Muskie, others discuss Middle East this week
Former U.S. Secretary of State Edmund
Muskie will be a featured speaker at the
Middle East symposium at UNL Wednes
day, Thursday and Friday.
Muskie will speak on "Israel, the Middle
Fast and United States National Interests"
at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the main ball
room of the Hilton Hotel. After his speech,
Muskie will attend a public reception
in the Hilton's Nebraska Room. He also
will appear at a press conference Wednes
day afternoon at the Lincoln airport.
The symposium, which will feature
15 noted scholars from universities in the
United States and Israel, is to be an in
depth analysis of national interests in
America as they are affected by Israel
and other Middle East nations.
"We're presenting a balanced panel
of scholars whose views, although vastly
different from each other, are marked by
their objectivity and search for truth and
the best policies that will secure peace
for the troubled region with which the
future of America has been so intricately
involved," said Dr. Ivan Volgyes.
Volgyes is a professor of political
science at UNL and is co-chairman of the
symposium.
Harry Allen, UNL director of insti
tutional research and planning, is the
other co-chairman.
Themes to be discussed at the sympos
ium include: "Birth and Rebirth of
Nations in the Middle East"; "Cultures
and Societies of the Middle East: The
Dillemma of Change"; "Military Security
and United States National Interests";
"The Middle East: Crossroads of Relig
ion"; "Israeli Agriculture: Relevance to
Developed and Developing Countries";
and "The Middle East and the Soviet
Union."
"With the cooperation of the NU
Foundation and the private sector, we
will provide a forum for exploration
of a subject of great importance," said NU
President Ronald Roskens.
"The breadth of knowledge of the par
ticipants is but one indication of the
quality of the symposium," Roskens said.
James Leonard, a career diplomat
who was a deputy special negotiator on
the Middle East from 1979 to 1981, will
close the symposium with an assessment
of the prospects of peace in the Middle
East.
In addition to speeches, a free concert
will be played by Israeli pianist Yifram
Bronfman at 8 p.m. Thursday in Kimball
Recital Hall. The 23-year-old Bronfman
has performed with the New York, Phila
delphia, Los Angeles, San Diego and Minn
esota orchestras.
RHA will study crowded
cafeteria, visitation hours
The Residence Hall Association
established two committees Thursday
night, one dealing with overcrowding in
Selleck cafeteria, and the other with a 0-24
hour visitation policy in residence halls.
The Selleck cafeteria is becoming in
creasingly overcrowded during weekday
lunches, and Selleck residents are upset
about it, said Sue MacDonald, Selleck
president.
The Selleck hall government had
originally planned to establish two 10
minute periods during which only Selleck
residents would be admitted to the
cafeteria, but the plan was not accepted by
the housing office.
Since Selleck is the only hall offering a
fast-food line, the association formed a
committee to study the possibility of in
stalling fast-food service in one or two
other halls next year.
A motion also was passed establishing a
committee to deal with a 0-24 hour visita
tion proposal.
Smith Hal! representative Ann Jensen
will head the committee unless another
person contacts RHA President Robin
Lynch this week.
The association also confirmed the
appointment of Ron Geis as RHA parlia
mentarian. Geis is a freshman animal sci
ence major living in Burr Hall.
In other business, ASUN President Rick
Mockler spoke briefly to RHA members
about a United States Student Association
conference in Washington, D.C., April 10
through 14.
Funding from the administration help
ed cover transportation costs, and the
ASUN Senate paid $500 for registration
fees, Mockler said. ASUN is sending seven
or eight people to the conference.
Since costs also are being kept low by
staying at local residences, Mockler en
couraged any RHA member to attend the
conference, at a cost of about $200.
Also at Thursday's meeting, RHA
officially designated April as RHA Aware
ness Month. A newsletter containing infor
mation about RHA and its members will be
sent out to residents this week to promote
more awareness.

Uranium mining . . .
Continued from Page 1
Another legal problem to be resolved
involves the presence of oil and gas comp
anies in Fort Robinson State Park.
Both Amoco Minerals Co. and Dalco
drove claim stakes into parts of the park,
believing they were within federal law.
Park employees later pulled up the some
220 stakes, and Amoco has since with
drawn its claims.
The state attorney general's office
and the Game and Parks Commission
say the companies acted legally, but the
issue is a complicated one.
Clark said the companies have rights
to stake property under a federal mining
act enacted in 1877, but that it depends on
which part of the park the stakes were in,
since some parts of the park were purchas
ed by the state and immune from federal
jurisdiction.
The state currently owns the surface
rights to the park, but the federal govern
ment owns the mineral rights, leading most
observers to believe the issue will be de
cided in federal courts.
The park situation is delicate because
state officials and conservationists believe
mining should not be present in land set
aside for recreational use, particularly in an
area with the historical significance of Fort
Robinson.
City must decide
Concerns have been raised about con
taminating and overtaxing the water supply
in the park, but oil and gas company
officials said there will be no park damage.
Another possible legal development
involves Crawford, which itself may be
sitting on top of a sizeable uranium de
posit. City officials and residents there are
caught between the facts that, although the
city is in need of outside industry and
economic growth, if mining were allowed
the consequences for an already shaky
water supply would be unknown.
If it is determined that the city is in
deed sittting on a uranium deposit, and
exploratory companies feel it is worth
looking into, then the city will have to
decide what kind of laws enact and how
much to rely on outside help in the form
of federal and state agencies.
There is a Nov. 8 deadline for the state
to develop a plan to regulate uranium
development, or the federal government,
in the form of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, will do it for them.
