Gasoline up: wet fields, low crude supply blamed
iiydiannklutzi
An increasing price for crude oil has
caused an increase in gasoline prices al Lin
coln gasoline stations.
Bus Whitehead, president of Whitehead Oil
Company at 2f37 Randolph St., said that oil
companies don't have a supply of crude oil.
Dealers let their tank supplies fall, hoping
that gas prices wouldn't go down after they
filled them, Whitehead said. Now gas stations
are using a secondary supply, because the
first supply was used up, Whitehead said.
Whitehead said another reason that gaso
line prices are up is that the "price of doing
business goes up." The weather and farmers
have affected the market, Whitehead said.
Because of the weather, farmers have not
been working in their fields and using crude
oil.
Whitehead Oil Company is the wholesaler
to all Phillips fifi stations in Lincoln, White
head said.
"Fuel is short," said Chuck Salem, presi
dent of Salem Oil at 1234 N. 14th St. There is a
strong relationship between volume and
price, Salem said. If gas is available, it is sold
at a lower profit for the station, Salem said.
But when volume is not plentiful, gas prices
go up.
No one knows what is going to happen,
Salem said. Stations are not aggressive now
with prices. C.asoline prices are "closer than
they use to be," Salem said.
Salem Oil Company is the wholesaler to
most Amoco and unbranded stations in the
Lincoln area, Salem said.
Dan llergert, vice president of Mergert Oil
Company at 240 I' St., sells crude oil to
Conoco stations in Lincoln.
llergert said he received a telegram from
Conoco that gasoline is increasing in price,
llergert said he does not know why. Conoco
did not give any reasons. "They don't tell us
much," llergert said.
Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
Since June 20, 40,000 political prisoners
have been held and tortured in Khomini's
Shah-made prisons. In eleven months,
15,000 people, even pregnant women have
been executed or hanged.
Khomeini's regime new trend was
maked on June 20 when his anti-popular
guards turned a 500,000 strong peaceful
demonstration into a blood-bath; and since
then an average of 100 political prisoners
have been put before the firing squads
every day. Among these martyrs are teen
age girls and boys arrested by Khomeini's
guards protesting against repression, sup
pression and participation in demonstra
tion. To silent the angry masses the crimi
nal regime of Khomeini finds no alterna
tive but further executions.
Since June 20, the officially acknowl
edged number of the excecuted has gone
beyond 4,000, many of them Mojaheds
(memi)crs and supporter of the people's
Mojahedin Organization of Iran), and this
is while there are quite reliable reports
concerning the secret mass murder of 150
people's Mojaheds a month ago, who at
midnight were transferred from the Kvin
prison to an unknown location and later
their bodies were delivered to the ceme
tery collectively.
Despite all this, the new murderous
prosecutor of Khomeini, issued an order
by which Khomeini's guards can try on the
spot and execute suspected people on the
streets.
In this light. I ask all freedom loving
and progressive people to condemn
Khomeini, 1 this ruthless criminal and his
corrupt regime by any means possible;
and to support the Iranian people's just
struggle for freedom, independence, and
social just ice.

Shows created for access channel
Last fall free air time on Cablevision be
came a hot item in Lincoln. In 10 months
Cablevision expanded community access pro
gramming from one hour to 12 hours a week.
Bob Olson, director of community program
ming, said that since last September, 20 to 25
groups have created their own television
shows for the access channel.
A variety of programs has been on thhe
air. For example, Olson said, one person
produced a half-hour program with local mu
sicians. In late July or early August.
"Shadows of a Forethought," a two-hour origi
nal movie will be aired. The plot is a love
triangle with a dash of suspense and drama,
he said.
Olson said two recent programs were on
Lincoln primary voting issues. One was on the
jail bond issue and the other on opinions of
the sexual orientation amendment.
Because he anticipates more growth of
community programming, Olson said, Cable
vision is looking for an additional studio. How
ever, he said, he doesn't know whether Cable
vision or the city will operate the new studio.
Olson said he encounters problems when
two groups request the same air time. The
problem usually is solved first-come, first
served, he said.
Cablevision promoted community access
with eight workshops, held from late fall to
early spring. The workshops gave the public
an opportunity to learn about of television
production, he said. According to Olson, about
40 people attended each workshop. He said
the workshops will resume in September.
