counteract Young, Americans for Free- S6& (of each student's fees), but only a
dorn's (YAF) campaign to protest manda
tory use of student fees to finance spea
kers. .
The Rev. Larry Doerr, UMHE campus
rninister and coordinator, said UMHE is
writing to people across Nebraska, asking
for their support. : '
UMHE met Jan. 5 to share ideas, devise
strategy and increase communication
among different groups opposing YAF,
according to Doerr.
He said people from the Nebraska
Union Programming Council, student
government and other campus ministries
attended the meeting. The purpose of the
meeting was to organize , a campaign to
support use of student fees to finance
speakers.
These people show real concern in
their understanding that the choice of
speakers should be . an open process.
few dollars per student Doerr said.
Without some type of base such as
mandatory fees, Doerr said, it would be
impossible to plan for speakers.
"YAF isn't concerned with student's
rights,' he said. "It's concerned with turn
ing down people it doesn't want as
speakers.
"UMHE is ready to put resources from
the ministry into effect, Doerr said.
Doerr also said students should'be aware
of the educational opportunities represen
ted by speakers from various parts of the
nation.
Selection of speakers is an open process,
he said, and spending student fees is a
legitimate and necessary part of that pro
cess. "If students don't think $1.50 is too
much to spend on speakers, then they
ought to contact their parents and the
Regents, Doerr said.
He does not know if UMHFs campaign
will be successful, Doerr said, but he hopes
the NU Board of Regents will accept tne
imtversitv-wide task force on student

are and to what extent they act as political
beings and to what extent they act as ad
vocates of open education, he said.
Copyrigh t law Urn its mater ia I

By Georgene Cetak
UNL students assigned to read litera
ture on reserve at Love Library may have
trouble because of new copyright laws.
Students in classes using reserve reading
will have to make a greater effort to co
operate, said Dean Waddel, assistant dean
of libraries. The revision of federal copy
right laws went into effect Jan. 1, 1978.
"Students who find themselves in those
situations need to be considerate of their
classmates" Waddel said.
To comply with the law, the library will
accept only one photocopy of an item for
reserve use, Waddel said.
The law states a library can legally have
one copy of book chapters, newspaper or
magazine articles, short stories, short essays
or short poems, charts, graphs, diagrams,
cartoons, book pictures, periodicals, or
newspapers.
Waddel said a fair-use principle on what
should or should not be copied has been in
practice for some years, but now is defined
by the new copyright law.
The library must receive authorization
from the publisher, copyright owner or
clearinghouse to use more than one copy
on reserve.
Waddel said a clearance center the
American Association of . Publishers, was
established as a result of the new law.
A fee, however, will be charged for per
mission to copy, i.
Another change requires photocopied
items be removed from reserve collections
at the end of the school term, unless the
library gets permission from the copyright
owner to keep them.
According to Waddel, the new law is
more strict than past copyright laws.
But he added that in the past the library
has contacted some publishers for per
mission to copyright.
Waddel also said because of the new law
statements have been placed on photocopy
machines in the library, warning stu
dents against illegal photocopying.
The new law will create problems for at
least one UNL professor . .
In the past, the majority of Doris
Hutchison's teaching has been with re
serve materials. Hutchison is an assistant
professor and chairman of the UNL nursing
program.
"We have foreseen this coming for a
semester and we have cut back consider
ably on the number of periodicals we are
using, Hutchison said.
There also is a problem because text
books have not been written" for many
courses she teaches, she said.
. However, semester's courses have been
planned so that textbooks could be pur
chased, Hutchison said.

Placement's Sutton:
services unexposed
" UNL suffers from an exposure problem but it is
neither freezing nor indecent, according ,to Don Sutton,
outgoing assistant director of the Career Planning and
Placement office.
Sutton said his major, frustration while at UNL has
teen that very few students are exposed to the broad
range of services offered by the university,
Sutton, who leaves UNL this week to become director
of placement at Colorado State University at Ft. Collins,
cited the placement office and the Counseling Center as
examples of services many students remain unexposed
to," or unaware of.
"The students who are really missing the boat are the
ones who wait until they are out of school to look for
jobs or the help they many need because these services
are usually only open to them while they are students,"
Sutton said.
Sutton said he is leaving UNL with no hard feelings but
rather a feeling of reliance in the experiences and friends
he has made during his two years with the Placement
Office.
'1 see it as a move up," Sutton said of his new job. "It
offers me a chance to be my own boss and eventually to
move into a similar position at a larger university,"
Working at UNL's placement office has been a valuable
learning experience, Sutton said. It has given him the op
portunity and exposure to placement problems needed to
direct his own placement program, he added.
Sutton said that he would like to return someday to
UNL as director of placements.
