UNO recently hired a legislative lobbyist to work
for the removal of $1.8 million from the UNL faculty
budget, the UNL Faculty Senate was told at Tues
day's monthly meeting.
The UNO AAUP apparently feels if they can elim
inate this from the budget, this will encourage col
lective bargaining on the UNL campus" Faculty
Senate President Maurice E. Baker said.
If both campuses are using, the
AAUP, UNO will be able to ride UNL's coattails for
salary budgets, Baker said. .
Faculty salaries were the subject of the new busi
ness for the meeting. A motion was passed to
strongly urge NU President Ronald Roskens to
recommend to the Board of Regents that at least 60
percent of the salary increases be across-the-board
and 40 percent based on performance. The vote was
tied, and passed on the chairman's vote.
The Teaching Council, reported that declining
funding has limited the number and amount of
grants and fellowships available. In the past seven
years, the Teaching Council has had four large cuts
in addition to declining annual support.
According to the report, the seven-year period
represents an 89 percent reduction in budget allo
cations from all sources to support faculty teaching
projects and travel supportive of teaching.
A motion was passed to make the funding of the
Teaching Council a top priority.
- A motion was also passed for the Committee on
Committees to consider the worthiness of the Calen
dar and Examinations Committee.

Yields only two states
Hart emerges winner on 'Super Tuesday'
WASHINGTON Sen. Gary Hart Tuesday trounced
Walter Mondale in three more major primary elec
tions and left the former vice president eatirg his
dust in the race for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
With firm trends established in the most impor
tant of the "Super Tuesday" primary votes, the Colo
rado senator was cl'rly rompir.g to easy ..victories',
in Florida, Massachusetts - the two biggest prizes
of the day and Rhode Island, while yielding only
Alabama and apparently Georgia to Mondale.
ABC News projected Mondale the winner in Geor
gia in what looked like an embarrassingly close
shave for a state where he had endorsements from
ex-president Jimmy Carter and the widow and
father of the late black leader Martin Luther King.
Results from 78 percent of Georgia polling sta
tions gave Mondale 30 percent of the vote to 28
percent for Hart, 18 for Rev. Jesse Jackson and 18
for Ohio Sen. John Glenn, the former astronaut
whose White House dreams now seem shattered.
In Massachusetts, partial returns gave Hart 38
percent, Mondale 26, 1972 Democratic presidential
nominee George McGovern 20 and the rest split.
In Florida, Hart led Mondale by a clear 40 to 28
percent and was out front by 48 to 39 percent in
Rhode Island.
Mondale retaliated in Alabama, leading with 33
percent while Glenn and Hart dueled for second
about 10 percentage points behind. Jackson failed
to dominate the black vote in Alabama as expected
and was running fourth. :
Although Mondale kept his campaign and come
back hopes alive with his two southern wins, Florida
and Massachusetts were by far the biggest states
involved Tuesday and wins there probably vaulted
Hart ahead for the first time in delegates to the:
Democratic presidential nominating convention.
Mondale still had hopes of more comeback wins
when late returns came in from four party caucus
votes in Nevada, Oklahoma, Hawaii and Washington
State.
Now, the major focus is Saturday's Michigan cau
cus, where Mondale is well-organized and where his
aides said he hopes to reverse the pattern of Hart
victories that began with the Feb. 28 New Hamp
shire primary.

r. Ruth vJesiheimer brings sexual eocpsrtise to . UNL

Today's society is sexually illiterate;
there are many things people don't
know about sex, Dr. Ruth Westheimer
said Monday in the Nebraska Union
Centennial Room during a talk spon
sored by UPC's Talks and Topics Com
mittee. Westheimer, a psycho-sexual thera
pist and an adjunct associate profes
sor at New York Hospital-Cornell Uni
versity Medical Center, has broadened
the world of sexuality with her Sunday
night radio program, "Sexually Speak
ing," and has appeared on numerous
national talk shows including The 7b
. night Show and Late Night with David
Letterman.
Westheimer said American society is
based on the Victorian ethic, which
implies that women cannot achieve
sexual satisfaction. She described a
situation in which a mother told her '
daughter on her wedding night to "jiist
lay there, and think of England," since,
she wouldn't experience any pleasure,
anyway.

However, according to the psycho
therapist, Masters and Johnson did a
study on 140,000 sexual intercourse
cases which showed that 65 percent of
American women can achieve sexual
satisfaction during intercourse.
Male sexuality differs from female
sexuality in the sense that sexual satis
faction is almost always inevitable,
. Westheimer said.
"When a man has an erection and
the point of no return is reached, even
a fire engine in his bedroom cannot
stop him," Westheimer said.
The doctor commented on the popu
lar myths of masturbation in Ameri
can society and stressed the impor
tance of parents teaching their child
ren that masturbation is not a for
bidden act, but rather something that
society deems a private act.
She also commented on the myths
about pregnancy, which include false
beliefs about conception resulting
from intercourse standing up or douch
ing with Coca-Cola after sex.
Westheimer described her method
of dealing with individuals' private
problems, which includes giving them
sexual status examinations. ,
"I ask the most detailed questions
about the couple or the individual so
that I can get a good picture of the
problem in order to be a good thera
pist. Right now I could tell you what
couples A, B and C are doing because I
told them what to do," she said.
On her radio show, Westheimer ans
wers questions about relationships
and sexuality. Each night approximate
ly 4,000 people try to call, but only fif
teen to-twenty get through, she said.
Her most unusual call was from a
man who described his relationship
with his girlfriend as being loving and
good, but that she had an odd habit.
"He told me that his girlfriend liked
to throw onion rings on his erect
penis," Westheimer said.
