tier drive supports work-study
Nebraska State Student Association members led
a letter drive Tuesday to support LB1057, which
would establish a ;state work-study program for
eligible Nebraska college students.
NSSA set up a booth in the Nebraska Union to
encourgage UNL students to write their state senators
in support of the bill NSSA member Jim Higgins said
his organization provided everything "paper,
envelopes and postage."
Higgins said he was surprised at the number of
students that expressed interest in the bill. He said
eight people wrote letters to their senators within
the first half hour the booth was open.
"We've had really good comments so far " Higgins
said. "Students usually don't know about the bin
when they come here, but we give them the informa
tion they need."
NSSA material distributed said LB 1057 would
allow students to earn supplemental fund3 for their
education while gaining valuable skills through
work experience. To be eligible, students would be
enrolled in eligible colleges at least half-time. Parti
cipants would work in public, non-profit positions
and be paid for actual hours worked. Students
would be paid at least minimum wage. State funds
would make up a maximum of 70 percent of these
wages. The maximum yearly wage would bel,CvO.
Throughout the day, 1 8 students completed letters
and about 40 letters had yet to be turned in, Higgins
said.
The drive generated a lot of input, he said, which
is important since it is an ongoing production. The
drive will continue next week, Higgins said.

Other issues raised were the failure by Unite to
report a free market value on bumper stickers used
in the campaign, possible discrepancies between
the reported cost of campaign buttons and the free
market value, and the failure to report the expense
of one senator's personal poster campaign. ;
The commission, also questioned if the party's
outflows were greater than cash inflows, but no
definite violation was reported.
The commission still needs acceptable financial
accounting to see how much has actually been
spent, the commission said. V
Unite presidential candidate Mike Geiger could
not be reached for comment.
Bailey plans to retire
but won't say goodbye
to memories at UNL
ByKelliKellos ;
. Although English professor Dudley Bailey is retiring
at the-end of. the semester,: he said he has . no
intention of saying goodbye to UNL.
"111 come back until they throw me out," he said,
smiling.
At this point in his 41-year teaching career, being
thrown out seems unlikely. Bailey began teaching at
UNL in 1943. He has served the English department
not only as a professor, but also as director of
freshman English from 1956 to 1962 and department
chairman from 1962 to 1972.
Memories were made duringthose years, and
Bailey said he is unwilling to relinquish them.
. "I was telling my students a few days ago that
when I started here, they gave cards to the teachers
(for attendance)," Bailey said. "Now what do I get? A
printout, and it's never right."
; As an instructor, Bailey dismissed himself with a
wave of his hand.
"I've never been much shakes as a teacher," he
said. "IVe tried to have as much fun as I could, and to
heck with everyone else."
Job training is something that has never interested
Bailey.
"Most students want to be trained," he said. "I'm
not into that. You educate people for life, not for a
job."
His role as instructor, Bailey said, is to open up
doors.
"I try desperately to let students see things like
they haven't before," he said. "What I'm fishing for is
some new way of seeing something."
New ideas "fads," as Bailey calls them are
always coming and going in intellectual studies, he
said, especially English.
"I've gone through three swings of basics, when '
people get all worried about whether people can
spell or not," he said. "It kind of breaks out, like
hives."
But not everything he remembers includes students.
Friendships are also important, he said.
"Some friends from different departments still
meet every day for lunch at the old round table in
the union," he said. "IH continue to come back and
have lunch."
Writing also is important to Bailey. He has written
and edited English textbooks and edited several
sections of Our Wonderful World, a children's
encyclopedic anthology. Most recently, he wrote The
Caretaker's Daughter" for the Prairie Schooner
(spring, 1984).
, "IH write whatever pleases me," Bailey said. "But
the point in being retired is not having to do
anything.""
He plans to take the word literally, he said. Travel
is not on the agenda yet.
"We may travel a little," he said. "My wife (Sue)
likes to, but I hate it. There are more places I'd like to
see, but the itch usually goes away if I sit stilL"
Sitting still for a while is just what Bailey plans to
.- do after this semester ends. '
"After all," he said, "what is retirement for?"

BEIRUT Moslem gunners in We: t Beirut
Tuesday greeted word of a ceasg-fire deadline
from a Lausanne peace conference with a
barrels of rocket and shcllre cir.ed nt Christian '
East Beirut. The artillery fire erupted minutes
after local radio stations announced that the
reconciliation conference had agreed on a 9
p.m. (2 p.m. CST) cease-fire and just seven
minutes before it was due to go into effect. For
15 minutes after the deadline, guns to the
south of the city, apparently in territory held
by Moslem militias, could be heard from rooftop
vantage points in West Beirut firing steadily
into the Christian areas. ,
Aid to Nicarcsunn rcl; ob approved
WASHINGTON A key Senate committee
Tuesday approved President Reagan's request
for more aid to Nicaraguan rebels as the
Pentagon announced fresh military exercises "
in Central America led by the aircraft carrier
America. The exercises, including ground ma
neuvers in Honduras with up to 400 U.S. troops
taking part, come at a time of growing U.S.
concern that El Salvador's March 25 presidential ,
elections will be disrupted by leftist guerrillas
supported by Nicaragua. Pentagon spokesman
Michael Burch said the America, with about 85
aircraft aboard, would lead a task force of two
guided missile destroyers and an oiler. He did
nt)t say how soon the ships, now in the U.S.
Virgin Islands, would sail for positions off the
east coast of Central America. Despite Reagan's
success Tuesday in the Senate Intelligence
Committee, congressional sources predicted a
long fight before he gets the $21 million he is
seeking for anti-government Nicaraguan guer
rillas or the extra $93 million in aid he wants
for the U.S.-backed Salvadoran government.
Clean air act revisions approved
WASHINGTON The Senate Environment
Committee Tuesday approved a bill revising
the Clean Air Act which strengthens provisions
for reducing acid rain. The bill would require
public utilities in 31 Eastern or Midwestern
states to reduce emissions of sulphur dioxide,
which causes acid rain.
The bill requires a reduction of 10 million
tons a year in sulphur dioxide emissions.
States would be given more authority to control
air pollution under the provisions of the bill,
which now goes to the full Senate.
Defense reduction recommended
WASHINGTON The House Armed Services
Committee Tuesday voted to recommend cut
ting President Reagan's defense spending pro
gram by $15.4 billion for 1GS5. It proposed the
House Budget Committee appprove a spending
authority level of $293 billion, instead of Reagan's
requested $313.4 billion. It was the first major
budget cutting proposal of the year by a
, committee. The Armed Services plan would
. increase overall defense spending by 7.5 percent
, after inflation over 1934, compared to Reagan's
proposed 13 percent request.
Poland to ban cruciluies
WARSAW, Poland The Communist govern
ment said Tuesday it would ban crucifixes
from all public buildings and the Catholic
bishops said they would resist, threatening to
spark Poland's worst church-state rift since
martial law. The bishops sent a message of full
support to Catholics in Garwolin near Warsaw
where the dispute began when officials took
crosses off the walls of a local school last week.
The Council of the Polish Episcopate met in
emergency session as government spokesman
Jerzy Urban told reporters: "The government
does, not want a Hvar of crosses' and will not
resort to drastic measures. D;.:t a!l crucifixes
will be taken down from public buildings." ;

bars by 3.2 cents, effective irsrr.cdistely. The
company said the whclccala bcresss should
translate into a five-cent price rise at the retail

30 cents per bar. Mars attributed the hike to
higher packaging and raw-materials costs. "
