Unicameral Bills
Vary on NU Fate
Measures 'Anonymity Explained
By Marilyn Coffey
Legislation during the cur
rent Unicameral session will
affect everything from off
campus classes to University
employee retirement.
Behind the anonymity of
LB numbers, the story of the
fate of many areas of Uni
versity operation lies.
Off-Campus Classes
One of the first measures
introduced was LB30, which
would authorize the Univers-
gious explanation of the world
because of the secientific at
mosphere which pervades
most secular universities, he
said.
File Boxes
Thus many students treat
religion and their college ex
perience as two separate en
tities, almost as if in two sep
arate file boxes. They open
the religious file on Sundays
and other religious occasions
and then during the rest of the
week they go back to the col
lege file as if the two were
separate and incompatible, he
commented.
Some students, Rabbi Stein
went on, don't even bother to
maintain the Sunday Die but
operate entirely on a mater
ialistic basis.
The pastor of a religious
group must make available
the C"nplet knowledge to
show Uu. oet veen science and
religion there are no conflicts.
In fact, religion actually
makes the scientific and secu
lar explanations of the world row who told him he would

Stern said, because it has police said he failed to re-;

ligion. I
"Good religion has nothing
to fear from science and good ;
science has nothing to f e a r
from religion, Rabbi Stern
said.
In answer to the question
of how Religious Emphasis
Week fits into the picture
Rabbi Stern explained that
we love our mothers the year
around but we still set aside
Mothers Day as a reminder
of this love.

ity to hold off-campus classes.
The school had been holding
classes off-campus regularly
until last year when Attorney
General C. S. Beck's opinion
revealed the University lacked
legal authority to do so.
An emergency clause in
cluded in LB30 would allow
the measure to go into effect
immediately upon signature
by the governor. Without the
emergency clause, bills signed
by the governor do not be
come effective until 90 days
after the legislative session
ends.
LB30 is in final enrollment
and review. The next step for
this bill will be the final read
ing before the legislature.
Omaha Opposition
Opposition to the bill came
from Omaha University which
objected to the "vague" word

Donald Emery, Dean of
Omaha's College of Adult Ed
ucation, told the Education
Committee that other colleges
have the right to approve the
courses that would be taught
in any cities having institu
tions of higher learning.
LB587
Similar to LB30, but more
inclusive, is LB587. This bill
would authorize the Univers
ity to hold off-campus courses
and, in addition, empowers
the school to furnish instruc
tion on a contract basis at
junior colleges.
Cost for instruction must be
paid to the University, the
bill specifies, and the junior
colleges would also have to
provide administration and
building costs.
LB587 has been referred to
the Education Committee and
no date has been set for pub
lic hearing.
Bolster Staffs
The intent of the bill, ac
cording to its introducers, is
to bolster junior college staffs
by providing limited instruc
tional help.
However, Chancellor Clif
ford Hardin said the bill
might conceivably be
stretched far enough to allow
the University to provide all
teaching services at request
of the two-year schools.
