Events planned

King holiday
By Jodi Finch
Staff Reporter
January 20 To some it will be just
another Monday. To others it is a spe
cial holiday that needs more recogni
tion. Jan. 20 is the birth date of black civil
rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr.
Currently, the day is a federal holi
day marked by the closing of banks,
post offices and ether federal institu
tions. Although it is not required, some
school districts also dosa.
UNL will observe the holiday with
various activities, but classes still will
meet.
Sen. John DeCamp of Neligh would
like to broaden the way in which
Nebraskans celebrate King's birthday.
His legislative bill, if passed, would
make Martin Luther King day a state
holiday. This could lead to special
activities and programs throughout the
state.
. Wednesday morning the Legislature
advanced the bill into its final round.

arranged a "mass transfer" of students

Because of students' complaints that
Economics 212 classes are too scarce,
Riefler and Griesen have opened an
additional section. This section, which
will be taught by Dr. Adel Mouhammed,
currently is open.
Griesen said the section 10 needed
to be marked somehow because stu

was a Business College section before.
