ASUN action
disappoints vets
"This attitude is what's holding the veteran out of
the student body," said Steve Beadle, state president
of the Student Veterans Organization. He was
referring to attitudes like that of an ASUN senator at
Wednesday's meeting, who said that giving money to
student veterans would be showing favoritism toward
a militaristic organization.
"Veterans are students first and students last,"
Beadle said. He expressed disappointment over
ASUN's decision not to appropriate $300 to send five
organization members to a national conference.
Robert Taylor, UNL Student Veterans president,
said that he and Beadle still are planning on making
the trip to Phoenix, but the money probably will
come from their own pockets. The conference will be
next week.
Taylor explained the UNL could possibly receive
$300 for each student veteran enrolled under a
provision known as the Cranston Amendment. This
amendment was passed by Congress, but the allocated
money has been impounded by President Nixon, he
said. The Student Veterans Organization intends to
"put pressure on Washington" to release the money,
he said.
There are about 1,500 student veterans at UNL,
which would amount to an appropriation of
$450,000 according to Taylor. Of this amount, half
would go to the University to use as it saw tit and
half would go towards a veterans recruitment
program. Taylor said this program would consist of
contacting veterans across the state and informing

president Robert Taylor . . . said the organizations "plans to put
them about benefits they can gain by continuing their through
education. ASUN's
Taylor said he is hopeful the money will come that can
this fall. He said he also was disappointed at
decision. "There's not many organizations
offer the University $450,000," he said.
