if. V0M ff Mariyn Hoegemeyer, editor Mike Jeffrey, business manager Page 2 Friday, October 8, 1965 Power Dispute Aired At last we have the student-governing power dispute in the open. What power the Association of Students of the Univer sity of Nebraska should have under the new constitution plagued ihe formers of the new constitution last year. The questior, has worried the leaders of the various organiza tions and activities since the constitution was ratified. And it has become the PROMINENT concern of the executive leaders of the ASUN. ASUN President Kent Neumeister is under pressure to create a student governing body that really works for the students. His efforts have not been accepted. . What he and the other executive leaders have failed to realize is that the organizations that have served the University students and the campus for many years can not be expected to accept an intruder "coordinating or controlling" the activities and projects they have carried out for several years on their own and without the aid or advice of a governing body. Thursday night's dispute brought into the open the ob vious loopholes in Neumeister and Frolick's ideas of what power the committee is to have. Larry Frolick asserted that the purpose of the Alumni Foundation Association Committee was to provide ideas for Builders. Dick Newton, the chairman of the ASUN committee, and Neumeister interpreted the committee's purpose as one of action in addition to ideas. Because $200 was allotted in the ASUN budget tor the committee it seems evident that indeed the committee was set up to complete a project. Perhaps justification for a project of informing the students about the purpose of the University of Nebraska Foundation can be made. This was to be the purpose of the ASUN committee. As Neumeister pointed out in the discussion he is the only University student on campus who has contributed to the Foundation. He was cognizant of the Foundation and its projects as a freshman. This fact is not impressive. Nor is an effort to con vince University students to contribute to the Foundation while they are students practical. To make stduents aware of the Nebraska Foundation and thus increase the proba bility that they will make contributions after graduation is admirable. Such projects are being planned by the Builders' com mittee, according to Jackie Alber, president. The ASUN committee would be repeating Builders' plans. There are enough worthy causes on this campus to keep everyone working separately. There is no reason for duplication. What is needed is a realistic approach to the power situation by the campus leaders of ASUN and the various University organizations. ASUN cannot expect to assume immediate control or even partial control of the long-standing campus organi zations. The organizations must realize what an asset a strong ASUN can be in helping to implement the projects need ed at this University. May intelligent, realistic thinking and the right deci sions be a part of the Student Senate meeting next Wednes day. MARILYN HOEGEMEYER DAILY KEBR. SUBSCRIPTION loSQt By Frank Partsch My good and honorable friend Larry Anderson and myself have been arguing for two years now about the advisability of an exe cutive body to oversee dor mitory governments. When Larry finally got his contentions into print (in Thursday's Daily Ne braskan) I decided it was time to put forth the nega tive. I was present at the meeting (April, 1963) that decided to abandon the pro ject, and I say proudly that I was instrumental in the sabotage of the IDC at that time. Residence hall govern ment is a product of the ed psych lab, which classi fies and analyzes and con cludes that "all students should have a voice in the decisions that affect them." The buck' is then passed to the Division of Student Af fairs and the Housing Of fice, where the crucial de cisions are stripped off and the anemic are passed along for the students to have a voice in. In a few scattered houses, the local government acci dently manages to help the residents get to know each other. On the hall level, the government provides an ex cellent clearing house for information and announce ments coming into the hall. Aside from these minimal advantages, dormitory gov ernment is a complete and utter waste of time. Meet ings and behind the scenes decision-making are domin ated by the advisers. I can think of nothing more repulsive than a un ion of groups with no com mon bond, no similar ideo logywith not even the sit uation that renders IFC and PanHel necessary (the need of each house to pro tect itself from the rushing practices of its competitors.) There are two reasons for an inter-dorm govern ment. One, which is usual ly given to the public, is co ordination. There is nothing to coordinate. The days of the all-University function are gone. The other reason is politi cal strength, regimentation of votes. ASUN is already in trouble, and pin-voting wifl do little to bail it out. Massive ducation about all of the candidates and not a party will allow each dormie and Greek to find the mechanics of making a good decision. In addition to students and rules, there is one oth er thing that this Univer sity has too much of, and that is people who believe in projects for projects' sake alone. We can see this in IFC, Builders, Corn Cobs and even in the hallowed but tarnished sanctums of the ASUN. . We don't need any more.
