I thursdsy, dscember 4, 1975 daily nebraskan page 15 Lewis petition gaining names FAB asks CAC - bakery inquiry By Marian Lucas . Investigation into a proposed Campus Assistance Center (CAC) and a union bakery was unanimously moved Wednes day night by the Fees Allocation Board. A report by the board's Nebraska Union Operations sub committee stated that the union's 1975-76 capital budget didn't include the two proposed items. Also, the subcommittee reported that student fees would have to be raised if funds from student organizations were not cut to finance operation of the new East Union. Further inquiry into the status of the University Book store was suggested because the subcommittee termed its operations "questionable." Cited as vague items were the bookstore's profits and its arrangements at the Nebraska Union. As a result of a Recreation Department and Recreation Facilities subcommittee report, board member Jim Lewis said that even though the women pay' the same amount of student fees as men, they do not receive the same recrea tional opportunities. The issue, lewis said, s whether the Recreation Dept. is sincere in its efforts to give to women the opportunities for the money they pay. Members of the subcommittee said that while sutdent fees were increased, such things as entry for intramural sports were decreased. In other business, Jim Sherrets, was denied $500 for transportation to a Transatlantic Debate Assoc. tourna ment for the Student Bar Assoc. The request was denied, 6-3. According to FAB chairman Don Wesely, the board's criteria doesn't provide for transportation to student activities. Slow but steady progress is being made in the petition drive for a grand jury invest igation into the shooting deaths of two uncoln black men, according to Cynthia (..randberry, secretary to Omaha State Sen. Ernest Chambers. About 2,000 signatures have been collected to date at the rate of about 500 a week, she said. Although 2,414 signa tures are required, an attempt is being made to get 3,000, Sheila Finney who is heading the petition drive, said last month. Lincoln Action Program (LAP) director Jesse Payne said recently that he "under stood Judge Van Pelt's position" in his decision to refrain from calling a grand jury investigation. Payne said he is helping ... vuuuii uiivc as mucn as possiDie DOtn personally and through LAP. "As a social service agency, we serve as a distribution point of information for anyone interested in the petition drive," Payne said. Petitions are available at the LAP center for people who want to help circulate them. Payne said that although he supports a "thorough" grand jury investigation into the deaths of Elijah Childers, shot by a Lincoln police officer, and Arvid Sherdell Lewis, shot by Lancaster County Deputy Sheriff Rod Loos, he realizes that LAP "has a limited extent of resources" with which to help further the petition drive objectives. LAP has been assisting in fund raising events to help pay Lewis's legal and funeral expenses. City officials and others connected with the issue should "remain objective and not fall prey to tactics designed to mold their actions in one way or another," Payne said. A school classmate and personal friend of Lewis, Payne said he thought any in formation connected with the case should be public record. County Commissioner Bruce Hamilton, said he has "not had any official access to any more information than what is also available to you (the public)." In a recent sermon at the Unitarian Church of Lincoln, Hamilton supported the efforts for a grand jury investigation. rN. . , ' YV Suede 'n' Smooth Leathers 55s5i Team Up to Make This a Great Looking Sport Casual (SgA Regular n a") X $12.99!
