City Council denies request
for upgraded liquor license
liy Jeff Goodwin
The Lincoln City Council voted 5-2
Monday afternoon to turn down a request
by N Street Drive-In to have their liquor
license upgraded from a Class "D" lic
ense to a Class "C" license.
The change would have allowed whole
salers to use the premises of N Street to
give out complimentary samples of their
products.
Dick Stoehr, owner of N Street, said the
samples would consist of wines and would
be about six ounces in size.
"The bottom line is that this would im
prove business," Stoehr said. "In other
stores that have done this it has proven to
be very successful."
Stoehr said stores in Denver and Boul
der, Colorado as well as Chicago have in
creased their business by giving out sam
ples. Charles Humble, an attorney represen
ting the Lincoln-Lancaster County Retail
Beverage Association, opposed the granting
of a Class "C" license.
Humble said a stricter state law is need
ed which would define the limits of the
license.
As it exists now, a Class "C" license can
be used to operate a bar.
Humble said a license is needed which
would apply only to the giving out of sam
ples. Humble also said the granting of a Class
"C" license to N Street would lead other
businesses with "D" licenses to try to
attempt to get "C" licenses.
"Everyone will want a Class "C" lic
ense," Humble said. "I don't see how you
will be able to deny it to any local package
store."
Rick Clark, the general manager of
P.O. Pear's, expressed the same concern.
"What concerns me as an operator is
what happens when other people with
Class "D" licenses come to the council.
How are you going to turn them down?"
Clark said.
Eric Youngberg, who voted against up
grading the license, said the Nebraska
Legislature should change the law.
"I think the problem is with the law,"
Youngberg said. "We have to look at pro
tecting the interests of the other "C"
operators."
Mike Steinman, who along with Bill
Danley supported the upgrading of the li
cense, spoke in favor of the proposal.
"We have to do what we would do witli
any business in town," Steinman said.
"We have to give them the opportunity to
expand as much as they can."
NSSA director. . .
Continued from Page 1
The student liaison is a six-month, ro
tating position so that more students can
have input into educational decisions. Burk
said the current student liaison is unable to
communicate effectively because of restric
tions on outside mailings.
"They don't want that opinion of the
student liaison officer going out to the
campuses."
Burk, NSSA board member Nette
Nelson and NSSA legislative assembly
chair Deb Chapelle visited Nebraska's
congressional members during their Wash
ington tiip. Burk said U.S. Sens. F.dward
Zorinsky and J.J. Lxon seemed willing to
work with the NSSA and listen to its views
on student issues.
Burk called for letter-writing campaigns
and call-ins to get more students involved.
The voter registration drive that the NSSA
is co-sponsoring with ASUN's Government
Liaison Committee is also essential, he said.
"It's very important to vote. Otherwise
congressional delegation and state legisla
tors won't listen because we don't have the
backing of the students," Burk said.
According to Burk, the student rally
in Washington got press attention that
student issues had never received before.
"It was die largest organized effort
against any of the budget cuts going on
this year."
The NSSA legislative assembly voted
Sunday to wait to elect new officers until
the next assembly in October and to sus
pend the rule requiring new elections
until then.
Burk said the wait was advisable so that
UNO and Wayne State College could help
choose NSSA officers. UNO and Wayne
State have voted to join the organization
next fall; UNL and Peru State College are
already members.
"Having only these two schools elect
the officers for all five schools may greatly
hinder the credibility we have gained thus
far," Burk wrote in a letter to NSSA
members.
UNL professor to teach in China
Dean Rugg, professor of geography at
UNL, will teach at the University of Sun-Yat-Scn
in Canton, China, this spring
through the university's China Exchange
Program.
Roberto Esquenazi-Mayo, director of
the Institute for International Studies, said
other UNL professors have taught in China
in the exchange program.
Esquenazi-Mayo said about 15 Chinese
scholars have visited UNL.
The program expands international edu
cation and is an opportunity, for UNL
faculty to learn about Chinese culture and
education, Esquenazi-Mayo said.
Rugg has been a member of the UNL
faculty since 1964. He has been a carto
.grapher and geographer for the U.S.
government and has traveled abroad fre
quently for the government.
