Lincoln ban on protests
upheld in district court
PROTEST from page 1
upholding a Colorado protest
law, and Pynes said he did not
plan to appeal the case because
of the Colorado decision.
Although the Colorado and
Lincoln laws restrict different
kinds of protests, both chal
lenges to those laws used simi
lar arguments.
The plaintiffs argued that
police would have to analyze
the content of a protester's mes
sage to determine if the protest
was focused, making it content
based.
The Supreme Court rejected
that argument in the Colorado
I
case, so the appeals court reject
ed it in this case.
“Because Lincoln’s justifica
tion for the ordinance is the pro
tection of residential privacy
and tranquillity and has nothing
to do with the content of the
regulated speech, the ordinance
is content-neutral,” 8th Circuit
Judge John R. Gibson wrote in
the decision.
Since the ordinance was
enacted, the city has issued only
four citations to two people who
protested in Crabb’s driveway.
They were yelling things such as
“You are going to hell” and “The
killing has got to stop,” accord
ing to court documents.

China grows; Chinese program shrivels
CHINESE from page 1
ment won’t get the money need
ed for the language to continue.
Because the program’s fate is so
shaky, she’s applying for grant
money.
“There’s nothing we can bank
on,” Balasubramanian said.
Balasubramanian said the
college is in a tough position:
Build the Chinese program,
knowing its value, or get rid of it
because it could cost too much
to keep the already weak pro
gram going.
Growing pains
If it is accepted into the WTO,
China won’t become an econom
ic monster overnight; when it
does grow into a major economic
power, the country won't be rich.
The distribution of wealth in
China isn’t even, said Roger
Riefler, UNL economics profes
sor who has studied regional
development in China.
Much of the wealth lies with
the 32 percent of Chinese who
live in cities; the rest, with the 68
percent in China's poor rural
areas.
But because of China’s large
numbers -1.3 billion people - it
is a market virtually untapped.
Though joining the WTO
would lower some barriers on
exporting to China, it would not
equal free trade, Riefler said.
He said the importance of
China's joining the WTO is link
ing the country to the economies
of the world.
Nebraska already has been
aggressive in establishing agri
cultural trade relationships with
China.
Carlson, the ag director, said
the state probably ranks near the
top in the United States in mak
ing connections with China.
Gov. Mike Johanns went to
China on trade missions twice in
1999. Carlson has been to China
four times in the past few years,
establishing relationships with
Chinese leaders to prepare for
increasing Nebraska’s exports in
light of tariff and quota reduc
tions.
Nebraska exports mainly
soybeans, soybean oil, wheat and
corn to China. Before Clinton
signed the bill further opening
Chinese markets, the state
exported meat, but it had to go
through Hong Kong.
If China enters the WTO, pork
and beef can go directly into
China, and com, soybean oil and
wheat quotas each will increase
Other quotas and tariffs will
be loosened, as well. *
The future of Nebraska is in
China, Wedeman said.
He said UNL can contribute
to the state’s investment by
strengthening its future work
force.
Carlson agreed, saying ignor
ing the growing global market
was a mistake.
"International trade is going
to be such a big part of what we’re
doing,” he said, adding it didn’t
matter what field students were
in.
He said it didn’t look good
when the Chinese knew English,
but Americans were ignorant of
Chinese.
After all, Riefler said, at least
some dialect of Chinese is spo
ken by 1.3 billion people, and a
significant number speak
Chinese in Singapore, Malaysia,
Taiwan, Thailand and other
countries.
Offering a full package
Many of the 20 students
studying Chinese are interna
tional business majors, Su said.
Other courses are offered to
round out students’ knowledge
of the Chinese culture, including
history of modem and pre-mod
em China, and Chinese politics.
But those classes won’t be as
worthwhile without the Chinese
language, Wedeman said.
Fiala, the Concordia profes
sor, agreed.
“To drop this exposure to lan
guage would be absolutely fool
hardy,” he said.
And for Jewell, who has con
sidered transferring to another
university to save what he knows
of Chinese, rescuing the
Chinese-language program
could help ensure his success in
an overseas business career.
Chinese is taught at Lincoln
High School, where Jewell gradu
ated.
Because of his Chinese skills,
another graduate got a job as an
engineer for Centurion
Technologies Inc. in its offices in
Shanghai.
“He’s a guy I look up to,”
Jewell said. “It's kind of like a
dream.”
Lincoln woman still

said.
Bos' disappearance has con
cerned her family and boyfriend
Michael Johnson. Several of Bos’
siblings have traveled to Lincoln
from out of state to aid in the
search, Johnson said.
The last time Bos was seen
was 1 a.m. last Iliesday near her
car at 11th and K streets outside
Duggan’s Pub.
Johnson said Bos had played
her guitar at the bar's open
mike night.
When she disappeared, Bos
left behind three children: an
11-year-old girl and 13- and 15
year-old boys.
“She's not the kind of person
to leave her children unattend
ed at all,” Johnson said. The chil
dren have been in Bos’ family’s
care since her disappearance.
Engel said police have seen
no indications of foul play, but
they are concerned about Bos
and would like to know she is
OK.
Bos is a 40-year-old white
woman, 5-foot 6-inches tall,
weighing 105 pounds with
auburn-colored near-shoulder
length hair.
She was last seen wearing a
short-sleeved black top, fitted
black checkered pants and 2
inch heeled boots.

about Bos’ location or well
being should call police at (402)

Liquor commission
punishes Studio 14
■The dance dub's owners
didn't complete classes the
board required before
approving their liquor license.
BYJILLZEMAN
Just weeks after its delayed
opening, Studio 14 dance club
may be in danger of losing its
liquor license.
Former Husker football
player Lance Brown was told at
a hearing of the Liquor Control
Commission on Friday that he
faces either a 10-day business
suspension or a $500 fine.
Brown, Studio 14 CEO, failed
to complete an eight-hour class
that the Liquor Control
Commission mandated at a
September meeting.
Studio 14, 1415 O St.,
received a liquor license with
the understanding that Brown
would complete the class, said
Commission Director Frosty
Chapman. The order for the
punishment will be sent out in a
few weeks, Chapman said.
Time ran out before Brown
could take the class. Now he is
going to have to pay the fine or
close down the club for 10 days,
the commission said.
Brown must now complete
the course by Nov. 10, or the
club will lose it's liquor license.
In other business, the liquor
control commission decided
Coaches Sports Bar and Grill,
640 Prospector Court, will have
to close down for 30 days or pay
a $1,500 fine. The owner was
cited for improper contact
between a dancer and a patron
in Cheetah’s, which is at the
same location.
There was contact between
a dancer’s breasts and a patron’s
face on three separate occa
sions, said Capt. George
Lahners of the Lancaster
Sheriff’s Office.
The bar and grill will have to
close down for 30 days or pay a
$1,500 fine, Chapman said.
I we’re all over it.
