Study Abroad photographs
show snapshots of culture
By Lindsay Young
Staff Reporter
Casey Bulk wanted to show people
what Mexico was all about. So he
entered a photo contest
Burk, a University of Nebraska
Lincoln senior history and English
major, turned in three photos he took in
Mexico this summer to the Study
Abroad Photo Contest sponsored by
International Affairs. The contest was
introduced at the Study Abroad
Extravaganza this fall.
He said he entered the contest to
give people a different perspective on
Mexico. People often view it as a large
desert and completely poverty stricken,
Burk said. He tried to show the other
sideinhispictures.
“It’s always nice to enhance and dis
pute what (people) believe,” Burk said.
However, Burk won second place in
the contest with his black-and-white
picture of a homeless woman. He also
entered pictures of a Mexican native
with flowers and a mural depicting suf
frage from Spain.
“There is a lot of culture and diver
sity, and it’s a really exciting place,”
Burk said.
Shaney Sanders, marketing assis
tant for Study Abroad, said the photo
contest was held to give students an
opportunity to share experiences such
as Burk’s through photos. This was the
second Study Abroad photo contest
The deadline for the pictures was
Oct 9, and contest winners were noti
fied this week.
Ken Maxwell won the $50 first
prize with a picture that gives the illu
sion ofhim holding up the Tower of Pisa
in Italy. He studied in Florence.
Come Suhr, who spent her summer
in Mexico, won third place. Others who
won recognition for their pictures were
Cecil Howell, who studied in Japan;
Todd Anderson, with a picture from
Mexico; and Warner Myers, who also
studied in Italy.
Pictures were judged on content,
appeal, and how they represented study
ing abroad. Sanders said International
Affairs received a variety of photos.
They received artistic photos, land
scapes and marketplace photos, she
said Sixty photos were entered into the
contest
Some of die photos will be used in
promotions for the Study Abroad pro
gram, Sanders said
Sanders said they hope the planned
new brochures, which will include these
pictures, help to lure new students into
the program.
The photos will be displayed on the
International Affairs Web site at

State senator resigns
to fill NU lobbyist slot
WITHEM from page 1
“When you become an elected
official, you gain skills and inside
information used to promote the
public interest. To suddenly say,
‘I’m going to quit and use the
things the public empowered me
with to become a lobbyist,’ - well,
they should think long and hard
about that,” Mendenhall said.
She said a law, which was pro
posed by state Sen. Curt Bromm
of Wahoo in 1993, would have
required a certain period of time to
elapse between the time a senator
leaves the Legislature and the time
he could become a lobbyist.
The proposed law, prohibiting
what Mendenhall called a “revolv
ing-door” policy, failed.
Withem, who made $12,000 a
year as a senator and will make
$82,000 a year as a lobbyist, said
he was unaware of specific com
ments regarding his acceptance of
the new lobbying position. He
denied using his “inside knowl
edge” to further his career.
“I’ve served the state well for
the last 14 years. If I were using
public office to further my person
al career, I would have left a long
time ago,” Withem said.
He said his new lobbying posi
tion would require him to monitor
state and national legislation that
affects the university system. He
said he would also relay the uni
versity’s positions on certain
issues to the Legislature.
Although his office will be in
Varner Hall on the East Campus of
the University of Nebraska
Lincoln, Withem said he will con
tinue to live in Papillion.
Withem said die funding of the
university system would be a key
issue with which he would work,
including the deferred mainte
nance of buildings on NU campus
es, which the Legislature dis
cussed last year.
He also said a key issue would
be the role of the universities in
promoting economic development
throughout the state.
But right now, Withem said, he
is concentrating on “getting start
ed” as die NU governmental rela
tions director.
“I’m most looking forward to
getting started at it - getting com
fortable. You have a little anxiety
when you’re leaving something
you’ve been doing for more than
14 years,” Withem said.
