Democratic presidential candidate Jerry Brown meets with a group of supporters
Thursday morning at the Lincoln Municipal Airport before leaving for Los Angeles.
Riots stemming from the innocent verdict in the trial of the four Los Angeles police
officers accused of beating Rodney King prompted Brown to cancel his Lincoln cam
paign stops and return to California.

“The study says that there is a
shortage of 2,000 parking spaces, but
we know that the commuter students
are parked on city streets, city park
ing spaces, or they arc getting tickets
for using campus parking lots ille
gally,” Coffey said.
The most discussed part of the
Walker motion was whether or not a
parking garage should be built on the
Temple lot.
The board was in favor of hailing
plans for Madden Gardens and build
ing the garage.
Academic Senate member Gor
don Karels said he could not justify
destroying 100 parking spaces for a
garden when the space could be used
for a parking garage.
“A Walker official said a prime
location for a parking garage is on the
Temple lot,” Gordon said.
Susan Oxley, ASUN student life
chairwoman, said establishing a park
ing policy would be a good plan, but
the Walker advisers should be more
specific about what to include in the
policy.
Complaints resolved with letter
By Jeremy Fitzpatrick
Senior Reporter
An April 10 incidcnl of alleged
discrimination at The Pub, located in
the Reunion, 905 N. 16 St., has been
resolved by the printing of a letter of
apology in the Daily Nebraskan, an
official said.
James Gricscn, vice chancellor for
student affairs, submitted thclcttcrof
apology on bchalfofThc Pub’sowncr
and manager, Karen Davis. The letter
ran in the Daily Nebraskan’s classi
fied advertisement section Thursday.
Gricscn said he became involved
with the incidcnl when several Indian
students came to him and said they
thought they had been discriminated
against by The Pub.
He said the students had been at
The Pub for its two-year anniversary
celebration April 10. The students
told Griesen they were asked to leave
the bar because The Pub’s manage
ment said they were being disruptive,
he said.
But, Griesen said, the Indian stu
dents told him that white students
who also were being disruptive were
not asked to leave.
The students asked Griesen to
request a letter of apology from The
Pub owners, he said.
“They fell they were insulted in
front of a couple of hundred of people
and wanted some kind of public letter
that would in some way address the
wrong,” he said.
Griesen said that he and and Carmen
Maurer, acting University of Ncbraska
Lincoln Affirmative Action/Equal
Opportunity officer, worked with
students and Davis to reach a solu
lion. Gncscn said the students, Davis,
David Hunter— whose company owns
the Reunion where the Pub is located
— and Maurer met April 23 and agreed
on the letter of apology that appeared
in the Daily Nebraskan.
The letter, signed by Davis, stated,
“We do not believe our actions were
improper at the anniversary celebra
tion, but if any action taken at the
celebration was perceived as contrary
to our commitment, we apologize.”
Gopalakrishnan K, a computer
science doctoral candidate who was
one of the Indian students involved in
the incident, declined to comment.
He said the students involved had
signed a letter that said they would
not comment publicly as part of the
deal to have the letter of apology
published.
Davis refused comment.
Gorbachev says U.S. must stop being cop
MOSCOW (AP) — Mikhail S.
Gorbachev,preparing fora U.S. tour,
said Thursday the United States should
give up being the world’s “policc
man”and focus on building democra
cies around the globe.
Gorbachev, interviewed by The
Associated Press at the offices of the
think tank he founded, also said Boris
Yeltsin has pushed Russia looquickly
toward reform and risks a social ex
plosion.
The 61-year old Gorbachev was
relaxed, rested and energetic four
months after he resigned as president
of the Soviet Union, following the
failed coup last August and the col
lapse of the central government in
Economic news
remains positive
WASHINGTON (AP) — A trio of
encouraging economic reports on
Thursday flashed a green light for
slow but sustained recovery from the
recession this year.
The government’s chief forecast
ing gauge climbed for the third straight
month in March. New applications
for unemployment insurance in late
April held at the lowest level since
last October. And orders to factories
in March rose strongly.
The Commerce Department’s Index
of Leading Indicators increased 0.2
percent in March after strong gains of
0.8 percent in February and 1 percent
in January.
December.
He said he has no plans lo rclum lo
politics, but secs his “duly in support
ing reforms as an individual. Some
times I may criticize.”
Although he generally endorsed
Presidents Bush and Yeltsin, he chided
both. Bush for acting too slowly to
support reforms in the former Soviet
republics, and Yeltsin for pushing
domestic reforms loo quickly.
Looking back on the collapse of
the Soviet Union during his own seven
year tenure in the Kremlin, Gorbachev
acknowledged he had not pushed
reforms quickly enough.
“I think we should not have spent
time trying to improve the system.
The system, the Stalinist model, the
command system, constrained the
energy, the thinking of the society, its
actions. It was holding the entire
country back,” he said.
He said if he had curbed ethnic
violence, “we would have given no
trump cards to the coup leaders, no
chance to try their hand. It was the
coup that undermined ilall. Itdisinte
gralcd society, accelerated ils breakup.”
“We all arc always smarter when
we look back on our life,” said Gor
bachev, appearing reflective but by
no means regretful or defeated. His
brown eyes twinkled during the 50
minute conversation, and he gestured
with his arms and eyeglasses to under
score his advice to world leaders.
