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

I Landis tells how to reachM .
By Victoria Ayott*
Semov Reporter __
Slate Sen. Dave Landis spoke tt> 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.
Landis spoke as part of Voter Awareness
Day. His speech was sponsored by die
Government Liaison Committee.
There are four important aspects of any
contact with a state senator, he said.
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.
Students also need to as®folbfc why they

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

“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.

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.
