r dailu monday, October 1, 1973 lincoln, nebraska vol. 97 no. 19 Symposium to examine Argentine-U.S. relationship RHA committee to study visitation RHA continues to work on student dorm visitation by forming a Visitation Committee to study the matter, according to RHA President Carolyn Grice. Three weeks ago RHA executives met with dormitory presidents to discuss the Board of Regents' extension of visitation hours from six to 12 hours on Saturdays. Most dorms at that time agreed not to honor the extension, as one RHA executive said, "to give both parents and the regents a different view of the visitation situation." Each dorm president now will appoint a representative to serve on the committee, which will have its first organizational meeting at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Women's Residence Hall 106. Originally, RHA was to draw up a new visitation proposal to present to the regents Oct. 12, but decided it didn't have enough time to do an adequate job, Grice said. By Tarn Mehuron In light of the recent election of Juan Peron as president of Argentina, the unprecedented symposium at UNL Thursday and Friday concerning Argentine-U.S. relations in the 60s will be given greater impetus. Although most of the symposium will be devoted to the two countries' relations in the 60s, the last session will concentrate on" prospects for the future. The symposium, which features international scholars and government officials, will be in the Nebraska Union. According to Roberto Esquenazi-Mayo, director of the UNL Institute for International Studies and chairman of the symposium, the two-day session will examine the cultural, economic and political aspects influencing the Argentine-U.S. relationship. "The timing of the conference increases the symposium's importance," the director said, "because of the recent developments in the Argentine government and the political situation in other Latin American countries." He said that because this is the fin.;, symposium of its kind in the U.S., there is a possibility of national television coverage. Esquenazi-Mayo said there is a tremendous interest in the conference among students in the International Studies Institute. Students majoring in Latin American studies, Spanish and history have been planning the symposium since the end of last year, according to Pat Keller, a student in the institute who helped plan the symposium. Esquenazi-Mayo said that besides learning about the two countries' relationship, he is hopeful the students will get to know the speakers. "The speakers are interested in meeting the students," the director said. To increase the student-speaker exchange, there will be no set luncheon program, thus leaving more time for discussion with a question and answer period after the sessions, he said. Faculty members from Arizona, Washington and Iowa universities as well as Creighton University students, will be attending the symposium, Esquenazi-Mayo said. Raul Estrada-Oyuela, secretary for cultural affairs, will be here from the Argentine Embassy. The symposium will begin at 9 a.m. Thursday with UNL Chancellor James Zumberge's welcoming address, followed by two sessions on cultural relations. Donald Yates, Spanish professor at Michigan State University, will talk on U.S. writers living in Argentina from 1960 to 1970. Disct ang Argentine music in America will be Jan Orrego-Salas, director of the Lai in American Music Center at Indiana University. Argentine art in the United States will be discussed by Jose Gomez-Sicre, head of the Organization of American States (OAS) technical unit on visual arts and crafts. The . . .orriing cultural session will close with a discussion of Argentine literature and its effect in the U.S. by Gregory Rabassa, professor of Romance languages at Oueen: Collegc-City University of New York.

"I feel it's a duty to bring internationalism here to interested students," Esquenazi -Mayo said. He said that while students in New York City have an international education at their fingertips l;caure of the United Nations, UNL has to try harder to bring the world's cultures to students. UNL thefts eclipse 1 972 rate By Vince Boucher Larceny from automobiles on campus during the first month of school has doubled, compared to the same period a year ago, according to Gale Gade, chief of Campus Security. Other campus crime rates have remained about the same, he said. In Septemlx;r 1972 six cases of theft from automobiles were reported, according to campus security records. As of Sept. 24, 1973, 14 cases had been reported. Gade predicted that Septemlxii total would probably reach 16. Burglaries within the dormitories have also increased, according to campus security records. Five have been reported so far, compared with none in September 1972. Larceny in the dormitories has been reported eight times the same rate as a year ago. The total property loss this fall is $2,000. Gade said the difference between burglary and larceny is that ihe former involves forced entry. Forced entry can be as slight as twisting a doorknob, he said. "Theft is our biggest problem," Gade said. He said that students are careful of their possessions generally but often leave their dormitoty doors unlocked. Gade said that most people arrested for campus crimes are not students. "Out of every 10 arrested in one or two months, probably six or seven do not belong to the university," he said. "We feel good about our program -that in a school this large we are able to keep crime down," Gade said. "Compared to a couple of years ago, when our staff was low, we have created a pretty good preventative atmosphere on campus." Gade credited ihe dormitory patrol, student security officers and increased patrolling of parking lots as the major crime deterrant efforts. "Students should lie made aware of campus occurences," Gade said. "If we can prevent criminal activity, then this is what it is all about." Larceny in university buildings, has decreased this year, Two cases were reported in September 1973, compared to nine in September 1972. Miscellaneous larcenies, such as stealing pop from the Nebraska Union, have remained the same. Two cases were noted for this September, as compared to three last. year. There have been no reported incidents of assault, rap; oi indecent exposure in 1973, fie said. In September 192 four incidents of assault were repor ted. Bicycles thefts h.ive dec leased from four reported in September 1972 to one last month. Jpii'f; - 1 -i t 1
