Unions must settle for compromise | By Chad Lorenz Staff Reporter The Committee for Fees Alloca tion passed Tuesday an adjusted bud get increase for the Nebraska Unions. CFA approved a 1.22 percent bud get increase instead of the 2.55 per cent increase director Daryl Swanson requested last Thursday. The increase equates to $54,193 additional student dollars toward the Nebraska Unions in 1995-96. CFA’s unions subcommittee de nied increases for the equipment re serve, purchased services, small equipment, and supplies and materi als. Jennifer Cusick, CFA chair woman, said the unions could cover some of the requested increases with available resources. The subcommittee reduced re quested increases in employee train - ing, wages, tele phones, printing and copying costs and postage. The subcom mittee granted $14,000 for com prehensive em ployee training, Swanson requested, ommittee allowed for a 5 percent wage increase for union em ployees. Swanson had requested a 10 percent increase. The subcommittee also revised costs for a telecommunications up grade from $11,760 to $3,900. James Griesen, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the upgrade would cost $9.98 per phone and $ 1 per com puter data port. Originally, the cost per phone had been projected to be $12. The subcommittee upheld a .5 percent increase for administrative salaries and a .7 percent increase for clerical, technical and service em ployee salaries. Those increases would be used to pay new personnel who demanded higher salaries, Swanson said. Brendan Bussmann, CFA off-cam pus representative, thought the unions still were being granted a greater increase than necessary. “I couldn’t in good conscience vote for it,” Bussmann said after cast ing the solo opposing vote. CFA also heard the Office of Cam pus Recreation’s budget request. Di rector Stan Campbell requested a 3.6 percent budget increase for programs and facilities.

BE PART OF THE CURE HARRIS 621 Rose Street Lincoln, NE 68502 ASUN to d By Melanie Brandert Staff Reporter The GLC will lobby in favor of a legislative bill to extend the hours liquor can be sold if ASUN senators pass a resolution Wednesday. ASUN senators will discuss a bill that would direct the Government Liaison Commit tee to lobby in fa vor ot state ben. Tim Hall’s bill, LB217, to extend the hours liquor can be sold to 2 a.m. Hall, of Omaha, has argued that Nebraska’s 1 a.m. cutoff for liquor sales has hurt Nebraska economi cally. Hall’s proposal was first heard last week by the General Affairs Com mittee but was held up in that com mittee. Tory Sigler, an engineering col etermine fc lege senator, said that if Hall’s pro posal was passed by the Legislature, the state would benefit from the extra tax revenue from liquor sales. Local businesses also would benefit from increased sales, he said. Sigler said it was possible state senators might think A SUN senators would support the bill because it would allow college students to stay at the bars longer. “My whole point to writing the bill is not wanting the bars to stay open later,” he said. “There are other positive aspects.” Sigler said students would be less likely to drive into neighboring states to drink for an extra hour if liquor sales were extended. It could also cut down on the number of people who drive there under the influence, he said. The senate will also discuss a bill, sponsored by senator Brian Dusek, that would urge the senior vice chan cellor for academic affairs to develop •ill support a policy that prohibited the use of student course fees for other pur poses. Dusek said the bill was needed because students were concerned that fees were being used by colleges for such purposes as departmental ex penses. He said it was unclear in some colleges how the money was being used. “There’s no real check ... within the administration that makes sure fees are being correctly used,” he said. Dusek said the policy would re quire all instructors, departments and colleges that administered classes with student course fees to list on the course syllabus how the revenue from fees was being used. He also said the policy would en able students to know “right away” how fees were being used. “If students don’t see, that’s worth protesting to the department,” Dusek said. Logo use leads to lawsuit threat By Sean McCarthy Staff Reporter Copyright violations led to a threat ened lawsuit against a Wayne State College organization over use of the Herbie Husker logo in an advertise ment, the university’s general coun sel said. But Dick Wood said the univer sity had no pending lawsuit against the Wayne State chapter of the Na tional Organization for the Reforma tion of Marijuana Laws. “This is