More Arrests Made At Heroic For 'Possession, Intent To Sell' By Mick Lowe Junior Staff Writer Lancaster County law en forcement officials arrested two more Heroic Book Store employees Tuesday afternoon on charges concerning porno graphic literature. Karis Geier, 21, of 1841 Perkins, and Jeanelle Meyers, 19, of Sandoz Hall were charged with "possession and intent to sell pornographic lit erature," according to Lan caster County Deputy Attor ney William Blue. Arrests Blue, accompanied by two Lincoln plainclothesmen en tered the store at 4:10 p.m. After selecting four paper back novels, and three maga zines, Blue approached the counter. "I'd like to buy these," Elue said. "YouH have to wait until Mr. Steen comes back," Miss Myers replied. Steen, the proprietor of the Heroic, had gone to his other store. "I want to purchase these," Blue insisted. "Mr. f.teen told us not to sell them to you," Miss My ers said. Blue and the two plain clothesmen conferred, and Blue made a phone call. Blue Teturned from the telephone, and asked Miss Myers if she was in charge. Cather sophomore, are run ning for the executive posi tion that was vacated when Nancy Martson ,the previous ly elected vice-president, was declared ineligible by the Inter-Dormitory Coordinating Committee (IDCC) for insuf ficient length of residency in University housing. Improving Housing All candidates supported Improving the residence halls and instigating several new proposals. Canarsky, the present Abel Sandoz Intramural Director, said, "There is nothing trite about such matters as coed visiting hours, graduated dormitory rates and adminis trative relations. These items should serve to underscore the relevance of the IDA to all dormitory residents." Dvorak, a Cornhusker marching band member, felt coed visiting hours, Clear-cut housing policies and better student parking facilities were several areas that should be explored. Quarter System "Above all, I would like to 1967 "A $50 deposit is cheap insurance for class space," he said. "Without this deposit, however, we can't pull any class cards for the student." By the end of April, Chatfield estimated, 80 percent of the undergraduate students, ex cluding next year's freshmen, will be registered. "We then send course request lists to de partment instructors telling them how many students have registered for their particular course. This gives the department a chance to add sections and level off classes." When extra class sections are added, stu dents are added to the class by a priority basis. "This means we go back to the time the student first submitted his registration," Chat field said. "A computer marks the student's card indicating when the student registered. So, again, getting into an extra class section depends on early registration." Cards will not be pulled for students regis tering after April 14 until those who pre registered have been processed. "In the future we may go to a system where the student fills in his own computer card by blacking in a space by the course he wishes to take," Chatfield said. "This is something like many computerized tests now given where a student fills in answer blanks with a pencil." Such a registration process could handle up to 90 per cent of the students by machine, he said. "We may go to this process as early as second semester of next year," Chatfield said. "We both are," she replied, pointing to Miss Gier. Blue asked again to be waited upon, and Miss Meyers again refused. "But these are normally for sale, aren't they?" Elue asked. Miss Myers admitted that they were. "Then let's go," Blue said. The girls were taken to the City Jail for questioning and booking. Tuesday's arrests bring to a total of three the number of arrests at the Heroic. Mi chael Kane was arrested Sun day for selling pornographic literature. "William B. Steen, who op ened the Heroic Book Store at the beginning of last se mester, was recently convict ed on six counts of "possess ing and advertising porno graphic literature." The county hoped that sales of "pornographic literature" would be stopped by the court decision, according to Paul Douglas, but when sales con tinued, he decision was made to arrest the Heroic em ployees. Illegal Action? Steen called Sunday's ac tion "illegal," and said Tues day's arrests were another in a long series of what Steen terms "harassment" by city and county officials. "On Monday or Tuesday of see the University adopt a quarter system," he said, "as students could devote more time to each subject in stead of sniffing off one or two subjects when taking 17 or 18 hours." Ridenour, Cather IDA member, desires improved residence hall facilities in areas such as individual rooms, recreation and study areas, meal and maid service and maintenance. He also supports a fresh man orientation program, the coed-visiting proposal, in creased social and education al activities, leadership semi nars, improved faculty-student relations and a closer survey of the student assist ant's role. IDA 'Influential' All agree that the IDA can become an influential organi zation in the near future. Canarsky said this year will determine whether future IDA assemblies will operate "under a stigma of failure or will