"Life Nebraska Style," a 30-minute television magazine show about Nebraskans and the University of Nebraska, will begin a 52-week run this fall.
The series became available to Nebraska cable systems Oct. 12. It will illustrate how the state's land-grant university helps Nebraska residents, their families and communities solve problems and improve the state's quality of life through its teaching, research and outreach efforts.
"We'll show real people doing real things," said Jim Randall, communications specialist for NU's Communications and Information Technology unit. He is the program's executive producer for NU's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
"We're going to try to focus on the people," said Curtis Bright, a program producer for the UNL Public Relations office. "This is not going to be a statistics and numbers show. It's a show about people and the things the university is doing to make their lives better."
The following Nebraska cable television operators have agreed to show the program on local access channels at these times every week: Beatrice, 5:30 p.m. Tuesday; Columbus, 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; Hastings (Good Samaritan Village), 10 a.m. Monday; Ithaca, noon Monday, 4 p.m. Thursday and 8 a.m. Saturday; Lincoln (cable channel 21), 11 a.m. Monday, 8 p.m. Wednesday, 4 p.m. Friday and 6 p.m. Sunday; McCook, 7 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday; West Point, 11:30 a.m. Wednesday and 3:30 p.m. Friday. Other cable systems are being added to the schedule, Randall said.
Each week, "Life Nebraska Style" will feature segments about university teaching, research or outreach efforts in NU science in the community, family issues, the environment and the food industry, said Kim Kindvall, program producer for IANR.
The result will be an eclectic mix of topics as diverse as showing how high school seniors can pay for college without going into debt, how Nebraskans are working together to prevent pollution, how wind energy can be harnessed and how soybean marketing groups work.
Each program includes several regular segments. "Nebraska Focus" will devote five to seven minutes to a Nebraska issue university faculty are helping to address. "The Scientist" will spend one or two minutes examining how science affects people in every day life. Ron Bonnstetter, director of secondary science education at UNL, hosts this segment. A calendar of events also will run regularly.
"Life Nebraska Style" originally ran for 26 weeks in 1995, highlighting programs and outreach efforts of NU's Cooperative Extension and IANR. The upcoming version also features UNL initiatives.
The program is produced jointly by IANR's Communications and Information Technology unit and UNL Public Relations.

A free public conference to explore racism and racial discourse in America will be Oct. 24 and 25 at the university.
"Race, Ethnicity and Public Discourse" will focus on the ways that race and ethnicity permeate American democratic discourse. It also will explore the way we discuss race influences the conduct of the nation's civic business.
Featured speakers include Ronald Lee, UNL associate professor of communication studies; Jorge Garcia of Rutgers University; John Luciates of Indiana University; Silvia Pedraza of the University of Michigan; and Adam Clayton Powell III, vice president of technology and programs for The Freedom Forum. They will discuss topics such as racism and racial discourse, race and the media, and visions of community.
Tali Mendelberg, professor of political science at Princeton University, will give the keynote address. Her lecture, "Racial Code Words and Whites' Opposition to School Desegregation: Democratic Deliberation Meets Racism," will be at 2 p.m. Oct. 24 in the Lied Center's Steinhart Room. Mendelberg also will give a public lecture at 11 a.m. Oct. 24 in 538 Oldfather Hall. The lecture, "Implicit Racial Appeals and their Impact on Electoral Campaigns," is sponsored by the Department of Political Science and the UNL Research Council.
The conference will be from 2 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 24, beginning at the Lied Center for Performing Arts. The evening session will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Wick Alumni Center. The conference will continue from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 25 in the Lied Center.
The conference is sponsored by Public Discourse and Human Values, an interdisciplinary study group at the UNL College of Arts and Sciences. The Public Discourse and Human Values group was designated last spring as an "Area of Strength" in the college. "Areas of Strength" bring faculty with common interests together in interdisciplinary teams to host conferences, bring distinguished speakers and visiting scholars to campus, develop grants and enhance the overall experience of academic activity.