a matter of using a univer sity trademark without appropriate permission or license,” he said. The chapter placed an ad in last month’s Wayne Stater, the college’s newspaper, featuring a caricature of Herbie Husker with a Wayne State NORML book, NORML’s letters on his overalls and a rolled cigarette in his overalls and a rolled cigarette in his hand. Bill Byrne, UNL athletic director, responded by sending a letter to Chris Parachini, one of the members of the chapter. The letter informed the chap ter that if they did not stop the illegal use of the mascot, action would be brought against them. James Sanwick, head of the NORML chapter, said he would take full responsibility for the incident. “This was an innocent thing that happened,” Sanwick said. “This was not supposed to be brought out of context.” Wood said in the last 10 years, two suits had been filed against compa nies that illegally used UNL trade marks. Both were related to the sale of clothing. If a group wants to use Herbie Husker, it must go through the UNL licensing agent, Wood said. The Col legiate Licensing Co., an outside group, handles copyright issues for UNL, said Gary Fouraker, assistant athletic director for business affairs. Since winning the football national championship, Fouraker said, there have been no formal copyright in fringements. But the Collegiate Li censing Co. has been keeping closer tabs on possible violations, he said. Parachini insisted that the draw ing in the ad was a caricature of Herbie Husker, not a replica. “The artist changed his facial struc tures, his hat — the images are not even similar,” Parachini said. “Every small town in Nebraska has Herbie Husker in their liquor store. We did it in good humor.” New owners make plans for Kelley s From Staff Reports A local bar may become a fine dining establishment if two new own ers have their way. The owner of the former Kelley’s Sports Cafe, Terry King, said he and his partner, Bruce Bailey, were con sidering four options for the bar now being remodeled. Those options include a bar simi lar to Kelley’s, which was located at 126 N. 14th St., King said. King said he and Bailey wanted to put some thing nice in the space, such as a higher-quality restaurant than Kelley’s. King and Bailey own the space rented to Kelley’s and the apart ments above the bar. “We’re thinking of taking that plunge, and that may be nuts,” King said, laughing. King declined to discuss specifics on the four options, but said a deci sion would be made next week. While the interior is being remod eled, the space that housed Kelley’s has been passing hands since Octo ber. I Lancaster County assessor’s 4 records show the space was bought out by Hank Buis, a retired Lincoln construction company owner, for $15,000 from Kelley Emmons, the owner of Kelley’s Sports Cafe. When contacted, Buis said he no longer owned the space. King said Buis had been a partner in Dawn Development Two, but de cided to get out of the venture after he retired. The partners had all been one third owners in the venture until Bailey and King bought out Buis in late 1994, King said. Williams Continued from Page 1 • for the same offense, they stated. But District Court Judge Bernard McGinn, in an order filed Tuesday, ruled that the two offenses were sepa rate. The defense motion was prema ture, he wrote, and there was nothing barring the state from prosecuting both charges. “Even if (the two statutes) consti tuted the ‘same’ offense for double jeopardy purposes, the state is not prohibited from charging and pros ecuting the defendant under both stat utes,” McGinn wrote. For those reasons, he continued, Williams’ “plea-in-bar” motion was overruled. Williams was named First-team All-Big Eight by the conference coaches for the 1994-95 season. Force Continued from Page 1 The tactics are broken down into two parts — resistance of the suspect and control by the officer. Resistance measures included psy chological intimidation, verbal non compliance, passive resistance, de fensive resistance, active aggression and aggravated aggression where a weapon, such as a gun, is used. Pitts said an officer had to per ceive, analyze, formulate a plan and initiate a response every time he or she confronted a situation in order to determine which control tactic to use. Control tactics include officer presence, verbal commands, empty handed control, intermediary use of a weapon and lethal force. Officers used the pressure point tactics to elicit painful stimuli to control a resisting suspect. Pitts and Officer Brian Giles demonstrated their tactics, including the lateral vascular neck restraint used on Fran cisco Renteria. Renteria died Oct. 1 after a scuffle with police.
