Producers' effort helps network grow
By Doug Isakson
Staff Reporter
Two-and-a half years ago, Lhe
Husker Network began promoting
campus recreation activities. Since
then, it has expanded its coverage
under the production of Craig Chris
tensen.
Christensen said programming now
includes Association of Students of
the University of Nebraska meetings,
the intramural game of the week, a
strength-and-fitness program, Greek
Fight Night and “Exploring Unex
plained Phenomena.”
The network plans to include a
drug-education program titled “The
,----—
Quarter’s Dance Party,” which he
describedasacrossbetween “Ameri
can Bandstand” and “Club MTV.”
Christensen, a University of Ne
braska-Lincoln senior in general stud
ies, said he spends about 50 hours a
week on program production at the
NETV studio on East Campus.
“If you’re not having fun,” Chris
tensen said, “you might as well pack
your bags because otherwise it’s loo
much work.”
Although the network has no ac
curate method of determining its
popularity, Christensen said, reaction
from those who have had events
covered has been positive.
4‘The main thing is the feedback,”
.—-■ ■“ t
Christensen said. “People say, ‘You
wouldn’t believe how many people
saw me on TV.’”
He said the network plans to put its
phone number on the screen so view
ers can give their opinions.
Christensen said the contract be
tween Cablcvision, which televises
the Husker Network, and the city
require;’ the cable company to pro
vide public or government access for
educational programming. That lets
the Husker Network broadcast free of
charge.
After graduation, Christensen said
he hopes to turn his producer position
into a full-time job or go to work for
ESPN, the cable sports network.

According to Garner Stoll, direc
tor of the City Planning Department,
Douglas Theatre Co. was interested
in the land, but no agreements have
been made.
In other business, the council unani
mously turned down a request from
Duds ‘n’ Suds for a Class J liquor
license at its N. 27th Street location.
Class J licenses allow restaurants
to serve beer and wine.
Chris Wilken of the Lincoln Bev
erage Association said Duds ‘n’ Suds
shouldn’t be considered a restaurant.
He said it ‘‘isn’t listed in the Yel
low Pages under restaurants.”
Wilken said that if Duds ‘n’ Suds
were given a liquor license, then ‘‘all
laundromats will want to have one.”

but “no one asked the students how
they feel about the quality of educa

The greatest margin of agreement
from students came from the ques
tion, “Arc you getting a degree at
UNL for improvement in self devel
opment?” Ninety-three percent of
those surveyed answered said “yes.”
Fifty-one percent agreed that
administrators are sensitive to stu
dent needs, while 49 percent disagreed.
Forty-nine percent said they have

Hitchcock said that although there
have been some changes in South
Africa, such as the release of political
prisoner Nelson Mandela, blacks still
cannot vote, participate in politics or
get loans for businesses.
He also said the changes are no
reason to let up on the economic and
diplomatic pressure that brought them
about.
Jimmy Seepe, a journalism stu
dent at Kearney State College, said
the release of Mandela is not real
change.
“People thought the struggle had
been won,” Seepe said. “But the
question can be asked, ‘Is he really a
free man?’ He can move around but
he still cannot vote.”
Now is the time to escalate the
economic pressure on South Africa’s
government, Seepe said. Sanctions
have caused the government to lose
$250 billion and forced it to resched
ule its debt payments, he said.
Hitchcock said the profitability of
South African investments has low
crcd as well. Although in the early
1980s investors could see about 18
percent returns on investments in South
Africa, he said, their returns now are
4 to 9 percent.

predestined to hell, he said.
Coapogc urges university admini
strations and state governments across
the United Slates to follow the divest
ment policies of U.S. churches, which
have denounced the white South
African church for "blasphemy” and
have called apartheid a “crime against
humanity.”
Because of the economic sanc
tions brought against South Africa
since the 1960s, that country is expe
riencing its first economic downturn
since the 1920s, he said. Whiles arc

Environmental ‘stuff’ matter
of survival, speaker says
By Cindy Wostrel
Staff Reporter
The chairman of the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln chemical
engineering department Monday
told about 20 students in the Ne
braska Union that “this environ
mental stuff is a matter of sur
vival.”
Davis Clements said developed
countries are worried about stop
ping deforestation to protect the
ozone layer while the Third World
countries are worried about just
getting enough to eat
Cooking uses up 80 percent of
the energy in two-thirds of the world,
he said.
Technology is available to help
the Third World provide energy,
Clements said, but some of it may
have only industrial applications.
The Third World also lacks the
resources to provide energy, he
said.
Recently, there has been a re
turn to wind-generated power in
developed countries, Clements said.
But in Third World countries this
often is too expensive.
Another energy st urce, solar
power, barely pays for itself, Cle
ments said.
Solar power also is limited, he
said, because the sun “rises and
sets.” Solar power may be ob
tained for only about six to eight
hours a day, he said.
Clements said a system to power
the Nebraska Union would cost $3
million to $4 million.
Some of the earliest applica
tions of solar power were in the
southern United States and in Is
rael, he said, but inexpensive natu
ral gas caused solar power to go
“by the by.”
Another method of obtaining
energy is methane gas, he said.
Several Third World countries
have
methane gas from kitchen and ani
mal wastes while still being able to
use the wastes as fertilizers.
Davis' speech was one of four
brown-bag lunch lectures sponsored
by Ecology Now in celebration of
Earth Day.