Recently, most employees received a letter asking to update information contained in the electronic mail directory.
Information regarding the contents of four fields in the directory was included in the letter. The four fields were:
The letter indicated that only the "Preferred E-Mail Account" and "Nicknames" fields can be changed.
The "Full Name" was included for identification of the letter recipient. Any changes to that field must be handled by the departmental contact to the personnel department.
The E-Mail Directory Address has been generated from the personnel database. This is a unique indentifier that remains constant even if the employee changes e-mail systems (e.g., from cc:Mail to Lotus Notes or from UNLINFO to another system). The E-Mail Directory Address is a pointer to the employee's preferred e-mail account rather than an actual mailbox.
The "Preferred E-Mail Account" is the actual login account (or mailbox) at which the person receive and read e-mail. This address could change if the login moves to another system. For example, a replacement system (e.g., NEWSYS) for UNLINFO will be available during the next year. If a person moves his or her login account from UNLINFO to NEWSYS, the "Preferred E-Mail Account" would change. Changing the "Preferred E-Mail Account" has no effect on the "E-Mail Directory Address" - it remains the same.
Note that when a query is performed on the directory, the results field that is labeled email to: displays the "E-Mail Directory Address" followed by the "Preferred E-Mail Account" surrounded by parentheses.
Nicknames are used to search the e-mail directory by personal name. For example, a person named Robert Martin who uses the name Bob, may want to include BOB, RMARTIN and BMARTIN in his nickname list.
Which address to distribute to others is a matter of personal preference. Some people like to distribute the Preferred E-Mail Account (which is tied to the machine on which their account resides) because e-mail is delivered most directly that way. Others prefer to use the E-mail Directory Address, which is a unique pointer, unambiguous and will not change. Some people may prefer to use a Nickname that may not be unique (not a recommended practice).

A reception will begin at 3 p.m. Greenwald is an assistant professor of History and Native American Studies at UNL.
Prior to the Dawes Act of 1887 the various Lakota bands residing on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation altered their settlement patterns as they adjusted to the increasing control exerted over their daily lives by Euro-Americans. When the Dawes Act took effect and the federal government required members of the tribe to select farm-sized parcels of land, the Cheyenne River Lakotas had already done so. By 1887 they had become sedentary and dispersed their population across the reservation. This presentation examines the changing human geography at Cheyenne River in an effort to explain the compatibility between the Lakotas' settlement patterns and the federal legislation.
For more information call 472-3082.

Question: The duties and responsibilities of my job have changed and increased substantially in the past six months. I would like to be reclassified. How do I initiate this procedure?
Answer: Classification is based on a variety of factors: duties performed, job content, complexity of work assigned, nature and extent of supervision received and/or exercised, and minimum qualifications required to perform the duties.
The request for reclassification includes a completed Human Resources Position Questionnaire, which includes justification for that reclassification. The request for reclassification may be initiated by either the employee or supervisor, but must receive departmental approval. If approved by the department, the request is then forwarded for designated administrative approval prior to review by Human Resources.
Human Resources may conduct a job audit, involving an on-site or telephone interview with the employee to gather accurate information about the work. The position questionnaire will serve as the starting point for this audit. Discussions with the employee and/or supervisor will focus on gathering pertinent information to provide a clear understanding of the position.
Upon reviewing all the information and making comparisons with other UNL positions, Human Resources will provide verbal and written notification to the department of the classification decision. The department will then communicate this to the employee.
The reclassification decision may not be appealed through the grievance process, but the department may request that the decision be reconsidered. The written request should be directed to Human Resources and should include detailed justification for the reconsideration.

