French landslides
Nice, Francc-An increasing number of landslides are
threatening some of the most beautiful and expensive real
estate in the world on the French Riviera from Cannes
to the Italian border. Unusually heavy rains on the
magnificent French seaside slopes are blamed for touching
off earth movements that have damaged houses and apart
ment buildings and cut off highway and railroad traffic.
"You would be overstating the case to say Villefranche is
about to tumble into the Mediterranean," Nice University
geology professor Philippe Mangin said of one Riviera
city. "But the fact is there are an unbelievable number of
private and multiple dwellings whose walls and founda
tions have become fissured in the last few months."
Carter plan
Washington-President Cartels energy plan probably
will include an initial, standby tax increase of five cents
a gallon on gasoline and is sure to call for even heavier
taxes on domestically produced crude oil, congressional
and administration sources said Wednesday. While details
of the President's energy proposals are still being worked
out, the package clearly will mean that Americans who
use energy excessively will pay a heavy penalty, mostly
through added taxes.
Among the proposals likely to be sent to Congress on
April 20 are:
A gasoline tax increase starting at five cents, and
rising another 10 cents annually in the second and third
years of the program. It would be imposed only if U.S.
consumption fails to decline, a possibility not considered
likely by Carter's energy advisers. The current federal tax
is four cents per gallon.
-A so-called wgas guzzler" tax starting at $412 on new
cars which use gas inefficiently. It could go as high as
$2,500 for the purchase of each new car.
-A tax of several dollars per barrel on crude oil
produced in the United States. Its purpose is to gradually
lift the price pf domestic oil to that charged by Middle
Eastern nations and other foreign producers. , y
Order in the court ,
Omaha-Fiustino "Mexican Frank" Selvera, accused -of
participating in an Omaha drug conspiracy, was force
ably removed from Federal Court Wednesday after he
jumped to his feet, shouting, during testimony of a former ,
heroin dealer-turned government agent. "Lock me up. . .1
can't listen to that kind of crap. . .Take me to a cell,"
Selvera shouted. U.S. District Court Judge Albert Schatz
ordered deputies to take Selvera to the U.S. Marshal's
office. During the trial's opening day Tuesday, Selvera
had been cautioned by Schatz after making audible
remarks, and the judge warned earlier Wednesday that
Selvera would be locked up if there were more outbursts.
Less time off?
If the Legislature wants to make sure that those
convicted of first-degree murder serve a definite number
of years in jail, it will have to restrict time off for good
behavior that such a convict can receive, the state Justice
Department said Wednesday. The department issued a
clarification of an opinion given to Omaha Sen. Ernest
Chambers that said the Legislature could restrict parole
for capital offenders. Chambers' LB64 abolishes capital
punishment and includes an amendment requiring a 30
year sentence with no parole. Chambers asked if a 45
year sentence with a requirement that the offender
serve two-thirds of the time would guarantee 30 years in
prison. ' v

A four-year-old sign installation project at Love
Library is nearly finished, according to Dean Waddel,
assistant dean of libraries.
The red plastic signs with white letters are informa
tional and directional signs, Waddel said.
For example, the signs may direct library users to the
information desks or microfilm service areas or post
library hours at the entrances, he said.
The first stage of the project was begun in spring 1973.
Later, after reexamining the proposals of this stage, a
second stage was introduced, he said.
The Love Library addition required a third stage of
sign installation, and a fourth stage was caused by changes
in collections locations, Waddel said.
There are no more planned stages, he added, but
additional signs may be needed in the stacks and the older
part of the library.

Later, other signs may be added to the library system,
he said, such as C.Y. Thompson Library on East Campus.
Waddel said the project cost about $6,000. He added
that the(figure might be "a little on the high side."
"Our funding is not the same type of funding as the
Nebraska Union's," he sdd. "It is basically tax support."
The Nebraska Union is considering placing about
$10,500 worth of signs in the building. Union Director
Al Bennett had originally proposed spending about
$35,000, but the Union Advisory Board has recommend
ed spending less.
Union signs would be paid for from a bond reserve
account subsidized by student fees as mandated by the
bonds. Donations covered about $2,000 of the project's
cost, he explained.
"I'm fairly positive that some of it came from (NU)
Foundation Funds," He said. Unless specified, foundation
funds can be used for any purpose within the library,
he said.
East Campus hosts Western games
The UNL East Campus will be a playground of fun and
games Monday for the final day of Western Week. .
The annual Western Week Games will begin at 3 p.m.,
north of the Tractor Testing Laboratory, according to
Dale Grosbach, a junior animal science major and recrea
tion chairman for the East Union Program Council.
That night, the Great Plains Room of the Nebraska
East Union will be filled with the sounds of the Midwest
Ramblers, a bluegrass band from Lincoln, during the
annual free dance that will wrap up the series of special
events.
Western Week was kicked off last Weekend at the Ne
braska State Fairgrounds as the University of Nebraska
Rodeo Association hosted its intercollegiate rodeo and the
Block and Bridle Club hosted its Quarter Horse Show and
Big Red Kef Progress Show.
The delay between those events and Monday's
activities, "which nobody is happy about," was caused by
several scheduling problems with Easter, Grosbach said.
Western Week Games feature team and individual
competition in both men's and women's divisions in arm
wrestling, a tug-of-war, pyramid building, a Volkswagon
race and a wheelbarrow race, Grosbach said.
Traveling trophies will be presented to winning teams,
composed of living units, he said, and individual trophies
will be awarded to the man and woman champion in each
event.
