Students will be able to register their
approval or disapproval of the sale and use of
beer on the UNL campus when voting in the
ASUN election Wednesday.
According to ASUN President Steve Fowler,
the results from the vote could be viewed as an
indication of student opinion to both the
Legislature and to the Board of Regents.
The regents accep-fed a sim8ar referendum
concerning the PACE program last year. Fowler
said.
Fowler noted that under the existing laws
the regents have the authority to legalize the
possession and consumption of alcoholic
beverages on campus. He added legalizing the
use of alcoholic beverages on campus will
"take a long time to get through-like student
visitation." .
Legislative bill 1092 which was defeated
Feb. 28, would have legalized the sale and
con sumption of beer on campus. A motion to
postpone indefinitely, introduced by state
Senators Sam Klaver, Eugene Mahoney and
Harold Moylan, was passed by a vote of 30 to
1 2 with seven abstentions.
A! Bennett director of the Nebraska Union,
said the decision of whether or not to allow the
sale and consumption of beer in the Union
would have about as much impact as deciding
whether or not to serve iced tea.
There would not be any major impact
economically, sociologically or ecologically,
according to Bennett
Ron Burrus, director of East Campus Union,
said college students are adult enough to take
care of themselves and that he could not see
any "large difficulties" occurring if the sale of
beer on campus were legalized.

Amendment
questions,
.part-time
eligibility
"Concerning ASUN constitutional amendment relating to
qualifications of student government members-Approve,
' Disapprove."
This constitutional amendment, which would delete
"fulitime" from all eligibility requirements on the 1966 ASUN
constitution may not, itself, be eligible for a vote, according to
; ASUN Electoral Commissioner Ouane Sneddeker.
The amendment, introduced by Sen. Bruce Beecher, will
guarantee erasure of the 12-credit hour requirement to
participate in the senate, in case the new const itutkxv-that
includes deletion of the 1 2-hour requirement-fails.
Jbe Council on Student Life (CSL) last semester reversed a
long-time University regulation that said only students
carrying 12 hours or more of college credit could participate in
student organizations.
CSL ruled each organization could determine its own
requirements.
Sneddeker said a Friday Student Court ruling has cast
doubt on the validity of the constitutional amendment.
University students Terry Brave and Dennis Confer brought
a case to the court against the ASUN electoral commission,
questioning the validity of including the new constitution on
this spring's ballot
It was not published three weeks before the election, they
said, as the old constitution stipulated it had to be.
Brave and Confer lost the case, because the court said the
rule stipulated only "constitutional amendments", so did not
include entire constitutions.
So the constitution is secure, Sneddker said, but not the
amendment concerning senatorial qualifications, since it was
published at the same times as the proposed constitution.
Sneddeker said he's unsure about the amendment's future;
it will be discussed at the regular Tuesday meeting of the
six-member electoral commission.
If the amendment stays on the ballot and passes, Sneddeker
said it would become effective immediately.
