A reenactment of historic
debates on the presidency, a
probe into the workings of a
juvenile court, an inside look at
the lives of modern day
cowboys and a comic opera
combine to offer a wide variety
of programming this week on
the Nebraska ETV Network.
In Philadelphia in 1787,
delegates from the thirteen
colonies gathered at
Independence Hall to frame a
national constitution. Among
the most crucial problems
confronting them was to define
the powers and responsibilities
of the presidency.

historians, politicians and
social thinkers has again
assembled at this historic site
to re-examine the origins of the
presidency and how the office
of the presidency has evolved
over nearly two hundred years.
An authentic fully
costumed dramatic re-creation
of the original debates on the
presidency has been paired
with a contemporary
re-examination for the special
program, "Shall We Have A
King?" The 90-minute
broadcast will be seen
Thursday, June 20, at 7 p.m.
on stations of the Nebraska
ETV Network.
The initial question posed is
"Has the office of the
presidency become more
powerful than the founding
fathers intended it to be?" The
NETV viewer will see that
some of the same problems
that confronted the country in
1787 confront the nation
today and some of the same
issues are still being debated.
Documentary filmmaker
Fred Wiseman has been called

intelligence to enter the
documentary field in recent
years. Wednesday, June 19, at
7 p.m., the Nebraska ETV
Network presents Wiseman's
a ward-winning "Juvenile
Court." The film takes a
probing look at the
tension-filled relations between
children in trouble and the
adults responsible for
employing a system of laws to
decide their futures. Viewers
witness the arrests and
confrontations of the
offenders, their families, and
the army of social workers,
probation officers, and
psychiatrists.
This special three-hour
program is presented in two
segments." The first is the two
hour and 20-minute film
"Juvenile Court." The second
segment, "Fred Wiseman
Filmmaker," features a
discussion by Lincoln
attorneys, a social worker and
members of the film unit of
the Nebraska ETV Network.
The discussion touches such
su b j ects as plea-bargaining,
how Wiseman picks a location
for this type of film and the
technical aspects of filming
such a documentary.
In a light vein NETV
presents a documentary on
cowboys. George Salisbury,
Steve Adams and Ike Herold
-they are the cowboys of the
70' s, working with sheep and
cattle twelve hours a day,
mending fences, breaking
horses, and occasionally
relaxing in town and at rodeos.
A tough life, but to them the
only way to live.' T
Their story is told on the
"Life Adventure Special" the
premiere program, "Cowboy,"
airing on the statewide
Nebraska ETV Network,
Friday, June 21, at 6:30 p.m.
Their land is the Snake
River Valley in Wyoming, and
their town is Baggs (population
125), a classic cowtown of
American literature, which
used to be frequented by
"Butch" Cassidy and other
notorious types who have
become legend.
ETV viewers will get a
glimpse into the world of "The
Lion and Androcks," a comic
opera by John Eaton, when the
Nebraska ETV Network
broadcasts a repeat of the
popular Greek fable Sunday,
June 16, at 5 p.m., repeating
I 'ii n. I . I
l W " 1245 "rst .- '
Tuesday June 18, at 7 p.m.
In a delightful tale with a
happy ending, Androcles is
accused of stealing King
Anthos mushrooms. He is
condemned for mushroom
theft and is doomed to death
in the arsna. But a lion named
Alexander and a cast of 75
fourth graders save Androcles.
The cast includes William
Reeder as Androcles, William
Oberholzer as Alexander Lion
and Michael Rocchio as King
Anthos.
In presenting controversial
subjects ETV uses a debate
format to answer the
questions. Should the United
States claim jurisdiction over
fisheries to a limit of 200 miles
off U.S. shores? Should
Congress act to support
American deep sea mining
operations? These two
controversial questions are
debated on a special program
"The Law of the Sea" on the
"Advocates" series, Sunday,
June 16, at 3 p.m. on the
Nebraska ETV Network. The
program repeats Thursday,
June 20, at 8:30 p.m. and
Friday, June 21, at 2 p.m. This
two-hour special program
coincides with the opening of
the United Nations Law of the
Sea Conference in Caracas,
Venezuela.
The Advocates' purpose in
debating these issues is to call
attention to the fact that 70
percent of the earth's surface is
ungoverned by law and to note
the beginning of the Law of
the Sea Conference in Caracas
where, after years of
preparatory meetings, all the
nations of the U.N. will come
together to deal with what
many have called the most
important set of problems for
the next 50 years.
