Professor
refuses
to debate
Answering an Omaha senator's debate challenge, Carroll
McKibbin, chairman of UNL's political science department, said
he does not think there is anything 'o debate.
Sen. David Stahmer said last week he would like to publicly
debate McKibbin, who wrote1 an article in the American Assoc. of
University Professors bulletin that -liv ns:ed the political results
of the Omaha University NU campus rueiger.
'The man is entitled to his opinion," McKibbin said. "I do
think he misinterpreted the slant of the article. He concluded
something I never intended."
Stahmer had said McKibbin made Omaha senator;, Icok as if
they had not been cooperative in helping UiML.
"The study was a reflection of a number of things," McKibbin
said. "UNO started from a lower base than UNI.. In terns of
trying to get equity, it has been a little better off."
He said that this was not the focus of the study.
"The focus said the arrangement had not worked out as it was
originally planned because so far an alliance has not been
established between Omaha and Lincoln for higher education."

October 29, 30, 31, 1972.
A clear winter chill had calmed the dry fall winds.
Temperatures lingered in the 40s. A trace of snow,
the first of the season, met then melted into the
earth.
Mark Boyle doesn't remember the weather. It was
only his second day back in Omaha after three yeais
in Okinawa as a Chinese linguist for the Army
Security Agency.
It must have rained, he guessed. Anyway, the
streets were slick at 10 p.m. Oct. 31 when he took a
friend's 1963 Econovan for a drive'. He decided to go
see Larry Boyle's new apartment. I any, Mark's
brother, was soon to bo manicd.
The van caught the back fendei of a parked c, li
near 44th and California streets. The spinning pinned
Mark under the seat. He still walks with crutches and
a full brace on his left leg because of it
Mark is one of 300 persons injured during the last
three days of October last year on Nebraska roads.
Two people were killed.
In dollars, according to calculation!, of the U.S.
Department of Transportation Highway lialfic
Safety Adrninisli ation (NHTSA), that lepiesents a
"societal loss" of S3 million, $1 million eveiy day.
the NHTSA figure's accidents on the aveiagc cost
$7,300 and each fatality, $200,000. That includes
everything: property damage, medical (osts, funeral
costs, legal and police cost, loss of work, tunc and
money losses to others, employer losses (cost of
restaffing), pain and suffering, and loss lu community
services and home and family duties
What (foes $3 million mean exactly;
The Lincoln Public Schools could furnish its
students with free lunches foi a ye. 11 with th.it
money, according to Dr. Hnbeit )en Hartog, assist, ml
superintendent foi business affair; with the I incoln
schools.
