Committee will study worker's accusations
A former employee of the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism has accused the committee of "double counting" participants in some of its prevention programs and of showing unauthorized reproductions of films and videotapes.
Leroy McDermott, who resigned as the committee's director of prevention in October 1983, outlined his complaints in a letter sent this week to Bruce Beale, the committee's executive director, and to the press.
At the committee's annual meeting last night, Beale said that a three-member panel had been appointed to investigate McDermott's allegations and would meet within two weeks.
The committee provides counseling and prevention programs for

In his letter, McDermott asks whether the committee double counts students participating in its school-based prevention programs — once when they start a program and once when they finish.
Double counting creates misleading statistics, M-Dermott said, giving agencies that finance the committee the impression that the committee serves more people than it actually does.
"What they really should do is count student-contact hours," he said.
Beale said that the agency did not overstate the number of people it served.

The American press spends too much time covering the horse race aspect of presidential elections and not enough time covering the issues, a former ABC news president said last night.
By MARY CARTER Staff Reporter
"Some newspaper, radio and television reporters think their readers, listeners and viewers understand the presidential election only in terms of who's ahead in the polls," Elmer Lower, the former ABC official, told about 30 people in Stauffer-Flint Hall. "They need to know more about where the candidates stand on the issues."
LOWER SAID THAT many reporters, led by some of the country's leading political correspondents, expected too much of one or more of
Newsman faults election coverage
Lower also said the three major television networks needed to show responsibility in projecting election results.
The Democratic presidential nomination was awarded to Mondale before any primary elections, he said. Then, reporters wrote about Gary Hart's "unexpected" wins in the Iowa, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont elections.
"Unexpected by whom?" Lower asked. "They ignored Hart for more than a year. It was an upset of their own erroneous expectations."
In 1980, NBC projected Reagan the winner at 8:02 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, two minutes after the game, closed, and hours before, polls in the World News.
"THE SWIFT NBC News projection was a great shock to voters and candidates in the Rocky Mountain
Lower said he thought the networks would continue projecting election results until state or national legislation called for a standard poll-closing time or a 24-hour voting day in which all polls closed at the same time.

and West coast states," he said. "Carter made it worse when he threw in the towel 30 minutes after the NBC projection. Candidates in the states where there were still two to three hours left to vote were very upset."
The presidential debates provide valuable information to voters and should be required in every presidential election. Lower said.
"The formats are not perfect," he said. "But they go a long way to provide information that voters do not see." The news format is too brief to provide.
