Regents
postpone
lawyer
approval
By Susanne Schafer
Because of what ASUN legal rights committee chairman
Jed Buechler termed "a breakdown in communication
between the regents and administration," UNL students
won't see their lawyer for at least another month.
At an informal regents meeting last Thursday evening,
Regent Edward Schwartzkopf objected to accepting the
ASUN recommendation of the law firm of Hamilton and
German for the student lawyer position.
"I do not object to the principle of the student lawyer,"
Schwartzkopf said in an interview Tuesday, "I objected to
the procedure of the recommendation."
He said the regents were presented with the names and
resumes of the lawyers but not with any background
information, on who else was considered, and what the
rationale behind the choice was.
He said he was interested in seeing "who else applied for
the position."
If he is supplied with that information, Schwartzkopf
said he sees no problem in having the recommendation
approved at the next regents meeting.
Buechler, who presented the recommendation ot the
interviewing committee, said he was unprepared at the
Thursday meeting to give the regents the information asked
for.
Buechler said he had been assured by Ely Meyerson,
dean of administration of student affairs, that all he needed
to present to the regents was the name of the recommended
lawyers, their resumes, and the criteria the committee used
in making the choice.
Buechler said he thought the regents should have had no
problem understanding the criteria for the committee's
choice, since it was stated in a cover letter, explaining why
the committee chose the firm of Hamilton and German.
Buechler said he was "not too terribly upset" by the
regents' failure to act on the nomination. He said he plans
to meet with Chancellor James Zumberge and Ken Bader,
vice-chancellor for student affairs, later this week to decide
on what additional information to supply to the regents.

ASUN Senate votes
to join dorm lawsuit
On a 20-1-1 vote, with Sen. Deb Coe voting in opposition, the.
ASUN Senate Wednesday evening voted to join in a law suit as
co-plaintiffs with the Residence Hall Association against NU
concerning visitation policies.
The senators voted to go into executive session to discuss the
contents of the lawsuit before passing the resolution.
The senators suspended the rules to vote on the proposal. It
was introduced Wednesday evening rather than on Monday as the
rules require.
The proposal was introduced by Sen. Gail Watson.
Senators questioned whether additional advice from a lawyer
was needed before entering a suit, whether ASUN as a student
organization could sue the university and asked when ASUN '
should join in the suit.
Watson said she did not know when the suit would be filed.
She suggested to ASUN, that since it is a representative body of
university students that "it is up to us" to join in the suit. But she
said it was not a necessity.
Sen. Marguarite Boslaugh said "this is our chance to be
student advocates and to do it visibly." Sen. Brian Wade
questioned how ASUN was to pay for the suit.
First Vice President Mark Hoeger said ASUN and RHA will be
required to pay only court costs. Second Vice President Sue
Overing said the funds will come from non-student fee accounts.
A number of students will be named individually in the suit as
plaintiffs so that individuals besides organizations will be filing
the suit, Sen. Watson explained.
Whole NU Catalog
distribution begins
University education is strange stuff, one publication muses,
"but careful course selection is one very potent method of
controlling education."
So begins the first issue of the Whole NU Catalog, distribution
of which began Wednesday.
The eight-page tabloid contains a collection of 80 subjective
course recommendations written by students for students. Course
registration for second semester also began Wednesday.
Contributing to the booklet were 54 students, including one
named El Cid. Listed are 34 departments, from accounting to
zoology. Occasional drawings spice the pages, the major handicap
of which seems to be type shrunken a bit too much.
According to Marty Winkler, who with Doug Blomgren was
instrumental in preparing the catalog, distribution sites include
the north entrance of the Nebraska Union, the East Campus
Union and areas adjacent to dormitory switchboards.
Vernon Williams, director of the Counseling Center, also
helped assimilate data that making up the catalog.
"We received more than 100 course descriptions and are
elated with this response to our request for material," Williams
said.
"We feel we have a desirable sample of student attitudes about
their outstanding classes. Still, we would like to see twice as many
(recommendations) published in the future."
Students' comments in the catalog are not all strictly
academic. One instructor was described as "good, witty, likes
girls..." Another student advised his fellow acaclcmians to sit in
the back of the room, because the professor whose course he
recommended "smokes cigars."