strive to match an il lustrious list of accomplishments." last week policemen entered my store and started taking pictures," Steen told the Daily Nebraskan. "They entered the store without a search warrant.," and refused to leave when I asked them to. They pro ceeded to ask my employees for their names and address es, threatening them with ar rest, if they refused to com ply," Steen stated. Kane, who was released on hond Monday, was working in Heroic No. 2 Tuesday af ternoon. Kane agreed -with Steen's "harassment" statement, ob serving that two 6ign6 which had been placed in front of the store at 12th and N had been removed by the city for "obstructing the sidewalk." Volunteers Needed He is also seeking volun teers who will '"stand outside the stoi e, reading nudist mag azines." About 200 are need ed, Steen said. The "'demon stration" will take place as soon as Steen has rounded up the needed volunteers. All this has prompted Steen to put up a new sign in front of the store at 12th and Q: "Illegal harassment by Pub lic Officials is a regular -occurrence here," and it's a cinch, says Steen, that this is one sign that will be seen for a long, long time. I . ! Rollie Dvorak Dvorak added the IDA needs dynamic leadership in its council and personnel and "with each dormitory having its individual personality in the organization, it has the potential to achieve many of the long-desired goals of the residents." University of Nebraska Tiemann: Nebraska 's Future At Stake in Next Two Years By Judy Manar Senior Staff Writer Nebraka's future as a state will be determined by the actions of the state legislature and citizens in the next two years, according to Gov. Nor bert T. Tiemann in a speech to 150 students in the Nebras- Greek Week Daily Plans Announced Bob Bartee, Greek Week chairman, said that the Greek system is founded on ideals and that Greek Week offers the most opportune time for the system to show by realis tic means it is sincerely try ing to attain these idealistic ends."

The winning name was an nounced on the first day of Greek Week. The name, Fe lix, derived from the word felicitus meaning happy, was appropriately submitted by Wayne Moles, Theta Xi, who drew the character. Ridenour said the IDA of fers an excellent opportunity for residents to make their presence felt and opinions heard and "with a set of posi tive programs and enthusias tic leaders, the IDA can be come one of the most influ ential and important organi zations on campus." They all felt that the role of vice-president, as advisor and coordinator of IDA com mittees, is an important posi tion as according to Dvorak, "the committees are the life of the association." The candidates had varying outlooks on how the IDA's success will be achieved. IDA 'Resolute' Canarsky said "the IDA must be resolute in every ac tion it undertakes for its ac complishments, or lack of ac complishments will furnish the mood under which future IDA assemblies will oper ate." Dvorak added that "the success of the IDA will be measured not only by bene fits to the individual resident, L3 " ka Union ballroom Tuesday night. Speaking at the Greek Week convocation sponsored by Panhellenic and Interfra ternity Council, Tiemann stressed the role of the stu dent in state government. Voting Age Lower "Now that the legislature has passed a bill lowering the voting age to 19, it is up to Nebraska's young people to influence the state's vot ers," he said. "One of the most dynam ic forces in the state is its young people. The people of the state must give you a chance to step into the policy-making mechanism." Citing other legislative ac tion indicating a change in Nebraska attitudes, Tiemann named the decision to change to daylight savings time on April 30 "a step in keeping up with progress." Economic Development "Another area of innova tion is in economic develop ment. The new Department of Economic Development created by LB 132 creates three departments for state development An industrial upsurge is coming that's going tc tart in Omaha and spread westward throughout the state." To encourage this indus trial development Tiemann said, the governor's educa tion program stresses research development. "How can we get industry in the state without re search? And we must have State Senator Assails Slow Action On Budget By Julie Morris Senior Writer A state senator Tuesday assailed t h e Legislature's Budget Committee for mov ing too slowly on the Univer sity's budget. In a floor speech, Sen. Ter ry Carpenter said the budget committee members should "stop fighting among them selves" and report a budget bill for the University and the state colleges to the floor. "If you (senators) want more money Lor the Univer sity get that bill in here". Carpenter said. Budget Committee Chair man Richard Marvel said later that the committee will "sometime in May," possibly by the middle of that month. "We're moving as last as we can," Marvel said. He said the committee's work on the schools' budgets is s i weeks ahead of the time in the "last Legislative session. Carpenter said he would ac cept using Gov, Norbert Tie mann 's budget figures rather than waiting for the Commit tee's recommendations just to get the issue before