.J. ASUN hears PACE, STOPACE alternative ASUN had to go into overtime Wednesday as ex tensive debate on resolutions and senate elections forced the meeting well past the legal 6:15 p.m. deadline. A resolution offered last week by Sen. Bruce Wimmer recommending an alternative to the PACE proposal was again tabled. The Senate decided to withhold a decision until after the PACE petition drive is completed. Doug Voegier, the University student who wrote the resolu tion, presented his position and answered questions from the senators. He claimed his pro posal would preserve the "idealistic commitment" of PACE while at the same time give students an opportunity to choose how their money will be used. His resolution calls for voluntary allocations to a low income scholarship fund. "One of the basic tenets of this society is that nobody has to do anything he doesn't want to," Voegler stated. He asked ASUN for $50 to enable him to conduct a survey of campus opinion on his resolution. He also invited PACE and STOPACE representatives to meet him in a three-way discussion of the issue. After lengthy arguments in support of favorite candidates ASUN selected Bill Behmer as the new senator from Engineering and Architecture. Among the four applicants was Bob Vlasak, president of the Committee for Undisrupted Education. The Senate heard a report on ASUN's investigation of the Michael Davis case. Speaker pro-tem Tim Kincaid and Sen. David Ratliff made a trip to Ann Arbor, Mich, to study facts behind the case.

His resolution noted that Student Action Front is a student organization which needs money to carry on its volunteer work. The resolution was automatically tabled for a week's consideration. Four new student organiza tions were approved by ASUN. Janene Svoboda of the ASUN Constitutional Committee reported that approval of some - organizations has been delayed because of legal problems with their constitutions. Among these is the Free Speech Movement. Svoboda said her committee was studying the Movement's membership policy. She said the delays would probably be tem porary. The project to have living unit residents skip a meal in support of the Pakistan Relief Fund has had a ' "very favorable' response according to Sen. Wimmer. Wimmer said the target date for the skip is January 7 In the dormitories. He added that the Fund would receive about 60-70 cents for each dormitory meal and $1 for Greek dinners.

Get ready educational reform ASUN is coming ASUN released a paper outlining a philosophy of education Wednesday 23 pages worth which might help revive student interest in educational reform that has been waning since the New University idea of last May. The paper outlined four basic principles which should guide undergraduate education at NU focusing education on the individual stadent, minimizing pressures that thwart the seeking of self-knowledge, developing Independence In learning and removing narrow professional orientations of . both faculty and students. ASUN President Steve Tiwald said Wednesday that ASUN has been studying possible reform in the areas of curriculum, registration and grading. The paper is intended to form the basis for educa tional reform recommenda tions. Student Interest in educa tional reform has declined since last May when an all University town hall meeting passed a resolution requesting the University faculty to "work for the creation of a New University of Nebraska." The new University Idea came about because of a desire to make the University more relevant to the world's problems. The paper, written by Tiwald in conjunction with the ASUN Education Committee Center for Educational Change, stated "too often education is keyed to a pattern based on a supposed 'average but actually suited to very few individual students." Self-examination, the paper stated, should be a primary goal of a student's college ex perience. But it was noted the general environment of a university can hinder self-examination. "For example, if rules Im pose a strict or regimented form of behavior, they would not allow for the individual manifestations of self-realization and might well encourage rebellion and misconduct." , The ASUN paper also - stated: With the enormous increase in the amount of knowledge available, it is more important to present students "not knowledge but tools to deal with various kinds of knowledge." "Narrow professionalism is among the strongest pressures driving students toward the future and not leaving them time to consider the present, to seek self-knowledge. Students are forced to justify everything in their education in terms of the relation to a future profession." &000Q000C00090009000C0000009C0000 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o YOUR UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA Ring Night TONIGHT 3 p.m. - 8 p.m. i A great Christmas Ciftt tee ncosrjnci mm CAMPUS BOOKSTORE 1245 R Street Lincoln, Nebraska GC5C3 O O o o o e o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o 3oOCOOOGOOO$OOOOOOOdOOOOOOOOOOOOoS ooouoooooooooooooogc o o 3 o o o o o o o o o o o o o e o o o o o o o Friday 2:30-5:30 with fflIHMDKIERr w J ta J ijl JLJ.JLL jj.
