CFA recommends' student fee increase
UNL students may face an increase in student
fees for the Daily Nebraskan and the Association of
Students of the University of Nebraska as a result of
the Committee for Fees Allocation meeting Tuesday
evening.
The committee voted unanimously to recommend
that $39,193 be allocated to the Daily Nebraskan for
the 1G34-85 fiscal year. If approved by ASUN and
UNL Chancellor Martin Massengale, the budget will
represent an increase of 2.5 percent or $946 from the
1 933-84 budget. Students will likely pay 02 cents per
semester for the Daily Nebraskan next year.
Dan Shattil, Daily Nebraskan general manager,
originally submitted a request for $40,159, a 5 per
cent increase from the 1933-84 budget. The CFA
Daily Nebraskan subcommittee report indicates an
increase in Daily Nebraskan advertising revenue
should offset increases in production costs and "will
not adversely affect the quality of the Daily Neb
raskan." Thi3 increase should also support semi-weekly
publishing of the Daily Nebraskan during the sum
mer, according to the report

In testimony Tuesday student representation on

ASUN president Matt Wallace and treasurer Greg
Carstens presented a detailed request for $73,368
for ASUN's 1034-85 fiscal year. Allocations for the
Electoral Commission, the Government Liaison Com
mittee and Student Legal Services, all under the
jurisdiction of ASUN, were included in the request.
Changes in the budget stemmed from a restruc
tured accounting system and reorganized record
keeping, Wallace said.
"In my own mind, I know I can justify every
expense in this thing," Wallace said. "WeVe tried to
keep senate expenditures down."
Office expenses made up the only portion of the
ASUN request to see a decrease in funds from the
1083-84 fiscal year. This resulted from a $200
change in their photocopier maintenance agree
ment. The proposal seeks $5,128 as opposed to the
projected actual 1033-84 expenditure of $5,335 for
office maintenance.
Other budgetary requests are $3,435 for senate
expenditures; $22,300 for salaries excluding Stu
dent Legal Services; $5,303 for the Electoral Com
mission; $1,183 for GLC and $36,009 for Student
Legal Services.

Civil disobedience
against war urged
By Sidlie Simmons
America is determined to be No. 1 without regard
for the real truth of loving one another, Rev. Vernon
Schmid said Monday when he spoke about "Divine
Obedience in Civil Disobedience" at Wesley House.
Schmid has been arrested and tried for demon
strations at the General Electric space center plant
in Pennsylvania, a form of civil disobedience he
wants to share with others.
"Civil disobedience is the step we take out of our
understanding of our faith in God," Schmid said.
Schmid, Methodist chaplain at the University of
Delaware, acts as a sentry, he said, protecting his
congregation from the "evil ones." General Electric,
DuPont and General Motors, for example, are "in the
business of producing death," according to "The
Pastor's Duty to Stand Sentry," which Schmid wrote
and provided for the 45 people in attendance.
"There is no freedom, freedom, of speech, or any
thing if you think about it," Schmid said. "Being free
is being willing to lose it alL"
Schmid said his most free moment was when he
was in the paddy wagon after he'd been arrested.
"I suddenly realized they didn't have me. had
those buggers!" :
" To protect and save people is not only the cause
for the peace movement, but for the military as well,
Schmid said. He was in the Army for one year, dur
ing the Korean War, when he was 1 8, and, he said, he
was glad to get out. He said he doesn't know why
there is a military, but it's wrong because it kill3
people.
"People dont kill people, human beings like them
selves," he said. "They kill faceless enemies.
"The military has power, but its purpose to pro
tect is a farce. Our people were on Griffiss Air Force
Base for three hours before security knew they were
there. There's no security on military bases, or any
where," he said.
Though the group managed to damage several
planes in a high-security level hangar, Schmid said,
"they caused no serious damage." He also said inside
military personnel may have helped the peace
movement members to get on base and provide
information on the planes. So, he said, not all mil
itary people are "fooled by illusions."
"People are living in a world of illusions. Hearts
and minds have to be changed," he said. "There was
a time when people took care of each other."

Committee shoots for local film productions
ByJudiNygren
The Hollywood limelight may once
again shine on Lincoln, say members of
Mayor Roland Luedtke's Film
Committee.
Jim Crounse, a member of the com
mittee, said Tuesday that five to six .
production companies are interested
in filming in Lincoln.
Among them is the pilot comedy, Oh
Brother, produced by David Doyle and
Deanne Barkley, Crounse said. Accord
ing to an article in Variety, the half:
hour show covers the lives of two
brothers living in Nebraska. If the pilot
earns a spot on the fall lineup, Crounse
said some location shots may take
place in Lincoln.
James Ritzman, the film committee's
promotion chairman, said that in order .
to draw production companies to Lin
coln, cards were mailed to East and
West coast companies. Companies .
which return the cards receive promo
tion packets, he said. " :
. Lincoln, the committee's version of -Variety,
is included in the packets, he
saia. i ne committee aiso is worKing on
ci directory of Lincoln on sin
services that want to help in produc
tions, Ritzman said. The directory will
be printed when a sufficient number of
organizations ask to be included in the
book, he said.
Rod Bates, the film committee's bus
iness and liaison chairman, said UNL
also has offered its services. Faculty
members have listed the names of UNL
faculty and students who have pro
ducing, acting, singing or directing tal
ent, he said.
Crounse said the UNL athletic
department donated Big Red folders
for the information in the promotional
packets. :
The Big Red logo, Crounse said, is
something Hollywood companies
immediately identify with.
"They're impressed with the team,
they're impressed with the school and .
so we're going to take advantage of the
asset," Crounse said.
Red football, Lincoln and the
ary help promote the city, but
committee members still face some
problems, said Jackie Beavers, chair
woman of the film committee. '
Film production is big business for
"good, clean, healthy competition" from
a number of cities.
Chicago is Lincoln's major competi
tor because of a convenient transpor
tation system and a large number of
technical personnel, Beavers said. But,
she said, Nebraska's hospitality is earn
ing Lincoln the reputation of a good
production location.
"Iflwereto quote Paramount (movie
studio) people," Beavers said, "I would
say that we probably have the greatest
people in the world to work with."
Listing Lincoln's other benefits,
Beavers said the city offers economic
advantages, wide open plains and the
memory of the success of Terms of
Endearment. .
Crounse said Lincoln also will receive
benefits if companies begin filming in
the city on a regular basis. The money
generated from production, pride of
seeing the city on screen and the
encouragement of the arts are major
benefits for Lincolnites, he said.
The committee is set up for one year.
At the eni cf that time, the commit
tee's work will be evaluated and deci
sions will be made on whether or not to
continue the work.
