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. iic oam iic was uii eaicilcu i by Myers that he would be. kept overnight if he did not pr o d u c e identification. He 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. Seat Belt Tickets The Innocents Society will begin selling tickets tomor row in conjunction with their program to outfit all campus cars with seat belts. The tickets will sell for $5, and may be pur chased from anv Innocent. 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.

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.
