Summer Nebraskan, Tuesday, June 12, 1979. Page 5 Stadium cont. . . Energy Problem Dworak also cites the current energy problem as possibly affecting future attendance. However, Prokop argued that people will still travel to the football games regardless of the energy situation. "Besides, 84 percent of the fans live within 60 miles of Memorial Stadium," he said. "There are a number who are in the outside area but if they want to go to the ball games 'they'll go," he said. Dworak admitted that he had no evidence stating that energy costs would affect game attendance but said that all one must do is look around at 91 cent a gallon gasoline prices to figure that out. "What more substantiation does a normal intellegent person want," he said. Senator Steve Fowler, member of the executive board, would not say how he will vote, lie did, however say that he felt some of the claims students have been making may have some substance ot them and deserve looking into. Students not alona What the students are afraid of, Cuca said, is that the stadium will not make enough money to cover construction costs, and the students will end up paying for it. The students do not stand alone, however, in their fight against stadium expansion. A small number of people feel that it would be more economical, and better for Cornhusker football if a new stadium were to be built instead of adding to the present structure. Spearheading the drive for a new stadium is Frank Lauerman, 63, of Tucson, Arizona. A few weeks ago Lauerman paid for an add that appeared in local newspapers extolling the virtues of building a new stadium versus stadium expansion. The heart of the advertisement was a request that those who agreed with him should write their regent and express their support. Same figures The proposed stadium would seat 105,000 and would cost $6.7 million versus stadium expansion of 9,200 seats at a cost of $6.4 million. . These are the same figures Regent Robert Prokop of Omaha presented to the board of regents when the idea Was discussed. Since the add appeared, the regents have not had an overwhelming response to the idea. Regent Edward Schwartzkopf of Lincoln said he has received about 10 letters since the ad appeared. Five of the letters were simply the add, which resembled a coupon, clipped out and signed by the sender. The other five responses were letters expressing their dismay at such a proposal. Prokop who is on record as supporting such a venture, received about 50 positive responses. Write in support Picha to speak June 18 The role of the universi ties in national problem . solving and how it applies to the national energy pro blem will be the subject of an Avery lecture on June 18. Dr. Kenneth G. Picha will lecture at 10:30 a.m. in the City Union. The lecture is being sponsored by the College of Engineering and Technology, the Convoca tions Committee and the summer sessions office. Picha is presently the director of the Office to Coordinate Energy Re search and Education. Pre vious positions held by Picha include director of the office of university pro grams for the Energy and Research and Development Agency, and dean of engi neering for the University of Massachusetts. The lecture will cover the relationship between go vernment agencies and uni versities toward solving some of the countries pro blems. Picha will discuss some of his -own experi ences dealing with the De partment of Energy and why the department and other agencies are not utili zing the resources of the countries universities. said, is a "serious disman tling of the nation's univer sities." Picha claims there is a lack of concern fop the health of science in Ameri ca and that in comparison to now the 1960s were the "golden-years' for science and engineering. The dramatic shift from partnership to antagonism between the federal agen cies and the universities may be a jesult of Viet Nam and Watergate, Picha has said.

Regent James Moylan of Omaha said he has received about 20 responses because of the add but that he did not think it feasible to build a new stadium or that now would be the right time. Grand Island regent Robert Koefoot said he received between 15 and 20 responses to the ad but said he felt the stadium should be increased in size by less than 10,000 seats. j w cur coupon m W 01C FREE HAMBURGER rot COUPON I 1 i H2EE 1 KAkSDlEMSHl ! i vxzzn you cuv tco 1 f A i - - f 1 mm m NowatWemly'sCXd Fashioned Hamburgers this I coupon entitles you to a free f Single Hamburger with the puroiase of , two hamburgers 5 i of anwsbe.
