Daily Nebraskan's policies
questioned by Regent Prokop
By Brenda Moskovits
Members of the NU Board of Regents
Saturday questioned some of the editorial
standards of the Daily Nebraskan, but an
attempt to regulate newspaper treatment
of the names of persons involved in crimin
al proceedings failed after a disagreement
about parliamentary procedure.
Regent Robert Prokop of Wilber had re
quested that UNL Publications Board
chairman Mark Bowen, director of the
UNL School of Journalism Neale Copple,
and Daily Nebraskan adviser C. David
Kotok appear before the board's academic
affairs subcommittee.
Although the regents are the official
publishers of the paper, Prokop said "1 can
not support some of the journalistic
practices."
Prokop said he objected to numerous
mistakes requiring corrections, unfavorable
coverage of the regents, unsigned letters to
the editor and printing of names of
witnesses which were requested withheld.
He also said he wanted to know how the
publications board and the paper's adviser
protect the regents from libel suits.
Kotok, who is a reporter at the Lincoln
Journal told the regents the Daily Nebra
skan uses "a higher ethical standard" than
area papers in publishing corrections.
He said the policy is "whenever there is
the slightest misunderstanding ... to pub
lish a correction."
"I do not as a rule read stories before
they go in the paper," he said, "except
where there is a question of libel." He said
in those cases he comes to the newspaper
office or has a short story read to him over
the phone.
Kotok said he has consulted legal coun
sel on potentially libelous stories.
Prokop said he was concerned that the
Daily Nebraskan had published the names
of two witnesses in preliminary hearing in
the Debra Forycki case. No other Nebraska
paper published the names.
Names requested withheld
Kotok told the board the county
attorney had requested that the press with
hold the names, but acknowledged he
could not legally bind them to do so.
"I can make a strong case that none of
the names should be printed. I can make a
strong case that all the names should be
printed," Kotok said.
Kotok said he personally would have
published only one name. One witness had
endorsed the county attorney's re-election
campaign, he said.
One of the women, who works in the
county attorney's office, appeared before
the subcommittee, asking that the regents
impose stricter supervision on the Daily
Nebraskan. She told the regents she was
hurt by having her name published.
Although the assault which she testified
about was not a sexual attack, she said the
publicity hurt her.
Moylan suggests split
Regent James Moylan of Omaha
suggested that the regents partially sub
sidize the paper until it could become a
self-supporting private enterprise, with its
own board of directors.
Copple said, however, that other papers
which have become totally independent
have suffered in quality. Often, their
control goes to non-students, he said.
Research into the possibility has shown
that the Daily Nebraskan would have to
move off campus, if the university is to
have no responsibility.
Later, in the general meeting, Moylan
proposed that student newspapers follow
the policy of their city papers in printing
names of those charged with, involved
with, or those who are victims of crimes.
The Daily Nebraskan would follow
Journal-Star policy and the UNO Gateway
would follow Omaha World-Herald policy.
In a 4-1 vote with 3 regents abstaining,
Koefoot ruled the motion had passed, un
til student Regent Ken Marienau pointed
out that a majority of votes were needed to
pass the motion.
Committee appointed
University Counsel Richard Wood veri
fied Marienau's point with the regents'
by-laws, so the motion failed.
After discussion and disagreement as to
whether an abstention should count as a
"no" vote, Koefoot appointed a committee
of Moylan, Regent Robert Simmons of
Scottsbluff and Robert Raun of Minden to
study the by-laws and guidelines used by
the press in publishing names.
Prokop, Moylan, Simmons and Wagner
supported the motion, and Koefoot oppos
ed it. Raun, Kermit Hansen of Omaha, and
Edward Schwartzkopf of Lincoln abstained.
