ASVN
Credit union proposed
Two resolutions and two
organic acts were read at the
ASUN Senate meeting Wed
nesday. All will probably be
introduced and voted on at next
week's meeting.
- One resolution proposed th3
establishment of a student
credit union.
"There exists a need for an
accessible, short-term, inex
pensive financial assistance
program on the NU campus,"
the resolution said. "The ap
propriate offices in the
Department of Student Affairs
(should be encouraged) to pro
roceed with their plans to imp
lemeut this program."
A second resolution was pro
mpted because 17 prospective
student organizations have filed
letters of intent in the Stirdent
Activities Office, but the ASUN
Constitution Committee has
just formed and has not yet
met.
The resolution proposed that
ASUN grant temporary ap
proval to the 17 with rights to
all facilities of the Student Ac
tivities Office until the Con
stitutional Committee is
operational.
Among the budding groups
are the Free Speech movement
and the Institute for Political
Analysis.

are : Prayer and Praise,

Spirit Group and the Cor

The two organic acts are
outgrowths of the recent con
troversy surrounding ASUN
expenditures during the strike
activities last spring.
The first states that expen
ditures amounting to more than
$100 out of the General Fund
allocation must be approvsd by
a two-third vote of the
Senate.
The second act states the
ASUN Senate must approve by
a two-thirds vote whenever the
ASUN acts as the billing agent
for an approved campus
organization.
In other action Wednesday,
the Senate postponed for one
week action on a petition that
would approve bringing
Michael Davis, a University of
Michigan graduate student who
was denied a teaching job at
NU, to the campus.
The student senate also ap
proved eight nominations to
various ASUN committees and
groups.
Included are: Sen. Georgia
Glass, executive committee;
Barry Pilger, electoral com
missioner; Dick Lehner, Meg
Hall and Bill Grundaman, CSL
Committee on Student
sannaH
Organizations: John Nitzel,
Rod Nohr and Tim Kincaid,
parking committee.
A new senator from the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences was
also approved. Jim Gordon, a
junior from Lincoln, was
elected to fill a vacancy.
Education Center
ASUN President Steve
Tiwald proposed an idea at the
meeting that he said "deserves
priority and emphasis."
He suggested a Center for
Educational Change, which
would coordinate and in some
ways consolidate the functions
of the ASUN Education Com
mittee, the Nebraska Free
University and the various
Student Advisory Boards.
"This idea would put all stu
dent educational reform groups
under one umbrella so to
speak," Tiwald said. The idea
will be formally introduced
next week.

THE NEBRASKAN
Free Speech has
funds to hring Davis
Officials of the Free Speech
Movement (FSM) announced
Wednesday afternoon that they
have sufficient funds (about
$200) to bring Michael Davis to
campus and they have
scheduled his speech for a
week from Thursday.
This action by FSM came in
spite of a Union Program
Council vote Tuesday night to
invite Davis, the Michigan
graduate student whose ap
pointment to the faculty was
rejected by the Regents, to
speak as part of the Talks and
Topics program.
Tom Lcnnquist, chairman cf
the Council, explained "the
mechanics cf getting a contract
with Davis and funds" would
take at least 30 days.
FSM member John Hansen
replied that in that time the
issue of the Davis case will
hr.ve lost its momentum.

anyone desiring graduate
assistantships next fall must
apply for them by March 1.
Applications without financial

The deadline for second
semester of the current school
year falls on January 1.
Fellowships, traineeships and
assistantships will not be
available for second semester,

In addition to the personal
information called for on the
application the student must
submit two college grade
transcripts and three recom
mendations. Bourke suggested the
recommendations come from
people "who can evaluate the
student's ability to carry on
graduate study and research."
The Graduate College does
not require an entrance ex
amination but several of the
degree-granting departments
do. In any case, Bourke said, a
Graduate Record Examination
score is an asset when apply

according to Hansen.
He noted that Davis would
be brought by a private group,
speak on a different topic than
that specified by the Council
and in a different situation.
"The Talks and Topics Com

bring him on student fees,"
Hansen added. "If this is not

Lonnquist remarked that he
realized the FSM wants Davis
on campus twice, but he feels
that the Union Council will ex

brings Davis.
He said, "Bringing Davis to
