A study on the relationship between violence
and pornography in the media and crime on the
streets has been suggested by Region II Crime
Commission chairman Ray Gottner. But UNL
criminal justice professor Fred Holbert, a
commission member, disagrees with the
suggestion.
Holbert opposes a study because, "there have
been lots of studies before and their results have
been inconsistent."
"I have read some of them and my conclusion
is that there would be no use in another study,"
Holbert said.
He said that he thought that studies and
planning "are the only legitimate" areas that the
commission can deal with.
"We don't get involved in censorship or
investigations on our own," Holbert said. "We
serve more as a planning and clearinghouse."
Gottner's suggestion amounts to an
acknowledgement that he would support
financing such a study since the commission
itself does not make studies.
The commission gives preliminary approval or
disapproval to applications from local law
enforcement organizations for funding according
to Holbert. Region II encompasses Lancaster
County.
Applications then go to the State Crime
Commission, which appropriates federal funds
provided by the Omnibus Crime Act, to the local
agencies. Regional commissions, which usually
encompass multi-county areas in Nebraska,
cannot stop an application from going to the
state commission with their disapproval.
Increasing crime rates
Gottner said his suggestion was prompted by
increasing crime rates for the city. According to a
Lincoln Star report, serious crime has risen 24
per cent in the city from 6,203 in 1973 to 7,714
in 1974.
"I am convinced there is a direct correlation
between the increasing crime rate and the crime,
violence and pornography in our movies and
which has certainly started to creep into our
television," Gottner said.
He said that he has been receiving "concrete
input" from several people after the Lincoln
newspaper report on his comments at the last
Crime Commission meeting but he is still seeking
more information.
The input has included past studies and
reports on specific crimes, according to Gottner.
Near censorship
"I know what I'm suggesting is , hitting
somewhat near censorship, although that's not
what I want," Gottner said. "I recognize the fact
that we've got to have the right of freedom of
the press."
He said that he "would entertain the idea of a
study on this" because he wants Lincoln to
remain a "decent" place to live.
"I retired 1 1 years ago from the Air Force and
chose Lincoln to live in because of its prime
educational system (he has eight children) and
because it has honest, good, hard working
people," Gottner said. "I want it to stay that
way."
He said that he "didn't want it to turn into a
town like my home town of Des Moines" which
he characterized as having many theaters which
show X-rated films and massage parlors, "at least
some of which are outright bordellos."
Lincoln has three threaters showing adult-only
entertainment.

to begin next fall, will teach
the role of the pharmacist in
pharmaceutical manufacturing,
as well as job opportunities in
this field. Ueda said plans are
not completed but the new
sequence will consist of two or
three undergraduate courses
and possible graduate-level'
The first course, a general
survey of the manufacturing
industry, will consist of a series
of informal discussions led
both by university faculty and
employes of Dorsey
Laboratories. Ueda said the
course will include the more
common aspects of the
industry, such as the
manufacturing of tablets, and
will look at the less well-known
subjects, such as drug
regulations, legal questions and
marketing.
Elective
"It's a purely elective
course," said Ueda, adding that
an informal atmosphere and
visual aids would be integral
parts of the one-credit class.
A second, more formal class
will follow, he said. The class
will include a lab, and will
meet at Lorsey Laboratories. It
will emphasize the actual
production of pharmaceutics.
A third class may be offered
later.
Ueda said Dorsey
Laboratories has offered an
internship program, but
cancelled it this year because
of financial problems. But
Ueda added that Dorsey
officials are anxious to
reintroduce the program as
soon as money becomes
available.
Student enthusiasm for the
program has been high, Ueda
said, noting that a survey of
classes showed 60 per cent of
the students interested in such
a program.
Job opportunities
"I think students would like
some other opportunities,"
Ueda said. He said many
pharmacy students aren't
aware of job opportunities
with agencies such as the Food
and Drug Administration and
the U.S. Public Health Service.
The new courses would be part
of an attempt to open such
"unknown" areas up to more
interested students.
Much enthusiasm also has
been expressed at the
administrative level, Ueda said.
"A program like this calls
for lots of cooperation, and the
people at Dorsey have been
more than cooperative," Ueda
said. "It's the first time I've
seen something like that."
Ueda said 72 per cent of last
year's graduating class returned
to small Nebraska towns to
work at community drugstores.
He said the new courses will
give the students "an idea of
the field to see if he wants to
pursue such a career."
