RHA tables motions
on alcohol, freshmen
By Ivy Harper
The Residence Hall Association (RHA) voted Thursday to table
a motion allowing alcohol in graduate dorms.
The members voted against the proposal after a talk by Ron
Clingenpcel, ASUN president and non-voting regent, in which he
said "It's not a matter of rights, it's a matter of politics. I don't like
it, but that's the way it is."
Clingenpee! suggested that if students want to liberalize
dormitory regulations, they should take their case to the people.
He said students can "talk the regents blue in the face," but it
won't do any good unless their constituents are behind it.
Clingenpeel s,aid if the Regents were confronted again this year
with liberalizing policies there "could be serious repercussions."
He said he objected to the timing of the proposal, not the
proposal itself.
Bringing the proposal up in mid-October would be a good time,
Clingenpeel said, because the Regents' agenda slackens then.
Glen Schumann, coordinator for residence hall administration,
said the housing office has decided "this is not a year to push for
alcohol."
In other business, RHA voted to accept a proposal to allow
residence hall floors to change their visitation hours after the first
semester.
After considerable disagreement over the wording in the
proposal, it was adopted and Clingenpeel was asked to bring it up
at the informal Regents meeting Friday night.
Another proposal given to Clingenpeel would extend visitation
hours from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., meaning floors with eight hour
visitation would increase to 10 hours and floors with 14 hour
visitation would get 16 hours.
A final proposal that the university enforce the regulation that
freshmen live on campus was tabled for revision until next week.
The proposal would not permit freshmen to break housing
contracts and move into Greek houses.
Disagreement over the language and some of the facts in the
proposal was brought up by Al Eveland, president of
Inter-Fraternity Council and Barb Henger, president of Panhellenic.
A task force member said the research was faulty because a
member of the task force was "anti-Greek."
. Ken Swerdlow, assistant director of housing, said that when the
task forces made up these proposals, they. did not expect them to
be brought before RHA and voted upon as motions.
UNL by-law changes
will affect fee board
By John Kalkowski
Of the $61 UNL students pay each semester for student fees,
$2.50 for the past two years has gone towards equipment for a
student union on East Campus which has not been built yet, Don
Wesley, Fees Allocation Board (FAB) member said Thursday.
During its meeting, the FAB discussed the amount of student
fees used by the Nebraska Union. According to Wesley, $19 of the
$61 for student fees has gone to operation and debt reduction for
the Nebraska Union.
Jim Lewis, FAB member, said a proposed change in the UNL
by-laws would give students the opinion that raising student fees
was "a foregone conclusion."
The proposal, to be heard by the NU Board of Regents at an
informal hearing today, empowers the FAB to recommend to the
chancellor the level of fees to be charged to students.
Although Wesley said students can expect an increase of $3.50
in the near future, he "added that the FAB should begin "a
belt-tightening operation."
The FAB also discussed possible changes in by-laws which could
effect itself.
A proposal which may be presented to the regents today, would
have FAB budget recommendations submitted to ASUN, which
could accept or veto the budget, and resubmit it to the board.
FAB member Wendell Gaugcr said the board had received no
official complaint from ASUN on its money-handling. He said the
change would be a "naked, political maneuver."
ASUN, which formerly handled part of the fees allocation, must
now come to the FAB like all other university organizations, Rich
Oney, FAB member, said.
He said the proposed change might be an effort to do away with
the one-year-old board before it becomes too established. .
