Dissident savs trade bolsters -Sovi
By John Koopm&n
The communist regime of the Soviet
Union wouldn't last three years if wes
tern countries, particularly the United
States, would cut off all trade with that
country, according to Soviet defector
Michail Makarenko.
Makarenko, a Soviet dissident who
spent more than 11 years in Soviet
concentration camos. said the neonle
of his country don't understand why
the United States continues to give
technological as well as moral support
to the communist regime. The com
munists only stay in power, he said,
because western support allows them
to impose their harsh rule upon the
people. y
Makarenko made his remarks at a
I
i
lecture sponsored by the UNL chapter
or Young Americans for Freedom, The
lecture, which was conducted at the
Nebraska Union Tuesday night, also
featured Alexander Voronov, a former
Soviet soldier who fought in Afghan
istan. Makarenko, speaking through an inter
preter, painted a picture of the Soviet
Union as a country at war. The people,
he said, have opposed their commu
nist leaders since the 1917 revolution.
While resistance began with arms and
warfare, it now consists of a more pas
sive resistance. Workers produce as
little as possible, he said, doing only
enough to get by but trying not to do
anything that would benefit the state.
Voronov said little at the lecture and
Makarenko explained the circum-
ec regime
stances of his defection from the Soviet
army. A native of Smolensk, near Mos
cow, Voronov had been drafted, trained
for three months and sent, in the mid
dle of the night, to Afghanistan. Like
most other soldiers, Voronov often
stole items from the army to sell to
supplement his meager ($1.42 per
month) income. The people don't con
sider it stealing, Makarenko said, be
cause all things belong to all the people
and it is impossible to steal from one
self. Makarenko said Voronov was caught
and sent to the stockade. While there
he managed to escape and made his
way over the mountains and into the
hands of Afghan rebels. From there he
made his way to West Germany and
later to the United States.

The Nebraska Union's new policy
concerning student sponsored food
events has prompted protest by the
International Students Organization.
Saeed Bahramzad, ISO president,
said because of the Union service fee
Svsfiimer storage options for students are vast
By Jean Korinek
At the end of each school year, most
students load their belongings and
drag them home. In the fall, they hand
them all back again.
But students have other alternatives.
One option is to rent storage at a local
storage service. 1 - '
Of the 40 to 50 new tenants in the
spring, many are students, said Robert
Stephens, co-owner of Infinity Storage,
1542 S. First St.
"A lot of them today are finding it
convenient to store it away," Stephens
said. .
Jeanne Riha, security storage man
ager of Security Storage, 3201 N. 19th
St., said she has noticed that more
students are using the service.
At Budget Self Storage, 5330 Corn
husker Hwy., manager Bob Egenberger
said about 25 students rent storage
each season at the Cornhusker loca
tion and the other one at 1801 Pio
neers Blvd.
People have various reasons for using
storage. Some students may not have
enough space at home to store their
things, Stephens said. Also, he said, the
size of the car can determine how
many belongings students take home.
Riha said she thought it was worth it
for students to rent storage, rather
than dragging belongings home and
back again.
Some students even get a couple of
friends to rent storage with them, Ste
phens said.
Storage sizes range from 4 feet by 5
feet to 10 feet by 30 feet, with many
sizes in between. Stephens said that a

5-by-5 space with a 9-foot ceiling holds
a room full of furniture. All three stor
age services rent on a monthly basis.
Prices range from $8 to $87, depending
on the size.
Infinity Storage, whose motto is "Don't
haul it home and then haul it all back
again next fall" offers a 10 'percent
student discount.
It is much cheaper for foreign stu
dents to rent storage than ship belon
gings home, Stephens said. Riha said
many foreign students use the Secur
ity Storage Service.
While Infinity Storage provides the
"lock, Budget Self Storage and Security
Storage require students to provide
their own locks. Security Storage gives
students the option of renting a lock
for $3. None of the three storage servi
ces provides insurance on the stored
items.
Egenberger lives on the site, and he
said it helps deter theft.
Jayne Anderson, coordinator of the
Panhellenic Association, said Greek
houses have no general policy about
storage. She said people may leave
some things at the house, butCthey
probably take home things like televi
sions and stereos.
In the residence halls, the amount of
storage space varies from complex to
complex, said Pat Glasier, coordinator
for the residence hall administrator.
Since Selleck Quadrangle, Cather,
Pound and Neihardt buildings will not
be used this summer, Glasier said, stu
dents with lofts in those buildings will
be allowed to leave them up.
Glasier said residence halls are not
liable for belongings students store
there. Although belongings are kept in
a locked room, Glasier said, the uni
versity cannot be responsible if a water
pipe, for example, broke.
Although she takes her belongings
home, UNL sophomore Pam Cromp
ton said, many of her friends rent
space at storage services:
Liz Hegwood from Imperial said she
has no need for a storage service
because she leaves her things with
friends.
Baderiatunisak Badri, a sophomore
from Malaysia, said she leaves her
belongings with friends because it is
too expensive to rent storage space.
Another student from Malaysia, Ah
mad Zul, also said he stored his belong
ings at 'a friend's house last summer
increase from $1.00 to $2.00 per per
son attending a dinner, the ISO was
not able to have its annual Inter
national Banquet this spring. In a
letter to the Daily Nebraskan, Saeed
said "The charge of $2.00 before pur
chase of food, cooking, serving and
cleanup of the place (kitchen and
dining area) is excessive and makes
profit difficult if not impossible."
At last year's banquet, which at
tracted more than 600 people, the cost
was $522 including six caterers who
served the food, Saeed said. Due to the
new policy, the cost 'of the banquet
would be around $1200, a price, Saeed
said, the non-University funded ISO
could not afford.
Saeed also said the additional Union
staff required by the new policy would
not be familiar with the food they are
serving.
"If an American asked what was in a
certain foo'd, they (Union staff) could
not help out," he said.
Ron Pushcar, food service director
for the Nebraska Unions, said the new
policy was developed to eliminate the
difficulties student groups were having
organizing their dinners. Before the
new policy was implemented in March,
Pushcar said the student organizations
. sponsoring dinners were responsible
for setting up the dining area, serving
and cleaning up afterwards, but diffi
culty was experienced with "everything
associated with this type of event."
