dau friday, august 31, 1973 lincoln, nebraska vol. 97, no. 3 V . Hansen to offer visitation proposal Regent Kermit Hansen said Thursday night he would introduce a resolution at Friday's Board of Regents meeting to expand Saturday coed visitation privileges. His statement came during a meeting of regents and student representatives. Regent Robert Koefoot said he had been made aware of the proposal, but had hoped it could be discussed prior to any publicity. The Daily Nebraskan reported Thursday a resolution was scheduled to be quietly introduced in addition to the board's regular agenda. "There is no official proposal (on the agenda), but I intend to bring it up," Hansen said. Hansen's proposal would increase the present maximum six hours of visitation on Saturdays to 12 hours. ASUN President Ann Henry noted that Saturdays are traditionally a day when relatives come to Lincoln and visit students. The present limit of six hours often serves as a hardship for students and relatives, she said. Koefoot expressed concern the proposal might serve as the "foot in the door" for students to seek even broader visitation hours. Hansen said he was unsure how the board would react to his proposal. "I think it should stand on its merits," he said. On another topic, the board appeared ready to approve an ASUN proposal for a student legal aid service. Regent Robert Prokop initially expressed concern the proposal might not meet legal ethics. He was then assured the board's legal counsel, Flavel Wright, had concluded it was ethically sound. "If he's in that position I see no objection," Prokop said. A student representative from the University of Nebraska at Omaha pointed out to board members that although tuition rates have been increased, the amount of money in the regents scholarship program has remained the same. Apparently due to this fact, it has been necessary to cut the number of regents scholarships. Regent Edward Schwartzkopf questioned whether it wasn't time to examine the entire regents scholarship program. D.B. Varner, NU president, said the cutback in scholarship funds is especially critical on the UNL campus. He said there has been a $750,000 reduction in the amount of money to be used for scholarships on the Lincoln campus alone. Varner said an attempt is being made to find the number of students in "genuine financial distress." A considerable amount of Thursday evening's meeting was devoted to the discussion of improved classroom instruction. Mark Hoeger, ASUN first vice president, said he doubted the classroom atmosphere is "conducive to learning." "If I weren't involved in student government, I'd probably transfer," Hoeger told the regents. Henry noted that instructional fund cutbacks have seriously limited the number of animals for biological study. Koefoot discounted Hoeger's statements that many students were unhappy with the quality of education at NU. "I think the majority of students at this institution are happy," Koefoot said. Hansen said one method of improving education would be the evaluation of instructors by students. He added that he intended on spending the rest of his term instituting an evaluation system. "I'm going to get it one way or the other," Hansen pledged. The Omaha regent said he felt students wer ? the best judge of instructors. Following the discussion, Varner said he was glad to see students concerned with their education. "I've long awaited the day you wanted to improve the quality of instruction," he told the student representatives J7 V""" 1 I Ji i KM ,iw w -wr-v .-sir" Super Fare at Superfair Y r " f " ( r ' 1 ' ' W7. One thing students look forward to each fall, besides football qames, is the State Fair. This year the Fair has been expanded to ten days and includes not only the Labor Day weekend but also runs through the following Sunday. , Unless they really are turned on by standing in lines on campus, students probably will want to avoid the Fair on what has been billed as Super Saturday, Sept. 8. The day will be a rare combination of events which includes the first Nebraska home game and probably an equally largo fair crowd.

Buyers aid available Seeking to help student consumers this fall is a new UNL organization dealing specifically with student buying problems. The Consumer Aids Group (CAG) was developed because of the number of complaints to UNL Ombudsman James Suter and the Office of Student Affairs concerning such consumer problems as unethical job interviews and apartment lease contracts, according to Ron Clingenpeel, CAG developer. Clingenpeel said the group essentially will be a "self help educational unit." According to CAG Director Mike Gross, CAG goals include a library of consumerism literature and a counseling service for members of the University community dealing with any problems in the consumer area. In organizing CAG, Clingenpeel fir:t wrote a letter to students and faculty asking for help in establishing the you p. A budget wa drawn up and ASUN contributed $200.
