A proposal establishing a Center for Great Plains
Studies under the College of Arts and Sciences at UNL
wCI be considered by the NU Board of Regents Saturday.
Max Larsen, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences,
said the center will encourage studies on all aspects of the
Great Plains, including the past, present and future.
The biological and physical environment, people,
economy, government institutions and cultures unique
to the Great Plains will be examined in activities, he
said. '.' :. V
Some of these studies include Midwestern urbanism,
the Plains Indians, art, music and literature of the plains.
The Unicameral also will be considered , he said.
Larsen, acting director of the project, said if the pro
posal is approved the center will expand potentials for
research, teaching and scholarly activity through the use
of symposiums and and seminars.
The center also is supposed to evaluate courses offered
at UNL" concerning the Great Plains and initiate new
courses where additional study is needed, Larsen said.
Marking the expected approval of the center, Plains
Week will be held April 11 to 16, 1977 at UNL The first
symposium, "Cultural Heritage of the Plains," will be held
then. Well-known scholars are to participate, he said.

about Plains History and Settlement, a display of Great
Plains art at Sheldon Art Gallery, and a musical presenta
tion in Kimball Hall.

year of its investigation into the slayings of President
John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King. "Any cut
in that figure in my opinion will make the task impos
sible," said Richard A. Sprague, chief counsel and dir
ector of the panel. Sprague said it was his "best estimate"
that the investigations into the two murders could be
completed within two years and that the second year
might cost less since the areas to be probed would be
narrowed by then. Members of the committee seemed
to be taken aback by Sprague budget proposal, and at
least two members briefly assume? that the $6 5 million
budget was for two years instead of one.

for a speedy execution and now must set him free. Attor
ney Ronald B. Stanger petitioned the 4th District Court in
Provo on Wednesday for Gilmore 's release on grounds
that state law required that the firing squad execution

South Korean business agents by an American electronics

is investigating E-Systems Inc. of DaEss to determine whe

lance equipment, had been linked with any wrongdoing.
The business fees were allegedly paid by E-Systems

naturalized U.S. citizen. Both men live in Los Angeles
and work for the Korean Research Institute, a consulting
firm which has advised E-Systems about selling equipment
to South Korea.
