UNL-AAUP worlcshops
to study tenure process
The UNL chapter of the Ameri
can Association of University
Professors has scheduled two
workshops for administrators and

learn more about the guidelines
and decisions in tenure review.
The worlcshops are set for 3:30
p.m. Monday and Oct. 29 in the
Nebraska Union.
The first, "Normal Processes
Leading to Tenure Decisions "will
concern the application and de
cisionmaking processes. Royce

psychology and chairman of the
AAUP Committee A on Academic
Freedom, Tenure and Due Pro
cess, will explain the procedure.
Then, panelists will discuss
standards of evaluation, the roles
of teaching, research and univer
sity service, what should go in a
teacher's file and how a faculty
member can find out where he
stands in the decision-making
process.
Panelists will include: Gerry
Meisels, dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences; Susan Welch,
professor and chairwoman of
political science; Richard
Dienstbier, professor of psychol
ogy, and Esther Cope, professor
and chairwoman of history. AAUP

0 cooks up cultural feast
By Beth Thompson
Datiy Netesckan Staff Reporter
Ever had 600 people over for
dinner? Members of UNL's Inter
national Students Organization
have, and preparation for the
nine-dish international feast
they're cooking up for Saturday's
Third International Banquet and
Cultural Show begins today at 5
p.m.
For one dish, 3 tablespoons of
oil was changed to 2 gallons. Four
ounces of peas swelled to 7
pounds. Carol Penas, Food Ser
vice assistant manager for pro
duction, ordered 150 pounds of
ground beef and 350 pounds of
chicken. One recipe alone called
for 60 pounds of onions while
another included 25 pounds of
yogurt.
ISO Social secretary Abdus
Sami Nagi, said he began putting
the menu together about two
weeks ago. After considering sev
eral recipe suggestions, Nagi said
he chose nine or 10 entrees from
about nine foreign countries.
Recipes were turned into Ne
braska Union Food Director Ron
Pushcar on Tuesday to be ex
tended to accommodate 600
people. The food will be cooked in
the Nebraska Union kitchen.

District Judge Jeffre P.
Cheuvront Thursday denied a
motion to move the Nov. 26 trial
of Nebraska Attorney General
Paul Douglas out cf Lancaster
County.
Douglas' attorney, William E.
Morrow of Omaha, had filed a
motion for a change of venue,
arguing that local sentiment
would prevent Douglas from hav
ing a fcir trial Cheuvront said he
found nothing to indicate that
Douglas would be discriminated
against in Lancaster County.
In making his decision,
Cheuvront reviewed five affidavits
signed by lawyers and several
newspaper articles which, in the
opinion of at least one lawyer,
would preclude a fair trial
Cheuvront said he found the
articles purely factual and non
inflammatory. This, coupled with
the "expense and inconvenience"
of moving the trial, led Cheuvront '
to deny the motion.
In Omaha, Morrow said he
plans to wrap up Douglas' defense
and expects the trial to proceed
Nov. 20, as scheduled
An earthquake that shook
Wyoming and parts of Colorado
and Nebraka Thursday morning
was the largest that UNL seismo
graphs ever recorded so close to
Lincoln in 11 years of recording,
according to Russell Smith, asso
ciate professor of geology at UNL
Seismograph analysis of the
tremprs, with an epicenter located
about 40 miles southeast cf Cas
per, Wyo., revealed that the quake
registered approximately 5.1 to
5.2 on the Eichter scale, accord
ing to observers in Golden, Colo.
That's at the threshold of the
point where damage occurs in an
earthquake," Smith said, noting
that the tremors were reportedly
felt in Sidney, Kimball, Alliance,
Chadron, and other areas of Ne
braska. Smith said the area where the
quake occurred, near the point
where the Rocky Mountains des
cend into the Plains, is one where
there are many minor faults, none
of which are as large as the Hum
boldt Fault, which passes through
southeast Nebraska and into Kan
sas, Earthquakes, -however, do
occur everj' year or two in the
area, although not nearly of the
magnitude of the one that
occurred Thursday, he said.
Smith said it "wasn't very likely"
the earthquake would be followed
by others in the near future. -
UNL's seismographs are in the
lower level of the Nebraska State
Museum Building.
Noting that early reports of the
earthquake's intensity varied from
as low as 5.1 to 5.5, Smith said,
the difference between the lower
extreme and the upper one would
be very significant.
"On the Richter scale," he said,
"each unit of measurement is 40
times the intensity of the next
lower unit. That means that an
earthquake with an intensity of 6
on the Richter scale is 40 times
more intense than an earthquake
measured at 5 on the Richter
scale."
