"Our most important interest is in getting the youth here," said McMahon. "We need young people who are not afraid to voice their opinion and can act as counselors for those of us over SO." About 20 per cent of those invited to the conference are o' high school and college age, he said. The conference took shape during a recent drug com mentary on a local radio sta tion. McMahon and members of the station got together and presented their idea for a con ference to Gov. Norbert T. Tiemann. The governor then appointed , McMahon to organize the conference- "We must all recognize the problem of drugs," McMahon said. "They will continue to grow unless the problem is ex amined and brought out into the open." The first day of the con ference will center around speakers; the second day on discussion groups. Dr. Daniel X. Freedman, chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University o' Chicago, is the only out of state speaker scheduled. He is a graduate of Harvard. Other speakers include Edward B. Roche, assistant professor of pharmacy at NU, and Dr. Emmet M. Kenney, a psychiatrist at the Nebraska Psychiatric Institute in Omaha. Representing the news media will be Lee Terry of KETV in Omaha and John Hanlon of Lincoln's KFOR radio. They will look into the types of pro grams that are being initiated throughout the state to combat drug usage. On the second day of the conference, Lancaster County Attorney Paul L. Douglas and Mrs. Calista Cooper Hughes, Director of the Comprehensive Health Planning for Nebraska will lead several workshop groups.. Batchelder in governor's race An admitted foe of state spending, especially University expenditures, State Sen. Clifton B, Batchelder of Omaha, entered the Republican race for the nomination for governor this week. The 60-year-old printing company president, whose daughter Anne attends the University of Nebraska, said at a press conference that the whole complexion of state government should change. He said his candidacy will force all gubernatorial candidates to face up to the main issue overtaxation and overspen ding. THE WORLD War II combat veteran is often considered the Unicameral's most conservative voice in fiscal and social legislative proposals. He sponsored the so-called unlimited self-defense bill during the 1969 .session of the Unicameral. That bill was passed over the veto of Gov. Norbert T. Tiemann, Batchelder's only opponent so far in the Republican primary. The Omaha senator has also opposed what he calls excessive spending for the University of Nebraska. Batchelder favors passage of constitutiosal spending limits. The limits would deprive elected govern ment officials of the political advantage of doling out new programs to special in terest groups, he said. Tiemann has reserved comment on Batchelder's candidacy. The governor said he knows what Batchelder opposes, but he wants to know what Batchelder favors.
