Chief Curtis says bill would help police COPS from Page 1 the bill would benefit the Lincoln community. “We certainly need a continuing supply of law enforcement officers,” he said. The bill has drawn support from the Fraternal Order of Police, a na tional police organization. Allen Curtis, chief of the Lincoln police department, said he believes the program would make law en forcement more professional. ‘ ‘This has the potential to help law enforcement,” Curtis said. I According to Chris Eskridge, as sociate professor of criminal justice, the bill should lead to an increased interest in the criminal justice cur riculum. John Beacon, director of the Of fice of Scholarships and Financial Aid, said that although he doesn’t believe the legislation will convince students to enter law enforcement, he docs think it will act as an incentive. Skinner said the bill, which was introduced June 29, should come up before Congress in late September or early October. -1 Look and feel perfectly beautiful in our gowns, robes, teddies, slips, and other intimate apparel.

JLothchildk Men's Fine Fashions For Less M | ASUN drops book exchange I By Lisa Twiestmeyer Stiff Reporter__ Lack of interest has caused the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska to discon tinue its attempts at running a stu dent book exchange program. Julie Jorgensen, the Arts & Sciences senator in charge of the program, said too few students have shown interest in the book exchange to warrant continuing it. ASUN tried to revitalize the program last year and advertised it in the Daily Nebraskan, she said, but few students were interested. “We put ads in and no one really came in, so we just kind of dropped it,” she said. The book exchange operated like a card catalog, Jorgensen said. Students could go to the ASUN student information center ana mi out a card with their name, the title of the book, the price they wanted for the book and their phone num ber. Students wishing to buy books could check the card catalog for the books they needed. Jorgensen said she thinks few students used the exchange be cause most students want cash immediately for their books when they sell them. “The only way it would work is if AS UN would actually buy the books from students and then re sell them,” she said. Jorgensen said she can’t foresee AS UN setting up another ex change program because it would require a “huge increase” in stu dent fees to set up the working capital lor it. Marlene Beyke, director of development at AS UN, said the cards now in the catalog arc the same cards that have been there for more than a year. “We just really haven’t had an interest in it,’’ Beyke said. “I think two people showed an interest in it this year.” UNL had a book exchange pro gram in the 1970s, Jorgensen said. AS UN then attempted a progra. i five years ago in which the sena tors sold the students’ books them selves at a sale. That system was discontinued because of thefts. The revitalized program estab lished last year was part of the ACTION party platform in the 1988 ASUN elections, Jorgensen said. Ombudsman is campus ‘super sleuthm From Staff Reports When University of Nebraska Lincoln students, faculty and staff members have problems that seem unsolvable, the office of the ombuds man helps find solutions. “We’re like a super sleuth,’’ said UNL Ombudsman Ozzy Gilbertson. “We get to sneak around finding the clues for the solution. “The ombudsman has access to everything of a non-confidcntial manner at the university,” he said. Gilbertson said students should see the ombudsman ‘ ‘ when rules or regulations seem to handicap prob lems and it’s not going in the best interests.” The ombudsman will “mediate for that person and come to a satisfac tory solution for all parties,” he said. Students should come to the om budsman when they have grievances about grades or financial aid, or when they believe they are being treated unjustly by a faculty member, Gilbertson said. Students may come to the office for help in withdrawing from school, he said. ‘‘A family emergency might arise, such as a death in the family, forcing the student to go home and operate the home business,” he said. Normal rules and regulations do not permit the student to withdraw after a certain date without depart mental approval, he said. “The ombudsman may intervene so the student gets the proper wifl drawal,” Gilbertson said. Students may visit the ombud man if they are concerned about 9 problems of a friend, such as a eased discrimination or cheating, he said “Any complaints or concerns 9 di -cussed in a confidential manner! a minister or a doctor,” he said. I Gilbertson said he thinks a lot 9 students aren’tawarc of theirrights the ombudsman’s office. “Students owe it to themselves become knowledgeable of both thi rights and responsibilities,” he sai He said the rights and responsibi ties are outlined in the back of t undergraduate bulletin. The ombudsman’s office is at 1A and Vine streets in room 116 Lvm Hall. "A LOT LOWER PRICES...
