Pardon my cynicism, but I don't
see much point in writing this
column. By this time in the political v.
season, most people have their,
minds set .sbout Jho -' general
election on Tuesday. .
Most who read this would gain
nothing from a discussion of ),
candidates, because young people
are notoriously apathetic about-,
voting. - '
Amendment Fia, 1 . ; "4-.; ,'
The issue on the general election
ballot which most directly affects
students is Constitutional Amend- ,.
ment No. 1. It would install the
student body presidents of the ;
three NU campuses on the Board of
Regents as nonvoting members
Although ASUN and other sup
porters of this amendment prob
ably mean well, It should be
tafeated.
We need reform, hot tokenism.
Passage of the student-regent law
will close an issue which barely has
tsen opened restructuring power
at the University.
The regents have full control of
NU government, within the con
fines of authority granted it by the
Legislature. They can control any
aspect of University life and
operations they want. They can
construct a classroom building and
determine what will be taught
inside. They can build a dormitory
and: control the private lives of
students living there.
... Governing isomdn ei ?'
i Democracy Implies that the
electorate governs itself by choos
ing represntatlvBS. However,
the Board of Regents Is a body
chosen by the electorate to govern
somebody elsfi the students.
Granted, the people of Nebraska
have an Interest In th8 University
because it is partially tax-supported.
But that Interest ends when
they no longer are affected by a
decision made In the University's
operation. Such decisions should
be made by the people whom they
affect, not by the regents.
Personal Ufa control
Whom dormitory students as
sociate with at what hours does not ;
affect the people of this state. .
Students' personal lives therefore
should nottos-withln th domain of
regent controi. But they are.
So the real Issue Is limiting the
regent's power.
The" legislature can do this. It can
limit the regents to a general rose
in operating the University and
leave the specifics to students,
faculty and administration. Our
lobbying efforts must turn there.
Wasting energy
We are wasting our energy on
divisions such as the student re
gent bill. True reform should be
. hpurpoal. . .. ... ;
If the student regent amend
ment passes, the current power
structure will become more en
trenched than ever. We will have
deceived ourselves into accepting
an ineffective mockery of self-government.
Three campus politicians without
voting power can do more than beg
big daddy regent for candy to keep
them quet. Meanwhile, self-determination
falls by the wayside.
Our brightest hope for reform
came last year when ASUN and
.RHA filed a lawsuit against the
regents to stop their violations of
dormitory students' censtitutfenaf
rights, '...'-V; "
Unfortunately, the leaders cf
those organizations grasped at the
token held out to them when
visiting hours were extended. They
- lost sight of the central issue and
dropped the suit. We can't afford
to lose our way again.
' I encourage you to vote against
Amendment No. 1. Then write a
letter to your state senator to
explain your vote.
