Daily Nebraskan drops plan to run Curry ad By Morris Maline The University of Nebrasica at Lincoln 1 conduct its Holocaust conference Monsy and Tuesday without "revisionist" influence. But, the Curry controversy conlues. The conf«-ence, titled. An Encounter vritb lie Holocaost, will include lectures and rebponse panelists under the sponsorship of United Ministries in Higher Education, pepartment of History, UNL, with major hnding by the Nebraska Committee for the finmimities. an affiliate of the National Enlowntent for the Humanities. :^ Issues for discussion are related to coniemporary response to the reality of the holocaust in western and Christian history. [x>cation is the Nebraska Union at 14th and ^ Streets in Lincoln. \ Two attempts by Cphunbus businessoaan ^illiam Curry to infiltrate the confereoce ^ive bem rejected fclOawnagwm. eriurjitional tffort by the ADL/CRC committee of the Jewish Federation of Omaha assisted by ^idents of Lincoln, the Jewish Press has yarned. \ Mr. Curry had sent two checks to the University: one for $1,000 was to pay for 1^ full pa^ advertisement in- the Daily ^ebraskan, the student newspaper. The deadline of the advertisement was to have "CAN THE HOLOCAUST LEGEND lEAR SCRUTINY?"

The second for $6,000 was to pay for speakers who would debate the validity of the Holocaust. The student newspaper decided to run the advertisement, but then reversed its decision by a 3-2 vote. The reversal followed a presentation in Lincoln on "revisionist" practices by Jeffrey Santis, executive director, ADL/CRC, who was accompanied by Lincoln residents Yale Gotsdiner and Art Abrams. Rabbi Ian Jacknis of Tifereth Israel, Lincoln, met simultaneously with others on campus. The University also decided to return the second check to Mr. Curry thereby rejecting his invitation for a debate. For many years, Mr. Curry has maintained a public profile in Nebraska's newspapers with his attempts to publicize his views on Jews, Israel, and the Holocaust. A few years ago, he tried to set up a similiar debate at Northwestern University-in Evanston. 111. Meanwhile, the Daily Nebraskan continued coverage of the controyra-sy in its Monday edition with a front page story describing the criticism the paper encountered for not zimning the ad and a column on the editorial page listing some of the evidence for the occurrence of the Holocaust. In the front page story, Oliver Von (Continued to Page 2)

Knesset approves cabinet; Shamir stresses unity By Hugh Orgel JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier Yitzhak Shamir's 25-member Cabinet won Knesset approval by a vote of 62-17 with three abstentions. In a 40-nainute address preceding the vote of confidence. Shamir said his government would focus miunly on economic affairs during the final two years of its tenure but would also vigorously pursue the peace progress. He stressed the "unity of the nation," said that U.S.-Israel relations were at an "unprecedented peak" and expressed hope that the Eastern European bloc, "first and foremost" the Soviet Union, would change their attitude toward Israel. Shamir emphasized that "Like its predecessor, this government will be a government of national unity—It will refrain from divisiveness and extremism, will strive for mutual respect and consideration for others, and will seek to augment the love of Israel within us." He said that both Likud and the Labor Party shared the aim of a strong and economically sound Israel living at peace with its Arab neighbors. He said the differences between the main coalition partners were not over aims but over the tactics needed to achieve those aims. "National unity is not just a matter of parliamentary convenience," Shandir said. "Those who conceived the idea of the unity

government hoped and desired that by virtue of its very formation and existence, that government would project a message of unity, of drawing closer together, of love of Israel and of true cooperation among the country's political leadership and between all the strata of the population in the country. "These goals have already been achieved to a certain extent, and the government I head will indeed make the imity of the nation its chief concern," Shamir said. Shamir termed the government's economic program a "Zionist economy." Its goals, he said, are "reducing inflation to acceptable levels in order to attract immigration and ensure economic growth with work available for all newcomers, and the settle^ ment of the entire Eretz'Israel—the Biblical land of Israel or Palestine." According to Shamir, "The unity government which has just concluded the first half of its term of office, has already registered some not inconsiderable achievements—in the economy, in labor relations, in foreign policy, in the war against Arab terrorism, and in fortifying Israel's security." He expressed his "thanks and appreciation to the outgoing Prime Minister, Mr. Shimon Peres, for the understanding and cooperation he accorded me during the two years (of Peres' tenure), and to wish him the best in his next position" as Foreign Min-: ister.

