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.

any classes are using new books this semester. At Nebraska Bookstore we
offer hundreds of used textbooks for these classes and many more. By visit
ing the nation's largest supplier of used textbooks daily, we can ensure more
used texts on our shelves more than any other store on campus. In fact we sell
more used textbooks than new ones and that means the money stays in your pocket,
not ours. For freshmen as well as grad students, save on your textbooks this semes
ter at Nebraska Bookstore.
