Monday, January 13, 1986 University Daily Nebraskan dice resect stun Page 3 By Eric Gregory Staff Reporter UNL campus police are not using "stun guns" and will not be using them any time in the forseeable future, said Campus Police Chief Gail Gade. While some campus police in other states have been issued the guns, Gade said he has "no intentions of being involved with it." Advertisements describe the gun as a high tech device that produces "an electronic pulse that interrupts and overpowers human neuromuscular systems." The stun gun looks like a small, black walkie-talkie with two short metal rods coming out of the end. When a person is touched with the device it gives him a shock that makes him lose muscle control. It's intended for self-defense or in lieu of a policeman's night stick. Ads say the stun gun, powered by a normal nine-volt battery, will make s attackers temporarily helpless without doing them any permanent harm. Gade said he thinks the weapon is impractical, unproven and unnecessary. "We can accomplish a lot more by reason," he said. Lincoln Police Chief Dean Leitner said the department will not adopt the new weapon either. He said the guns have been "irrevoc ably rejected." Leitner said the device is "like using cattle prods on people." Budget hearing set for February BUDGET from Page 1 Kerrey's budget, Warner said, calls for a 3 percent salary increase for NU employees, but falls $2 million short of the money needed to pay for it. The combined effects of budget cuts since 1981, he said, will continue to hit NU hard. "People will forget that we cut in '81, '82, '83 and twice in '85...and that eventually those cuts can't be absorbed without the elimination of programs" or lower program quality, he said. Because the NU Board of Regents avoided cutting programs when it allo cated those cuts, he said, senators will assume NU can do without the money. Nichol and Haberman said they believed the regents' handling of Novem ber's 2 percent cut proved that assump tion. "All the tragic things that the uni versity said would happen didn't happen," Haberman said. Warner said the Appropriations Com mittee plans to conduct budget hear ings next month and make its recom mendations to the Legislature by early March. NU officials tentatively are scheduled to appear before the com mittee Feb. 19, he said. Roskens praises Kerrey's budget ROSKENS from Page 1 Roskens also denied reports that he is a candidate for the presidency of the University of North Carolina. The Jan. 1 Raleigh News and Observer named Roskens as one of the candidates for the job. "It's the same sort of thing," he said. "I don't know where all of this gets started." Last year, Roskens was named as a candidate for the presidency of Iowa State University. However, Roskens, who is an Iowa native, withdrew his name. "We cannot stop institutions from expressing an interest. But I am very happy here at the University of Ne braska," Roskens said. In other matters, Roskens praised Gov. Bob Kerrey for his "attention and emphasis on higher education," which Kerrey outlined in his state address Thursday. Kerrey's budget calls for a 2.3 per cent increase in NU's state support for 1986-1987. Under Kerrey's budget, $3.7 million would be added to NU's 1985 1986 budget. Kerrey's budget also would increase faculty salaries by 3 percent. "Obviously the increase is less than we would have hoped for," Roskens said. "But considering the economic situation, it's better than it might have been. The governor and I have been in contact and I am encouraged." The university had requested an increase of 4.9 percent, or $7.9 million, for 1986-1987. Police Report Friday 3:35 p.m. Desk phone reported stolen from Neihardt Residence Cen ter.
