Death pepalty protest k jrlaratBd
A silent protest against the death penalty is planned
Wednesday when the Nebraska Supreme Court convenes
at the UNL Law College to hear arguments in five cases.
A group calling itself Law Students Against the Death
Penalty has planned the protest and has written a letter to
Supreme Court justices explaining why the protest was
planned. 1
Iii the letter, the group says imposition of the penalty
is arbitrary and unjust. .
"In view of the fact that Gov. (Charles) Thone vetoed
the Legislature's repeal of the death penalty last year and
that the Nebraska Supreme Court has set execution dates
for three persons on death row, we feei it is necessary to
raise our concerns," the letter said. ,
Laura Beard, a freshman law student and member of
the student group, said black armbands will be worn dur
ing the court's session.
The group will distribute the armbands before the ses
sion begins, and will be taking names and comments of
persons opposed to the penalty.
Charles Starkweather, executed in 1959, was the last
person to die in Nebraska's electric chair.
Last year, the Legislature passed a bill sponsored by
Omaha Sen. Ernie Chambers that would have replaced the
death penalty with a mandatory 30 year prison sentence,
but Thone vetoed the bill after the legislative session.
Chambers has introduced an identical bill this year,
which recently received its public hearing. Thone has said
he will veto the bill again if it passes.
Environmental group
seeks new member
Citizens for Environmental Improvement, a Lincoln
non-profit organization, is looking for a new board mem
ber to serve the city and incorporate new ideas and goals,
board member Terry Johnson said.
Currently the citizens' group operates the recycling
centers on North 33rd Street, the City County Building
and 56th Street and Normal Boulevard, Johnson said.
This year is the 10th anniversary for the group the
purpose of which is to involve Lincolnites in the environ,
ment, Johnson said.
But, Johnson said, "We are reorganizing and branching
out into some other areas. We need some new members
with new ideas and energy."
The expanding areas, Johnson said, include an organic
gardening class he taught this year at Southeast Commun
ity College. ,
The group also isowrking cn programs for Earth Day
April 22, a day of environmental promotion, Johnson
said. ;
