Law Student Files
District Court Suit
Dennis Winkle, University
law student, has filed a $48,
000 suit in U.S. District
Court alleging his constitu
tional rights, privileges and
immunities were violated by
Lincoln police officers.
Winkle also asks that the
defendants be permanently
prevented from impairing
rights and immunities under
similar' circumstances as al
leged in his complaint.
Defendents in the case are
Officers Bob Myers, Ronald
Brnder, Gilbert Evans, Police
Chief Joe Carroll and the
city of Lincoln.
The charges come as t h e
result of an investigation Feb.
17. Winkle said he was rid
ing in a car when it was
stopped by Officer Bruder at
about 3 a.m.
Winkle said that the driv
er was asked to produce his
driver's license and that Bru
der asked for identification
from toim.
When he refused to produce
identification, Winkle alleges
he was ordered to accompany
Bruder to the police station.
He said Bruder would not
make any statement about
the reason he was being
stopped.
At the police station, Wink
le alleges he was told to sit
down and "shut up" by Of
ficer Evans though he asked
to be informed of the charges
against him or to be permit
ted to leave or make a tele
phone call.

Cancer Specialist
Wilt Speak Here
To smoke or not to smoke;
that is the question. By the
time most students are col
lege sophomores this question
has been solved, either ignor
antly or indifferently by their
own decision or the influence
of their friends. But the mat
ter still needs dicussion.
Dr. Jerry Lilly, specialist
in cancer surgery and diag
nosis, will speak on April 4
on this threatening problem
of cancer and the cigarette.
As the American Cancer
Society point? out, there is a
need to relay to all smokers
and potential smokers the of
ten unknown relationship be
tween smoking and one of the
nation's primary killers
cancer.
The consequences involved
in smoking seem trivial until
a student realizes that for
every one non-smokex dying
of cancer there are ten smok
ers falling victim to the di
sease. Many students also are ig
then produced the identifica
tion. Myers also threatened to
turn his name over to Uni
versity officials and the dean
of the law college, according
to W'inkle.
Winkle alleges he was held
in custody for two hours but
was never booked on any
charge and was not afforded
an opportunity to have pVob
able cause of his detention de
termined by a magistrate
though one was accessible.
He alleges he was deprived
of state and federal constitu
tional rights and privileges
against unreasonable searches
and seizures, not to be com
pelled to be a witness against
himself, to assistance of coun
sel and to be informed of the
nature and cause of accusa
tions against him.
Carroll and the city are
cited as having control and
jurisdiction over the defend
ant officers and are asked to
be enjoined from permitting
or instructing officers to de
prive the plaintiff of his
rights and immunities.
Judgement for $48,000 is
asked against Bruder, Myers
and Evans together with costs
of the action.

