LASCO to join in Washington protest
ByJcdiNyprsn
Lincoln's Latin American Solidarity Committee
will join numerous groups from across the nation
Saturday in a Coalition Protest March in Washing
ton, to demonstrate opposition to UJS. intervention
in Central America and the Caribbean.
"Instead of waiting for an election year, we're pro
testing as a united group to show the government
we're upset with their recent actions," said Ann
Aldrich, a UNL junior in the College of Arts and
Science and co-chairperson of LASCO.
At least ,25 Lincoln citizens and several others
from various parts of Nebraska plan on traveling to
Washington, Aldrich said. Ethnic, religious and
solidarity groups labor leaders, and former govern
ment leaders will participate in the march.
Aldrich said the protesters have three demands.
They include stopping UJS. intervention in Central
America and the Caribbean and promoting non
participation in wars and police actions such as
Vietnam. In addition, they support mere jobs, peace
and justice in the United States, and an end to a
conventional and nuclear arms build-up.
Protestors will rally at the Ellipse, the offices of
Immigration and Naturalization, the Health and
Human Services Department, and the State De
partment Saturday morning, Aldrich stated. Pro
testors will march past the White House Saturday
afternoon.
Travel for the Nebraskans is sponsored by LASCO,
a UNL student group which supports Latin America
solidarity. It was founded in 1031 through the
National Committee and Solidarity with the People
of El Salvador. LASCO's membership includes ap
proximately 100 people, Aldrich said.
Travel and housing for the trip costs each partici
pant $50. Vans will leave Lincoln Thursday and
return Sunday. Anyone interested in participating
should call 475-973S or 435-6068. The march is
sponsored by a broad coalition of groups, including
civil rights and women's groups, and Central Ameri
can solidarity groups.

UWV gets 'shot in arm'
from unusual source
By Christopher Burbach
West Virginia University, strapped for funds much
like our own University of Nebraska, will get a quar
ter of a million dollar shot in the arm from an unus
ual source.
Tom Shupe, associate athletic director at West
Virginia, said the UWV athletic department is trans
ferring $250,WU to the university.
Shupe said West Virginia's economy, which depends
mainly on the strength of coal and steel markets, is
weak, and has caused financial duress at UWV.
University staff and faculty have gone without
pay raises for two years, and there has been talk of
cutting some academic programs, Shupe said.
"We want a strong athletic department, but we
have to remember what academic institutions are
all about. Our coaches, staff and players need assu
rances that the academic part of our university is
strong.
"We had some dollars, so we thought we would
help out wherever we could," he added.
Shupe said West Virginia's athletic department
only recently has become financially independent.
That independence followed the university football
team's arrival as a national power during the last
three years.
Their football team has had four straight TV
appearances this year. The athletic department also
split money received from its 1983 Gator Bowl
appearance with the university, Shupe said.
"The university helped us out in the past, now the
tables are turned.
"We don't want our athletic program to be stronger
than the university. You don't want the tail to wag
the dog" he said. -
University of Nebraska officials said such an event
has not happened here in the past and is not Jikely
' to happen in the future.
John Goebel, vice chancellor for Business and
Finance at UNL, said although the athletic depart
ment has made significant contributions to the uni
versity, he knows of no direct transfer of funds from
the athletic department to the university.
"I'm not aware that anything of that nature has
happened in the past, and, given the escalating costs i
of those types of activities (athletics), I can't see it ;
happening in the future," Goebel said. - "
UNL Sports Information Director Don Bryant :
said he also knows of nothing like the West Virginia
case occuring here. However, he was quick to point
out the athletic department's role in supporting the
university.
"We're probably the biggest subsidizes of univer
sity services," Bryant said.
He said, among other things, the athletic depart
ment pays tuition, food and dormitory fees for scho
larship athletes.
"We're constantly generating funds for the univer
sity," he said.
The Nebraska football team can't possibly split its
share of bowl money with the university, because,
unlike UWV, the Cornhuskers are in a conference,
Bryant said. The conference gets all but one-eighth
of its member's bowl income.
