Panel agrees: 'Welfare needs
A three-member panel grap
pled with the frustrations of
American bureaucracy during
a Time Out discussion on
hunger and poverty in the
Nebraska Union Saturday
afternoon.
"Everybody in this room is a
potential welfare recipient,"
said panel member Barb
Snook, a Lincoln resident who
is on welfare. "Poverty does
not pick and choose who it's
going to hit. It just hits."
Another panel member,
Garnet Larson, professor in the
Graudate School of Social
Work, agreed.
,"Poor people are not
: dependent because they want to
be, but because they re forced
to be." She said that welfare
agencies can control such
things as how long your mother
can visit, or whether your
leaky roof should be fixed.
t k "They can tell you who you
can have in ycur house, when
.they can come, and how late
Hhev can stav." Snook
sajd. "Within thirty days after
you get on welfare, a life plan
sjcjrawn up for you."

bureaucracy becomes
misdirected and coercive when

it begins excluding people from
poverty programs on any basis
other than need. For example,
if a man lives in the house,
welfare checks may be cut off
under present rules.
Bureaucracy has gone too far
when it provides excessive
safeguards against dishonesty
which doesn't exist, Larson said.
"As long as you're poor in
the United States, you cannot
be a full adult under our
present welfare system," she
said.
Anyway, most money
delegated to poverty programs
gets tied up in establishing,,
staffing and administering
welfare programs, according to
Snook. She said that only a
portion of the original alloca
tion finds its way to people in
need.
Panel member Ken
Bordeaux, a Sioux Indian
associated with the Lincoln In
dian Center, affirmed Snook's
notion. "Seventy per cent of all
Indian funds are now spent on
government bureaucrats who
are just so much dead wood on
a reservation."

sociologists, counselors and
lawyers have spoken or will
speak to the group.
Since the course is 200 level,
the majority of students are
juniors and seniors. Majors
from political science, English,
sociology, and others are
represented, Cole said.
In response to Carpenter's
request for "specific reasons,"
Cole commented:
"The existence of homosex
uals in society is a distinct
reality. The nature and
characteristics are generally
unknown and misunderstood.
There is a lot of fear associated
with the concept of homosex-

anything about it and they

Courses on "special groups in
society" like alcoholics, blacks
and homosexuals are needed in
a University, Cole continued.
Because it is designed as only
a one semester course, the
class on homophile studies will
not be taught next semester.
But Cole said as far as he
knew, it would be taught again
next fall.
He said he had no idea what
effect the hearing next week in
Omaha would have on the
course.
"I suppose that's up to the
Board of Regents," he said.