New planets, black holes, alien life? These and other phenomena are explored in Mysteries Of Deep Space, a three-part series presenting the newest achievements of modern astronomy. Featuring live action sequences, state-of-the-art computer animation and spectacular high resolution images from the Hubble Space Telescope and the world's greatest observatories, all three episodes of Mysteries Of Deep Space will air beginning at 6 p.m. Nov. 2 on EduCable, the cable television service of the Nebraska ETV Network.
Since the Hubble Space Telescope was repaired in late 1993, the public has been treated to a growing collection of spectacular images from deep space. Drawing on these images and on the latest efforts to understand the dynamics of the universe, Mysteries Of Deep Space shows how far the science of astronomy has advanced in recent years.
"To the Edge of the Universe" at 6 p.m. goes behind the scenes as a group of young astronomers use the Hubble Space Telescope to look deep into the origins of space and time and observe our universe racing away from us into infinity.
Following at 7 p.m., "Exploding Stars and Black Holes" presents astronomers using the latest technology in telescope size and design and mind-bending refinements in supercomputer analysis to search for answers to questions we have asked ourselves since man first gazed at the night-time sky.
The final program, "The Search for Alien Worlds" at 8 p.m., poses the question that has fascinated humanity since the time of the ancient Greeks: Are we alone? Are there other planets like Earth? For the first time in history, science is providing the tools to address these great questions scientifically. EduCable and the Nebraska ETV Network are services of Nebraska Educational Telecommunications.
Nebraska ETV Network viewers in the Merriman area will enjoy better and more reliable reception thanks to a $268,870 grant that Nebraska Educational Telecommunications has received from the Public Telecommunications Facility Program administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
In addition, a $26,550 PTFP grant will help the Nebraska Public Radio Network to produce more and better programming.
The PTFP grant awarded to Nebraska ETV will be matched by state funds and help pay for a new transmitter for KANE-TV Channel 12, Merriman. The new transmitter will provide more reliable service because it will be less susceptible to damage from lightning strikes, according to Paul Sautter, assistant director of engineering-transmissions at NET.
Sautter adds that the transmitter will be compatible with digital broadcasting standards and help pave the way for Nebraska ETV's planned transition to high definition television programming.
NPRN will use its PTFP grant to purchase a digital audio workstation, a telephone switcher and hard disk cart system. The equipment will enable the radio network to produce more and higher quality local programming, including news segments and pledge breaks, according to Bill Thomas, assistant general manager for NPRN.
Public Radio Nebraska Foundation, the not-for-profit fundraising arm of NPRN, will provide matching funds for the federal grant.
Nebraska ETV and NPRN are services of NET. The complete program schedules for both networks are available on NET's World Wide Web site, http://net.unl.edu.
Drug sniffing dogs, mandatory searches and other anti-drug tactics have found their way into Nebraska schools, according to the "Perspectives" segment of Statewide, the Nebraska ETV Network's weekly magazine series, airing Friday, Oct. 31, at 8 p.m.
The program, which repeats at 7 p.m. Nov. 1 and at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 2, also provides up-to-the-minute news reports from across the state and other features.
In efforts to slow a growing problem, two Nebraska schools have begun voluntary drug testing programs. Norfolk High School and Omaha's Westside High are addressing drug use with the consent of parents. By asking parents' permission to test children for drugs, are the schools being more responsible or putting the liability at someone else's feet? Correspondent Donna Wilson examines how large the drug problem is in the schools and the effectiveness of these new tactics in the war on drug use.
Statewide, which is underwritten by Aliant Cellular, is a production of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Television Public Affairs Unit for broadcast on the Nebraska ETV Network. The series is closed captioned for hearing-impaired viewers by the Nebraska Captioning- Center.

Ghosts, goblins, witches and other supernatural denizens live - make that die for late October when their cronies in uncanniness revel in scary festivity on All Hallow's Eve, better known as Halloween.
The statewide Nebraska ETV Network celebrates the spooky "trick-or-treat" holiday with three special broadcasts.
Everyone enjoys dressing up for Halloween, especially the literature-loving Jack Russell terrier Wishbone, who stars in "Halloween Hound: the Legend of Creepy Collars," airing on the Wishbone series, at 11 a.m. Oct. 26, at 11 a.m. and repeating Halloween day, Oct. 31, at 5 p.m.
The hour-long special finds Joe Talbot, Wishbone's young owner, joining friends in a Halloween scavenger hunt. The hunt leads Joe's team to the abandoned Murphy house where Wishbone joins the kids to help them overcome their anxiety and guide them to victory.
Meanwhile, Joe's fears spark Wishbone's imagination and transport him to a literary adventure - Washington Irving's 1819 classic, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. As Ichabod Crane, Wishbone comes paw-to-hoof with the Headless Horseman.
Even monsters can be scared on Halloween. In "Elmo Says Boo!," airing on Halloween afternoon at 12:30 p.m., everybody's favorite little red monster from Sesame Street visits the Count's castle to tell some of his funniest jokes.
At first Elmo finds the atmosphere a bit overwhelming, since the Count shares his castle with jangling skeletons and howling ghosts. Even the paintings on the wall have a tendency to shriek.
But once the Count introduces Elmo to all his spooky friends, they settle down for "spirited" jokes, songs and skits. Elmo learns that appearances can be deceiving and that what seems scary at first can end up being a lot of fun.
The high spirits - and magical talents - of Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra bewitch public television audiences when the hour-long "Cincinnati Pops Holiday: Erich Kunzel's Halloween Spooktacular" airs Halloween night at 9 p.m.
Maestro Kunzel needs no feats of legerdemain to appear as both program host and conductor of the Cincinnati Pops. He conjures Broadway and television star Robert Guillaume and country singer and actor Tom Wopat as guests. The other featured performers, the Pendragons, enchant the audience at the Cincinnati Music Hall - and at home with their special musical magic.
Witches, goblins, scary stories and even fireworks accompany the Cincinnati Pops on "Night on Bald Mountain" and music from Phantom of the Opera and Psycho, to the delight of young and old, spectral and corporeal alike.