norant of the fact that if the
present smoking trend contin
ues, one million of them may
expect to die of lung cancer
before they reach the age of
70.
Most smokers start smok
ing before they reach 20 as
a recent study indicates. With
this early smoking tendency
come the tendency to inhale
more and smoke more in lat
er life.
What effect has this on the
college student? Cigarette
smoke has been found to
weaken the lung's natural
defenses and provide condi
tions for cancerous growth,
development arl finally des
truction. The earlier the
smoking habit is formed, the
greater the danger to adults
and to college students.
The need to educate smok
ers concerning the cigarette's
relationship with cancer is
fast becoming a national concern.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Tbl Is (he sec
ond In a series of eight background
articles outlining the permanent state
wide Educational Television Network
now being proposed for Nebraska.
The first harvest was pret
ty small, but Nebraskans
know a good crop when they
see it.
In 1960 the new crop was
Educational Television (ETV).
In May of that year, it was
planted for the first time, with
the official corporate forma
tion of the non-profit Nebras
ka Council for Educational
Television, Incorporated
(NCET).
There have been changes
since then. When the council
began, it included only six
school systems, the State De
partment of Education, the
University's Teachers Colleere
and Extension Division, and
NU's Lincoln television out
let. KUON-TV.
Today, the council is serv
ing a total of 34 Nebraska
school systems. And the ctod
has turned into a bonus one:
classroom television instruc
tion
The tkee-year growth of
ETV has been remarkable. It
has also been voluntary. The
state's school systems want
ETV, for a reason that's hard
to dispute. As a supplement
to regular classroom activity,
it broadens the scope of in
struction and upgrades the
education of the students. -
If the reasons for the growth
of ETV are simple, its meth
ods of operation fall into the
same category. At the begin
ning of an academic year,
each council-member school
pays a flat membership fee
of $300, regardless of size or
location: At this point, one of
ETV's strongest points, local
control, enters the picture.
Long before school begins,
the member systems gather
for the first in a series of
frequent joint meetings held
throughout the school year.
Here, the courses to be taught
and the actual ETV teachers
are determined, along with
the timing of broadcasts to
fit individual classroom sched
ules. This done, additional costs
to each school are set for the
year on a per-pupil ratio,
based on the number of pro
grams used from kindergart
en through . the 12th grade.
Current charge: $1.50 per pu
pil, with the same rate al
ready set for next year.
Ballroom Is Recital Setting
The University's depart
ment of music will present a
faculty recital of chamber
music tomorrow at 7:30 p.m.
in the ballroom of the Student
Union.
Violinists will be Emmanu
el Wishnow, professor of vio
lin, and Arnold Schatz, assist-

This all-important local
control is then carried one
step further. Representative
classroom teachers from the
member schools are sent to a
summer workshop, where the
content of each course is
carefully worked out with the
television teachers them
selves. Also on hand at the
workshop are representatives
of the State Department of
Education and the University
Teachers College.
Following the workshop,
study guides for teachers are
printed and sent to the
schools. These guides outline
each ETV course, indicate
the content of each program
and provide suggested class
room activity before and af
ter the actual video lesson.
As a supplement to the
guide, the NCET provides a
utilization consultant, who
later works directly with
teachers in improving their
use of ETV.
The final step is then taken
by each school, when it de
cides for itself just how much
of the ETV package will be
used, and how.
And what does all this ac
complish? For the students, it
helps them accomplish a lot.
In Grand Island, where re
search studies also were con
ducted last year, Educational
Television had some notable
impact on pupil achievement,
Gerald Bryant, the school's
elementary coordinator, said
it this way: "Remarkable
growth has taken place in
arithmetic and science. It's ob
vious that ETV has provided
an excellent contribution of
enrichment, and has had
some very positive effects on
pupils."
Launching the coun
cil's ETV in Nebraska was a
single station: KUON-TV in
Lincoln. But with a limited
reception area, it wasn't alone
long. Too many outstate
schools wanted the program.
As a stop-gap solution, the
council constructed three
small relay-system transmit
ters at York, Giltner and
Heartwell.
Later, ETV got an added
boost from commercial sta
tions. In Omaha, Scottsbluff
and Holdrege, part-time ar
rangements were made to
broaden the council's cover
age of a limited number of
programs.
ant professor of music. The
viola will be played by Louis
Trzcinski, assistant professor
of music. Playing the cello
will be Priscilla Parson, as
sistant professor of music;
and pianist will be Audun
Ravnan, associate professor of
music.
'
Despite its rapid growth, the
Educational Television crop
is still far from being har
vested by all the students in
Nebraska. The current coun
cil program, already unable
to cope with the growing de
mand for ETV, is also ham
pered with reception prob
lems and designed to serve
only temporary needs.
But a solution to the prob
lem has been found. It is a
permanent, statewide Educa
tional Television network.
Now being considered by the
legislature, it offers a bounti
ful harvest in education not
teachers and parents as well.
The new crop is past the
experimental stage. It will
grow anywhere in Nebraska,
and help Nebraskans grow
with it.
