UNL professors
awarded grant
to continue project
Four UNL professors have been awarded a $70,000
grant to continue development of a material that will con
duct electricity in only one direction.
The 12-year grant, a continuation of a three-year
project, is from the National Science Foundation and is
being awarded to: Craig Eckhardt and George Sturgeon,
associate professors of chemistry; Gordon Gallup, chem
istry professor; and David Sellmyer, physics professor.
The grant was made because of progress in the area,
Sturgeon said.
He said the four men submitted their project idea, the
study of solid materials with conductivity applications, to
the National Science Foundation, where it was ranked
with research projects from other researchers across the
nation.
Their project ranked high and the money was granted,
he said. The grant is "average" in size, Sturgeon said, and
the money will bemused for supplies, equipment and
personnel.
"I guess that our progress has been satisfactory or else
we would not have, received the additional money,"
Eckhardt said.
Thone'stopic-goverrimerit ethics
By Detsie Amnions .
The VS. Congress is made up of "fine, dedicated God
fearing people" despite what the American public may
think, said Rep. Charles Thone Sunday night.
Thone, Nebraska's First District Congressman, spoke to
a group of IS people on "The Ethics of Government" at
UNL's Wesley House Chapel. -
He explained the conflicts congressmen have when
deciding how to vote and gave his opinions about how
people should choose their representatives. He also
discussed the partisanship in Washington.
! Thone said the bad image people have about Congress
because ot the sexual exploits of Rep. Wayne Hays and.
Wilbur Mills is not true for the entire House.

honest hard workers," he said. "It's not true that 'every
body's doing itVV "' " , ,
Thone said most of his collegues would never lie to
other congressmen, even if they are on opposing sides of
an issue. -
They will tell him to vote against something if it will
not benefit his constituency, he said.
Congressmen must help each other because of the wide
variety of issues they vote on and their lack of tim& to
research, he added.
They also have to decide whether they vot? in the in
terest of their districts or the nation, according to Thone.
He said he thinks each representative should be in touc
with the desires of his electorate.
However, congressmen have a conflict over whether to
vote for their constituency or their conscience, he said,
adding that if he feels very strongly about an issue and his
view differs with the electorate, he votes his conscience.
"You cant give everybody everything they want,"
he said. .. -'
Thone added that voting on issues concerning funding
medical research or national health programs is difficult.
He said he thinks many congressmen voted for the
swine flu innoculation program even if they had doubts
about it. They did not want it on record that they had
opposed something which concerned national health, he
said.
Voters should choose a congressman on the basis of
his basic judgment, not his views about one or two issues,
Thone said.
There are many "rifle-minded" people who come to
him during elections with "their one little ax to grind,"
he said. They should look at "the broader picture and
deeper values" when they vote.
Partisanship is needed in Washington, Thone said.
There has to be party discipline he said, so the parties can
check on each other. . ,
However, Thone said "There's no way (House major
ity leader) Tip O'Neill or (minority leader) John Rhodes
can tell Charlie Thone how to vote."

Help on way for students
bogged down in finals week
To the harried student who had six
finals in two days, three of them on
Saturday and three on the Friday of dead
week last semester: help is on the way, but
not until at least fall 1978.
ASUN passed Resolution no. 44 which
recommends there be at least two days
between the last day of the semester and
the first day of final exams. It also suggests
there be at least three days between the
last day of finals and Christmas.
Senator Dave Roehr, a business and pre
law junior, said he introduced the resolu
tion to prevent problems like the ones
created by the 1976 fall semester schedul
ing of final exams.
The schedule had final exams beginning
Saturday Dec. 18, the day after the last
day of classes and running until 9pm
Thursday Dec. 23, one day before
Christmas Eve.
The resolution does not ask for a reduc
tion in the number of regularly scheduled
class days, Roehr explained, but suggests
starting classes as dose as possible to Sept.
I and perhaps scheduling -classes on
Saturday in the first part of the semester
to avoid having classes and final exams so
close together.
The resolution will not affect the
already scheduled final exams for the fall
of 1977 because the catalogues are already
being printed and mailed to prospective
students, according to Eugene Trani,
assistant of academic affairs and chairman
of the common calendar committee. There
would be a good deal of confusion if the
calendar changed now, he said.
Roehr said students complained that the
absence of a break between the last day of
classes and the first day of finals cut down
on their preparation time. He said students
also reported an increase in the number of
final exams given daring dead week and
some tests given without unanimous
consent of the class.
Many tests were rescheduled and held
during the. final regularly scheduled day of
class, he said. This meant students were
taking more tests during a two or three day
period. -
The fact that the last test was not until
Dec. 23 also created problems for students
who had long distances to travel, Roehr
said.
