arfinkel: Exon misunderstan
By Barbara Lutz
Gov. J. James Exon's $4 million budget proposal for
the University of Nebraska at Omaha Health, Physical
Education and Recreation (HPER) Bldg, is not enough,
according to UNO interim Chancellor Herbert Garfinkel,
Not only will the $4 million not build it, he said Mon
day but "Veil have to throw away one-quarter million
dollars worth of plans appropriated by the Legislature."
t)ur request of $7,3 million was based on a program"
accepted by the Legislature, Garfinkel said, .
"We appreciate the governor including HPER in this
year's budget," but Exon's proposal "is based on a
concept that misunderstands our program," Garfinkel
said.
"We lose in two ways," Garfinkel said. "We lose the
money already appropriated by the Legislature, and we
will have a facility that is inadequate for the future."
The proposed $4 million would finance a building in
adequate for the needs articulated "from the day it
opened," he said.

Guilty plea
Tel Aviv, israel-A weeping Asher Yadlin threw Israeli
politics into turmoil Monday as he abandoned his
innocent plea on real estate kickback charges and said the
money had gone to Israel's ruling Labor party. Yadlin,
53, a leading political and financial figure in Israel until
his arrest last October, pleaded guilty to charges involving
only $9 $00 in kickbacks. However, he said he was
pressured into the illegal money raising by Labor party
bosses, includingtwo current cabinet members. His charw

As Secretary of Stats Vance prepared to begin
a week-long Middle East trip Monday, Saudi Arabia
increased pressure on the United States to persuade Israel
to make concessions to the Arabs in return for Saudi
restraint on oil prices. Prince Saud al-Faisal, Saudi
Arabia's foreign minister, indicated his government might
give up its five per cent lid" on price hikes and impose
a further increase if the United States and other Western
nations failed to provide more support for the Arabs in
dealing with Israel.
Killer dead
New RocheDe, N.Y. A hulking, Army-trained sharp
shooter steeped in the Nazi philosophy of Adolf Hitler
shot himself to death Monday night after taking over the
warehouse where he worked and killing five persons,
including a policeman. Fred Cowan, a 6 ft. 250 lb. body
building enthusiast, was found with a bullet in his brain

from his own handgun. A law enforcement assault team
found the body as it closed in on Cowan's second-floor
stronghold in the Neptune Worldwide Moving Co. ware
house on the outskirts of this Westchester County
community. Five persons, including three other police
officers, were wounded in the initial bursts from the M16
automatic rifle in the hands of Cowan, 34. About two
weeks ago, he was suspended from his job as a driver's
helper after getting into an argument with a customer over
moving a refrigerator. He was due to report back to work
Monday morning. He arrived shortly before 8 ajn., but
with a gun.
Gong responsible?
Hollandsburg, Ind. -Indiana State Police speculated
Tuesday that the shotgun slaying of four young brothers
may have been the work of a small gang of men who
terrorized and robbed two other couples last week. "This
hideous crime will take precedence over all other matters
until we have the perpetrators behind bars," said State
Police Supt, John Shettle. "We have a number of leads
and a mountain of information by informants and citizens
from Hollandsburg." The victims were Ralph Spencer,
14; Reeve B. Spencer, 16; Raymond M. Spencer, 17, and
Gregory B. Brooks, 22, a step-brother. They were found
Monday face-down m the blood-soaked floor of their
mobile home. Each had been killed by a shotgun blast
to the head.
Senator frustrated'
Omaha-After watching such VS. Senate incidents as
a two-hour debate over whether to abolish the Senate
barbershop, freshman Sen. Edward Zorinsky almost quit
his job a little more than a month after taking office. But
his wife talked him out of it, Zorinsky said Monday in an
interview. I had just had it," Zorinsky said. "It was the
frustration of sitting there hour after hour, knowing the
problems of the country that need solving and seeing
noirung nappen. Me said his wile, Cece, persuaded him
to "give it a fair chance" before quitting.

; Garfinkel said the governor ought to reconsider his pro
posal because he "misunderstands what we wanted to
build." -
We are not asking for a fieM house, gymnasium or
swimming pool, we are asking tor a replacement for
Quonset hut "after rooms," instruction rooms, he said.
. The "program needs for HPER were carefully arrived
at," he said. "Many people misunderstand what we
wanted to build is a training program in recreation and
health as well as physical education."
"There is a great need for the products of the
program, he said. The health and recreation program
works with the elderly, delinquent disadvantaged youth,
penologists and prisoners, he said.
"The teaching program intersects with the health pro
gram. We ant get it through people's heads. They think
we want to build a gymnasium, swimming pool and field
house." Exon had vetoed the HPER Bldg. three times before he
said Thursday the structure could be financed at the lower
price.
Exon said his prior vetoes were not because the build
ing was not needed, but were based on the lack of funds.
In his budget speech to the Nebraska Legislature, Exon
said the building had been long delayed.
Exon justified his reduction in the proposed cost of
HPER on the basis of a comparison to the recently
completed $3.3 million recreation facility at Omaha's
Creigh ton University.
Garfinkel said it was an unfair comparison in two ways.
First, the difference in the number of students: approxi
mately 16,000 at UNO and approximately 5,000 at
Creighton.
Second, he said, "We don't want just an athletic train
ing program" at HPER. Garfinkel said the request is for
classrooms, laboratories for stress testing and educational
instruction program for undergraduates and graduates.
