The state Department of Environ
mental Control has proposed ground
water legislation strategy to address
six areas of contamination: chemical
fuel storage tanks, agricultural chemi
cals, waste treatment and disposal
areas, water wells and test holes, in
dustrial facilities and spills or leaks
along transportat ion areas. Beutler is a
primary spokesman for legislation on
groundwater control. 1
Recently a group of western Nebras
,'kans that belongs to Save Nebraska
-Water petitioned to put a constitu
tional amendment about groundwater
regulation on next year's ballot. Beutler
said vague working in the amendment
could shift decisions on what consti
tutes groundwater contamination from
the Legislature to the courts.
State Sen. Sandra Scofield of Chad
ron said she shares Beutler's concern
about the amendment's working. She
said the petition indicates that many
people are impatient with how the
Legislature has dealt with groundwater
issues, Scofield said.
The petition could prompt legisla
tors to work with issues more quickly if
they think they have a better solution
to groundwater problems, she said.
Scofield said the petition is a good

Individual cases fuel human rights discussion
WILL from Page 4
Former Soviet leader Yuri Andropov
gave the Soviet Union two things: that
law and a protege named Gorbachev.
Reagan, like most people, only more
so, has a cinematic mind. He clarifies
his thinking and animates his passions
with reference to particular cases,
identifiable individuals whose situa
tions can be framed, focused and fro
zen in clearly imagined scenes. This is
not a weakness, least of all one pecul
iar to actors. It is a common and useful
habit of mind that can yield moral
strength.
.. When human-rights, questions are
raised with Soviet officials, they put on
elaborately rude displays of boredom,
rolling their eyes, doodling, glancing at
their expensive Western watches and
finally saying with heavy weariness,
"Can we not go on to serious matters?"
'This summit will be worth the consid
erable trouble if, as summit enthusi
asts hope, Reagan and Gorbachev "get
to know one another."
That is one reason why Reagan
should raise with Gorbachev the Kho
dorovich case. As Reagan does this, he
should see cinematically, in his mind's
eye, the methodical breaking of Khodo-
rovich's ribs.
