The Environmental Task Force has placed newsprint recycling barrels at various campus locations, according to chairman Bill Freudenburg. In cooperation with Burr Hall, the committee has purchased a device to crush cans for recycling. If the project is successful at Burr, Freudenburg said he plans to try it at other dormitories. Other Task Force projects include a study of the dormitory environment, an investigation of Nebraska's environmental laws and asking organizations (including ASUN) and University offices to purchase recycled paper. Freudenburg said there was a great deal of student interest in environmental causes, and indicated the only problem to date has been coordinating that interest. "I personally would like to have more people from business administration on the committee," he added. Freudenburg said he wants people from several disciplines working on the task force, including agriculture and engineering students. Behrooz Emam, Human Rights Committee chairman, said his committee is investigating the possibility of allowing foreign students to pay in-state tuition. The students currently pay out-state tuition. In cooperation with the Lettuce Boycott Committee, Human Rights is asking Greek houses to purchase union-picked lettuce. According to Emam, the Human Rights yearly budget has been cut from $6,000 to $500. Human Rights formerly allocated money to campus minority organizations. That function has now been given to the Student Organizations and Activities and Communications Committee. "One of our committee's biggest problems is trying to get input from minority students," Emam said. Human Rights would like to have representatives from every campus minority organization, he said, but only two minority students have attended the meetings. Karen Richardson, Communications Committee chairman, said her committee has organized the "open channels" program which began this week. "Open channels" arranges for ASUN senators to speak at dormitories and Greek houses. According to Frosty Anderson, chairman of the Legal Rights Committee, his committee is looking into hiring a student lawyer. Anderson said the committee has contacted several schools about the procedure for hiring a student lawyer. The committee has also asked Gail Gade, campus security chief, and ombudsman Jim Suter to try to assess the need for a student lawyer. Anderson said his committee also will be distributing tenants' rights booklets prepared last year. 'The committee works well together," Anderson said, "but we need new ideas. We're supposed to represent everybody in the University community, but we don't exactly know what all the problems are." The Legislative Liason Committee, according to chairman Bob O'Neal, has sent letters to dorm floors, Greek houses and co-ops, trying to arrange for state senators to speak there. Other Legislative Liason activities include asking ASUN senators and committee chairmen to submit ideas for legislation and arranging publicity for this week's campus voter registration drive. Center for Educational Change (CEC) is working to extend the drop period for courses to the end of the semester, according to chairman Dave Zeek. Courses can presently be dropped until the eighth week. Other CEC projects include establishing a policy for "dead week" (the week before finals). Zeek said that CEC wants no finals to be given during the last week of classes without consent of the class. CEC meets regularly with presidents of the advisory boards. The two groups are working to get UNL departments to publish course descriptions at their own expense, Zeek said. According to Pat Dyson, chairman of Student Services, his committee "is waiting to 'go' on the ASUN co-op." A member of the co-op's board of directors, Dyson said, "I hope everything's ready to go in about a month. .4,mmm -. - -.
