Enforcement begun
In the Gulf of Alaska, off the coast of New England
and in waters shared with Cuba, the government Tuesday
began to enforce the new U.S. 200-mile limit on foreign
fishing vessels. A Soviet trawjer, alleged to be in violation,
was boarded Tuesday morning. Adm. Owen VV. Siler,
commandant of the Coast Guard, said he received word of
the boarding from the cutter Sherman, but had few
details. He said the Coast Guard boarded a 300-foot
Russian trawler about SO miles southwest of Martha's
Vineyard after the Soviet vessel was found cruising
through an area set aside for American lobstermen. Siler
told reporters aboard a Coast Guard observation flight
that the boarding was "for violating fixed gear location
agreements." He said he did not know immediately if the
trawler was fishing at the time or if it had torn apart
lobster traps or floats. He said the trawler had taken
aboard a permitted variety of fish. The trawler was given a
written warning, Siler said.

determine whether she is competant to stand trial. Miss
Pantoja, 21, of Kansas City, Kan., faces four federal
charges: robbery, assaulting teller Marilyn Minor, taking
Miss Minor hostage, and taking another hostage, Omaha
cab driver John Workman. She also faces state charges
arising from a shootout with law-enforcement officers
near Nebraska City. She allegedly hired the cab in a geta
way attempt, and suffered four gunshot wounds, one to
the face, in a shootout when law officers caught up about
SO miles south of Omaha.
Enough gas?
Omaha-Nebraska should have adequate gasoline
supplies this summer, according to officials of the Nebra
ska Gasoline Retailers "Association. Executive Director
Kennard Gardiner said he has heard of only one cutback
in supply to an Omaha station. He said that was caused by
a fire at a refinery, mechanical breakdowns and a change
in products. He said a normal supply will require a
continued flow of imported oil. W.B. Corman of Omaha,
president of the association, said he sees the possibility of
gasoline shortages if there are problems with imports or
production breakdowns, but he has heard of no general
cutbacks in supplies to local dealers. Gardiner said there
have been some periodic local shortages of unleaded
gasoline, mostly due to temporary imbalances in supply
and demand.

Requirements met
for Bereuter fund
Four of five requirements called for when the Nebraska
Legislature appropriated the so-called Bereuter funds to
UNL last year have been met.
The funds, named after Utica Sen. Douglas Bereuter
who sponsored the bill providing the money, were to im
prove undergraduate studies at UNL in five areas.
According to a report submitted to the NU Board of
Regents, the $850,000 allocated have reduced class sizes,
replaced graduate teaching assistants with full-time faculty
members and increased the number of full-time faculty
members teaching undergraduate classes.
The report also said faculty members hired with
Bereuter funds spent most of their time in classroom in
struction. . J
The fifth goal originally called for in the bill has not
been met, the report said. The funds were to help ensure
that "classroom contact of all faculty devoted to under
graduate courses will not decrease."
According to the report prepared by the vice
chancellor for academic affairs' office, total contact hours
for assistant professors and above in 27 target depart
ments" decreased by more than 2,000 hours or two per
cent. The report said the reduction is because of changes
in course offerings. .
Richard Johnson, assistant to the assistant vice chan
cellor for academic affairs, compiled the report two
weeks ago and presented it to the regents at their Feb. 19
meeting.
According to individual department comments in the
report, Bereuter professors have brought new teaching
methods with them and revitalized their departments.
The report further said that "new professors brought a
level of expertise to classes which could not possibly have
been offered by graduate teaching assistants.
Johnson said this may be true, but the teaching
assistants need teaching experience that Bereuter
professors may be taking away from them.
One result not specifically called for by the Legislature
has been the elimination of teaching assistants teaching
beginning-level courses.
The funds, used to hire 64 people with a total of 296.5
years of teaching experience, are to continue for three
more years Sixteen of the 64 earned their degrees at
UNL.
