On-campus distribution of grade reports
may become regular attraction at UNL

UNL'a new policy of distributing grade
report sheets on campus instead of
mailing them Is expected to become
permanent but only for fall semesters,
said Ted Pfeifer, director of registra
tion and records.
"It was inconvenient for some stu
dents, but, on the whole, the benefit of
having grades available on the spot
overrides that," Heifer said.
Pfcifer said most complaints came
from parents who wanted to pick up
students' grades and could not with
out written permission.
Students, however, seem to prefer
picking up their own grades.
Amy Tiehen, a sophomore markct-
ing major, said she likes the new policy
because, "we make sure and get them
and they don't go home." Gregg Heffel
fingcr, a sophomore accounting major,
said "it's great," since parents can't get
them and it's an excuse to return to
Lincoln earlier.
It isn't an inconvenience to pick up
grades, said Roger Aden, a senior broad-
. casting and political science major. He
said, however, the change was not well
publicized and this could create a
problem for some students.
Grades can be picked up until Jan.
20 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the multi
purpose room in. the basement of the
: .; 5200 building in Sellcck Quadrangle.

Nichol also said a Reagan administration task- ;,
force report recommended a national drinking age
cf21. '
Peterson said 77 percent of Americans polled by a
national polling firm favored a drinking age of 21. He
also said that last year, a Daily Nebraskan editorial
endorsed the higher drinking age.
Opposition to the bill was led by Sens. Don
Wesely of Lincoln ana uary lianniDal oi umana.
They argued that raising the drinking age would
cause more traffic deaths by forcing 20-year-olds to
travel to neighboring states where they can drink
legally.
In Iowa and Wyoming, the current legal drinking
age is 19. Colorado, South Dakota and Kansas allow "
anyone over 18 to purchase beer with 3.2 percent
alcohol. Missouri is the only bordering state with a
21 -year-old drinking age for all types of alcohol.
Wesely and Hannibal proposed an amendment to
LB56 which would raise the drinking age to 21 on
Jan. 1, 1936, only if surrounding states raised theirs.
The amendment failed 26-22.
Nichol said the amendment was atypical delaying
tactic designed to weaken the biU.
"Here's a chance for Nebraska to be a leader
again," Nichol said.
Nichol said statistics clearly show "the higher the
drinking age, the fewer the accidents."
Sen. Dave Newell of Omaha said raising the drink-,
ing age served no purpose other than to take away a -.
right of 20-year-olds. He said 21 is not the "magic
age" for saving lives. Referring to statistics that show
persons 19 to 24 have the highest incidence of drunk
driving, he said, the Legislature should raise the age
to 25 if reducing traffic deaths is its goaL
Gov. Kerrey was not available for comment, but
last year he said he did not believe raising the drink
ing age would reduce the number of drunk-driving
deaths. " v
If passed, the bill would return the drinking age to
the 1CC3 limit In 10S9, the age was dropped to 20
and then to 19 in 1972. It was returned to 20 in 1980.
Student Watch arranges
additional teams, changes
More patrol teams and shifts in patrol times and
places head the list of changes planned for UNL's
Student Watch Group this semester.
Troy Lair, president of the group that works with
the UNL Police Department to prevent sexual assault,
said teams of two students will patrol high risk
areas from dark until approximately 1 a.m. The
teams will cgin be composed of one male and one
fctal student.
UnS last semester, Lair said, the group will
patrol daily instead of Sundays through Thursdays
only. Police needed the group's rented two-way
radios at football games last semester, so the group
could not patrol every day, Lair said.
Because of cold winter temperatures, the group
will shift patrol emphasis to inside campus build
ings. When student activities move indoors, more
crime occurs there, Lair said. .
One team will be added to both City Campus and
East Campus, he said. The group did not patrol East
Campus last semester. However, the number of
patrols on both campuses will depend on the
number of new student volunteers. ;
The students who do volunteer to patrol this
semester will find a change in the policy. Instead of
following the four-week training session format
used last semester, volunteers will go through a
- one-weekend session on Jan. 23-29 in the Nebraska
Union. ' ' , .a
The format was condensed to prevent volunteers
from missing any training. '
The sessions will include cardiopulmonary resus
citation training, first aid and police training and
work with the Lincoln Rape-Spouse Abuse Crisis
Center. . . , .
Patrols win begin Jan. 30 m two hour shifts and
run until the end of Dead Week.
