liULi uwuuu at I -t dUiwvviuv luvaljiUAia VV m.i! twl
April 21 on the Nebraska ETV Network,
according to Ron Hull, Network Program
Director.
The course is the first of its kind in . the
nation, and soon may be offered on a nationwide
basis if it goes well, Hull said.
A series of 10 lessons will be broadcast over
the network, April 21 through 25 and April 27
through May 2. After the first week's sessions,
students will get on-bike instruction on either
Saturday, April 26 or Sunday, April 27.
Motorcycles will be furnished by Kawasaki
Motors, which is sponsoring the program along
with Nebraska ETV and the Nebraska
Department of Education (NTJE).
The instructor for the course is Kent Jessee,
assistant professor of safety education at Central
Missouri State University, on loan as an
instructor to Kawasaki Motors. I
The program's goal, according to Duane
Schmidt, the NDE administrator ofjtraffic safety
education, is to provide motorcycle safety
education to beginning riders vio find it
difficult to enroll in programs offered through
public schools. The course is open to anyone
over 12 and requires a $7 registration fee, Hull
said.
Campus Police car a firs
Campus Police has for the first time a new
-patrol car. It's a 1975 Plymouth, blue with
flashing red lights, and has been in use for two
weeks.
Campus Police leases its cars from the
university auto pool. According to Chief Gail
Gade, the force's other sedans have been
hand-me-downs from other departments, or
leased cars from the auto pool. He said most of
the leased cars have been low mileage.
Gade said, "We welcome the new car, the first
new car we've ever had," Gade said. "We feel as
law enforcement officers we should have the best
quality equipment in good condition."
Campus Police has four cruisers, four scooters
and one four-wheel-drive vehicle.
Gade said security officers use the scooters
primarily for parking lot patrols. Because there
aren't quite enough scooters to go around, a
sedan is used to help with parking lot checks, he
said.
The cruisers are used basically for night
patrol, Gade said. He said the sedans can hold
two officers, which the scooters can't, and are
better for emergency work with their sirens and
red lights.
Gade said the four-wheel drive velucle, which
was actually purchased by the department, was
bought three years ago to help during
snowstorms.
"It'll go anywhere," he said, "when nothing
else is moving, we need it to pick up switch
board operators, power plant people. It's for
emergency situations-stranded students, people
who have to get home. It's a welcome addition."
Cost reduction program
Gade mentioned that the department would
try a cost reduction program this next year. He
said that Campus Security was thinking of
trading in one cruiser for two scooters. The
scooter force would handle all day-time activities
and the patrol cars would be used only at night.
The cruisers get 8-10 miles per gallon, Gade
said, while the scooters get about twice as many
miles per gallon. Cost would be reduced by less
gas consumption and less wear and tear on the
sedans. He said the scooters also cost less to
maintain.

...buy this mummy bag and
For about the same money
you'd pay for a 2-pound
goose down mummy bag,
you can have the Stag
Model 9814 Blue Ridge
mummy and have enough
left over to buy the Stag
Arctic Circle 2-man trail
tent. The secret is the Du
Pont Dacron Fiberfill II in
sulation that's nearly as
warm as down, but much
less costly. The 8814 has 3
pounds of Fiberfill II, Delrin
zipper, ripstop nylon cover,
raised foot pocket, draw
cord hood and waterproof
stuff bag. More than 2 dozen
Fiberfiil II styles to choose
from at your nearest Stag
