Senate apathy
by GARY SEACREST
Ncbraskan Staff Writer
Reviewing his ten months in
office, ASUN President Bill
Chaloupka Tuesday criticized
the performance of the student
senate, but praised the ac
complishments of other ASUN
sponsored programs.
"We haven't had a very ef
fective Senate this year," he
said. "But with regard to
services and programs offered
by ASUN, it has been ASUN's
most effective year."
Chaloupka said that such
ASUN sponsored programs as
the World in Revolution con
ference, Nebraska Free
University, Faculty Evaluation
ancMhe student record store
were highly successful.
The ASUN president said that
ASUN's biggest problem this
year has been trying to make
the Senate a viable body.
"The existence of the Council
on Student Life made the fact
apparent that the Senate is
trying ttf be a legislative body
when it has little legislative
power,'? ; he said. "It will be
difficult in the future for the
Senate to pretend it is a
legislative body."
The ASUN Senate has had
other problems this school
year. : Ten senators have
resigned since last spring and
the Senate has been frequently
troubled by lack of quorum.
Chaloupka said the Senate
has been ineffective due to its
own inefficiency, a lack of ex
ecutive leadership, and the fact
that talented people are in
volved In other activities. He
added that student apathy was
not responsible for the Senate
failings this school year.
But the ASUN president
noted that the Senate could be
an innovative force next
semester.
To accomplish this
Chaloupka suggested that the
Senate become more Involved
in the total process student
government and that the
Senate establish a better rap
port with students serving on
important University com
mittees. Efforts have been started this
semester to make the Senate
more effective. Last month
ASUN started Investigating the
possible restructuring of the
Senate and the Senate itself
requested the University Rights
Committee to consider the
creation of a student-faculty
senate.
Chaloupka said he favored
the concept of a student-faculty
senate. But he noted that such
university senates in the U.S.
have only been created as the
results of serious campus
disrupt
Commenting on the
usefulness of the World in
Revolution conference in which
ASUN spend $3,000, Chaloupka
said, "There is cause to ques
tion a program when you spend
that much money In a week.
But it was a justified expense.
It was the most successful stu
dent activity ever done on the
. campus." i
"We've achieved many
things this vear and we hv
' opened alternatives for future
ASUN leaders," he continued.
He mentioned student cooper
atives and faculty evaluation
as the main innovative areas
; of the current ASUN, - '
i Chaloupka, an engineering
major, said he would probably
be attending the University
; next year. If he is at the
University next year,
Chaloupka said he would con
sider about applying for man
ager of the student record
store. v
; Chaloupka's one year term as
'' ASUN president ends April 29.
