During an afternoon news

“There is going to be a multi
million-dollar hit to this year’s
budget,” he said. “There is no
way a budget can prepare for a

Breakfast Committee.
The Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska has arranged a
satellite location where the speech will
be broadcast for people who could not
get tickets to the free event, which is
now sold out. King’s speech can be
heard via closed-circuit television at the
Nebraska Union in Room 226. The
speech is also being broadcast on the
Educable television station.
Parker said it was important for all
people, not just students or staff, to hear
King’s message.
“It’s important for all of us to learn
more about trying to work to live
together - for us to live as one nation.
We have to learn about focusing on the
content of a person’s character instead
of their color or ethnicity,” Parker said.
ASUN Speaker of die Senate Viet

Peoples’ Union would sponsor a forum
Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Nebraska
Union to give the university communi

message.
Hoang said it was ASUN’s role to
facilitate a discussion about the topics
of King’s speech. “We have to really
bring it back to our community and see
how it relates to each one of us,” he
said.