the senators. but also by how much the resident is willing to active ly participate in IDA's pro grams, for without support from member dormitories, IDA has no power or pur pose." "The single most important responsibility of the IDA is to present its views to the ad ministration," Ridenour said, "We have talked for over a year now; it is time we be gin to move towards the realization of our dreams." Canarsky, an English ma jor from Rosalie, is running for the second time after be ing defeated earlier by Miss Martson for the vice-presidency. A member of Phi Eta Sig ma, a freshman honorary soc iety, Canarsky is chairman of the Abel-Sandoz Food Com mittee. Dvorak, a mathematics ma jor from Clarkson, is present ly Selleck vice-president and a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a professional mu research in the engineering field especially." New Educational Program Tiemann explained that an other new educational pro gram stresses "an education al excellence that is vital to aprogressive, develop ing state." "Students were paying for 38 per cent of their educa tion before our new budget. Under the new budget, they're still paying 38 per cent." Tiemann said that the Uni versity budget proposed by University's administra tion would have been impos sible to pass through the Unicameral. "A 91 per cent increase suggested by the administra tion is almost unthinkable," he said. Workable Budget "My budget can go there. It can get through the legis lature because it is workable and can do the job." With an emphasis on re search and raising instruc tor's salaries, the program would provide a necessary step toward achieving excel lence in the state's educa tional program, he said. On the elementary educa tion level, the budget pro vides for imporvements in elementary education institu tions. Speculating on the future of what Tiemann called "One of my most controversial pieces of legislation," he said, "I can tell you that one week Carpenter made the budget comments while he was speaking on a bill relating to the state head tax. Carpenter indicated he wees a general state policy toward financing state education merging in the revenue and education bills now before the Unicameral. He said he would favor putting off discussion of all such related bills until all could be read and a final vote taken on each on the same day. Some of the bill's Carpen ter was referring to include LB377, the state combination sales-income tax measure, LB49U, to give state aid to junior colleges, and LB736, a bill providing for a merger of the University and Omaha University. Also at issue in the Uni cameral is a move to grant state aid to public schools, a measure Carpenter believes is also part of the emerging policy. Carpenter said that with the consideration of bills to aid public schools and junior colleges the Legislature is sic fraternity and Gamm Lambda, a band honorary. Ridenour, a business ad ministration major from Ra venna, belongs to Phi Eta Sigma and the symphonic band. He is a former Cather floor secretary and vice president and served as Ca ther Hall activities chairman this year. Brian Ridenour VOL 90, NO. 83 from today LB 377 providing for a combined sales-income tax will be law." 'Ready for Action "And 24 hours after it is law, it will begin to go into effect, through sales tax ma chinery now ready to go into action." "We now have 33 solid votes in the legislature," he explained, "and these votse will put into law a bill that is one of the finest and most far reaching pieces of legis lature Nebraska has ever had." Tiemann stressed that tha revenue-raising bill is not a stop gap measure, but one that will provide a broad tax base for the next 100 years. "I have been criticized, he said, "because I have been doing exactly what I said I would do during my cam paign. Some of my friends thought I was kidding during my campaign. Well, I wasn't. I hope this will set a prece dent for future political ac tion." 'Conservative Republican' The governor described himself as a "conservative republican" trying to help the state make progress" by making an investment in its people. This investment is LB377." Considering the future of Nebraska, tiemann said, "The years 1967-69 are the critical years for the state. What we do in these years will have a bearing on Ne braska in 2067." ''admitting for the first time the state's responsibility" t provide for local education in the state. The senator predicted that the Unicameral would appro priate money to the junior colleges and funds to the four state colleges and the Uni versity as well "You're going to give it t them and they're going ta come back for more." Car penter said. LB490, to appropriate $730 per credit hour in state funds to nine junior colleges and Omaha University, was op posed by Sen. Clifton Batch elder. Batchelder moved to kill the bill during debate on it Tuesday but the motion failed 25-10 with 14 senators not rating. Batchelder said ha opposed the biH because the state would be handing out money without keeping some controls over it and urged senators to put off approval of the measure until the next session. A similar state aid to juni or colleges biU failed in the 1UC5 session. H Vr
