World in Revolution Conference features criminal, social justice by Carol Strasser Among those activities under attack for use of mandatory student fees is the World in Revolution Conference. This year's conference, entitled Criminal and Social Justice in America, is scheduled for March 6-16. The Conference . committee is attempting to have a member of the United States Supreme Court and Congress along with Gov. J. James Exon at the opening convocation, according to Conference Chairman Dennis Berkheim. Major events of the Conference also will be presented at the East Campus Union, he said. The Conference is expected to end with a convocation on Future Justice in American Society on East Campus featuring blacks, women, conservatives and Chicanos, Berkheim said. For the first time, plays will be presented at a World In Revolution Conference, Berkheim said, and the number of films will be expanded from past conferences. Included in the conference are concerts, speakers, workshops and an Indian Pow Wow. . Programming for the Conference has involved representatives from Indian, black, Chicano and women's groups which haven't been well represented in past conferences, Berkheim continued. To the charge that the conferences lean toward the left politically, Berkheim said conservative groups, such as Young Americans for Freedom, have been involved in planning this year's conference. The first four days of the conference will focus on criminal justice, with lawyers, prisoners, corrections officials and members of the University and Lincoln's legal system among the speakers. The next four days will focus on social justice beginning with a Third World Convocation. A Chicano Ballet, Indian Pow Wow, poetry reading and concerts are tentatively scheduled. There probably will be an admission charge for the concerts scheduled at night but the speakers will be free, Berkheim said. Although no speaker contracts have been signed, he said the committee has been fairly successful in getting commitments from speakers to come to the conference for free or for traveling expenses. The conference was allocated about $2,600 fru.ii ASUN and additional funds from Faculty Convocations. Berkheim said. The Conference also was allocated about $6,500 from the Nebraska Union Program Council, about five per cent of UPC funds, according to Hal Smith, assistant director of Union programs. The conference committee is attempting to find funds from sources such as the Nebraska Bar Association, state political parties, student organizations and the American Civil Liberties Union, Berkheim said. Although planning for the conference is in the students' hands Berkheim said he has been working closely with iterim Chancellor C. Peter Magrath, Hal Smith and Allen Bennett, Nebraska Union director.