Nationwide campaign launched to help family farmers New York —A nationwide drive to alleviate problems of economic hardship, family break-down fmd anti-Semitism associated with the nation's deepening farm crisis was announced by a coalition of farmers' and Jewish organizations. Appearing together at a news conference were: Cy Carpenter, president of the National Farmers Union; David H. Goldstein, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Bureau of Kansas City; Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations; David Senter, executive director of the American Agricultural Movement; and Gertrude White, national president of Women's American ORT. The news conference took place at the offices of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, 838 Fifth Avenue, In a Bukkah—the traditional temporary shelter erected during Sukkot, the Jewish festival that celebrates the agricultural roots of the Jewish people. Speaking for the UAHC, Rabbi Schindler declared: "Judaism teaches a respect for the land and those who till it. It reminds us that the earth is the Lord's and that those who make it yield its increase are priests, partners of God in the act of creation. "We must revere the farmer as much as the scholar, for both do the Lord's work. It is our solemn obligation to make certain that they will not be denied the fruits of their labor. We owe them so very much, and our Sukkot festival reminds us of our dependence on them." In welcoming the efforts of the Jewish groups, Mr. Senter of the American Agricultural Movement stated: "The involvement of coalitions is essential if there is tp be any hope for the future of family farmers. By standing together we move one step closer to solving this crisis." Mr. Carpenter of the National Farmers Union praised the Jewish community for "undertaking to help us correct the injustice that is being imposed on American farmers. We look forward," he said, "to working very closely and effectively together on this and any other issues where people's rights and dignity are being denied."

Mr. Goldstein, whose agency in Kansas City was among the first Jewish groups to help family farmers, told the news conference: "Initiidly it was our alarm over antiSemitic propaganda intended to exploit the frustrations and anxieties of farmers facing economic devastation that Jed us to examine rural conditions. In doing so, we learned that thousands of-family farmers—300 a day—were being stripped of their land and their livelihood. We also learned of social instability linked to economic stress— suicides, alcoholism and violence within families. "For the security of the Jewish community, we felt it necessary to combat this flaring up of anti-Semitism. And in keeping with our religious tradition and social values, we determined that we must come to the aid of our rural brothers." Mrs. White of ORT and Mr. Goldstein announced the launching of a national petition campaign to Congress calling for an immediate moratorium on foreclosures, which have claimed 300,000 farms in nine Midwestern states since 1980. The petition also calls for fair prices for farm products and an emergency assistance program for victims of farm bankruptcies, foreclosures, rural unemployment and business failures stemnving from the farm crisis. The petition drive will seek one million signatures and will be conducted by the 800 Reform synagogues of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and by the 145,000 members of Women's American ORT's 1,200 chapters, most of them in large urban centers. Mrs. White explained that, "as the vocational and techinical training arm of the Jewish people, ORT appreciates the importance of productive labor, both as a means of livelihood and because it cannot be separated from the dignity of the individual or the wealth of society. "We feel a tremendous affinity for these farm families, "^ she said. Women's American ORT, which funded the Kansas City farm crisis project, "sought to create a model program that could be emulated and joined by other or-

ganizations across the country," Mrs. White said. In addition to the petition to Congress, the Kansas City project has included programs to re-train farmers who have lost their farms, visits to rural areas so that Jewish community leaders could learn farmers' problems at first hand and letterwriting campaigns to support legislation aimed at alleviating the farm crisis, she said. The Women's American ORT leader added: "The anti-Semitic, racist and extremist groups exploiting the farm crisis are still relatively small, but their activities are spreading and are having serious and destructive consequences."

Curry ad dropped by UNL newspaper (Continned from Page 1) Birkenwaldau-Leadabrand, identified as president of Hillel on can^ua, was quoted as saying that the press "failed" when it did not nin Curry's ad. The press should give people like Curry the opportunity to voice their views, Mr. Von Birkenwaldau-Leadabrand stated in the article. The coliunn on the editorial page, headlinefi, "The Holocaust happened", was written by Todd von Kampen, identified as a senior news-editorial and music major and a Daily Nebraskan editorial page assistant. His conclusion: "Some may wonder why we have to be reminded constantly of the Holocaust. This affair with the ad reminds us why. The Holocaust is a fact so colossal, so staggering, that some in the future may find it hard to believe. "We must re-examine the evidence now and then to remind ourselves that it is a cold, hard fact—and to giiard against those who, for their own reasons, would tell you it was all some horrid Halloween ghost story." The Holocaust conference will be held in

Mr. Goldstein reported some extremist groups in the Midwest were advocating violence against Jews, blacks, law enforcement officers and public officials. He said such organizations as Posse Comitatus, Christian Identity, the Populist Party and a group that calls itself The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord were "aggressively spreading their propaganda in dozens of farm states." The National Farmers Union president, Mr. Carpenter, noting that federal legislation has been introduced "to restore economic justice" to farmers, warned that "if fairness and equity are not provided through government, people in despair will turn to whatever they see as a necessary course of action." He added: "History has demonstrated the damase that can result."

Reflections on Chabad By Dennia Prager Reprinted by permieaion of Chabad PtopU magazin*

Tolerance There is now a Lubavitcher presence in Omaha. You may have read about Rabbi Mendel Katzman, his wife, Shani, and their infant daughter, Esther, in the recent New Year issue of the Jewish Press. What does their presence here mean? This question is causing some concern among members of the Jewish community. The concern is showing up in the form of rumor and gossip, and such behavior has prompted this editorial. One of the characteristics that humans share is the fear i of the unknown, and because a permanent Lubavitcher presence in Omaha is new to the community, there is a certain amount of apprehension. Hopefully, a process of education by this newspaper and an effort on the part of the community to give the Katzmans a chance will go a long way toward eliminating the fear and miniinizing the apprehension. Both Steven Rod, executive vice president of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, and Jeffrey Aizenberg, executive director of the Jewish Community Center, have had experience with Lubavitcher rabbis in other communities. Both speak very highly of how the Lubavitchers help enhance Judaism in the community by sponsoring many creative programs that the community can participate in. One such program, a "Succos Blast" was held recently in the Sukkah at the Jewish Commimity Center. More than 100 children attended. There were games, prizes, bedloons, popcorn, a clown, and sprinkles of Jewish education. The children took to Shani and Mendel as bees take to honey. Similar favorable reports are coming in from singles, young marrieds, and other segments of the adult community. Omaha has a tradition of welcoming newcomers. That's why the Jewish Press paid so much attention to this group in the New Year issue. The Jewish Federation of Omaha has special programs throughout the year to welcome newcomers. The Katzmans are one couple making more of an impact thain most. Now is the time to welcome the Katzmans with a big "Shalom"^from one Jew to anotlier. If you've read this far, you'll be interested in the article Reflections on Chabad by Dennis Prager, one of the foremost Jewish educators on the AmericaiKscene today. The article is to your right.

Just as "You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's Jewish rye," so you don't have to be a Lubavitcher Cbasid or even an Orthodox Jew, to appreciate Chabad's work on behalf of the Jewish community and others. Indeed, at the risk of falling into the trap that the someof-my-best-friends conunents usually lead to, I am happy and proud to say, that some of my best friends are Chabadniks. - . The question is, why? Why wo»dd this rationaUst, nonni;ystical, relig:ious but non-Orthodox Jew be such an admirer of Chabad? 1. Non-judgmental. The quality of displaying a non-judgmental attitude is not often associated with Orthodox Jews, but with Chabad a non-Orthodox Jew does not sense any self-righteousness. On the contrary, there are few Jewish places that a totally irreligious Jew looking for Jewish warmth can feel as at home as he or she can at the local Chabad House,, which may very well be the private residence of the local Chabad Rabbi. -One of the most beautiful people I know. Rabbi Shlomo Schwartz of Los Angeles Chabad, who has so many friends from quite outside the Chabad framework, is a classic example of this non-judgmental trait. He lives the ideal preached by the late Chief Rabbi of Palestine, HaRav Kuk, who said that just as the Temple was destroyed because Jews hated each other for no reason—Sinat Khinaxn—so it will be rebuilt with Ahavat Khinam, when Jews love each other for no reason. 2. Commitment to the Jewish people. In the hundreds of cities throughout North America where I have lectured to Jewish communities, I can recall almost none where a Chabad presence was absent. In fact, in many commimities, the local Chabad Rabbi and his wife were for all intents-and purposes, the only source of traditional Jewish observance and teaching. 1 often recall speaking to these people and asking them whether they felt

1

lonely. In fact, thay often do. But every sin^e one also spoke of the great Mitzvah of bringing Judaism to Jews wherever the Rebbe asked them to go. In some sense, Chabad is our version of the Peace Corps. And to those who disagree with Chabad's approach, I offer a very simple challenge. Why don't you set up an army of underpaid, highly talented, Jewish idealists to go and service Jewish needs throughout the world? Then your criticisms will constitute more than mere snipping.' 3. Who else to turn to? Owing to the nature of my work, I have often been called to speak to young men and women who have left Judaism for "Jews for Jesus" or some other such Aberration. The hope was that my approach to influencing people to remain or become committed to G-d! Torah and Israel would have some impact on this aUenated Jew. Sometimes I did have some success. But often, the last thing in the world that this young man or woman would respond to was my brand of intellectual and rational argumentation. What they needed to see was a Jew who is as passionately religious, as oriented to hearing Che word of G-d, as they now felt they were. Time after time, therefore, I sent these young men and women to Chabad. I knew that if Chabad failed, there was little chance that anyone else would succeed in reclaiming this person for the Jewish people. I also knew one other thing. No one would spend as much time on a single, alienated Jew as would a Chabad rabbi. They would give endless hours of their time to working on a single Jewish soul. Of whom else could that be said? 4. Passionate and alive. Finally, Chabad displays another trait so lacking in Jewish Ufe, whether religious or secular—passion. They are alive, they act happy (maybe they are happy), and their love of Judaism is infectious..In a society that overflows with' . fun but which mightily lacks happiness, this is a very -powerful- trait. I don't agree with every position they take, but I am very grrateful that Chabad is around.

Not only has she caught up on all the mending, she still drops in every week to stay on top of the hemming and fixing as things pilb up in the laundry mending box. The nice feature on the bulletin board entitled "Getting to Know You" has been a great addition to the Home. This month Marion Simon did a wonderful job interviewing Anna Cohn, then and now. Stop by and take a look and get to know Anna better. George Schapiro, our ever faithful volunteer, helped get the residents out to the Greek Isle and Piccolo Pete's for Bunch to Lunch this month.

Parashat Bereshit "What in this thing called love?" Those who availed themselves last Sunday of the free luxw-y of hearing the end of Torah read, and the beginning of Torah read immediately after, have already heard the opening Words of Scripture, the stately, solemnly described Creation story. The passage is very moving. It captivates the reader or the listener and demands his full attention, for there is no more fundamental question in all of human history than this one. How did this world begin? How came there to be sun and moon and stau-s? How came there to be day and night in endless succession? And most important in this sequence of inquiries: How came there to be Msui? And what is Man? One might say that the rest of the Bible, and indeed all that goes by the name of "religious inquiry" ever since, is directed to answering these questions that our ancient ancestors put at the very beginning, the very beginning of their earnest attempts to understand the universe. In it they found God. In the second chapter our author included another question, which I have phrased, tongue-in-cheek, What is this thing called Love? Young swains and damsels have swooned over the question and the delightful discovery that evokes it, through all the centuries. Novelists, poets, and song-writers make their living from it. Artists— writers, painters, sculptors —have devoted lifetimes of talent and inspiration to it. In the first creation story (Chapter 1), we are told that God created mankind male and female. In the second creation story (Chapter 2), the author tells us that mankind was originally androgenous—male and female tpgether. Indeed the Midrash notes this, that the first human was both male

and female. On our living-room wall Dorothy and I proudly display the New York-andlarael artist Ben-Zion's First Human. He is not yet complete. God is still working on him. But he already has both male and female attributes. He (she) is androgenous. But, in Chapter 2, the author goes on to tell the famous story of the creation of Eve, the Woman, from the side of Adam, the Man. Is it not likely that this ancient, anonymous author was addressing himself to the age-old question: What is this attraction, and what is the reason for the attraction of man to woman and woman to mem? What is this thing called Love? His emswer makes sense of the whole thing—without detracting from its delight. Man and woman, he tells us, were once one, together, a unit. And now separated, man and woman want to be together again, one, a unit. This the attraction, this the magnetism, this the irresistible call of Love. Jewish practice Jewish tradition—indeed, even in the wedding ceremony— take note of this and call attention to it. Our tradition demands that it be looked upon seriously, as well as joyously, and that "this thing called Love" be regulated and sanctified in marriage. It is marriage that truly defines love and makes it radiant. Two additional thoughts: First, note that marriage, in this story, is God-given. Adam doesn't complain about being alone; it is God who says that it is not good for M Em to be alone. And He creates the Woman for him. And second: the stpry assumes monogamy. We often fail to note that. It is one Man and one Woman. And the power of the attraction is put in these simple but arresting words: Hence a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Cantor Fettman leads tour By Bert Lewis

Good news—that is, if you're old enough to be a gtUidparent. Despite the fact that this entire country has worshipped youth for such a long time, I'm here to tell you it's now more than ok to be grandparents. I got to thinking about all this when I saw aome florist advertisements aimed at "Grandparent's Day." I think the official designation was last Sept. 7. Imagine, now we have in addition to Mother's Day and Fath^r's Day, a special day to honor the people you think of as Grandima/Bobie or Grandpa/Zadie. And it isn't just the commercial stuff either. The courts are beginning to see more and more cases all over the country where grandparents are petitioning for legal rights (where grandkids are concerned) in divorced couples. For instance, you often read about people who have been excluded from the lives of their grandchildren because of this or that grievance. Happily, many judges are seeing the humane side of such issues and granting some privileges. But I didn't naean to get all serious about it. I'm just so tickled to see that being over 49 isn't supposed to send a person directly to a rocking chair anymore. The change in attitude is really noticed in the advertising world. So often now a grey-haired grandmotherly type is pictured as a mannequin; and not only do they model, but emphaais is now directed at special make-up for that age group. Haileluja! It's refreshing to see somebody ovor the age of 17 in the slick magazines. Besides all that, there are support groups and advocacy groups and I don't know what other kinds, all especially formed to be of assistance. Not to be condescending, but to recognize that a large percentage of the population is over, shall we say, middle age. Used to be nobody cared or paid attention I I think a great deal of credit ought to go to a tiny, fiesty lady who organized a group called "The Grey Panthers." She has personally done more than any 20 kids to further her cause. So, what's the message? Seems to me it's clear. It's alright not to be a kid. It's alright to gently mature (because everybody else is tool). It's alright to be realistic about the fact that nobody stays sweet 16 or sweet anything else forever. Isn't all that a relief? Now we can go ahead and settle some of the real problems in the world, since we don't have to be so worried about age. Tell you what. I'll work on the Latin American cotuitries and you do the Russians!

Members of the community may join Cantor Leo Fettman in an exciting tour of Israel as part of "Israel with Song, A Festive Gathering of Cantors," July 7-22, 1987.

Interested people should contact Cantor Fettman at 551-6609 or attend an information night at his home, 1317 N. 57th street, on Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m.

COST-SAVING STEPS: Moat audits sliould be bid out to private firms, analyzed "ongoing" to find patterns of waste/fraud. Office should function like Federal G.A.O. making frequent reports to Liegislature, saving money statewide. DiBseminate information on coatsaving changes to all units of Gov't. Merge analysis functions of Legislative committees. Fiscal Analyst, perhaps Treasurer. 2. REMAIN ELECTED OFFICE? NO—The average voter is unaware of the importance of the Auditor's function, ana his identity. Tlie l.«^slature is without authority to compel the Auditor to provide needed information beyond the minimum. An appointed non-partisan, non- ^ political Auditor would be accountable every day—"one day every four years" is no accountability. Republican RAV A.C. JOHNSON, 63. 7641 Old Post Rd., #12. Lincoln.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY: Get all the infromation to tbe taxpayers and not try to conceal aome of the facts from the people which has been done in the past. The more the people know the nKM-e likely they are to become involved in the decssions nuMle by the Douglas County Board. 2. COUNTS LANDFILL: An estimated 76% of the trash consists of trees, grass, paper, cans, and construction material as compared to "garbage". By uaing conaarvation practices and aource separation, many sites are available for non "garbage" items. We can use seperate dumps and the "garbage" dump can have a much longer life. 3. LOW INCOME HEALTH CARE: Develop a system to pre-qualify the truly needy so as to guarantee that these people can find access into the system. At the same time provide funds ana contain costs for the taxpayers. Control the guidelines so that only people in true need are provided for. BILL KRE JCI, 69. 7270 Frederick Street.

This is the only underdeveloped area within close proximity of Omaha. Further acquisitions of property for 1 .^n^ifjll needs must be secured in this general direction. Considsration should also baijRQrd limit exceeded) 3. LOW INCOME HEALTH CARE: Primary health care cannot be shelved, but consolidation of whatevo- groups are possible should be made to make the money available go as far as possible. Duplication cannot be tolerated in any form. QEORQE M. STRYKER. 47, 5620 Howard.

Community service, 30 years, includes Kiwanis. Girl Scouts, Ak-Sar-Ben, Creche, CSM, Marian, Nebraska Racing Commiseion, United Fund, CYO, and SL Margaret Mary's Parish. 1. PUBLIC ACCESSIBILITY: I recommend the usage of Public Service Programs and channels on televiaion and radio. Also a weekly written report in the newspapers from a different county department, function, or funded project should be utilitxed. Nothing should be hidden from the public, such as the solvency of the county pension fund. 2. COUNTY LANDFILL: I wouU purchase suitable land that can utilize modem trash disposal tedmiques that eliminate the oder and sanitary problems that oisplease our citizens. Hopefully this land can be returned to useful needs after it has been filled. 3. LOW INCOME HEALTH CARE: I would propoae that a common fund ttmivng all charitable hoepitals in Douglas Co. estabbah a common fund to pay for medical care that government care to the iwUgent does not fund, lliis would pass on tne excessive costs occuring at St. Joseph's and University hospitals currently.

With results of this studv along with advanced technology the County has been actively reeearcning areas for the past three years for a possible replacement. 3. LOW INCOME.

CUHRICULAR CHANGES: While the primary objecUve of our srhools is to teach the three R's, it is imftortant that appropriate life skills are also taught, including information on the hazarda of inappropriate behaviors. The Millard Schools have a uniqtie prtwram for aarW detection of drug and alcohol abuse and subaequent referral. 2. PROGRAM PLAfJNlNG, SALARIES: Tax increases or program cuts are dependent on the nature and severity of fiscal constraints. Our obligation is to provide the best education in the most coat effective manner. Teacher contracts negotiated by one school systam HIM^IM not dictate the contracts for anotner ayatam - excellence in education is the key. USA BINKO. 2S. 1117 "W" Street. B.A. degree from K.S.C. in Education, 1983. I'm presently in a teaching position where 1 work with chiklren Ist-12th grades. My desire is to not only supply those students with the best and moat complete education possible, but also to love them. This serves as my motivation for seeking a seat on the Millard School Board. 1. CURRICULAR CHANGES; Social Issues such as these should begin in the family. Facts belong in education; whereas, morals belong in the home. The school's focus must stay on academics in Education. 2. PROGRAM PLANNING. SALARIES: I believe moat taxpayers would not be in favor of raised taxes. Therefore, a school diatrid must function within their to&moB. This means reviewing all prQ0ams to determine the quality and necessity of each. The size of Mularain comparison to Onuina ia tlie deciding factor in computing teachers salaries. RONALD F. BORKA, 44. 5006 S. 149th St. I am a NWBell Manager with a BS in Mathematics. I've resided in tlie district for 12 yemn and have served: as a PTO Praaidant, on the district's Li^gislativa Action and long-range planning committBes. and the MSHS parent advisory board. I^ active in the Amarican Legion and St. John Vianney Catholic Church. 1. CURRICUtAR CHANGES: Although the district has incor. porated. at both the elementary and secondary levels, curricular units dMltng with these tepics, I would encourage a review of these units and (avnrably support a chan^ to exiating policy, if it was deemed necessary. We have an obligation to keep our children informed and aware. 2. PROGRAM PLANNING. SALARIES: Assuming, that every effwt had been made to control and limit expenses, I would favor a tax increaae to help deal with aid reductions. Every effort should be made to attract and retain quality teachers, including the closing of salary differmcee between Omaha or any other school district if necessary.

CURRICULAR CHANGES: I believe the Millsrd School District has an adequate program to deal with pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse. 1 sm niore concerned about parent choice and program alternatives that are meaningful. 2. PROGRAM PLANNING. SALARIES: Millard residents choose cmality education. Program cuta should be reviewed for their effects on children and the curriculum. I can make the effect of rhoice* undarstandable to the voters. Than the voters decide. If MiUard schools are losing quality teachers because of a salary differential, eliminate the JOHN R.

JUDICIAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS Judges in Nebraska are not elected, as their function is to SMily the law rather than to build constituencies. Voters are asked whettwr, based on past judicial performance, the judges should be retained in office. This is known as the merit selection plan, or the Missouri Plan. As it is difficult for a layman to know about or understand the intricacies of the courtroom performance of judges, the Nebraska Bar Association offers guidance. It polls its member attorneys for their professional evaluations of the judges befcMV whom they actualfy practice. If a judge is removed m>m office by voters in a sinuple majority vote, or if a vacancy other^se occurs, the vacancy is filleothniugfa the merit selection plan. A judicial nominating commission, made up of lawyers and citizen r^resentatives from both partiee, receives names of people who want to be considered for uipoinunent to the bench, and convenes a public hearing. After the heartngr the commission sends the GovemcK' the namee of at least two qualified candidates. The Oovemor cboooes the new judge from that list. Few judges nave been removed from offlce by a vote not to retain. However, of those removed, a niajority initially canw to the bench at a tinte when judges were elected, rather than coming through nterit selection prooesa. • Thaee ratings shcnr the percentage of lawvers responding "yee" to the qoestion. "Inyourofriaioa, should this juoge be retained bi office?" D. Nick Caporale John T. Grant

Tlia intent ia fbr tna I agi'l'tiire to meet for organixational purrioaea, and tbsn raoaaa ontil January. PRO: L^ialatnna staffs eauM work on bill-writing and phvaical organization of the oRIoas during tha raeaaa, so that tltare waula ba a more ordariy and eflactiva hagiimlng in January. CON: TSs Lagialaturs could chooae not to recias immediately in December, and then conduct bualnesa at a Ums whsn the public might be too involved with the holidays to give proper scrutiny to what was going on. Legislators might intnxiuoe even more billa than now. ainoe there wouU be leea pleasure of time.

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 2 lliia amendment iiiakaa changes^ and additions to currsnt impeachment procedure, "•-'^"E inipeachment a dvO proceeding rather than a criminal proceeding, asd lapaiilingi lininlfonnnsii as s cause for impeachment. . , ^ . ^ PRO: It clears up sonia aituations about which tbare have been questions. As s civil pr<x»eding, a lower degree of proof would be re3uired for conviction. Change to a civil status coukf require the defenant to take the stand, generally disallowing the privilegs against selfincrimination. It would wt drinking problems be covered by treatment or removal from office for neglect or nogtigwnre in office. CON: Impreciae wording could allow procrastination in beginning the impeachmant proceeding. Some fed that an impeachment proceeding is too serious to be treated as a dvO matter. Some feel that drunkanness should remain as an impeachable oflanss. A vote FOR will maka the above changes in curmt impeachment procedure, A vote AGAINST will kaip tha impaechmant procedure as it ia presently written.
