I Week In Review
State Should Accelerate Crime Effort
Lincoln Senator Harold D. Simpson says
the state should join the federal govern
ment in a stepped-up attack on crime.
Sen. Simpson said his bill establish
ing a law enforcement training center
under the direction of the attorney gen
eral would permit the state to acceler
ate its anti-crime efforts.
The bill, LB547, would utilize facili
ties at the old Lincoln Air Force Base to
provide training for law enforcement of
ficials throughout Nebraska, Simpson
said.
With President Johnson's call for an
expanded federal program against crime
there is "a good possibility" the pro
posed training center would qualify for
a sizable federal grant, he said.
"This center would upgrade law en
forcement In all areas of the state and
would result in better protection for our
citizens," Simpson commented. "It would
also provide peace officers with Infor
mation on the practical effects of Su
preme Court decisions relating to crime."
He said the bill would require all city
and village enforcement officers in Ne
braska to receive certification from the
training center or an approved police
academy by Jan. 1, 1969.
The bill calls for establishment of a
10-member Nebraska law enforcement ad
visory commission to help the attorney
general formulate the training program.
The legislation also would authorize
the hiring of an expert to visit law en
forcement officials to provide consulta
tion on such complicated matters as re
cord keeping and ballistics, Simpson
noted.
A major portion of the costs of the
training center would be offset by enroll
ment fees charged against participating
municipalities, the lawmaker stated.

Walter Rcuther Quits AFL-CIO Post
President Walter Reuther of the AFL
CIO United Auto Workers of America re
signed as a member of the Executive
Council of the AFL-CIO.
The telegram from Reuther's Detroit
headquarters also contained the resigna
tion of all other Auto Workers officials
from all committees of the AFL-CIO.
Reuther did not give up his post as
president of the powerful Industrial Union
Department of the AFL-CIO comprised of
some GO unions with six million mem
bers. Reuther has said in previous attacks
on AFL-CIO President George Meaney's
leadership that he would seek support
through the Industrial Union Department.
He is also arranging for his conven
tion, meeting in Detroit in April, to au
thorize pulling completely out of the
AFL-CIO.
He is carefully refraining from an ad
vance commitment to use such authority.
The authorization alone would escalate
the current tension in the labor move
ment. Reuther's latest move is expected to
be revealed In a long letter to UAW lead
ers. It will set out justifications for Reu
ther's resignation from the AFL-CIO ex
ecutive council.
In Milwaukee, UAW Secretary-Treasurer
Emil Mazey said the UAW has no
immediate plans to withdraw from the
AFL-CIO.
Authority for the UAW to "divorce it
self from the federation would bring the
AFL-CIO closer to the brink of a crack
up than at any other time in its uneasy
12-year marriage.
Labor sources suggest that Reuther
now believes that the only way to stamp
his brand of progressive thinking on un
ionism, civil rights and social welfare
problems is to "go it alone" outside of
the AFL-CIO.

Quake Strikes Colombia
A severe earthquake swept across
the rugged mountains of populous central
Columbia, Thursday, causing heavy
damage and casualties.
The government said at least 35 per
sons were killed and another 100 serious
ly injured. Hundreds of others were in
jured less seriously.
Damage was in the millions of dol
lars. None of the casualties were Amer
ican, according to the U.S. Embassy in
Bogota.
Police reported 25 dead and 40 in
jured on the basis of fragmentary re
ports, but press dispatches said at least
30 had been killed and 100 seriously in
jured. Tens of thousands of persons fled
into the street in panic.
The shock, first recorded at 9:34 a.m.
(CST) on Thursday, lasted approximate
ly two minutes. The Andes Geophysics
Instituts said the force of the quake
knocked needles off seismographic in
struments. The quake trapped thousands of
workers in factories and office buildings
in Bogota. They poured into the streets
from doors and windows in panic.
The government decreed a state of
emergency to coordinate relief work.
Cable office employees set up emergency
transmitters to handle reports of the
quake to the outside world. As they
worked, pieces of roofing and shattered
glass rained on their machines.
The shock was also felt In Ecuador
and Venezuela.

