Lied Foundation should shop around for better buy
Bob's mother gave him $1.50 to buy
apples with. Bob went to the nearest
(and largest) grocery store because he
thought that the biggest store would be
the best. A sign by the apple stand said
"Apples 50c a pound." Bob thought this
was a great deal, so he grabbed 3
pounds and went up to the cashier.
Disappointment filled Bob's head as he
heard the cashier tell him that apple
prices went up and it would now cost
$2.30 for 3 pounds. What should Bob
do?
A. Buy fewer apples at the increased
price.
B. Go home and get more money from
Mom.
C. Go to another store and get the
same apples for a better price.
Sound familiar? If the Lied Founda
tion is dissatisfied with the proposed
changes, they have the same three cho
ices Bob had. Shop around! The apples
are probably better at another store.

DN editorial would be stronger with accurate facts
I read with interest your editorial
titled "West Bank war" (Daily Nebras
kan, April 23). I write to clarify certain
facts.
You wrote that 4,000 Palestinians
were displaced by the creation of the
state of Israel. Palestinians who had
homes in the territory controlled by
Israel as of May 1948, and who found
themselves outside that state and were
not allowed to return, numbered 7 1 1,000,
according to the first United Nations
survey on the subject. Controversy exists
over this survey, with competing esti
mates ranging from 500,000 to 900,000.
Khadafy knows

history. Names don't matter.
Now he finally knows a dead child's
name. And he knows something about
the grief that others have felt.
In one way, though, Khadafy is still
fortunate. At least he can say that his
dead child has gone to the eternal bliss
that he has promised to so many others.
But I wonder if he'll say it with as
much conviction.

You wrote that Jews and Arabs
shared the West Bank before 1967.
From 1948 to the Six Day War of 1967,
Jordan controlled the West Bank and
its predominantly Arab population.
There were few Jews and no Israelis on
the West Bank during this time.
You wrote about West Bank resi
dents and refugee camps. There are
some refugee camps holding Palestini
ans on the West Bank. Most of the Arab
residents of the West Bank do not
reside in camps but, rather, in long
established towns like Hebron. Some
West Bank residents are expelled by
Israel to Jordan. These may, or may not,
wind up in other refugee camps.
I am pleased that the Daily Nebras
kan is taking an editorial position on
international matters, and I do not dis
agree with your conclusion regarding
the need for U.S. policy in the area that
is even handed. But your arguments
would be more persuasive if they were
based on more careful attention to the
history of this complicated region.

u
will start 'fleiiiime
scheduling policy
By James M. Lillis
Staff Reporter
UNL is gradually introducing a
flextime scheduling policy to cam
pus departments.
Bruce Currin, director of Person
nel, Insurance and Risk Manage
ment, said the new policy will allow
for more flexible hours during the
workweek, thus lengthening the
hours that participating offices are
open.
"Flextime will also meet our
employees' needs by allowing them
to choose which hours are more
convenient for them to work," Cur
rin said.
Flextime, which officially went
into effect April ltwill let employees
make their schedules between 7
a.m. and 6 p.m., Currin said. But the
offices must have some employees
working from at least 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. during the regular school term
and from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. dur
ing the summer sessions.
Although the policy includes every
UNL department, not all will want
or be able to participate because of '
staff sizes. Currin said the new pol
icy probably will work best in admi
nistrative offices that have more
personnel.
Currin said that the policy, which
'will effect more than 2,000 UNL
employees, is used effectively
throughout the country. UNL
decided to use flextime here after
discussing it for a few years, he said.
