402 issue debated at forum 402 from Page 1 are being encouraged in growth by the outside entities that have invested in the promotion of the dump.” Moorer said three out-of-state companies hav e invested S200,000 each for the promotion of Nebraskans Against 402. “Recently the debate has been heightened by cash inflow for use of publication over the airwaves,” Moorer said. Elmer said the five state compact is a politi cal unit. “The industries are interested in this just as much as we are,” Elmer said. “They are looking out for their own interests.” During the debate the reliability of U.S. Ecology, the contractor for the waste site, became an issue. Elmer said the waste site is extremely safe. “Lynn continually says dump,” Elmer said. “That language is extremely false.” Elmer said the Department of Environ mental Control will be on hand every minute the plant is operating. Moorer said the records of past U.S. Ecology sites clearly show its faults. “Out of four U.S. Ecology low-level radio active waste sites, two have been closed perma nently,” Moorer said. Elmer said U.S. Ecology was chosen to build the site because they agreed to assume full liability for any accidents. Moorer said according to the compact, the other four states would not share the liability for anything that went wrong if they did not want too. She said no contingency fund had been laid out in the compact if something would go wrong. Elmer said the primary point is every state must have an operating low-level waste site by 1993. “We don’t have enough time or money to keep delaying the site,” Elmer said. “We will not be obligated to anyone after 30 years. If we do it on our own there is a chance it would never end.” Elmer said every compact in the United States has been contacted and if Nebraska pulls out, they would not be able to enter another one. Moorer said if402 is passed, voter approval on a state and local level would be needed before a waste site could be built fulfil NtfcfMkM J# jNucl|er ^^r#b^tQMi about 15 University of Nebraska-Lincoln students Thursday night about how they can effec tively contact their state senator. n “Pm your employe#, l am your voice, Landis said, referring to himself as a repre sentative of the 46th district, which includes the university.

A person should first establish his iden tity and “that you are the boss/’ Landis said. “If I hear one of those people (constitu ents) talking to me, I act completely differ ent," he said. “When they speak, I listen to them.” Students also should have a specific request when contacting a state legislator, be add. “If you really don’t want anything of us, .. .. don ’t waste our wcmw.

Author says policy can be swayed By Pattie Greene Suff Reporter Students can affect national policy by speaking out about issues and pushing their professors to talk about policy issues in class, according to Paul Loeb, an investigative reporter and author. Loeb spoke Thursday to about 40 people in the Centennial Ballroom of the City Union. His speech was spon sored by the UPC Talks and Topics Committee as part of Voter Aware ness Day. Loeb said many people feel they can do nothing about the system be cause it already is established. “You recognize there is this force,” he said. “And that if we with draw from politics, there is nothing to oppose that force. “1 don't think that bemoaning that force... is the only choice, I think that indeed there are alternatives open to us,” he said. Loeb said people need to realize they can affect national policy. “It’s very rare that an institution of power will say that they did this be cause you marched and spoke out and if you’ll only do a little bit more, maybe they’ll do some other things too,” he said. “That’s a dangerous lesson to admit, but we have to know it,” he said. Loeb said college is valuable be cause itgi ves people achance to think about which way the world can go and learn about it. He said college also gives people a chance to work through existing organizations, such as the residence halls and fraternities, to deal with the issues. Students can push their professors into talking about the issues in class, he said. Students also can get involved. By working for a particular “passion”, students can see how they intertwine with other actions, Loeb said. ASUN endorses safety and convenience By Ryu Sleeves Suf/ Reporter Safety and convenience high lighted three of four senate bills passed by the Association of Students of the Uuiverstty of Nebraska Wed nesday night One bill calls for the UNL Police Department and the Office of Cam pus Recreation to develop a way to make parking for intramural partici pants ticket-free. Sen. Bill Munn of the College of Journalism proposed the bill after two of his friends were ticketed for parking on the East Campus Loop. Munn said UNL police are ticket ing students 15 minutes before en forcement of the area ends. Softball games start at the same time enforce ment ends (4 p.m.), Munn said. The bill suggests starting games later or ending enforcement earlier. Senators also passed a bill that instructs UNL police to place barri cades on North 14th Street by the Cook Pavilion, which is under con struction. The barricades would con fine construction vehicles to the street and construction site, keeping the sidewalk open and safe for students. Another bill instructs the Campus Life Committee to investigate how to improve wheelchair access at Memo rial Stadium. Current handicapped conveniences at the stadium are lack ing, the bill says. The last bill that was passed ap proved two new groups for recogni tion. They are the Anti-Racism Sup port Croup and Students for Regent Nancy Hoch. Speakers urge student to vote VOTE from Page 1 “The party that cares about the people is the Democrats,” Parks said. Following Mafley’s speech, Nanci Hamilton, state chairman of the New Alliance Party, said there are more than two sides to an issue. The New Alliance Party offers a “completely different perspective," she said. “People are the special interest group of the New Alliance Party,” Hamilton said. Chris Knigge, staff member for U.S. Sen. Dave Karnes, predicted that “70 percent of Nebraskans will vote for Ueorge Bush." Knigge said it’s important for Nebraskans to vote for a Republican senator to work for Bush in the Senate. Paul Loeb, author of “Nuclear Culture,” concluded the rally by say ing students on the UNL campus and campuses across the country don t do anything to get involved with the is sues.

I Local film office will tout Lincoln SOAPS from Page 1 use college students asextras, he said. Filming “on location” is nothing new for the soap opera. "One Life to Live” has filmed episodes all over the world, Bonderoff said. "It has always been a ground breaking show,” he said “and we have shot episodes in Argentina and Ven ice, Italy,” Although shooting on location involves extra effort, Bondcrhoff said, the finished product is well worth it. Bonderoff said shooting on loca tion also “adds a touch of reality” to the show. Bonderoff said the soap opera has received several responses from col lege students so far. Students have until Nov. IS to send photographs and letters. The fraternity row episodes will air in February, he said.
