COlU mmm thursday, October 25, 1973 lincoln, nebraska vol. 97 no. 33 Senator requests debate on '68 NU merger 2fD ( An Omaha senator, taking issue with an article published recently in the American Assoc. of University Professors bulletin, said Wednesday he will publicly debate the UNL professor who wrote the articlo. Sen. David Stahmer said he would like to publicly debate Carroll McKibbin, chairman of UNL's political science department, who authored the article that discussed the political results of the merger of Omaha University and the NU campus. Stahmer said McKibbin wrote subjectively about the issue without knowing the facts. "Not only do I disagree with him, which would be subjective," he said, "but I can produce facts to show he's wrong, which is objective. "McKibbin seems to be saying that we (Omaha senators) are partly responsible for the financial problems at UNL," he said. 'The chief point of his article seems to be that the Omaha senators haven't been cooperative in helping UNL." McKibbin could not be reached for comment Stahmer, a member of the Legislature's Budget Committee, said he had not met with all the other Omaha senators since an article appeared in the Omaha World Hcr.ild last week about McKibbin's report. McKibbin, in his report, writes, "It is still too early to evaluate all of the political implications of the 1968 merger. But one thing is certain at least at this point: the unity that was supposed to have developed between the Omaha and Lincoln delegations in the Legislature in support of public higher education has not yet occurred. "What has developed is considerable competition between tin- two cities over the limited financial resources available to the university system, which has resulted in such items as capital construction priorities being ndulunced' between the Omaha and Lincoln campuses." McKibbin says in the report that it is obvious "the Omaha senators got what they wanted; i.e., the state relieved the city of the financial burden of the local university. The outstate legislators did not suffer the consequences they feared; i.e., the syphoning of large amounts of funds from the state college budget to the state university system and greatly ioci eased appropriations for the universities. "The Lincoln legislators have not yet received what they had anticipated; i.e., a cooperative effort with Omaha legislators in providing laicer appropriations for the university." McKibbin also cites resources available to improve the educational program at UNO. Those sane resources, he claims, have not been evident at UNI Stahmer said that after serving on the Bud'!' .1 Committee three years, "I believe that I should km., what's going on here if anyone should." fm Thx'ta Xi fraternity, in cooperation with Dr. S;m Guinary of KMTV Channel, will sponsor ;i Haunted House Spookorama Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at 1535 R.

The attorney for the Residence Hall Association (RHA) will file a complaint today with Judge Warren K. Urbom in Fedual District Court seeking an end to enforcement of univei :,i ly regulations governing visitation and alcohol in university housing. The attorney, John Stevens Berry, will file the complaint today. RHA announced last week it would file suit in connection with the regulations. According to a statement released earlier by ASUN and R HA, the reason for the lawsuit is to contest the provisions o! visitation, open door and alcoholic beverage policies lo whii h all students must comply. The statement said the students involved were lading deim-d certain rights and privileges and certain protections of the law which are available to any other class of citizens of equal age.
