PACE chairman...Steve Fowler argues before the Regents for the PACE proposal. ents delay PACE Meg by DAVE BRINK Staff Writer A final decision on the use of student fees for low-income scholarships has been postponed until the March of the Board of yr EBBS IW PMIMJU11W meeting Regents. Board members did not question the need for funds and appeared to support the use of student fees to obtain them. The majority thought, however, that they needed more time to decide between the two programs offered: Program for Active Commitment to Education (PACE) and the "Voegler Proposal." Six student leaders, led by ASUN President Steve Tiwald, presented PACE to the Regents. The overwhelmingly pro-PACI audience, more than 200 strong, applauded each speaker. Regent James Moylan of Omaha, noting the crowd support, suggested that PACE should work on a "voluntary ba's" instead of the proposed mandatory fee-with-refund option. He also said it might "open up the gate" to further use of student fees. The decision of the PACE committee to avoid a student referendum was criticized by Regent Robert Prokop. "If you have a clear mandate from students as it appears from the crowd", he said, "you should have no trouble getting a madate through a referendum."

Voegler attacked the "intimidating" features of PACE'S refund plan; Egger questioned its legality, and Wimmer characterized the PACE petition campaign as an "arm-twisting" drive. According to Wimmer the PACE proposal is not a voluntary program. "I don't think the members of the PACE Committee have fooled any member of the Board ot Regents," he exlaimed. The Board decided to appoint two Regents to work with the opposing groups and develop a plan by the March 6 Regents meeting. Most members seemed to agree with Regent Robert Koefoot of Grand Island that there was no question the program was good. The question, Koeloot stated, is whether or not it should be voluntary. Hansen, the only Regent voting against the delay, said PACE appeared to raise the most monej while protecting the student's rights. He advocated an immediate decision on the plan. Both Voegler and PACE chairman Steve Fowler said they were satisfied with the compromise. 2:30 p.m. - Black History Week "Quincy Troop", Nebraska Union 3:30 p.m. - Jazz and Java, Union 4 p. m. - Union-World in Revolution, Union 4 p.m.- Tassels, Union 6 m. - Towne Club, Union 7 p. m. - Unicorns, Union 7:30 p.m. - Prayer and Praise Group , Union 8 p.m. - Black History Week Play, "The Happy Ending", Union.