1 Lincoln Voters Defeat Junior College
The junior college issue
In Lincoln was defeated be
cause 55 per cent of the
voters failed to approve the
issue, according to County
Attorney Paul Douglas.
Douglas said he had been
studying the statutes for
the past two or three weeks
and had conferred with the
state attorney general's of
fice before reaching the
decision.
Balloting in the Tuesday
leection showed only 52.32
per cent of the votes cast
in favor of the issue or a
margin of 7,618 to 6,926.
Budget Report
Expected Later
Statehouse sources Indicat
ed Thursday that Gov. Nor
bert Tiemann will probably
not be ready to make a state
ment on the proposed Uni
versity budget or student tui
tion at his press conference
Friday.
The Department of Admin
istrative Services Budget Di
vision has barely begun work
ing on the University's $98.6
million operational budget re
quest, one source said.
In Thursday's paper, the
Daily Nebraskan incorrectly
quoted Chancellor Cilfford
Hardin as stating before the
Student Senate that he ex
pected the governor would
make a statement on Friday
concerning the budget
Later, during the Senate
meeting, ASUN president Ter
ry Schaaf said that the state
ment would not be made Fri
day. Schaaf said Thursday that
he had learned, after talking
to Tiemann's administrative
assistant, Dr. Clayton Yeut
ter, that the statement would
not be made until sometime
next week.
School Superintendent
Dr. Steven N. Watkins ex
pressed s u r p r i s e at the
small turnout, observing
that he had expected the to
tal vote might reach 24,000
to 25,000.
Discussing the narrow
margin favoring the junior
college, he said: "The pro
posal did include many fac
tors that were difficult to
explain without sitting down
with people and answering
questions."
If more people had fully
understood the total issue,
perhaps the vote would
have been stronger for it."
No b o n d issue w a s in
volved in the voting.
The possibility of asking
for a declatory judgment
on the matter in the courts
has not been discussed, ac
cording to School Board
'President Robert Magee.
However, he said, em
phasizing that he spoke
only for himself and not for
the Board, "there will prob
ably be another vote some
time in the future, and it
may be that the technical
ity in the law should be
clarified before that time.
It might be of benefit to
other schools too."
Down the drain for the
present at least will go
plans for the Lincoln Com
munity College to offer
training with college credit
in such areas as machine
technology, electron
ics technology, aviation
technology and hospital
laboratory technicians.
Aslo lost will be the op
portunity for students to
take technology-r elated
courses in academic sub
jects which could lead to an
associate degree or credit
which could be transferred
to other colleges.

California Scrimps;
May Charge Tuition
BERKELEY OBSERVER . . . Philosophy professor Robert Dewey lived near Berk
eley during last semester's political crises.
Dr. Dewey: Berkeley Is
'Amusing, 9 But Chaotic
By Mick Lowe
Junior Staff Writer
A University professor, re
cently returned from, the
University of California at
Berkeley described the
school as "amusing", but
somewhat chaotic.
Dr. Robert Dewey, chair
man of the University phil
osophy department, said
that "for an irresponsible
observer, Berkeley is an
amusing place."
Berkeley has "one of the
finest faculties, the most
liberal administration and
one of the best student bod
ies in the country."
NEWS
OUTLOOK
"Contrary to what one
thinks," Dewey added, "it
makes for educational cha
os." Berkeley first received
nation-wide attention for the
Free Speech Movement two
years ago. It was in the
news again this week be
cause of a student march
upon Sacramento in protest
of the ousting of California
President Clark Kerr.
"Certainly, in recent
months I thought Kerr
was a responsible admini
strator," Dewey said. "But
Reagan couldn't have been
responsible for the votes of
the whole board," he said re
ferring to the 14 to 8 decision
to oust Kerr made by the
Board of Regents.
Dewey also dismisses the
Berkely charge that Kerr
was moved strictly for po
litical reasons. "I don't
think that it could be total
ly laid to the Republicans
trying to oust Kerr so that
they could replace him
with a Democrat."
Ironically, the man that
Berkeley students marched
to defend Thursday is the
same man who they blamed
for restricting student's
rights two years ago.
Dewey said that the de
cision was probably made
to support Kerr on a "less-er-of-two-evlls"
basis.
Student activist groups at
Berkely also seemed to
have troubles in gearing
their protest actions toward
the state government, in
stead of the administration,
Dewey observed.
"As a matter of fact Mar
io Savio, the leader of the
Free Speech Movement
said 'Good riddance of bad
rubbish." when he learned
of Kerr's firing.
But, according to Dewey,
this is not the first time
that Berkeley's radicals
have adopted what seem
contorted allegiances.
"Some of the more ex
treme New Left groups ac
tually considered voting
for Reagan," he said, "in
hopes of provoking some
long-run improvements at
the University of Californ
ia." Although the students
were aware that Reagan
was more conservative than
his, opponent, incumbent
Pat Brown, they hoped
that a confrontation might
result between the state
government and Berkeley,
he said.
The effects of Kerr's ous
ing, combined with Rea
gan's 10 per cent tuition cut
and his freeze on hiring
and salary increases is dif
ficult to determine, accord
ing to Dewey.
"The faculty members I
talked to were reluctant to
make any move for the
coming year," he said.
"Most of them don't be
lieve that the legislature
will go along with Rea
gan." "But if the problems con
tinue next year, some fac
ulty members may go East,

