Computer room plans adopted,
will offer handicapped access
By Gene GeKtrop
Dally N ebrttk&n St2T Writer
The Nebraska Union Board
.Thursday adopted plans for the
construction of a new computer
terminal room in the Nebraska
Union.
Though final approval for the
project will not come for some
time, construction could be com
pleted as early as January 1035
"if everything falls in place," said
Nebraska Union Director Daryl
Swanson.
The design was presented to
the board as one of three propos
als for the project. The new plan
call3 for a computer terminal
room to be built in the soutwest
corner of the Nebraska Union
lounge. Two entrance ways will
be used, including the handi
capped entry ramp, allowing stu
dents to make use of the compu
ter room on a 24-hour basis.
Earlier proposals had called
for the new computer facilities to
occupy the existing women's
lounge in the south part of the
union. No handicapped access
would have been available, though.
Hie second proposal included mo
ving the television room into the
southwest corner of the union
and having the computer room
occupy the current television area.
But union board members agreed
the third proposal would be the
least expensive and constructed
with less work. The most attrac
tive part of the plan, board mem
bers said, would be the use of the
handicapped access ramp.
Swanson said the only compu
ter access for handicapped stu
dents is located in Nebraska Hall.
He said the location is far off cen
ter from most of campus and
that the Nebraska Union would
be ideal.
But Swanson said problems could
arise, because space would be
taken away from many campus
events including Walpurgisnacht,
Activities Mart, University Program
Council art displays, and other
activities.
Mary Marcy, president of the
board, said the issue will be up for
final approval by the board at the
next meeting, and said students
are asked to submit their ideas
and comments on the issue by
calling the Nebraska Union office
and talking with her or any board
member. The number there is
472-2181.
The board also discussed pos
sibilities for a new location of the
University Bookstore. Marcy said
she met with ASUN president
Mark Scudder and UNL Chancel
lor Martin Massengale last week
to discuss possibilities for the
new location. She said the three
agreed that the university does
have a commitment to the book
store because the current loca
tion, is "inadequate." She said the
board is looking at some possibil
ities for the new location.

. Prime Mifmioter Feireo
heads .unity geffiiMeHt
JERUSALEM Shimon Peres, Israeli Labor Party leader,
took power Thursday after hb nine-party national unity
government won a parliamentary confidence motion by 83
votes to 18. Peres swore an oath of allegiance as Israel's eighth
prime minister after wesk3 of difficult negotiations to berak a
political deadlock created by inconclusive general elections in
July.
In an eight-hour parliamentary debate that continued far
into the night, Peres came under fierce attack from former
allies of the leftist Mapam Party who branded his administra
tion a "government of national paralysis and a monstrous
abomination." Peres replied that the unity government repres
ented Israel's best chance of avoiding economic disaster and.
ending the military occupation of south Lebanon. He added
that one of his main tasks would be to ensure the security of
Israel's northern border and "bring the soldiers home from
Lebanon."
After months of bargaining and last-minute hitches, 13 min
isters finally signed the unity pact Thursday morning. Peres
told them, "This coalition suffered a difficult birth. Our aim
must now be to serve the nation instead of representing cur
parties."
Under the coalition plan Peres will be prime minister for 25
months, then swop jobs with Likud block leader Yitzhak
Shamir at the Foreign Ministry. Cabinet posts have been
divided equally among the two parties. Both leaders told
reporters they anticipated constant coalition disputes. Peres
called it "a government of disagreement."
Gemoyel'o oacceosor confixmed
BEIRUT Lebanon's Christian Falangist Party Thursday
elected Dr. Eiie Karameh as its president, averting a power
struggle between extreme and moderate factions filer the
death of its longtime leader, Pierre GemayeL The 40-year-old
Kaf ameh, the party's vice president since 1080, was chosen by
Gemayel last July to succeed him as party president. Gemayel
died of a heart attack August 29 at the age of 78.
Karameh's succession was confirmed by an 85-man caucus
of the party's Politburo and Central Committee, which both
include radical leaders of the Lebanese Forces militia. It also
approved parliamentary deputy George Saadeh as vice presi
dent. Falangist radio said Karameh won 73 votes, with five
abstentions.
Long-wanted leader surrenders
RAPID CITY, S.D. Dennis Banks, a leader of the American
Indian Movement ended nine years on the run from South
Dakota authorities Thursday when he surrendered at the
Rapid City regional airport.
Banks was cemvicted on charges of rioting while armed with
a dangerous weapon and assault with a dangerous weapon,
stemming from a confrontation in 1973 at the Custer County
courthouse in the Black Hills. He failed to appear for his sen
tencing in August, 1975 and has been living in California and
most recently on the Onondaga Indian Reservation in upstate
New York. Banks is also wanted on a federal charge of flight to
avoid confinement.
He was taken from the airport to the Pennington County
Courthouse for an arraignment before the seventh state circuit
court judge, Marshall Young. He was represented by attorney
William Kunstler of New York. Young refused to set bail for
Banks and set a pre-sentence investigation hearing for October
8. ISanks will be held in the Pennington County jail in Rapid
In an interview Wednesday night with Reuters, Banks said
his decision to surrender was made in consideration for his
family. Banks said the reason he missed sentencing in August
1 975 was that he feared for his life based on statements by then
state attorney general, now Governor William Janklow, and a
prison guard, who said "I wouldn't last 20 minutes." He said he
wanted to get his legal difficulties over with so he could return
to full and unrestricted activity with AIM. Banks faces up to 15
years in prison on the South Dakota charges and a maximum
sentence of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine on the federal
charge.
