Libertarian Party growing
UNL class listens to vice presidential candidate
By Jim Beckman
Staff Reporter ___
“We want to maximize individ
ual liberty and this means we must
minimize governmental power,
said Andre Marrou, vice presiden
tial candidate for the Libertarian
Party.
Marrou, former Alaskan state
legislator, spoke to about 70 stu
dents in an introduction to political
science class Friday.
Marrou, who is running with
presidential candidate Ron Paul,
said the Libertarian Party’s power
is growing. In 1978, the first Liber
tarian was elected to a county posi
tion and since then, 105 Libertari
ans have been elected to various
county and iocal positions.
Marrou said the reason for its
growth is because people don’t like
the choices they’re given.
Two facts help support this, he
said. In 1860, 75 percent of the
population voted and in 1984, only
45 percent voted, Marrou said.
Second, the number of inde
pendent parties has increased over
the years. In the 1880s, there were
three independent parties. In 1984,
people could choose from 12 par
ties, he said.
The Libertarian Party offers
more diversity than other parties in
terms of its candidates’ race and
sex, Marrou said.
Toni Nathan, the party’s first
vice presidential candidate in
1972, became the first woman to
receive a vote in the electoral col
lege, he said. Also, Russell Means
became the first American Indian
to run for president when he ran in
the 1987 Libertarian presidential
primaries.
In terms of foreign affairs,
Marrou said, Libertarians think
that the United States doesn’t have
the right to interfere in the affairs of
other nations. Marrou said his
party’s platform suggests that the
United States should stop subsidiz
ing competitors such as Japan and
communist aggressors such as the
Soviet Union.
In terms of defense. Marrou said
Libertarians want American troops
to guard only the United States, not
49 countries all over the world.
At the national level, Marrou
said Libertarians want to pay off

candidate, speaks to a political science class Friday.
the national debt
He said this would be made
feasible by putting the Grace
Commission Report into effect.
President Reagan set up the Grace
Commission to investigate ways to
save money in the government, he
said. Its members found hundreds
of agencies, such as the Tea-Tast
ing Council, that “literally do noth
ing” and found that the govern
ment could save $487 billion each
year if those agencies were elimi
nated.
Libertarians, Marrou said, also
want to legalize drugs. He said this
would put “the Mafia out of busi
ness.”
“Every 1 1/2 years,” Marrou
said, “the average senior citizen
will take out the same amount of
money they’ve put into it their
entire lives.”
If this trend continues, he said,
social security tax will rise to 40
percent by the year 2000.
“This is crazy!” he said.
In terms of taxes, Marrou said
Libertarians want to do away with
federal income tax.
When federal income tax was
established, he said, it was never
intended to go over one percent.
The average income tax is now 44
percent
Instead of taxing people, Liber
tarians want to save money by
instituting a hiring freeze of federal
bureaucrats, he said.
Such a move, Marrou said,
would save $100 billion a year in
salaries which equals the amount
of money brought in by federal
income tax.

rics. He called on his audience to
make sure the second year of the
three-year salary improvement plan
is implemented. New funding priori
ties must not overshadow this, he
said.
Massengale said he was pleased
with the progress in research since
last fall and wants to continue th<?
trend.
Last November, in response to
Gov. Kay Orr’s proposal to improve
the university’s research, UNL pin
pointed five areas of research if new
funds were made available. They
included engineering and computer
science centers, biotechnology, ma
terials science, water quality and
decision sciences.
Using the governor’s research ini
tiative, four of those five target areas
arc being financed during the 1988
89 school year.
• Engineering ar.d computer sci
ence centers: $1.6 million will be
used to establish and support a center
for electro-optics, a center for micro
electrics and optical materials re
search and a center for communica
tions and information science.
• Biotechnology: $950,(XX) will
linancc four faculty positions, a labo
ratory, equipment and graduate edu
cation.
• Materials science: Funds will be
used to develop a central service
facility and to finance research
• Water quality: Funds will suo
P011 P'ann‘n8 and coordination and
establish a graduate research assis
tantship program.
Massengale said he wants UNL to
be among the top 100 research univer
sities in the nation. Improving re
search can help strengthen UNL.’s
partnership with the state, he said,
because of the potential to increase
Nebraska’s economic development.
Educational quality at UNL can be
enhanced in two ways this year,
Massengale said. He asked his audi
ence to rcdcdicate themselves to re
cruiting and retaining minorities in
the faculty, staff and student body. He
also said that permanent funding for
the university libraries needs to be
increased by at least $1 million in the
next few years.
‘Commendable progress” was
made last year in general education,
he said. \ communications class lor
freshmen and a mathematics course
for sophomores was added. A com
mittee is also developing new courses
in the humanities, in basic and applied
sciences and in the fine arts, he said.
Massengale said he also was
pleased with the progress in the Uni
versity Foundations course for fresh
men, in general studies advising and
in the honors program.
His goal of improving UNL s
image and communication with the
general public has also progressed, he
said.
A new position, director ol public
relations, has been created to coordi
nate image and communications ac
tivities at UNL. Massengale said the
university is currently advertising
and hopes to have the position filled
by second semester.
