Faculty Senate opposes
reallocation resolution
A resolution stating that the UNL Faculty Senate
disapproved, of the faculty role in the recently
announced curriculum reallocation process was
defeated Tuesday at the senate's monthly meeting.
The resolution, proposed by Elizabeth Petrakis,
assistant professor in the School of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation, was intended to notify
the UNL Administration that the faculty did not
approve of the procedures by which certain pro
v grams werenqminste
Part of the purpose of the motion was to ciscVur
age faculty members from recommending their col
leagues' courses for elimination, Petrakis said dur
1 ing discussion. : ., .
Faculty Senate President Maurice Baker said if
faculty members were not allowed to make certain
' recommendations, faculty presidents and college
deans would probably have to make such proposals
by themselves. ;
After discussion, the motion was defeated by a
. voice vote. -
In other action, the Senate voted to adopt a
statement of basic philosophy concerning the role
and responsibilities of the UNL Police Department.
The statement, drafted by the Senate's Police
Committee, discussed ths joint responsibility of
both the students and the police in maintaining
campus security. The statement . said ". . . the
appropriate role of the police department is one .
. that supports security with openness and consulta
tion while employing the minimal use of force and
police power." -.. - ... .. . -
The Senate also received reports from the Convo-'
cations, University Library, Grievance and. Compu
tational Services and Facilities committees. .
'- The Senate also voted on nominations for the;
Academic Freedom Award. Results will be released '

First District Rep. Doug Bereuter said Tuesday
night that the U.S. Marines peacekeeping force
should not be in Lebanon.
Bereuter, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, said he was one of six representatives
on the committee who voted against keeping the
peacekeeping force in Lebanon. The vote was 30-6.
The peacekeeping force cannot obtain the goals
set by Secretary of State George Schultz, he said.
One of the goals is to "protect and reconstruct the
entity of Lebanon."
The religious, ethnic and political groups who are
antagonists are "too diverse to expect to put the
pieces back together in Lebanon."
Chaos would result if the Marines pulled out, he
said, but the complexity of the situation makes it
logical to withdraw.
"Who do we shoot back at if one of our ships was
hit with a missile?" he asked. The Syrians? The PLO?
Maybe Lebanon never made sense in the constitu
tional form it now takes."
- Although Lebanon is the "hottest foreign relations
issue right now," the economy is the most important
issue to Nebraskans, Bereuter said.
Interest rates are coming down slowly and so are
unemployment rates, he said. However, the deficit
continues to be a major problem.
Bereuter said the estimated federal deficit is $203
billion. $ 1 60 billion to $ 1 65 billion of the deficit is not
structural, he said, and is a result of the recession.
As the economy moves out of the recession, the
deficit should decrease.
Increased defense spending, which Bereuter said
he opposes, and growing health care costs have
contributed to the deficit. Decreased spending for
Medicare, limits on federal spending and additional
taxes may decrease the deficit, he said.
Reagan's success with the economy has resulted
in the Democrats emphasizing faults in Reagan's
foreign policy instead of economic issues, Bereuter
said.
Bereuter said he was glad Walter Mondale was the
front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomi
nation because he would be easier to run against.
Bereuter declined to say who would be a more pow
erful opponent.
Bereuter spoke at a UNL College Republicans
meeting.

U.S. ofllcials expect the question cfUU. arms sales
to Taiwan to come up in the talis but note that the
positions of both sides are well known.
China objects to the sales -because it regards

gradually reduce the sales v. hi! 2 China said it would

Other issues that may be discussed include a

to be resolved before the United States can sell
peaceful nuclear tcchnelsy to China.
