Regier said that in the immediate
future, the space problem will not
affect the press’ output so much as it
will affect the employees.
“The worst thing that would hap
pen is that my skilled people will bum
out,” Regier said. “I risk losing lots
of good people.”
Founded in 1941, the press has
more different titles in print than any
other state university prSss in the
country, except for the University of
California.
The diversity of titles published by
the press includes Nobel Prize win
ners in literature and economics, and
Nebraska authors Willa Cather and
Mari Sandoz. As a business, the press
has quadrupled in the last decade,
Regier said.
Regier said he is optimistic that
the press’ future needs will be met
because its importance is recognized
by the university.
“We are remarkably productive
for two reasons,” Regier said. “One,
personnel is just exquisite, we have
excellent people and, two, the univer
sity is keeping their promises and
giving us grounds for optimism.”
The press will be consolidating its
three warehouses and separate ship
ping area into a “unified warehouse
facility” by the first of the year,

cem of every college student, he said.
“If you believe pre-marital sex is
wrong, don’t have it,’’ he said. “If
you should choose to have sex, do
these three things for me: use a con
dom, use a condom, use a condom.”
Hazing also must be addressed by
sororities as well as fraternities if the
system is to survive, Keim said.
Keim told of one sorority that
made its pledges attend a fraternity,
be weighed, and have their weights
written in marker on their foreheads.
Keim told both associate and ac
tive members of grcek houses that
they have “a moral responsibility to
stand up and say that’s enough.”
He said hazing has led to the
deaths of 50 men and three women in
the last 10 years.
In closing, Keim said, fraternity
and sorority members should uphold
the promises they made upon initia
tion.
“You should care about the
people you live with like they were
your own brothers and sisters — flesh
and blood,” he said.
CONFERENCE from Page 1
Fiddelke said some of the repre
sentatives will meet in St. Louis in
January to discuss the plan further.
She said the'plan is still in its begin
ning stages, and a lot of research must
be done before it is ready to be pre
sented at the hearings. She said the
students would travel to Washington,
D.C., to lobby on issues discussed at
the conference.
She said the act ‘‘sets the blueprint
for higher education for the next five
years.’ ’ The act includes every aspect
of higher education, but the represen
tatives mainly dealt with Title IV of
the act. which pertains to financial
aid, Fiddelke said.
Regier said. This move does not yet
include the needed office space.
However, discussion of a research
park and a number of pending grants
which would bring in money for con
struction brighten the outlook for the
next year, he said.
“We have excellent support from
the administration,” Regier said.
“The real problem has been the eco
nomic situation of the slate. Things
that were not possible a few years ago
are becoming possible now.”
studies adviser in 1987 and 1988, was
fired Sept. 2, 1988.
In the summer of 1987, Visser
reported to the Faculty Senate Grad
ing Committee that certain health
courses were offered exclusively for
football players and other student
athletes with low grade point aver
ages.
Early in 1988, she pursued an
independent investigation into other
alleged irregularities.
Some of the irregularities Visser
claimed included classes that were
made available to athletes but not the
general student population, athletes
being classified as learning disabled
and transcript irregularities.
UNL officials denied Visser’s
claims, testifying amongother things
that Visser came to work late, was
disruptive and used her computer to
examine transcripts of athletes whom
she wasn’t advising.
