Interest revives in Mediterranean tours
by Michael Hannon
Staff Reporter
An archeological tour of Greece
and Crete sponsored by the Univer
sity of Nebraska-Lincoln is back on
track now that the war in the Persian
Gulf is over, according to the tour’s
director.
Michael Hoff, an assistant profes
sor of art and art history, said the tour
never officially was cancelled, but it
was threatened because the war caused
a severe lack of interest.
Christa Joy, program coordinator
for International Educational Serv
ices, said there were no inquiries about
the trip for the duration of the gulf
war.
But since the end of the war, Joy
said, about a dozen people have asked
about it. No one has put down a de
posit on the tour yet, she said.
Hoff, who lives in Greece during
the summer, said the war did not
mean travel in Greece was unsafe.
“Fear of terrorism shouldn’t keep
people away from Greece,” Hoff said.
Although there have been terrorist
activities in Greece during recent
months, he said, the incidents were
not related to the war.
Hoff said the only terrorist group
currently operating in Greece is called
November 17 and is attempting to rid
Greece of Western influence. The
group has not attacked foreign indi
viduals and has caused no fatalities in
recent years, he said.
The three-week lour, from May 18
to June 8, is mainly for students, but
interested members of the public may
participate. Students can receive class
credit at the 300 or graduate level.
The cost is expected to be between
$2,800 and $2,900, which includes
air fare from Omaha, motels, some
meals, entry to archeological sites,
transportation while in Greece and
insurance, Hoff said.

Official debates
Niobrara issue
with landowner
By Matt Seaman
Staff Reporter
A National Audubon Society offi
cial and a landowner squared off before
about 100 people in a debate Friday at
the East Union about whether the
government should designate the
Niobrara a National Scenic River.
The designation of a National Scenic
River along the Niobrara in northern
Nebraska is an example of govern
ment overstepping its bounds, said
Charlie Ward, who owns land close
to the Niobrara.
But Ron Klataske, west central
regional vice president for the Na
tional Audubon Society, argued that
the government must protect its re
sources.
Legislation was proposed by
members of Nebraska’s congressional
delegation to make the Niobrara a
National Scenic River. If their pro
posal passes, land on each side of the
77-mile stretch of the river would be
owned by the government.
Opponents to the proposal have
inflated the toll it would take on land
owners, Klataske said.
A lot of the figures brought up in
debates over the issue were specula
tion, he said, as no one can tell how
much agriculture production would
be decreased.
“I think we can only make a judge
ment about how much land will be
taken out of agriculture,” he said.
Ward argued that the government
should not be involved with the Nio
brara.
“The best government is the least
government,” he said.
The men also argued about each
other’s qualifications forjudging the
Niobrara issue.
Klataske attacked Ward for speak
ing on the issue when he doesn’t own
land in the area that would be directly
affcc iccl.
“I will gladly buy you a $12 steak
in Valentine this summer if you can
show me that you own land a quarter
of a mile from the river,” Klataske
said, challenging Ward.
Ward attacked Klataske for being
a “hired gun” brought in to deal with
the issue. Klataske hasn’t been in
volved in the community, he said, so
he should not be making judgments
about its resources.
Ward called for anyone with a
stake in the issue to get involved as he
did.
“1 got on the telephone and I started
asking who was involved,” he said.
He stressed that others could do the
same thing.
Now is the time to “call youi
markers in” if any politicians owe a
favor, Ward said, to influence how
the issue is decided.
