Senior Reporter
The UNL nursing program is going
full steam into the last stretch of a
six-week campaign to save the Lincoln
campus program.
About $500 in personal funds have
been spent on the campaign and the
faculty have skipped their vacations to
work full-time on the campaign, assist
ant professor Willie Shippee, the chair
of the Baccalaureate Completion Pro
gram, said.
The students have also put in a lot of
time and effort on the campaign, Ship
pee said.
On the agenda until the July 23 hear
ing, which is at 1 p.m. in the East
Campus Union, is a petition drive at the
Nebraska Union Thursday, a petition
drive in downtown Lincoln Friday, blood
pressure screenings and petition drives

cellor Charles Andrews' office in Omaha

the Regents in a march Monday at
noon, Shippee said.
The Dean of the College of Nursing,
Rosalee Yeaworth, and the chairperson
of the college, Ruth Wiese, will com
plete a four-day across-state tour this
Friday. The tour includes television
and radio spots, luncheons with out
state Regents and press conferences,
Shippee said.
Students on and off campus have
also been making contacts with the
print media across the state through
stories and letters to the editor, she
said.
The chairman of the hearing com
mittee, nursing instructor Carol
McShane, has lined up a number of
speakers for the hearing, including the
chairperosn of the Baccalaureate and
Higher Degree Council of National

Shippee said.
Faculty and students plan to attend
next week's hearing dressed in uni

passed out, Shippee said.
Shippee said most of the nursing
school's supporters will attend the Col

earlier in the day.
"We want to support them, too,"
Shippee said.
"No matter what happens, we gave it
our best shot," Shippee said.

Acid rain is a subject of controversy
in the New Jersey and Appalachian
Mountain areas of the U.S., and while
Nebraska is not a problem area, it is a
good place to study acid rain, accord
ing to Ellen Paparozzi, UNL assistant
professor of urban horticulture.
A study at UNL hopes to look at the
interaction of acid rain and heavy
metals in the soil on forest trees. These
heavy metals include lead, cadmium
and zinc. They may be involved in the
plant's physiology and high concentra
tions of these metals may be toxic
causing death or a reduction in the
plant's growth.
The study is a long-term project that
looks at forest trees of heavy metals.

Liberia cuts diplomatic
relations with Soviet Union
MONROVIA, Liberia Liberia said Thursday it had cut diplomatic
relations with the Soviet Union and given Soviet diplomats 72 hours to
leave the country.
The Foreign Ministry said security forces arrested 14 students caught
entering the Soviet Embassy in Monrovia Wednesday night. It said some
had passed on classified military information.
Liberia accused the Soviet Union of gross interference in its affairs and
said it had recalled its officials from Moscow.
Senators discuss budget impasse
WASHINGTON Senate P.epublicans met Thursday to discuss the
breakdown in budget negotiations with House Democrats but apparently
came up with no solutions to revive the talks and get a 1986 budget
through Congress.
The House-Senate talks broke off Wednesday with no date set for
continuing negotiations to cut huge budget deficits seen threatening the
economy.
After the meeting, some of the Republicans, who control the Senate,
blamed the House for the impasse and said it was up to the Democratic
controlled House to propose a solution.
White House chief of staff Donald Regan blasted Congress forfailingto
agree on spending reductions to lower the 1986 federal budget deficit.
"At the current rate we'll have no budget at all," Regan said in a speech
to the Chamber of Commerce.
"They cannot come to grips with the fact that we arr overspending in
these United States. They are afraid to come to grips with it and I
challenge them to do it," he said, pounding the table.
The federal deficit is projected to exceed $200 billion a year for the
next few years if spending is not reduced or taxes raised.
Debate erupts over Reagan's tests
WASHINGTON President Reagan's recovery from cancer surgery
continued unimpeded, the White House said Thursday. But a new controv
ersy erupted over whether his doctors were late in conducting a crucial
test that detected a growth in his colon.
A polyp was found 14 months ago and another when Reagan underwent
a regular medical checkup last March but the tests then involved only the
last third of the intestinal tract.
Some doctors, who acknowledged they were not familiar with the full
details of Reagan's case, have said the presence of the earlier polyps
should have alerted Reagan's doctors to the need for a colonoscopy before
Friday.
If the colonoscopy had been performed earlier, the cancerous growth
might have been detected before it broke through the inner bowel lining,
some doctors contended
The degree of invasion into the bowel wall is a crucial measure in
determining the prognosis of a person with colon cancer.
Soviets exercise in North Atlantic
LONDON Soviet warships are gathering in the North Atlantic in
what appears to be a major test of their ability to stop NATO from
defending Norway and Denmark, alliance sources said Thursday.
A spokesman for NATO's surveillance center in Northwood, southern
England, said British planes had spotted more than 40 warships emerging
from the Baltic, the Mediterranean and from the northern fleet around
Murmansk.
He said the maneuvers appeared to be "a major sea control exercise
simulating measures to counter a reinforcement of NATO's northern
flank."
British defense sources said the exercise was still in its initial stages,
but one unit in the Norwegian Sea appeared to be simulating the actions
of a NATO task group.
He said Britain had rushed 17 ships and submarines to the area and
called back hundreds of sailors from leave to monitor the operation,
possibly the biggest show of Soviet naval power in the past year.
"Considerable Soviet air activity" had also been reported, he said, with
two incursions per day into British air defense space by Bear anti
submarine and reconnaissance aircraft.
Computer hackings stir inquiry
NEW YORK The arrest of seven "average" teenagers for using home
computers to tap into secret phones at the Pentagon and steal credit card
numbers has led to a probe of more than 600 other computer hobbyists,
authorities said Thursday.
Alan Rockoff, the Middlesex, NJ., prosecutor whose office cracked the
case, told Reuters: "We are pushing to prosecute this case. We are not
treating this as a case of whiz kids who were trying to flex their intellec
tual muscles. We are treating them as thieves."
He said his office and officials nationwide are probing 623 other
"hackers" who had access to the same computer bulletin board used by
ithe seven New Jersey teenagers.
Exactly how much the seven young men, all described as coming from
"normal, everyday homes," stole is a mystery that investigators say they
have not yet solved.
It is known that they charged at least $1,000 worth of goods by using
credit card numbers obtained via their home terminals and with making
dozens of free long distance phone calls.
Rockoff said the case represented the most fraudulent use of compu
ters that his office knows of anywhere in the United States. About $30,000
worth of computer equipment has been confiscated by authorities.
Thirty snakes stolen from zoo
CARACAS, Venezuela Thieves broke into a Venezuelan zoo and stole 30
snakes but the reptiles won't go hungry: the thieves also carted off 100
mice.
The superintendent of the Parque del Este zoo said the raid before
dawn Wednesday must have been carried out by expert snake handlers.
Included in the haul were 10 giant anacondas and a number of poisonous
species.
