A ward winner: teacher
must impart philosophy
S
BY 1)1 ANN K LUTZI
Teachers must not teach their subject
area alone, but also the philosophies and per
spectives on life, said Sang Lee, professor and
chairman of the Department of Management
at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Lee said teaching is exciting when stu
dents get excited about what he is doing and
lecturing about. "That's a wonderful feeling."
"Good teachers are people that do a lot of
research," Lee said. Research provides
knowledge to students, he said. "You can't get
excited if you teach the same thing over and
over," Lee said. Both the professor and stu
dents need something new and different.
A professor must put effort in to teaching
in order to be good, he said. To be a success
ful teacher, one "has to identify with students
and take interest in students." A teacher must
try to have lasting relationships with students,
Lee said.

Lee has received the Amoco Award for
distinguished teaching. He was nominated by
students in the College of Business Adminis
tration. Lee came to UN-L in 1976 as professor and
chairman of the Department of Management.
Lee taught at Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
where he won a similar teaching award.
Lee is interested in Japanese manage
ment, lie helped to organize the Japan-United
States Business Conference held at UN-L in
October of 1981. The conference gave Amer
ican corporations a chance to learn and share
ideas with Japanese corporations.
In 1972, 2 percent of all Japanese-made
cars were on the American market, Lee said.
Today, the figure is at 25 percent. Because of
.Japanese management techniques, Japanese
workers produce more cars than any other
country, her said.
The only way the United States can fight
imbalance in the economy is with production,
he said. Japanese management may provide
some keys to fighting inflation in America, he
said.
The next conference is planned for April of
1983 in Tokyo. Lee will be program chairman
for the American corporations.
Lee is teaching a graduate class and an
undergraduate class during the first five
week summer session. He said he likes to
teach at least one undergraduate course dur
ing the year to keep in contact with all stu
dents. Lee is writing a book about Japanese man
agement with Gary Schwendiman, dean of
the College of Business Administration. It will
be published this summer for use by Amer
ican corporations.

many farmers to alter their normal herbicide

Hot pursuit of fleeing cars
frowned on at law agencies
BY MARK KRIEGER
The pursuit of a suspected criminal by car
is one of the most dangerous assignments for
a police officer and often endangers the lives
of many innocent people.
Because of the risk involved in pursuit, the
Lincoln Tolice Department and the Nebraska
State Tatrol have guidelines to make pursuit
and apprehension of a suspect as safe as pos
sible. Police policy states that pursuit of a car is
justifiable only "when the necessity of imme
diate apprehension outweighs the level of
danger created by the pursuit."
The patrol policy says a car may be
chased when "in the officer's judgement, a
law violator clearly exhibits the intent to
avoid arrest by using a vehicle to flee."
Pursuit policy became controversial in
1980 when Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha in
troduced a bill in the Nebraska Legislature
which would have placed heavy restrictions
on the use of high speed chases.
"That would be detrimental to society,"
said Lt. Lyle Roberts of LPD.
He said that all a felon would have to do is
speed up faster than the officers were al
lowed to go and get away.
Maj. Don Olson of the patrol said such a
bill would not be in the interest of the public.
"It would definitely place an extra burden
on law enforcement," he said.
The patrol has an annual training program
to teach patrolmen methods of safe pursuit
and apprehension, Olson said.
Both agencies allow only two cars to be in
volved in a pursuit unless conditions warrant.
"Any more cars in direct pursuit would
only add more elements of danger to the com
munity," said Roberts.
Pushing a fleeing car to the side of the
road with a squad car is used often in movie
chase scenes.
Patrol policy states that this method may
be used "only when all other possible means
of arrest have been exhausted and immediate
apprehension is imperative."
Lincoln police officers are forbidden to
strike a fleeing car with a police car and are
recommended not to overtake a fleeing sus
pect because of the danger to themselves.
