This semester, the UNL sociology
department is offering an experimental
course on technology and society.
Professor Jerry Cloyd, who h teaching
the course, said he wants his students
to be aware cf how technology affects
society. Cloyd said he plans to discuss
logical ethics
technological influences on the popula
tion and the environment.
Technology olen causes major shifts
in population, Cloyd said. A current
example: The U.S. population is shifting
from the industrial northeast to the
sunny southwest, where many high
tech industries are located.
Cloyd said he doesn't think television
sets will ever "watch" people as in
"1834."
"But there's a potential social
application of technology," he said.
"Whether it happens depends more on
social and political developments than
on technology itself."

Mccsc defends promotion at hearing
WASHINGTON Attorney General -designate Edwin Meese faced
tough questions Wednesday on a military promotion and a 510,000 pay
mcnt he received irom rresiaeni Kesgans iicv i.rt'ii jcmiai iransmon
fund.
When Meese came to the White House in 1981 to serve as Reagan's
special counsellor, he was a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve, made
up of non-active military personnel who stand ready in case of war or
national emergency. In 1983, Meese was promoted to a full colonel in the
reserve. Shortly after that, Meese recommended that Gen. William Berk
man be given a second four year term as chief of the reserve.
In his second day cf confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary
Committee, Meeso defended his promotion and ssid he was unaware of
any preferential treatment.
A five-month investigation by a special prosecutor last September
cleared Meese of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with the promo
tion and his financiil affairs.
Soviet plot implied in murder trial
TORUN, Poland The possibility that the Soviet Union was involved in
the plot to murder pro-Solidarity priest Jerzy Popieluszko was hinted
Wednesday by a lawyer at the trial of four security police accused in the
killing. Jan Olszewski, speaking cn behalf cf Pcpicluczko's family, told
the Torun court. "The weakness of one country is the strength cf another.
In Poland, the knowledge cf who profits from a weak Folsnd is known to
every schoolchild who is properly taught his history...! dare not think
further."
Court sources said there was no doubt that he was referring to the
Soviet Union. It was the first opt n suggestion during the trial of Soviet
implication in the kidnap and murder cf Popieluszko, a militant anti
communist, near Torun last October. But the link was hinted at earlier by
Solidarity sources after the authorities said Communist hardliners plot
ted the attack.
Vigilante oeed for OGO million
NEW YORK Subway vigilante Bernhard Goeti was never threatened
and stood at least 20 feet from most of his victims when he opened fire, a
lawyer charged Wednesday after filing a $50 million lawsuit against him.
Civil rights lawyer William Kunstler, representing Darrell Cabey, who
was shot in the back and is now paralysed nd comatose, challenged
Goetz' account of the Dec. 22 shooting and a Manhattan grand Jury's
refusal to indict the white electrical engineer cn attempted murder
charges. According to Kunstler, Goetz was asked for $5 by only one of the
youths and the other three were across the subway car. After shooting the
youth who asked for money, Kunstler said Goetz then went alter the other
three because, "they apparently were the only other black people in the
car."
Speaker after speaker at Kunstler's press conference held at Ids Center
for Constitutional Rights charged the city's handling cf the Goetz case
smacked of racism.
Solidarity leaders call for protest
WARSAW, Poland Lech Walesa and other Solidarity leaders called
Wednesday for a 15-minute national work steppage next ncrih to protest
planned food pricerises and a proposal to raise working horn
A statement from the union's underground leadership, the four-man
Provisional Coordinating Commission, appealed to Poles to stop work at
noon on Feb. 28. it was the first such call since an appeal for a go-slow in
August 1983. -
"The authorities are planning big price rises," the US statement said.
"They are also taking away the right to an eight-hour work dsy. In view of
these intentions, the TKK is proclaiming Feb. 23 a Day cf Protest." The
statement was signed by Walesa and other TKK members.
The government is planning food price rises far neit March which
would be the first since January 1084. The proposals have already been
criticized by the officially sanctioned unions which replaced Solidarity in
early 1882. The authorities have also said they are considering increasing
the working week to as much as 43 hours, although only if the new unions
agreed.
Ban on black iiyoffiiiieeiisMtiitional
WASHINGTON The Justice Department tdi a fedsrsl court Wed
nesday that a school district's pledge net to lav cS black teachers in the
event of job cuts violated the constitutional rights cf white teachers.
The department made its argument to the UJ3. Seventh Circuit Court of
Appeals in support of white teachers' appeal cf a lower court ruling
upholding a 1SS0 agreement between a local teachers union and the
school district in South Bend, Ind.
Under the agreement, which came two years after the school district
began- an effort to increase the number f minority teachers, black
teachers were exempted from layoffs. The accord was challenged by white
teachers who were laid off; The white teachers said the pact violated
constitutional protections against discrimination. The minority mring
campaign boosted the percentage cf black lechers from about 10 percent
in 1878 to 13 percent in 1880.
