STARTS OCT 16 AT A THEATRE NEAR YOU.
Broadcast will provide
information about 413
Voters undecided about Nov
ember’s proposed ballot initiatives will
be able to gather information tonight by
watching a statewide broadcast
On CableVision Channel 21,
Nebraska Tax Research Council
President John Jordison and Institute of
Agriculture and Natural Resources
public policy specialist Roy Frederick
will discuss the seven ballot initiatives
appearing on the general election ballot
Nov. 3.
Viewers can call into the forum
sponsored by the Institute of
Agriculture and Natural Resources at
(800)755-7765.
Frederick said the focus of the dis
cussion will be Initiative 413, a pro
posed constitutional amendment that
would cut spending by limiting state
revenue increases because of popula
tion growth and the rate of inflation.
He said the initiative is important
because of its universal effects on the
state.
The University of Nebraska’s vocal
opposition to the proposal will not
affect the quality of factual information
provided in the program, Frederick said.
“I don’t run away from the fact that
there are those in die university oppos
ing (Initiative 413),” Frederick said.
“There’s just a different role and respon
sibility for us.”
Frederick said in a statement that
voters need to decide “whether it would
make government more economical or
simply reduce the level of services.”
Frederick and Jordison also will dis
cuss Initiative 414, a proposed statute to
cut access charges paid by long distance
companies.
The discussion forum will be
tonight from 7:30 to 8:30 and will be
broadcast on cable channels and in spe
cial viewing sites in 23 Nebraska com
munities.
Four professors to share
views on affirmative action
Four professors with expertise in
die area of affirmative action will form
a panel to air their views tonight
The panel discussion, called
Affirmative Action in Academia, will
take place at 7 p.m. in the Nebraska
Union Ballroom. The event, which is
sponsored by the Faculty Town Hall for
Diversity Concerns, will conclude with
a student roundtable discussion.
Helen Moore, a professor of sociol
ogy and the presenter of “Affirmative
Action and the Null Environment
Hypothesis: Gender and Race in
Education,” said she thinks die event is
an important one after affirmative
action opponent Ward Connerly’s
appearance on campus earlier this year.
“I had a lot of students that attended
Ward Connerly’s program,” Moore
said. “They felt a lot of questions hadn’t
been answered.”
Along with Moore, Anna Shavers,
an associate professor of law, will pre
sent “Acting Affirmatively to Achieve
Diversity.”
Miguel Carranza, an associate pro
fessor of sociology and ethnic studies,
and Gargi Roysircar Sodowsky, an

chology, will also present at tonight’s