or we hope, to the midwest.
Their present salaries are
above the national average,
but they are also widely
sought," he said.
Dewey said that he was
particularly concerned with
what will happen to Cali
fornia's state college sys
tem. "The state college salar
ies were below the nation
al average before, but they
had some very fine depart
ments. They were hoping to
catch up this year."
Whether or not Berkeley's
student body will succeed
in the long run or not is
difficult to determine at
this point, Dewey said.
"But if the students make
known, not only at Berke
ley but at other campuses
their dissatisfaction, I think
they would have some in
fluences," he concluded.
Fifty Books, $200
Still Unclaimed
Students still holding re
ceipts from the Alpha Phi
Omega book exchange
should contact the Alpha
Phi Omega office in the Ne
braska Union or call Jim
Benton, president of Alpha
Phi Omega.
There are still about 50
books and $200 left un
claimed from the book ex
change which closed last
Friday, Benton said.
For the first time In its
99 year history, the Univer
sity of California may be
forced to levy a tuition fee
on students.
The threatened tuition
charge came about as part
of Gov. Ronald Reagan's
plan to cut the budget and
help the state reduce its fi
nancial obligations.
However Reagan com
mented earlier that he
thought it would be a good
thing for students to pay
some tuition "even if the
state did not need the
money."
The proposed $400 levy
added to the current $220
incidental fee would make
California's tuition the high
est of any state university
in the nation.
Observers speculate that
there are political as well
as fiscal reasons for the
administration's budget
cuts. These include the stu
dent demonstrations at the
Berkeley campus.
However Reagan's direc
tor of finance, Gordon P.
Smith, Insists that It is
merely fiscal expediency.
No one seems to know
what effect of the proposed
budget cuts and tuition
charges will have on the
quality of education at the
University of California.
Dr. Franklin Murphy,
chancellor at UCLA told
regents that a fiscal reduc
tion would cause his cam
pus to immediately reduce
enrollment, curtail student
services and eliminate
night classes.
"I do not intend to pre
side over the liquidation of

Daniel G. Aldrlch Jr., .
chancellor of the Irvine
campus, says he doesn't ..
think the university is ba-
sically in danger.
He adds that he does not
expect the tuition levy and .
budget cut to emerge from
the Legislature in their .
present form. The trial
budget balloons sent up by
the Reagan administration
are being modified now.
Students have protested
the budget cuts and pro
posed tuition charges and
plan to go door-to-door
armed with statistics: the
average annual cost for an
undergraduate to attend the
University of California Is -$1,860.
Some students have said
they might be financially
unable to continue In school
if tuition were charged.
However Dr. Floyd Hoo
ver, former registrar at
the University of Nebraska,
noted that there had been
no falling in enrollment
when tuition was raised at
the University.
He said that while Cali
fornia does not have tuition
the difference In tuition and
fees is "just a matter of
words."
He added that if the
budget were cut it might
be necessary to raise tui
tion to maintain quality.
A key to the solution of
the whole question is the
attitude of the California
legislature and people to
ward their University.
Robert Dewey, Universi
ty professor of philosophy
just returned from Berke
ley, commented that the at
titude at Berkeley is "ex
tremely tolerant" toward
student demonstrations bat
the Los Angeles community
is more conservative.
Insiders say the State
Legislature will balk at any
action that will lead to a
tuition charge. Jesse M.
Unruh, powerful Demo
cratic Speaker of the As
sembly, publicly opposes
tuition.
The regents, who must
make the final decision,
say they will adopt a tui
tion plan only as a last re
sort. A budgetary cut of some ....
sort seems inevitable, but
outside pressures may
force a compromise.
