Beecher:
local issues
take orioritv
by Jan Owens
"Students have started to find out they can't
be very successful on the national scene'
according to ASUN President Bruce Beecher.
Asked why this year's ASUN Senate has
passed so few resolutions dealing with issues of
national importance, Be&her said: "Nationally,
this seems to be happening on a lot of
campuses. Students are dealing more with local
elections and things that affect them from day
today."
The current 'ASUN Vwista has passed inly
two resofutkJtfif5IiH with only one national
issue-the boycott' of rsiirim ion grown lettuce.
One of the resolution asked ASUN to pressure
the University to stop buying non-union grown
lettuce.
In the second resolution, ASUN sanctioned
dormitory and housing units boycotting
non-union grown lettuce and urged the
purchase of only United Farm Workers lettuce.
' Last year's senate passed resolutions on at
least four national issues, including
endorsement of student involvement in regional
antiwar demonstrations- and a march to the
Nebraska State Capitol commemorating killings
during student demonstrations at Jackson State
and Kent State Universities.
The senate also passed a resolution
supporting Nebraska Congressman John
McCollister's proposal to grant amnesty to draft
evaders.
Another resolution introduced in the senate
urgsd all University students to boycott the
Lincoln Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks and the Fraternal Order of Eaes because
of what the resolution called racist
memberships.
Five years ago, the 1957-63 ASUN Senate
passed at least eight resolutions on national
issues four dealing with the Vietnam War and
the selective service system.
One encouraged students to participate in a
peace march honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
Another urged Nebraska congressmen to work
for immediate passage of the 1968 Civil Rights
Act
In contrast to the 1967-68 senate, the
1965-66 body passed only two resolutions
pertaining to national concerns.
One resolution encouraged students to
donate blood to the Red Cross for use by U.S.
servicemen. A second urged student support for
Air Force Week activities.
Noting a decline in student interest in
national concerns, Beecher cited last year's
proposed residence halls strike over the coed
visitation policy.
"All of a sudden, students turned away from
national issues and started trying to change the
policies in the residence halls," Beecher said.
What did the resolutions on national issues
accomplish?
"I really don't think they were effective at
all," Beecher said. "We're still in the (Vietnam)
war, and the lettuce boycott, at least in
Nebraska, hasn't really helped migrant workers.
"I think students can be more influential by
getting elected to city councils and county
offices," Beecher noted
