m VB ! ':fltf: 'V JL Itf IO LT 'stable peace9 theory by CHARLIE HARPSTER Staff Writer Peace, like other desirable but rate commodities, is governed by the oldest economic laws, University of Colorado professor Kenneth Boulding said at a statewide meeting of Nebraskan for Peace (NFP). over the weekend. "There's always been a strong demand for peace," he said, "but it's always been in such short supply. "As an economist, a significant question to me is: How can we reduce the price of peace, how can we get peace cheaper?" BOULDING, A NATIONALLY known economist, addressed the first annual meeting of NFP, held all day Saturday at the Unitarian Church at 63rd and H Street. His analysis of "Peace as a Practicable Priority" involves a world movement toward what he called "stable peace." The early stages of this progression are represented by "stable wars," or periods where wars are a part of life, such as in the history of the American Indian, or in the recent history of Indochina. Next come "unstable Elks critics. . . Continued from Page 1 Human Relations Insight League (HRIL), carried signs asking "Are Regents really against discrimination?" and singling out the five Regents who are members of the Elks Club. "I COULD RESIGN easily and hardly miss the Elks Club," Schwartzkopf said. "But the only way to make changes is from within. Walking along carrying a sign is not going to change anything. "Everybody's discriminated against," he added. "I'd like to join the Lincoln Country Club but I can't afford to. You have to take what you have in this life and do what you can with it." Regent J. G. Elliott of Scottsbluff said the protesters "didn't bother me. I had almost forgotten about them." Elliott said his membership in the Elks Club didn't mean he Vas a racist. "I've been a lifelong member," he said. I joined because of all the good things the Elks do around the community, like their clinics for disabled children." MEANWHILE, HRIL spokesman Tom Headley said members of that organization would begin picketing the Elks Club, Eagles Lodge and Moose Lodge Monday during the noon and supper hours. The pickets will protest what they feel is racial discrimination on the part of these private clubs. Headley said the picketing would last an "indefinite" number of days. Regents Robert Prokop of Wilber and Kermit Wagner of Schuyler are also listed members of the Elks Club, but they were unavailable for comment Sunday. Prokop said after the Saturday Regents meeting that his membership in the Elks Club has lapsed because he hasn't paid his dues. wars," or wars relieved occasionally by periods of peace. "Unstable peace" follows, with periods of peace interrupted occasionally by war. THE FINAL STAGE is "stable peace," in which war is not an instrument, nor even a consideration, in relations between countries. The United States has yet to reach this stage, he said: "Somewhere in Washington there is probably a file, covered with 80 years of dust perhaps, that describes the procedures for the invasion of Canada by the United States." He said a stable peace may be attained through the work of world organizations, such as the international postal union. But since all of their budgets put together cannot even match that of the Ford Foundation, he said, the price of peace may not be paid for some time. "PERHAPS THE BEST way to achieve peace is to find something for the United Nations to tax," he said.

He was born in Liverpool, England, and received bachelor's and master's degrees from Oxford University. Monday at 8 p.m. in the Nebraska Union, Boulding will talk on "How Things go From Bad to Worse: The Theory of Deteriorating Systems." FORMER NEBRASKA GOVERNOR Frank Morrison was among the more than 150 guests from several areas of Nebraska attending the meeting. Morrison said he came to the meeting because "since I was in Asia, nearly three years ago, I have become convinced that our policy in Asia needs reevaluation. "If it is morally wrong, the war should end. I am interested in people who believe this, and who want to actively move in that direction." Faculty: Regents violated freedoms by MARSHA BANGERT Staff Writer The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences began its special meeting Friday by endorsing six resolutions pertaining to academic freedom and ended it by charging the Administration and Regents with violating principles of academic freedom in the Stephen L. Rozman case. In the interval, the faculty indefinitely tabled another resolution which expressed "strong disapproval" of the Regents' action in firing Rozman and heard several motions to adjourn. THE SPECIAL MEETING, lasting two hours, was called by Arts and Sciences Dean Melvm D. George "to consider some resolutions dealing with the issues raised" by the Rozman case. All seven resolutions endorsed by the college faculty Friday are expected to be presented to the Faculty Senate Tuesday. Shortly after the meeting was called to order at 3:30 p.m. by George, Wendell L. Gauger, chairman of the botany department, introduced six resolutions dealing with academic freedom, faculty disciplinary cases and procedures for faculty committees.. Five of the resolutions were endorsed quickly on near-unanimous votes. THE FIVE RESOLUTIONS:-Reaffirm academic freedom as explained in the Arts and Sciences Handbook. Recognize an administrator's right to formulate charges in any disciplinary case. Ask that complete charges be given to faculty committees investigating disciplinary cases. Request that any fact-finding committee receives a clear mandate, that due process be followed and that any report be used objectively. Reaffirm that Senate committees can set their rules of procedure. The sixth resolution, dealing with discussion among the Administration, the Faculty and the Regents, was amended twice. One amendment was also amended. AS FINALLY ADOPTED', the resolution calls for discussions among the groups "with the ultimate aim of the clarification and ratification of the principles pertaining to the role of the Faculty in the University community." Melvin Lyon, associate professor of English, then introduced a resolution which expressed "strong disapproval" with the Regents in the Rozman case. R. Neale Copple, director of the School of Journalism, moved to indefinitely postpone the motion "to avoid a prejudicial action of the part of this faculty." Copple reasoned that the resolution, if acted on, might prejudice Rozman's court case against the Regents. SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION to Copple's motion, William J. Wayne, associate professor of geology, expressed frustration that he had not had a chance in faculty meetings to vote on a resolution which directly expressed an opinion on the Regents' Turn to Page 6 Sumstir Jobs in Esjropo A new twist to the solution of summer jobs for college students has been announced by EUROJOB, affiliated with the American Institue for Foreign Study.
