Advisory Committee To Reconsider Approved Lincoln Job Corps Center A proposed Job Corps Cen ter at the Lincoln Air Force Base will be reconsidered by the advisory committee of the Lincoln Opportunity Team in the light of new information, according to Lincoln Mayor Dean Petersen. J. O. Grantham, of North ern Natural Gas Co. and the director of the proposed cen ter, reported to the advisory committee Wednesday that the federal Office of Econo mic Opportunity (OEO) has officially approved the urban Job Corps program sub mitted by Northern and the University. He noted further that the federal government is "will-, ing to put an urban Job Corps center in Lincoln." The main problem yet to be solved is the space to be used for the center in relation to space needed for other city commercial uses. Advisory committee mem bers indicated that this con flict of uses was one of the ty members" and that as a result, "the University now finds itself in a 'half-million dollar problem', according to Hardin who was quoted in the Feb. 10, 1966, Lincoln Journal. "This half-million dollar problem occurred even though University officials realized that a problem could result from their underestimation of faculty needs which they op enly acknowledged at the time of the budget hearings," the report continues. and understatements were all tools Capp used in answering the questions which were writ ten to him by the audience before he appeared on stage. Free love, Viet Nam, birth control, Allen Ginsberg, Tru man and Eisenhower, books, movie stars, civil rights, demonstrations all were in cluded in his short funny or cynical comments. Some of Capp's comments, descriptions, jokes or under statements in answer to ques tions written beforehand by the audience were: On free love: "The price is right." Opinions of 18 year-old-college students: They are im portant when the students are talking about "puberty or hub caps." Allen Ginsberg: Some peo ple deplore him because he is unbathed, unhousebroken, un American and now "I deplore him simply because he is un talented and has no right to be the other things. Teenagers in England: "Just as revolting as they are here, no difference." main reasons for the advisory committee voting to recom mend that the Northern pro posal for the Job Corps cen ter at the Base be withdrawn. Talks with OEO officials in dicated that the Job Corps may be willing to help with possible new construction at the Base necessary for a Job Corps center, thereby allow ing new areas to be released for use commercially, Grant ham said. Petersen, expressing con cern over communication said, "We have repeatedly told them to come to Lincoln to negotiate with us but they haven't been willing." Grantham was said to have assured him that OEO of ficials would soon be in Lin coln to discuss problems. Petersen has remained firm on the March 15 city deadline by which negotiations must be completed. Grantham said the Job The conclusion of the re port is that since the "situa tion probably will result in a deterioration in the quality of the Unversity's instructional program, as admitted by Vice Chancellor Soshnik" (in a Lincoln Journal interview), the students "will suffer an additional financial burden for decreased instructional benefits." Both Hardin and Soshnik Cont. on Page 3, Col. 1 Pit ;wmriIWS-- On his wooden leg: "If you got a wooden leg, I say enjoy it." On Peanuts: "Never go; too much sex and violence."

Birth control pills: "Threat to the purity of the American college girl." On Doris Day: "I think of her constantly." Johnny Carson: "Average young Nebraskan who makes $12,000 a week." Capp's performance was sponsored by the Nebraska Union talks and topics com mittee. Corps is willing to place the 1,500-man center at LAFB if contract negotiations a r e completed. He said the contract would be for one year with a yearly renewal for four successive years. The five-year pro gram could cost a total of about $40 million. The center would mean about 600 workers with a pay roll of $4 million, an $8 mil lion contract per year and Corpsmen spending about $500,000 a year. In addition, Grantham said the center would provide a trained labor source, voca tional and educational teach, ers and specialized equip ment. After five years, the center could be used as a retraining center for adults, a technical school or a school for the mentally retarded.
