Proposed cuts, officially called real
locations to instructional programs,
total $208,000.
The $25,000 reallocation proposed
for the Center for Economic Education
would eliminate economics courses for
future high school teachers, said Roger
Riefler, chairman of the Economics
Department. Introductory economics
courses at secondary schools through
out the state would become scarce as
the number of qualified economics
teachers drops, he said.

"In the long run, students will come
here less prepared in economics,"
Riefler said.
The center's director, Bill Walstad,
was not available for comment.
Economics workshops statewide also
would be eliminated, Riefler said. At
least one of the three graduate stu
dents who run the workshops will no
longer be funded, he said.
Riefler said he thinks it's fortunate
that only a small percentage of the
center's funding comes from the state

the $25,000 reduction represents about
half the state's commitment, he said.
"You sort of wait for the other shoe
to drop," he said. "It's going to be
devastating."
Undergraduates majoring in business
also would be hurt by proposed cuts.
Students would have to maintain a 2.8
grade point average to take 300-level or
400-level classes. Currently, a 2.5 GPA
is required for upper-level status.

advising, said that in recent semesters

dents have been forced to move into
auditoriums to accommodate enrollment
increases.
The budget cut proposal is intended
to reduce these growing classes by
reducing enrollment in the college, she
said. No specific price tag is attached
to this proposal.
Blocking students from enrolling in
more difficult courses will ailow stu
dents with higher grades to receive a
better education, Buss said.

Stationery,
callers affect
Labedz stand
on banned film
By Jonathan Taylor
Senior Reporter
Lincoln Sen. Bernice Labedz said
Thursday that she did not sign a letter
responding to the "Hail, Mary" film
cancellation because some" constitu
ents object to the movie's content and
she objects to the stationery the letter
was sent on.
The letter," signed by Lincoln Sen.
Dave Landis and 13 other state sena
tors, said decisions about university
funding would not be influenced by the
choice of films at the Sheldon Art
Gallery.
Labedz said she opposed the letter
because Landis used Legislature Exec
utive Board stationery rather than his
own. Some executive board members
might not approve of the movie and use
of the stationery could misrepresent
them, she said.
"In no case would 1 have signed it,"
she said.
Labedz said she expressed her con
cern about canceling the film but did
not send a letter to NU or Sheldon
officials.
Labedz said she called Dan Ladely,
Sheldon Film Theatre director, after
receiving about 40 complaints about
the film.
"I told him I was concerned about
the film and that I did not want what
happened in Boston and New York to
happen at our university," Labedz said.
Demonstrations occurred in those
cities.
Many of the people who called or
visited her office last week were con
cerned that "taxpayers' dollars" were
being used for "something that was
wrong," Labedz said.
Because of one caller's request, she
said, she asked Ladely how much the
state funded the operation of Sheldon.
Labedz said she also told Ladely she
would "let him know if I felt it was
necessary to introduce a resolution to
the Legislature to determine whether
the film should be shown."
Labedz said she has not seen the
movie and is basing her opinion from
the calls she received from people who
had seen the private screening and told
her about it.
"The movie is not something I would
show anyone," she said.
