'Pornographic' Literature ...
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.

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."

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

the mood under which future

Speaking at the Greek

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

"One of the most dynam

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

of Economic Development
created by LB 132 creates
three departments for state

To encourage this indus

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

'Ready for Action
"And 24 hours after it is
law, it will begin to go into

chinery now ready to go into

"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

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.
