    Attendance causes
conference changes
by Adella Wacker
Although this year's Nebraska Union conference will not
explore the World in Revolution, "something will exist,"
according to Assistant Union Program Director Art Thompson.
The Union Program Council decided last spring after the
Marten 6-13 World in Revolution Conference on Justice in
America that the week-long format would be dropped.
Funding for the conference has been cut by more than half.
' Thompson stressed that the decision to change the title and
cut funds "was not a direct reflection on that conference last
year."
At the same time, Thompson said he felt that "no one's
ever said it," but the conference outcome reinforced feelings
that the World in Revolution format was not the most
workable.
"It's hard to sustain interest for a week," he said.
That decision was based somewhat upon the number of
students who listened to last year's keynote speakers, he said,
adding that some sessions drew only about 50 persons.
Jerry Rubin, co-founder of the Youth International Party
(Yippie), probably drew the largest crowd and that was not
phenomenal, he said.
Speakers who might have drawn crowds, didn't show,
Thompson said, referring to attorney William Kunstler.
Some felt the amount of money spent on the conference
wasn't justified by the attendence, he said.
On the other hand, some of the participants felt that the
week was idealogically and philosophically successful, he
added.
The fact is, Thompson said, that the conference has used
the same format the past four years and attendance has
continually dropped. Last year's conference coagulated
feelings that a change to not-so-definitive a title was needed,
he reported.
Ideally, he said, World in Revolution should be able to
include anything from sports to breadmaking. But to some, he
said, it's an inflammatory title which generates scenes of
violence and protest.
"We didn't see any reason to battle over titles," he said.
Thompson stressed that the conference was not "buried
alive" and that no outside pressure affected the council's
decision.
However, he did reflect that the year might have been
different if it hadGfcdlowed the controversial ASUN Time
Out conference ifr ( frtofc&f
That conferencewhich-xplored human sexuality, included
two homosexual couples and stirred reactions against it from
some University Regfnts and students. Injunctions were
sought to stop the xnnfprpnce.
Preliminary, reports on the yet unreleased ASUN budget
indicate no funds will be included for a Time Out conference
this year.
