The Nebraska Legislature's Education Committee voted late
Tuesday to hold Kearney Sen. Gerald Stromer's bill calling for
the elimination of state aid to college and universities utilizing
mandatory student fees.
If passed, Stromer's measure would force institutions to
abandon collection of such fees.
Many legislative observers speculated the 6-1 vote to hold
LB 1271 as an attempt by committee members to intimidate
the University of Nebraska and encourage the regents and
administration to deal with the matter themselves.
Senators have shown concern over speakers and conferences
which have been at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and in
the upcoming World in Revolution Conference. .
At the committee's public hearing Monday, Stromer called
student fees "ambiguous." He questioned whether students
should be forced to support newspapers, speakers and
conferences which they disagree with.
"Freedom of expression must also protect the minority,"
Stromer said. "True freedom of speech" would be
accomplished, he said, if mandatory fees were dropped.
"The boards (of control) have been approached-no
action," Stromer charged. "When other agencies fail it is left
to legislation."
Merk Hobson, University of Nebraska executive vice
president for academic affairs, said if LB 1271 were passed it
could mean $96 million worth of bonds would be lost by
default.
"Legally the board is locked in to payment of bonds by
student fees," Hobson told the committee. Student health
facilities, Nebraska Union and dormitories have been financed
by the issuance of bonds.
John Braeman, NU history professor, urged that the
Legislature stop mandatory fee collections.
The Daily Nebraskan also came under attack again with
David Beauregard, English professor, calling it
"liberal-to-radical."
"Student journalists are responsible to no one," he claimed.
Ralph Larson, NU law student asked senators to protect
and preserve the first amendment by passing the bill.
"This bill is big business on the University campus," Larson
charged in reference to the amount collected annually in
student fees.
Larson also called student government "a farce." He was
joined by others who said "ASUN does not touch students
significantly" and "it's government where none is needed."

Terry Cannon, state chairman of Young Americans for
Freedom also spoke for the bill.
President D.B. Varner told committee members that he felt
"students would vote overwhelmingly to support student
fees."
According to Varner, student government, union board
programs and the newspaper amount to only 10 per cent of
the student fee total at the Lincoln campus.
"Newspapers should be independent," Varner said. "I don't
think they would survive without the present subsidy at this
time, however."
Responding to Sen. Duke Snyder's question whether the
Daily Nebraskan hold a monopoly on newspapers, Varner said,
"The World Herald occupies about that spot in Omaha."
Varner's comment that he had not known of a more
"responsible student newspaper" than those on the UNL and
UNO campus brought some laughter from the audience.
Since Stromer was the introducer of the bill, he was
permitted to speak last. Sen. Donald Elrod, committee
chairman from Grand Island, asked Stromer if members of
Young Republicans, of which he is state president, receive a
newspaper as part of their dues. Stromer replied that they do.
'Y' faces
Profits from the Student YWCA International Bazaar in
December were only enough to cover the cost of merchandise
stolen during the three-day sale, according to YWCA Faculty
Adviser Twig Daniels.
She called the $5,000 loss-which left the organization's
budget $2,000 in the red-"extremely frustrating" after the
amount of work done to put on the bazaar.
Daniels said this will be a "make it or break it" semester for
the Student Y since Student Activities has informed the
group's executives they cannot continue the organization's
account without assurance the debt will be paid and funds will
be available for the estimated $3,000 the "Y" needs to
operate another year.
Another gloomy prospect, Daniels said, is spending a year
making money instead of being able to continue the "Ys"
projects.
A PAULIST DOESN'T
WAIT TO CE
ORDAINED
TO GET
INVOLVED.
If you think
that ordination
is something
like graduation
and the time
in between is
similar to marking time then
you couldn't be more mistaken.
The Paulists were founded
with the belief that each man is
a member of the community and
he contributes his own thing.
Each is an individual with his
own talents and he is given the
freedom to use them in his own
way. But not later. Now.
For instance, during the no
vitiate, novices work in such
diverse areas as hospitals, voca
tional rehabilitation centers and
Universities. They serve as assist
ant chaplains, co-retreat masters,
student teachers and psychiatric
aides.
Paulist Seminarians create
recreational programs, direct
"Days of Recollection" for CCD
students, direct film series, ex
periment with the use of media
in the liturgy as a preaching tool,
originate and edit the Paulist
Free Press, coordinate Lenten
lectures and organize Home
Masses, to mention just a few.
When you commit yourself to
the Paulists, it isn't a someday
thing. It's now. Today.
For more information about
the Paulists write to: Rev. Don
ald C. Campbell, C.S.P., Voca
tion Director, Room 300.

for Christ!
, Milan Haimovici
Lutheran pastor Milan Haimc
vici spent eight years in Ro
manian jails passing through
indescribable tortures. The
Communists placed him bare

savagely beaten in the groin
and made to empty barrels
filled with the human waste of
thousands of prisoners with his
own hands. However, his faith
withstood all these trials. Even
Communist officers as they
spoke later about it. were filled
with such respect that they
took off their hats when speak
ing about this living saint.
Thousands of Christian pris
oners died in Romanian Com
munist jails. A complete ac
count of their courageous faith
and srfand for the Lord is con
tained in the book TORTURED
FOR CHRIST, by Rev. Richard
Wurmbrand, a bestseller in 25

of our persecuted brethren
behind the Iron and Bamboo
Curtains.
