Open eyes to volunteers
Mr. Warren, 1 must agree with you in the beginning and
end of your witty editorial in the Tuesday Daily Nebras
kan (Dec. 8) on public opinion polls. I don't trust public
opinion polls, and I don't like being reduced to a statis
tic. Hut you hit a soft spot with me.
There arc an awful lot of student volunteers out there
in the land of Gallup, and with the reduced funding for
students, the ones that do find time to work with organi
zations deserve a hell of a lot of credit. Not only are there
college volunteer organizations that do help the sick, aged
and poor, (i.e. Campus Red Cross, Circle K) but there are
hundreds of dedicated self-sacrificing students on this
campus who make it a much more enjoyable and educa
tional place to live. Or maybe you would like to see us all
help ourselves and let the regents and administration bring
Shoplifting law clarified
In reference to your article "Tis the season to be wary
of shoplifters making merry" which ran in the Dec. 4 is
sue of the Daily Nebraskan, I must add an additional com
ment. Lt. Roberts of the Lincoln Police Department stat
ed that he tells merchants "they must be sure the person
goes outside the store with the merchandise . . ."
This is a safe way of securing a 100 percent legitimate
apprehension of a shoplifter by a merchant who is not ful
ly educated in the art of shoplifter detection and appre
hension. But beware.
The law does not say that a person must remove mer
chandise from the store, i.e. outside the front door, be
fore he has committed the crime of larceny (shoplifting).
This is a fallacy.
Lt. Roberts is a highly qualified individual, and the
information he presented is correct. The only problem is
that all merchants do not follow these guidelines. I am
currently a security officer working for a Lincoln mer
chant. I have been apprehending shoplifters for six years
now. The organization I work for is professional, and we
strictly adhere to state law and city ordinance. We pros
ecute 100 percent ot the time, no exceptions.
If you think you must remove merchandise from the
store, think about it. You might save a hefty sum in fines,
court costs and might even stay out of jail. You might
the speakers and arts and activities that they would like to
see.
So open your bloodshot eyes and take a look around at
who is doing the work. Just remember throughout these
holidays that "not a creature was stirring, not even a
11101180" but if you listen real hard, you just may hear a
volunteer.
And to all the people who gave up their time to make
this university a better place to work (especially the great
est concerts committee ever), thanks a helluva lot. See
you at the next blood drive, Reid.

even save yourself from public ridicule and humilation
by not allowing your name to be printed in the newspaper
under "court news."
Christmas is a happy time. Don't be foolish.

Money dispute childish
My letter is in response to all the letters and comments
published in the Daily Nebraskan over the past few weeks,
concerning the UNL band and regent's money controver
sy. I feel all of the squabbling over who gets how much
money is one of the most childish things I have ever
witnessed. Neither the band nor the regents earned the
right to go to the Orange Bowl, the football team did.
All this fighting between administrators and band
members is demoralizing to me, and makes me wonder
whether the Orange Bowl is a game between two excellent
football teams, or just a spree for some privileged in
dividuals. I just feel this issue should be settled right now. It
would be an awful shame to go to Miami with the public
attention focused on money controversies, instead of
what it should be focused on: Nebraska football.
