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

Super Fare at Superfair

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.
Federal fundi arc being sought, Clingenpeel said.
