Immigration to the United States should not be
restricted by quotas because the U.S. in part neces
sitated them, sociology professor Jack Siegman said
at the eighth annual Global Issues Symposium
Thursday in the Nebraska .Union.
U.S.-based multi-national corporations use the
resources of Third World countries, then flee with
the profit, causing poorer populations the countries
cant support, Siegman said.
' "The tragedy is that many of the Third World
countries have become poorer," he said. Unem
ployment in major third world cities has increased
since superpower influence took hold, he said.
This manipulation is really against U.S. interests,
Siegman said, because the resulting political insta
bility leads to anti-U.S. governments.
The U.S. is deadly afraid of political changes in
countries that are near us," he said.
Associate professor of philosophy Edward Becker
also spoke at the symposium, which was presented
by the office of International Education Services in
conjunction with the International Arts Fair. .
Becker said he opposes quotas, but for different
reasons. Immigration benefits both the immigrants
themselves and the host countries, he said.
UNL pool player will take talents
to Texas for national tournament

At 5 feet 2 inches, UNL
junior GinnyKeeler is not
an imposing figure. But
when the diminutive com
puter science and engi
neering major picks up a
cue stick, she can discour
age an average pool play
er away from any table.
Keeler's expertise has
carried her through the
UNL and Regional XI bil
liard championships which
were held in February.
This weekend, she will be
UNL's first representative
in four years at the nation
al American Collegiate
Unions tournament in Ar
lington, Texas.
Keeler, who was born
in Killean, Texas, started
playing pool in high school
just for fun.
"It wasn't until last sem
ester that I started play
ing at UNL and some
friends tallied me into enter
ing the tournament," she
said.
Despite having to use a
bridge because of her
height, Keeler won the
double elimination region
al tournament without los
ing a match. Miller Brew
ing Co. will pay her plane
fare, as well as 14 other
contestants' fares, to the
women's championships
at Arlington.
"Right now, I'm more
nervous about the plane
ride than the tourna
ment I haven't flown
before," Keeler said. "But
when I get there, I imag

the girls are back from
last year - the second

Immigration relieves population pressure in the
native country and benefits the immigrants politi
cally and economically, Becker said. The host coun
try enjoys economic growth through a more effi
cient economy stimulated by the increased populat
ion density, he said. The host country also acquires
ambitious, energetic people already educated by
their native country.
The fear of lower labor costs is unfounded, he
said, because lower costs decrease the price of
goods produced.
Immigration opponents lead a "monopolistic at
tempt to control the labor market," he said.
Becker said the only valid reason for favoring
immigration quotas is racial or national prejudice.
Most immigrants, coming for political or religious
freedom or employment and not to cause trouble,
do not demand immediate social integration, Seig
man said. They do not enter the mainstream of
American politics until adopting American politics,
he said.
Job competition is no problem either, he said,
because cultural barriers force them to take jobs
Americans don't want.
The culture places them at the bottom of the
socio-economic ladder at the time of their entry," he
said.
