First there was PACE. Then came STOPACE. Now a third idea, a com promise proposal for providing scholarships lor needy University of Nebraska students, has emerged. "I think It's a good idea that something caa be done for needy students," Yen a g Republican National Com mitteeman Dong Voegler said, "but I don't think it should be mandatory." The alternative to PACE, (Program of Active Commit ment to Education), which Voegler said has been sug gested in the past, calls for a space to be provided on the registration form allowing students to voluntarily and confidentially add the $3.50 fee to their tuition bill. The fund is to be distributed under the established guidelines of the Office of Scholarships and , Financial Aids. "We are hearing on campus that we must sign either the PACE or the STOPACE peti tion, which gives the im pression that there is no com mon ground between the two. The positions of some also tend to oversimplify the matter into two extremes either being for brotherhood and helping your fellow man or not. Both of these impressions are wrong. "For the person who cannot siga the PACE proposal, because evea though he ag- grees w ;he PACE concept he finds the proposed machinery sketchy and changeable; and for the person who canuot sign the STOP PACE proposal without feeling that he is somehow forsaking his duty to better society I be lieve this compromise between students contribute, over $30,000 a year could be raised), 5( time, effort and money will be saved because the established machinery of the administration will be used. PACE chairman Steve Fowler said the Voegler alternative of $30,000, Instead of Proposal offers voluntary funding the two will mnke all parties Involved happy and still be ibe moral and Just thing to do." According to Voegler the PACE-STOP ACE conflict hinges on two issues: first,- how the funds are to be distributed, and second, whether contribu tions are voluntary or man datory. Voegler lists five advantages he believes his alternative of fers: 1( students will have a definite time and method to decide, 2( the action is volun tary, 3( the money will be available to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aids soon enough to be ef fective before the semester begins, 4( the popularity of PACE insures substantial con tributions (Vo;gler estimates that if 20 per cent of the PACE'S $135,000, Is "inade quate for the need." He said there are already too many registration forms to fill out, and the addition easily could be lost or Ignored. He added that freshmen from out of town, registering for the first time, would be inadequately Inform ed of the Issue. "Voegler's plan, by adding an extra form to registration, will take more time and effort than PACE. Bill Arfmann, AS UN Human Rights Committee chairman, said the alternative proposal is not nearly as effective an argument for financial help from outside sources as PACE. "If the student body shows widespread support for PACE," he said, "then this is much more effective man a charity donation. Tom Cardwell, an organizer of STOPACE, said he backs Voegler's idea, although be views it as an alternative to PACE, not a compromise between PACE and STOPACE. "I think Voegler's proposal is a good one. It takes care of both parts of the argument against PACE. Our petitions are only to stop the involuntary part of the PACE proposal, and it's still valid to sign the STOPACE petition. "I find the statement that Voegler's alternative is 'inade quate' very strange. Voegler's plan will raise money if PACE has the supporters Fowler thinks it has. What PACE is saying, then, is that they can get more money by coercion of students than they can get by voluntary contributions." Bloodmobile to arrive on campus The annual Red Cross Bloodmobile will be on campus Tuesday, according to Red Cross publicity chairman Sue Wood. The goal of the program is 200 pints of blood. Students in terested in giving blood can sign up through their living unit health aides. The Bloodmobile will be at the Nebraska Union from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., she said.
