Self serve stations pump savings to limited number of students
BA6UN WW
By Robyn Ginn
Remove nozzle. Turn switch to on. Pull handle.
These are familiar directions to students already aware
that self-service gas stations are legal in Lincoln.
In an informal survey in the Nebraska Union, nine
UNL students said they knew the stations were legal but
most said they did not know the station locations.
Lincoln has 194 gas stations, but only two have
converted to self-service, said Dan Hergert Jr., president
of the Nebraska State Jobbers Association.
Both are Derby stations, one at 17th and Washington
Sts. and the other on 56th and South Sts.
Until December city ordinance banned self-service
to avoid fire hazards and "junky-looking" stations, Her
gert said.
Carter's HEW proposal adds jobs
Washington-President Carter's welfare plan provides
for more jobs and more sweeping changes than a key con
gressman's proposal, HEW Secretary Joseph A. Califano
Jr. says.
The secretary of health, education and welfare, pushing
for the administration's plan, told a Senate finance sub
committee Tuesday that Carter's proposal would create
some 1.4 million jobs.

A proposal by Rep. Al Ullman, D-Ore., chairman of
the House Ways and Means Committee, would create
some 500,000 jobs, Califano said.
Polanski report 'whitewash'
Santa Monica, Calif .-Roman Polanski's judge says a
prison psychiatric report on the director is "a complete
whitewash" and that Polanski should have been impri
soned and deported for having had intercourse with a
13-year-old g$.
Superior Court Judge Laurence Rittenband said Mon
day that Polanski knew a harsh penalty was in store when
he fled the country to avoid sentencing on a charge of
unlawful sexual intercourse.
The judge disclosed that he told Polanski's lawyer
in advance that he planned to send the director back to
the state prison at Chino for 4S days, then seek his
voluntary deportation from the United States.
. Rittenband said he assumed the attorney, Douglas
Dalton, passed the word to Polanski.
Dalton could not be reached for comment.
Hergert said he opposes self-service stations because
"I don't want my daughter smelling like a gas pump.'
He added he would be willing to pay up to 10 cents
more a gallon at regular stations.
However, most students said they favored self-service
because it saves them money. 4
"There's nothing hard about filling your own tank"
said Tom Ohrt, senior pre-med major from Omaha.
Frank Hassler, a junior journalism major from McCook,
said he would use self-service stations but the Derby sta
tions are out of his way "I will use it when more convert
to self-service," he said.
Senior Robert Harberg said he likes to have his gas
pumped for him. The civil engineering student from
Omaha said he was told at the station he usually visits
that self-service is too slow
Only one student surveyed said he opposed self
service gas stations. John Fischer, a sophomore journa
lism major from Lincoln, said it would eliminate jobs.
The price is secondary, he said, adding he probably would
not go to a self-service station.
Kevin Hischke, a junior criminal psychology major,
said he is aware of self-service stations, but would not go
to one because prices are not lower.
Tm as capable of gassing up my car as any attendant,
said Bob Weidlich, an electricat engineering major from
Lincoln. -
He said he will use self-service if it is convenient and
cheaper, even in below-zero temperatures.
Kay Boettcher .said she favors seservice stations
because they may reduce gas prices city-wide. She said
she hasiio qualms about pitoping her wri gas. - ,
"I. do it on vacations and I always save money, the
senior life sciences major from Lincoln said.
Two out-of-state students, , Roger Mekelburg . from
Yuma, Colo., and Bob Carlson, from Fairfax, Va., said
they have used self-service and favor it in Lincoln., v.
