Nuckar freeze referendum OK'd in eight states
By Chuck Jagoda
Tuesday's vote on a proposed nuclear
freeze was the largest referendum in the
history of the United .States. Voters
approved the local resolutions in eight"
states, the District of Columbia, and 29
cities and. counties across the country by
an average margin of 60 percent to 40
percent.
But the referendum was defeated in
Arizona by a vote of 41 percent in favor
v J Nuclear
Issues
and 59 percent opposed, with 96 percent
of the vote reporting.
It also lost in Stone County, Ark.,
(40 percent for, 60 percent against). In
Mesa County, Colo., voters disapproved
the measure 47 percent for, 53 percent
against, with' 84 percent of the vote in.
Voters in Kearney supported the
freeze with a final vote of 50.4 percent
in favor and 49.6 percent against.
Tuesday's "vote on the freeze sends
a clear and unprecedented mandate to the
U.S. government to propose to the Soviet
Union an immediate, mutual and verifi
able freeze on the nuclear arms race,"
leaders of the National Nuclear Weapons
Freeze Campaign said in a news release
issued Wednesday. The release was pro
vided by the campaign's national clear
inghouse in St. Louis, Mo.
"The freeze referendums confirmed
what national opinion polls consistently
show: a large majority of the American
people - in most cases, 60 percent to 70
percent - favor a U.S .-Soviet freeze as
a first step toward a mutual reduction
of the nuclear arsenals," the release said.
Brian Coyne, state coordinator of
Nebraska's freeze campaign, said that
while all the referenda are not the same,
each calls for an "immediate, bilateral,
mutually verifiable freeze on the test
ing, production and deployment of nucl
ear weapons."
According to the Lincoln Journal,
the Kearney ordinance requires the city
clerk to write President Reagan, the U.S.
secreatries of state and defense and all
members of Congress and the Nebraska
Legislature, notifying them of the vote.
"Support for the freeze cut across
traditional conservative-liberal lines. For
example, Suffolk County, N.Y., a solidly
Republican area, approved the referendum
by a margin of 2-to-l ," Randall Forsberg,
chairman of the national campaign's
advisory hoard, and Randall KeMer,
national coordinator, said in the news
Financial aid deadline nears
With second semester registration under
way, it's time for students to start thinking
about financial aid for the coming
semester.
Students seeking aid for the spring
semester should fill out a 1982-83 Financ
ial Aid Form (FAF) if they have not
already done so, said Don Aripoli, direct
or of the UNL Office of Scholarships and
Financial Aids. The forms are available
in Administration Building 113.
An applicant also must fill out a second
semester aid application, which will be
available through November. The priority
deadline to submit these forms is Dec. 1,
said Douglas Severs, assistant director of
Scholarships and Financial Aids.
Students who already have been
awarded aid need not reapply, unless they
would like their situation to be re-evaluated.
Congress overrode cuts in student aid
proposed by President Reagan, so the
funds available for the remainder of the
1982-83 academic year are about the same
as in recent years, Aripoli said.
"How far we can stretch it is contin
gent on how many students apply," he
said. Aid available includes work-study
and the National Direct Student Loan
program.
Severs said funds that are not used
in the fall are allocated to second semest
er applicants. This is why funds for sec
ond semester generally are limited, he
said.
Students who want to apply for a
Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) for
second semester also can find the ap
plication forms in Administration Build
ing 113. Eligibility for a loan is deter
mined by the Financial Aid Office.
Because it takes two to three months
to process a GSL application, they should
be submitted as soon as possible and no
later than Feb. 1 for second semester,
Severs said.

release.
Coyne said that the present freeze
movement is a direct development of the
1950s grassroots "ban-the-bomb" move
ment. Fears of "strontium 90" coming
through the atmosphere into milk for
babies regenerated the movement in the
early 60s, he said. It has resurfaced this
year because of the government's new
five-year defense plan.
In answer to the argument that nuclear
policy should be left up to experts, Coyne
said, "We've let the experts handle it
for 37 years - since Hiroshima and Naga
saki - and look where it's gotten us:
50,000 nuclear weapons in the world
and an additional 20,000 predicted within
the next 10 years."
Coyne said that in large measure the
present nuclear weapons situation exists
because of "the iron triangle. The defense
contractors, the Pentagon and the Congres
sional committees all get money from
defense contracts. It's a basic rule of
thumb from a political science point of
view, every institution wants more."
The national freeze campaign plans
to build "on this decisive victory" and
"mount a massive grassroots effort to
persuade Congress and the administration
to carry out the wishes of the majority
of American people.
"The campaign will focus attention
on the passage of freeze resolutions by
both houses of Congress early in the new
session."
