The protest then will move to the Admini
stration Building where the task force plans to

ASUN President Bryan Hill said “It’s time
to quit complaining - it’s time for action.’’
Patrick Wyatt, chairman of the task force,
said that if the protest is to succeed, a large
student turnout will be necessary.
The task force plans to promote the rally
through announcements to fraternities and
sororities, distributing fliers, hanging posters,
meeting with the Residence Hall Association .
on Sunday and contacting other student groups
such as Early Warning!.
“There are a lot of people who don’t think
there is a parking problem,*’ Wyatt said, * ’and
it’s time to show them that there is.
“When we first formed this committee, we
promised to involve students, and now we are
doing it.*’
Hill said some administrators don’t see a
problem, while others are on “our side.”
Then are a lot of
< people who don't think

lem and It’s time to

At the rally, Hill said, the task force plans to
recognize those administrators who support
student concerns.
The idea of having a protest originated
when the task force was trying to develop a
method k> make all members of the administra
tion to understand students’ frustration with
parking.
Most task force members raised their hands
when asked if they had fielded many com- *
plaints from their constituents about parking.
Wyatt told senators that they must start
keeping track of these complaints so ASUN
can show (he administration that paiking is a
problem that concerns more* than just a few
vocal students.
Hill said that although a survey of student
lots is being conducted by the paiking office,
faculty lots must be looked at as well to sec if
they are as full as student lots.

Cisneros says education key to future
8y Lisa Colic
SHT Report*.
Education is the key to Amer
ica's future, said Henry
Cisneros, former mayor of
San Antonio, Texas, during a speech
at the University of Nebraska-Lin
coin’s Union Centennial Room
Thursday.
"A nation is known by the school
it keeps,' ’ Cisneros said.
America is "standing on the edge
of anew decade," he said, because it
is facing increased worldwide com
petition.
The United Stales is more politi
cally and economically tied to the
rest of the world than in the past,
Cisneros said.
America’s relationship with the
world will be determined by the
understanding future leaders have of
other cultures, he said.
“We need to focus on education
like we've never done before,” he
said.
Cisneros said a high dropout rat?
for the nation’s students does harm to
more than hist the dropouts.
“America is paying the price eco
nomically,’’ heoud.
Cisneros supported his statement
with research done on school drop
outs of all ages in Texas. Last year, he
said, 86,000 Texas students quit
school, causinga loss of $16billion in
society because of the gap in income
between high* school dropouts and
graduates. Of the $16 billion, $4 bil
lion would have been taxable, he
said.
To deal with the number of drop
outs, he said, the state would have to
pay $18 billion for welfare, food
stamps, unemployment compensa
tion, job placement, jails, judicial
systems, police protection and adult

Senator suggests Hoch
step down as chairman
1 By Jerry Guenther
Senior Reporter
A state senator suggested Tues
day to a group of University
of Nebraska-Lincoln students
that regent Nancy Hoch should step
down as chairman of the NU Board of
Regents. Thursday, he said that he
offered the suggestion to the public
for debate.
Sen. Scott Moore of Stromsburg,
iS5lSSsae
man, yet retain her regent seat.
Moore, speaking from his home
Thursday, said he offered the sugges
tion so the issue of firing former NU
President Ronald Roskens could be
put to rest
“This whole thing has drug on for
two months, and it's obvious to me
it’s not going to go away,’’ he said.
Moore said Hoch and other re
gents are “ignorant of the political
process’’ if they believe the public
will forget the issue.
Because the regents have not dis
closed their reasons for firing
Roskens, Moore said, the public has
had to speculate why Roskens was
dismissed.
Moore said he heard speculation
thatRoskens and Hoch may have had
a poor working relationship.
If that is the case, Moore said, then
it might help to put the incident to rest
by having Hoch step down as chair
lion because he thinks Hoch may
have difficulty communicating NU’s
needs to the Nebraska Legislature.
As chairman of the regents, Moore N
said, one of Hoch’s main roles is to be
a spokesperson for NU.
Because of incidents like
Roskens’ firing and the handling of
Kearney State College joining the
NU system, Moore said, Hoch may
have a credibility problem with some

Duffy’s receives ticket
for pornographic poster
By Mick Dyer
Staff Reporter
A Lincoln bar was ticketed for
alleged distribution of por
■"mography Wednesday after
police received several complaints
about offensive promotional posters.
Lt Gary Engel, unit commander
of the technical investigations unit,
said three individuals complained
about promotional posters for the
band Castration playing at Duffy’s
Tavern, 1412 O Si. The posters were
distributed throughout downtown
Lincoln.
The poster depicts a young woman
standing naked except for shoes,
socks and a tank-top shirt pulled up to
expose her breasts. Her head is tilted
back and a rolled up piece of cloth
gags her mouth. Ropes wind tightly
around her body, ending in a slip knot
around her neck.
Deputy Attorney General Eugene
Crump said that sometimes there is a
fine line between free speech, which
is protected by the First Amendment,
and pornography, which is not
‘The standard is, does this thing
have any redeeming qualities or is
this patently offensive and appealing
to the prurient interests,” he said.
Crump said the issue is clouded
further because what is considered
pornographic ia Lincoln may or may
not be considered pornographic in
New York City, and vice versa.
He said the U.S. Supreme Court
has ruled, therefore, that community
standards are to be used to gauge
what is pornography. Community
standards are determined in the court
room, with jurors who reflect the
mood of the community and judge
whether an item is pornographic,
Crump said.
Steve Schulz, owner of Project
• Import record store and musical coor
dinator for Duffy’s, said the posters
were designed and primed by Castra
tion, a Kansas City, Mo., industrial
noise band. He said Duffy’s distrib
uted the posters because the pub was
obligated by a contract to distribute
the band’s promotion?! posters.
Of about200posters the band tem
Duffy’s, only 50 were posted, Schulz
said, and they didn’t stay up for kmg. ,
‘‘I think a lot of than were tom
down ahead of time, even a day be
fore the show," Schulz said.
Schulz said Duffy’s received
negative feedback about the posters
as early as Tuesday. He said that two
women came into Duffy’s that after
noon and expressed their disgust with
the poster.
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, a police
man brought a poster into Duffy’s, /
Schulz said. The policeman said he
had talked to a woman with young
