Georgian attacks Carter's
loyment
By Rex Henderson
Julian Bond, a Georgia state represen
tative who for 2 years has been battling
U.S. presidents, took up the sword against
President Carter Friday night in Lincoln.
Bond spoke at a fund-raising dinner for
State Sen. Jo Ann Maxey. Maxey is runn
ning for re-election in the 46th District.
Bond criticized Carter for failing to
creating programs to ease the plight of
black Americans. Bond said statistics on
black unemployment "show a people living
in a permanent crisis."
The black vote was critical for Carter's
1976 election victory, Bond said. But
Carter has produced no program to elimin
ate black poverty, he charged.
Carter's programs have "imposed a 60
percent pull-back in social services," Bond
said.
The president's failure to act on black
unemployment is just one aspect of a trend
against blacks in American government,
Bond said.
The decision of the California Supreme
Court in the Allan Bakke case that affirma
tive action programs are unconstitutional
will hurt blacks and health core in Cali
fornia, he said.
Setting up quotas for minorities in jobs
and universities are "limited compensation
for 200 years of discrimination," Bond
said.
Bakke, a University of California-Davis
medical schoo applicant, sued the school
when black students with lower test scores
were admitted and Bakke was rejected.
Bond characterized the Bakke case as
"an example of the priviledged and power
ful to maintain their share of the good life
they enjoy."
Bond noted that Bakke made no objec
tions to the five seats secretly reserved for
sons and daughters of alumni of the school,
nor to the 32 whites with lower test scores'
who were admitted to the medical school.
Bond also noted that several other schools
had denied Bakke admission.
The trend against blacks in the courts
and state legislatures is pitting "those who
have little against those who have," he said.
A growing "underclass," including
blacks, in America is turning to the politi
cal process, Bond said.
"Politics is the art of seeing who gets
how much of what from whom," Bond
said. "People at the bottom don't get
much."
Bond complained that the Humphrey
Hawkins Full Employment bill has been
diluted to a "paper promise to reduce
unemployment to levels representing per
manent joblessness for 10 percent of black
Americans."
Despite his criticism of the current ver
sion of the Humphrey-Hawkins bill, Bond
said before his speech that it represented
one of the few promises for improvement
for the black community in Washington,
DC.
Bond first gained national attention in
1966 when he was ejected from the
Georgia House of Representatives for
opposing the Vietnam War. That ejection
later was ruled unconstitutional by the
U.S. Supreme Court. At the Democratic
National Convention in 1968 Bond got
national attention when he became the
first black nominated to the vice-presidency.

UNL's tuition scholarships
may be target of budget put
Fewer scholarships may be awarded
in the future because of rising tuition
and smaller operating budgets, accord
ing to a Faculty Senate budget com
mittee member.
Michael Turner, agriculture econ
omics professor, said free tuition
scholarships probably will be 4he target
of future budget cuts.
Free tuition scholarships including
the Regent's Scholarship, probably will
be decreased in order to meet other
operating costs, he said.
When tuition goes up, it costs the
university more, he said.
Chancellor Roy Young tentatively
suggested 45 scholarships of this type be
eliminated. These scholarships total
about $110,000 in scholarship money,
Turner said.
The Regent's Scholarship is the best
known award in this category, Turner
said. However, other scholarships, such
as some of those awarded to military
personnel also are included.
Scholarship money cuts were suggest
ed a way the university could meet its
other operating costs and remain within
the budget allowed them by the Nebra
ska Legislature, Turner said.
However, it is not known how much
flexibility the UNL administration have
in this area. A recent Nebraska Supreme
Court decision allows the NU Board of
Regents, not the Legislature, the final
say in spending budgeted money.
Ohio St. eyes applicants
College of Optometry representatives at
Ohio State University were at UNL last
week to interview students interested in
OSU's optometry program.
Because UNL has no optometry training
program, OSU this year contracted with
UNL to allow up to five Nebraska residents
to attend optometry school there at resi
dent tuition rates.
OSU is not required to accept all five
UNL students if fewer meet the standards
for acceptance.
During their stay, Frederick Hebbard,
dean of the optometry college, and James
Noe, pre-optometry adviser, interviewed
Nebraskans who had applied to OSU's op
tometry school and had met the require
ments. The criteria used in selecting the stu
dents include college grade point average,
the completion of a specific list of pre-optometry
courses, an optometry college ad
mission test, and a personal interview.
Students interested in a progression in
optometry are advised to talk to a local op
tometrist to become more familiar with the
profession. This experience with an opto
metrist is invaluable to the student, Heb
bard said.

Army ROTC can help you develop
two career opportunities after
college.
First. Army ROTC gives you two
years of practical management
training and leadership experience
while you're still in school. Extra
credentials that will set you apart in
the civilian job market.
Second. Army ROTC offers you a
part-time leadership opportunity as an
officer in the Army Reserve or Army
National Guard. That means extra
income, management responsibility,
community involvement.
Two careers. For details, contact:
