Civil Commitment Of The Mentally Ill In Nebraska, Larry L. Langdale

Nebraska Law Review

Nebraska's procedures for the civil commitment of the mentally ill are lacking in protections for the rights of those individuals who become involved in the process and thus are constitutionally suspect. The statutes are loosely drafted and unclear as to procedural steps within the commitment proceedings. It is true that such procedures are subject to unique problems that are not readily adaptable to normal judicial processes. It is submitted, however, that individual liberties need not be subordinate to a workable commitment process. While medical and legal views of the process are to a certain extent conflicting, they are by no …

Constitutional Law—The Sterilization Of The Mentally Deficient—A Reasonable Exercise Of The Police Power?—State V. Cavitt, 182 Neb. 713, 157 N.W.2d 171 (1968), Larry L. Langdale

Nebraska Law Review

The Compulsory Eugenic Sterilization (CES) of certain classes of individuals within our society has been practiced in the United States since 1907. This practice is based upon a theory of eugenics which assumes that certain types of people are socially more desirable than others and that the improvement of future generations can be accomplished through decreasing the rate of propagation of the inferior individuals and thus increasing the proportion of the desirable types. Proponents of the principle, relying on scientific claims that certain types of mental disabilities are inheritable traits, advocate the sterilization of those persons possessing these …

Zoning Laws As Evidence Of Negligence, Leroy W. Orton

Nebraska Law Review

The purpose of this comment is to present the idea that zoning laws should be construed as safety ordinances and that, as such, violations of them should be admissible as evidence of negligence in civil actions. A brief history of zoning and a discussion of the purposes of zoning presently recognized by the courts are followed by a consideration of recognized safety statutes and the evidentiary significance given them by the courts as related to modern zoning laws.

The New Dilemma In The Juvenile Court, Charles W. Tenney Jr.

Nebraska Law Review

Recent years have witnessed a mounting crescendo of concern over the administration of our juvenile courts. In general, this concern has manifested itself in two somewhat contrasting attitudes. On the one hand, juvenile court judges are castigated for handing out light "sentences" and kid glove treatment to tough young hoodlums who steal our automobiles, deface our landscape, defile our daughters, and disparage our cherished institutions—all, probably, while hopped up on narcotics or barbiturates. On the other hand, the juvenile court and its judges are seen as instruments of oppression, inequity, and injustice, masquerading behind a facade of benevolence and concern …

Standards—A Safeguard For The Exercise Of Delegated Power, Maurice H. Merrill

Nebraska Law Review

There is a widely approved "doctrine that delegation of legislative or judicial power to administrative agencies must be limited by the imposition of legislatively prescribed standards" in order to be valid under state and national constitutions. What is the practical value of the doctrine of standards? Since it rests not upon specific constitutional texts but upon judicial construction of very broad constitutional provisions, I suppose it may be proper to argue that this interpretation should be reexamined in the light of experience. I suggest that the practical employment of the doctrine of standards embodies a number of useful functions. The …

Business In Nebraska #287, August 1968, Edward L. Hauswald, E. L. Burgess

Business in Nebraska

Inflation: Its Measurement and Some Developments (E. L. Hauswald)

"Inflation is a term which has been, and continues to be, subject to a variety of interpretations" Regardless of the interpretation and despite the likelihood of being lulled into apathy by constant references to it, mere mention of inflation still evokes marked reactions. Given, for example, a rise in the level of prices and a reluctance to alter consumption patterns, individual and group activities occur at the private and public levels, reflecting attempts to increase the real income and hence restore real consumption patterns.

Seminal Vesiculectomy In Bulls, L. C. Faulkner, M. L. Hopwood, J. N. Wiltbank

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Semen was evaluated before and after seminal vesiculectomy in seven bulls. Volume, motility, percentage of live cells and primary abnormalities decreased, while cell concentration and secondary morphological abnormalities increased. Five of the bulls were mated with heifers and had acceptable fertility. The vesicular glands influence certain seminal characteristics but are not essential to fertility.

Federal Estate Taxes—Deviation From Mortality Tables Under Section 2037, Steven D. Brumley

Nebraska Law Review

A recent decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit1 has caused some discussion by legal writers and undoubtedly some apprehension by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The case is Hall v. United States and the problem presented was whether the United States Life Table 385 is the exclusive method of determining the value of a reversionary interest under section 2037 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Seventh Circuit, in allowing the use of evidence to show the decedent's actual life expectancy, found that the words "by usual methods of valuation" in the code made it …

Constitutional Aspects Of Sex-Based Discrimination In American Law, Leo Kanowitz

Nebraska Law Review

American law, whether in the shape of legislation, court decisions, or administrative action, continues in many instances to accord men and women different treatment solely because of sex. Such differences in treatment have often been challenged in the courts as alleged violations of state or federal constitutional provisions. But, for the most part, these constitutional attacks have met with failure, leading to, among other things, persistent pressure for a federal constitutional amendment that would specifically prohibit legal discrimination based on sex (the so-called "equal rights" amendment). In recent years—no doubt partly due to a general rekindling of interest in the …

Rated Pleasantness And Association Value Of 101 English Nouns, Albert Silverstein, Richard A. Dienstbier

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Ratings of pleasantness (PL) on a 7-point scale and of association value (a′) on a 5-point scale are reported for 101 two-syllable nouns. The ratings were obtained from two samples of 100 women each and two samples of 100 men each. Sizable differences were obtained between words on both scales. For women and men respectively, PL and a′ were correlated .570 and .585; PL and printed frequency were correlated .233 and .207; frequency and a′ were correlated .533 and .764. Women’s and men’s ratings correlated .973 for PL and .899 for a′.

Urban Geology—A Need And A Challenge, William J. Wayne

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Urban land uses are rapidly converting open land into intensively used land. Generally, in planning those uses, a comprehensive study has included everything except an evaluation of the land in three dimensions. Geologists are eminently well equipped to supply the missing data, but they must also be aware of the needs of the urban community and the kinds of information needed by planners if they are to write reports usable by planners. Urban and environmental geology is a newly expanding field in the use of geologic data to help solve some urban problems in the planning stage. It is likely …

The Role Of Adventitious Reinforcement In Operant Discrimination, Alan Kamil, John W. Davenport

Avian Cognition Papers

Rats were trained in 2 S^D-S^Δ discrimination experiments in which the effects of an S^D-postponement contingency during S^Δ and temporal regularity of S^Δ duration were assessed. Experiment I showed that discrimination is markedly facilitated by the presence of an S^D-postponement contingency of either fixed or variable duration. Experiment II showed that variable-duration S^Δ periods in a noncontingent schedule can also greatly enhance formation of an operant discrimination. These effects were attributed to differences in the probability of adventitious reinforcement of S^Δ behavior by S^D events.

Taxonomic Characters In The Genus Echinococcus (Cestoda: Taenlidae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Not more than four species of cestodes of the genus Echinococcus Rudolphi, 1801, are recognized as valid. The larval stage of at least three of them is able to develop in man, causing respective types of hydatid disease. Accurate characterization of these cestodes, including both larval and adult stages, is essential for identification, upon which depends development of methods for preventing infection of man and domestic animals. Because morphological characteristics of the larval cestodes may be modified according to the species of host in which they develop, identification should be based upon taxonomic characters of specimens from the respective natural …

Constitutional Law—Vagrancy, Loitering, And Related Offenses Held Unconstitutional Because Of Vagueness And Overbreadth: Baker V. Binder, 274 F.Supp. 658 (W.D. Ky. 1967), H. Bruce Hamilton

Nebraska Law Review

Loitering and disorderly conduct statutes have long been criticized as being catch-alls whereby the sensibilities of certain citizens may be protected from certain activities which they consider offensive. And vagrancy statutes have been attacked for making no activity a crime. However, the roots of these laws run deep and their history may be traced back to feudal times when they were utilized by the lords to "protect" themselves from undesirables. Vagrancy statutes then developed as the criminal side of the poor laws. Apparently the philosophy behind such modern day statutes is that a vagrant is a probable criminal; that there …

The Necessity To Change Man's Traditional View Of Nature, Earl Finbar Murphy

Nebraska Law Review

New preconceptions for the common man of this and future generations must be formed so that reality can be responded to in a way that does not bring human culture to a terminus. The common man—peasant, fisherman, industrialist, banker, politician, to name a few of the occupations meant by that term—must not come to see nature as a mine and his future salvation as a rocket ride to Mars, where all the old worldly mistakes can be repeated. What finally must be accepted, instead, is the vision of man as the giver to nature, the warden of himself and his …

Sociological Studies Of The Alpine Vegetation On Long Peak, Walter Kiener

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

General. On this continent no investigation is on record that had for its purpose the structural study of a whole unit complex of alpine vegetation. From Colorado several works are available that treat of the problem in part only. There was very little in the available literature on the biology, structure, and floristic composition of the complete vegetation when the writer, as a ranger for the United States National Park Service, was stationed for five summers on a ranger station located in the alpine zone facing Longs Peak. A desire to increase the knowledge of alpine vegetation led to this …

A Consideration Of Infraspecific Categories In The Genus Echinococcus Rudolphi, 1801 (Cestoda: Taeniidae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) and E. multilocularis Leuckart, 1863, have been considered polytypic species, nine and three subspecies, respectively, having been recognized mainly on typological grounds. However, limits of taxonomically significant morphological and physiological variation have not been defined, nor do we know the degree to which such variation is influenced by species of host. With the probable exception of E. g. canadensis Cameron, 1960, the recognized subspecies of E. granulosus occur sympatrically with the nominate subspecies, E. g. granulosus, of European origin. Because there are no well-defined predator-prey relationships which would ensure their ecological isolation, seven of these …
