needed t siamve
Cuts in the federal budget necessitate the funding of seme
programs by the state and local governments of this country.
President Reagan's philosophy is that local governments
should have more responsibility.
State legislators have an opportunity to provide needed money
for students in state colleges and universities money that will
become increasingly needed if planned cuts in federal loan
programs become reality.
LB133 would create a state work-study program. The program
would provide work for state college and university students at
local non-profit and state organizations. The students would earn
up to $1,800 syesr. Employers would pay SO percent cf a salary, the
state the rest
This prcgrsai is a fairly inexpensive wey to provide funding, and
experience, for Nebraska students.
Deb Chapelie, executive director of the Nebraska State
Student Association, wrote the bill. It was introduced by state
Sea. Tom Vickers of Fernsm.
The bill was introduced last session and it failed.
This year, it's more important than ever. Federal student aid
has decreased by 20 percent since 1081. Student loans are harder
to get now &s well.
Don Aripoli, director of the Office of Scholarships and Financial
Aid at UNL, said LB123 would do more than just create financial
aid for students. He said work-study gives students a chance to
"test out" career areas. LB133 would bring more funding to the
university through tuition. Aripoli also said research has shown
that students who work perform better academically.
There is some debate about whether regular, profit-oriented
businesses should be allowed to participate in the program.
Detractors say the cheap labor would be just like state subsidies
to private industry.
Allowing the private sector to participate also might displace
some full-time employees in favor of cheap student labor. It would
be best to leave the private sector out of the program, if it is-
passed.
LB1S3 would do much to help students many of whom would
not be able to go to school without a work-study program.
We urge the Legislature to pass LB133.

Unimportant worries help people forget problems
A one-two-three-foiir,
What a dancedo they do, Lordy how
I'm teliia' you;
they don't need no band, they get
high by clappin' their hands.
Happy as a cow, chewin' on a cud,
when the people beat their feet on
the Mississippi mud.
j tupid isn't it? You wouldn't believe
the whole song, it goes on forever. I
kJ sing it when I'm happy.
And, hey, good news, you too can
bounce around town and sing corny gongs
just like this one. I wouldn't lie to you. I'm
your Mend, trust me.
James A.

You want to be happy? Do what I do.
Follow the advice of brother Jack Smith
(No, I don't know who he is either, but he
was quoted recently in the funny pages of
the Lincoln Journal, what more do you
want?)
Pay attention, here's the advice. "A per
son must try to worry about, things that
aren't important so that he won't v.xrrj too
much about things thct are." Call it
Ssrdih's Rule. ,
It makes a certain amount of off-the-wall
sense. Worry about the unimportant
stuff only."
Look at me, I'm disgustingly happy and
I worry about -lots cf Unimportant stuff
every d.:y. Stuff like whether the toilet
paper is rolling over cr under the roll.
And Grape Nuts. I worry about Grape
Nuts. I mesn, gosh demit, it's such a cute
little name for a cereal even if it does look
and taste like little brown rocks and crack
your molars wide open when you eat it, you
would think at least it would have cute
commercials.
Smith says worry about unimportant
stuff? This is about as unimportant as it
gets. And I'd worried.
I'm worried about their business sense
there at Grape Nuts Central. Instead of
cute, they throw some scruffy outdoors
man at us who impugns our soft city lifes
tyle and says in a haughty snit, "There's no
question Grape Nuts is right for you. Ques
tion is: Are you right for Grape Nuts?"
Now there's the $100 dollar question,
am I right for Grape Nuts. I always end up
talking to my TV and saying, "Nope, gues3
not."
It just bugs me because I know those
Grape Nuts folks can do a lot better. Now,
heaven knows, I'm no advertising expert,
but, I mean, if you don't have a whole lot to
work with in the first place with regard to
your product, why shoot yourself in the
foot with an arrogant advertising cam
paign? I'm worried. I think I'll send them a
letter. Something short and tactful.-like
"Dear Grape Nuts, your commercial is
stinking up the airwaves. Have a nice day.
Your friend Jim." Naaaa. I'll work on it.
See what I mean? It's fun to worry about
stupid things. It'3 creative worrying instead
of destructive worrying, and a little of it is
good for the sanity. Hey, I can't worry
about Nicaragua, I'm too busy trying to
straighten out cereal companies.
r
And contact lens wearers. I could
strrJghten a few of the::', out, and how..
Have you seen the guy on campus who
loses a contact on a dusty floor some
where, finds it, spits in the lens, then puts
it back in his eye? Yecccchhhh. This man
must be stopped and flogged within an
inch cf his life.
Again, Smith's Rule. Worry about unim
portant stuff. My wife, Susan, does. Heck,
she even worried about what I was writing
about this week.
"Oh that's gross," she said about the
man who spits in his contacts, "you're not
going to put that in your column are you?"
She was play worrying ycu understand. It
occupied her time and sr.ada her happy. So
she did it some more.
See, she was worrying about some
unimportant stuff and loving it. I wrote
down what she said on a yellow legal pad.
She saw me and worried some more.
"You're not going to use that are you,"
she demanded. "Now I have to worry about
everything I say?"
"No, just the unimportant stuff," I said.
"Remember Smith's EuI-3."
"You can fix your own spaghetti to
night," she snorted, net amused.
So now I've got to worry about what I'm
going to have for dinner tonight. I guess I
should have something light and unimpor
tant. Msybe I'll go ever to Bill Allen's
place. Sounds like he's been esting a lot of
unimportant stuff ktely on his diet.. And I
know he's wcrrir.g about it.
Now it's your turn. You gonna worry
about tha big stuf cr the little stuff? It'8
up to you my M sr.ds, it's up to yea. Erother
Smith will be wsicMug and so will I.

LE6S2, the school merger bill, deserves
the attention cf all Nebraskans, including
students at UNL :
- However, I must disagree with the
March 12 Daily Nebraskan column by Jim
Bogers, "Schcd. consolidates threatens

LE382 doe3 not do away with these
