Georgia State Sen. Julian Bond
By Ann Owens
Most white Americans lack the will,
. courage and intelligence to voluntarily
grant black Americans equality, according
to Georgian State Sen. Julian Bond.
Bond, keynote speaker for the 32nd
Annual Nebraska Fall Institute of Social
Work and Human Services, addressed a
crowd of about 900 Thursday afternoon at
the Nebraska Center for Continuing Educa
tion on "Social Problems of the 70s and
'80s."
Bond said that discussing the future is
risky because no one knows what the next
few minutes will bring, but added the
world can expect much change by the year
2000.
Within three years, Bond said, television
will reach 50 per cent of the world's popu
lation and multi-national corporations will
produce 50 per cent of the world's goods
and serivces.
The future industrial economy will be
a service economy, he continued, in which
services and informational abilities will
serve as currency.
"We are sure to go through a series of
violent and non-violent wars of redistribu
tion like the current crises over who can
Student football ticket policy
defended at CSL meeting
By Liz Crumley
In spirited discussion at the Council on
Student Life (CSL) meeting Thursday,
Athletic Director Bob Devaney told CSL
member Chip Lowe that Lowe knew "in
his heart" that scalping football tickets is
wrong.
Devaney and Jim Pittenger, UNL ticket
manager, were asked to attend the meeting
to discuss the Athletic Dept. ticket policy.
"If the student would want to pay the
full price, they would have the same right
as anybody else regwding a football ticket,"
Pittenger said.
However, he added, the purchase of a
football ticket is a voluntary action on the
student part. At the time of purchase they
are made aware of the regulations regarding
the ticket and its transferability.
Lowe pointed out that to gain as much
revenue from a student ticket as from a
public season ticket, the Athletic Dept.
would have to raise the price of the student
ticket $1.50 per game.
This possibly could allow transferability,
according to Lowe.
Public season tickets cost $50.55. Stu
dent tickets cost $17.00.
The reason for this, according to Lowe,
is that half of the price of a public sea
son ticket goes to UNL's Athletic Dept.
Half goes to the visiting team's athletic
dept., if it is a Big Eight school.
Non-conference school's prices are ne
gotiable, Pittenger said. However he added,
90 per cent play on a 50-50 split.
On student and faculty tickets, the split
does not occur.
However, Pittenger said, "If you're
going to buy a student ticket and sell it to
John Q. Public, you deprive me of the right
to sell it to him at full price."
Devaney said football players can get up
to eight football tickets. The maximum
number is established by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association. A football
player may either receive two tickets plus
one for each athletic letter he earns or a set
number between two and four, he said.
The player then can purchase four addi
tional tickets, Devaney added.
"When football draws as many specta
tors as it does, I think people that are per
forming have a right to the tickets,"
Devaney said.
If the players are caught selling tickets
over and above the price of the tickets,
then they become ineligible for compe
tition, he added.
In further discussion, CSL member Paul
Morrison, also an ASUN senator, said
AS UN was questioning its responsibility as
a student body and as s representative of
the students.
According to Morrison, ASUN does not
want to fall in the calssification of a
student services organization.
"We want to become more a confident,
powerful organization that can do some
thing for students," he said. ASUN feels
tht CSL tk?9 awsy from thiSj h added,
A number of students go directly to
CSL bypassing ASUN, he said. ASUN will
make proposals to the Chancellor invol
ving some type of restructuring and poss
ibly the disbanding of CSL, he added.
However, Al Be'.;:, said, "What you
see is what you've got (CSL). If you want
to change it, you've got to go through the
Board of Regents.

charge how much for oil," he said. "But no
one can plot or plan the future without
knowing the past and describing the
present."
Colonial power
The U.S. is now a colonial power in
which almost all its black citizens are
colonial subjects and almost all white
citizens are colonists.
He referred, to the Report of the
National Advisory Commission on Civil
Disorder and said that "what white Ameri
cans have never fully understood, but what
the black person can never forget-is
that white society is deeply implicated in
the ghetto. White institutions created it,
white institutions maintain it and white
society condones it."
The separate status of black people in
the U.S. has been a fact since slavery days,
Bond said. "We exist at the pleasure and
sufferance of the American majority, and
the evidence is mounting that that exist
ence itself may soon be called into
question."
Part of the problem is that traditional
solutions for ethnic dilemmas will not
mold themselves to the black situation, he
said.
Pressure group politics has won reforms
for blacks, according to Bond, but he
added that it is nearly impossible to make
these reforms secure in a colonial society.
For example, Bond said, Macks thought
the battle for integrated school rooms was
won in 1954.
"The truth was that none of the admin
istrations in Washington since then, par
ticularly this present one, ever intended to
make that dream a reality," he said.
Shallow churches
Churches have played a shallow role,
Bond continued, interested in blacks one
day, the Vietnam War the next and abor
tion laws the following week.
He added that white college students
also ignore day-to-day problems of blacks
in the U.S. and show more interest in
music, drugs and the romantic aspect of
revolution. !
The beginning of the civil rights move
ment can be looked upon with nostalgia,
Bond explained, when the struggle in the
South was to eliminate the evil of "Jim
Crow."
Northern ghettos
But when the center of the crisis shifted
to the northern ghettos, the evils were
harder to understand and to fight, he said,
causing frustration.
The U.S. social and economic system
cannot solve the problem, according to
Bond, rather it is part of the problem.
"This system can't be relied upon as an
independent arbiter in conflicts of which it
is a part," he said.
"To be meaningful, negotiations must
take place between equals acting in good
faith," Bond said, "and the issues are pre
cisely the good faith, if not the good sense,
of white Aniericans."

Speaker cites Mexican era
Fernando Camara-Barbachano, assistant
director of the National Institute of
Anthropology and History in Mexico City,
Mexico, lectured to about 200 persons on
"Prehispanic Mexico," Thursday.
Camara-Barbachano's slide and lecture
presentation was part of Jornadas Mexi
canas, a Mexican festival sponsored by the
Mexican government for the American Bi
centennial celebration.
He said the prehispanic period, from
about 8,000 B.C. to the 16th century
Spanish conquest, was important because it
shows "the growing of culture," now re
stricted by present anthropological
standards.
Camara-Barbachano holds degrees from
the University of Yucatan, the National
School of Anthropology and History, and
the University of Chicago. He has taught at
the University of California at Los Angeles,
Columbia University in New York City, the
University of Wisconsin at Madison, Michi
gan State University and at Southern
Methodist University in Dallas.
