
come typical of all classrooms in the
future.
“It seems clear to me that this
will be the way of the future,” Fuller
said.
“Imagine a classroom where all
the students c<Mne in with laptop
computers and take notes by typing
what the lecturer says.
“Sooner or later the professor
will realize that there’s got to be a
better way to get out the informa
tion than by projecting it on a wall.”
