Speaker . . .
Continued from p. 1
The speakers were not "just Buckley
and Fonda," said Patrick, who added that
speakers include people brought in, for
workshops as well as for the Centennial
room speeches.
William F. Buckley and Jane Fonda are
the names most often mentioned in the
arguments concerning the UPC speakers'
financing.
Chizek said he is told that since Buckley
was brought to campus then it was fair to
bring Fonda. Calling Fonda "anti-American,
radical and liberal," he said she
expressed only her own opinions. He jus
tified Buckley's appearance by calling him
a noted author and politician.
Patrick said the UPC lacked the funds
for a letter campaign to counteract the
YAF's campaign. "We are looking for
support" by going home and asking people
to contact the regents and by council
members individually writing regent mem
bers, she said.
The UNL Faculty Senate passed a reso-
daily nebraskan
lution supporting the present policy con
cerning campus speakers. The ASUN
assembly called a special session and
drafted a letter to the regents endorsing the
student fee funding of speakers, said ASUN
President Greg Johnson.
ITie ASUN Senate will take more action
concerning student fees and speakers,
Johnson said.
Dennis Martin, UNL student represen
tative on the task force, said that if the
regents "are going to pick out speakers
then they will have to cut out sections" of
the report.
Martin said the task force adopted a
philosophy concerning what a balanced
program should include and what the uni
versity should offer its students.
He said that to make speaker financing
optional would be against the task force's
basic philosophy.
Noting that speaker financing comprises
"less than .3 percent of money used for
student fees," Martin said he did not
consider it "so terrible to fund speakers."
"If it's discriminatory to pay for
speakers, then it's just as discriminatory to
pay for student health if someone doesn't
use student health," Martin said.
Dental vaccine studied
Boston-People who shiver at the whine
of a dentist's drill will be glad to learn that
researchers are working on a vaccine they
say will greatly reduce cavities.
Testing is still under way on animals,
but scientists say they expect the vaccine
will be available for use by people some
time in the 1980s.
"1 think what we have shown is that
immunization is feasible in humans," said
Dr. Daniel Smith. He and two other scien
tists have been working on the vaccine for
seven years at the Forsyth Dental Center, a
Boston research institute .
The medicine works by turning the
body's natural defenses against the germ
that causes cavities.
datelin
The Forsyth researchers have immu
nized rats and hamsters with the vaccine
and found that it reduces the number of
cavities by 50 to 60 percent.
The vaccine, however, will never elimi
nate cavities.
Donald Duck criticized
Helsinki, Finland-Donald Duck is being
drummed out of Helsinki libraries by
authorities who claim the Walt Disney
character's racy lifestyle sets a bad
example .
The carefree duck with the sailor hat has
been "going steady with the same woman
for 50 years without result," and this is
hardly a model for the young, Matti
Holopainen, chairman of Helsinki's youth
committee, told a recent city council
meeting.
Holopainen, who announced the deci
sion not to renew library subscriptions to
Donald Duck comics, said a key reason is
that most young library users are too old
for Donald Duck and that the comics are
"not informative."
Potato grows ring
Comstoek-Mrs. Bill Marsh says "it was
the strangest thing" when one day last
week she noticed a little bump on the end
of one of the potatoes she was peeling.
She cut into the potato and found a
ring she had lost about 18 months ago
while working in her garden, she said.
"And I just couldn't believe my eyes,"
she added, explaining that neighbors had
used metal detectors to look for the ring
and the garden has been plowed several
times since she lost it.
Foy the time being, she said, she was
keeping the ring in the potato in her refrig
erator to show to curious friends.
"In fact," she said, "It'U have to be cut
out."
Chizek said YAF is not fighting to get a
balanced speaker program as "we've given
up on that, we want to make funding to
these speakers voluntary."
He said that YAF has been unsuccessful
in attempts to get its views across to UPC
in past years. .
Patrick said that Talks and Topics
Committee is open to anyone on campus
and that to her knowledge no one ever
identifying themselves as a YAF member
has attended a UPC or committee meeting.
She said that in past years open hearings
have been during April to get student input
for the next year's speaker schedule. She
said this will again be the case unless the
Regents decide to cut speakers funding.
monday, january 16, 1978
Both Chizek and Patrick agreed that the
attendence records and the number of
campus speakers would diminish if speaker
financing becomes voluntary.
Roger Bowker, leader of the Lincoln
chapter of the John Birch Society, said
students should not have to pay for stu
dent speakers. Calling the present policy
undemocratic, he suggested the university
assume responsibility of speaker selection
and funding.
He said the university should handle the
speaker schedule and make it accountable
to the taxpayers. Bowker said he had no
connection with the UNL other than being
a taxpayer.
