Libertarian
Continued front Pag 1
Salem said the party Is now the third
largest political party in every state.
It embraces laissez faire capitalism to
extremes, Salem said. Some libertarians
go so far. as to propose private ownership
of streets and highways, he said.
Salem said the fcarty can't be catego
rized as conservative or liberal because it
doesn't have a particular line of thought.
One of the party's major platform planks
Salem said, is a strong anti-interventionist
policy.
Party... '
"The average American spends more
money every year defending West Ger
many than the average West German
spends defending West Germany he said.
"We just don't think that's right."
The party isn't nationalistic, though, in
that it favors individual exchange on the
international level to iron out foreign
problems, Sittig said.
Sittig said the party defies traditional
labels.
"There's not a single socio-economic
grouping into which you could classify
these people," he said.
Many party members are upper middle
class, theoretic intellectuals and "new"
activists, Sittig said. They aren't conser
vative businessmen or traditional liberal
activists, he said.
Sittig sees little future for political par
ties outside of the "big two."
"The only chance would be if a black
political party would spring up," Sittig
said.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson's brief affair
with the Democratic Party, though, may
have ruined that possibility, he said. And
American independents, though they are
many, are too diverse to band together
politically.
"American voters are unwilling to vote
for anyone other than who the major
parties give them," Sittig said. "They are
not inclined to support third-party
candidates."
Bergland is not scheduled to come to
Nebraska, Salem said, but he may visit in
October.

Watch windows and other
ureas of potential entry. When a
window is open, a screen will not
provide much protection'. The
suspect in the Crime Stoppers'
case mentioned above often gain
ed entry by cutting through the
screen or by lifting it out. Having
an upper level apartment doesn't
guarantee security there often
are trash cans, dumpsters or even
maintenance ladders nearby that
could easily be climbed on to help
provide access.
Dont open the door to stran
gers. If a person comes to the
door asking for help, call the
police for them, but never let
them in.
Know your neighbors and
who "belongs" in your neighbor
hood. Take the time to know who
lives in your apartment complex
and be aware of any strangers
lurking in the hallways or near
doors or homes.
Never advertise the fact that
you are alone. When answering
the phone or door late at night,
let the person on the other end
hear you say something like, "dont
bother to get up, Jim, 111 get it."

G.I. Joe . . .
Continued from Paga 1
Dugan said he once paid about
$5 for a rare doll, but now pays up
to $75. Although price and scar
city have become big handicaps,
Dugan said he not only will con
tinue to collect the dolls, but
plans to write a book on all the
types of original G.I. Joes Hasbro
manufactured. When Hasbro ran
the dolls off the assembly line, it
didn't keep track of the models of
dolls it made, he said.
Dugan said that when he began
his search, he cculd find little
information about the action fig
ures. Most of his information came
from magazine articles and a doll
book he bought at Nebraska Book
store. Later, Dugan found the book
that he relied on for almost all his
information had several flaws,
making it practically useless to
him.
The author of the book listed
52 different G.I. Joes, Dugan said.
But from what he has been able
to determine, there are 87 differ
ent figures. The book lists Joes
never made and leaves out about
30 that were made, he said.
Dugan said he is able to trace
the G.I. Joe series by the patent
and trademark symbols Hasbro
had on the dolls as the dolls
matured on the market. For
example, when Hasbro first pro
duced the dolls, it was not one of
If you are threatened by a sex

thing to do is to remain calm and

best weapons against the attacker,
police said.
It also is important to shed the
attitude that 'this will never hap
pen to me." Plan what you could
do and what you would be capa
ble of doing if you find yourself a
victim of assault.

the top 100 companies in the
country, Dugan said. It's first se
ries of dolls had the trademark of
the name and patent for the doll
pending. In 19S5, the trademark
of the doll was copyrighted but
the patent still was pending. In
1967, the company outlined its
patent.
All the G.I. Joe bodies were
made in the United States; the
heads and clothes were made in
Japan and Hong Kong, he said.
The first dolls had painted hair,
while later dolls had fuzzy hair
and beards. All the dolls are joint
ed with 21 parts that move in
all human positions, Dugan said.
The later dolls had to be made
child-proof because their parts
were so easy to remove, he said.
When plastic became expensive,
a lighter-weight plastic was used.
Hasbro originally produced Joes
in four versions soldier, sailoj,
pilot and marine. The doll's face
was madeup of a composite of 20
Congressional Medal Honor win
ners. One reason the doll became
popular was because children
were able to buy additional at
tachments to complete the set. G.
I. Joe could have his own jeep,
fighter plane or helicopter. He
could fight such enemies as goril
las, tigers or Russian soldiers.
As U.S. involvement in the Viet
nam War increased and public
sentiment against the war grew,
Hasbro changed its G.I. Joe sol
dier concept to "adventure team"
the company added other fig
ures such as G.I. nurse and astro
nauts. The company also made Joe
available in other nationalities
including French, Australian,
German, Japanese, Russian and
English.
Dugan said he has collected
about 70 of the 87 Joes made and
he has friends on "both sides of
the state" looking for dolls to
complete the collection.
Dugan described the collecting
of G.I. Joes as a "treasure hunt
the more you look, the more
you find."
lie said he would like to collect
all of the dolls and dress them in
their proper attire. When he com
pletes the project, he hopes to
display the dolls in a museum so
"ethers can enjoy them."
People dont think guys collect
dolls, but it has mushroomed into
something bigger than that, he
said.
It's a serious project, something
I have to get done. Itll drive me
nuts until I get all of them," he
said.
