Senators slip on usury talk
By Jim Zalewski
In light of the current tight economic and
money situation in the United States, Nebraska
citizens might expect their Legislature to discuss
matters such as usury rates with careful
attention.
However, anyone who heard the amendment
procedures at the Unicameral .Thursday on
LB349, which deals with interest charged on
loans, could hardly be impressed with the
senators" diligence.
Sens. Orval Keyes of Springfield and Ernest
Chambers of Omaha joined in opposition to
raising the rate above nine per cent.
Sen. John DeCamp of Neligh said penalty
rates were not adequate and later proposed an
amendment that would abolish the usury rate
and allow individuals to negotiate each loan
individually with bankers.
But between Chambers' Bible quotes and
DeCamp's questions about what television
camera was on, other senators seemed almost
disinterested.
Faculty, deans think so
It was not uncommon to see senators talking
with friends, reading" the paper or -walking
outside to stretch their legs.
One senator settled back comfortably in his
chair and did not move or open his eyes for 10
minutes.
. Several times when votes were taken on
nurnerous amendments to the bill, senators
would walk back to their seats, ask a senator,
"What's this?" and then push their voting
button.
When Lt. Gov. Gerald Whelan, as presiding
officer, did not agree with Keyes' argument, he
had Keyes' microphone turned off.
Senators could not even be persuaded to
return to their seats promptly for a roll call to
determine who was present.
One senator perhaps best summed up the
situation on the floor when he asked the senators
to cease their private discussions and
meanderings and to concentrate instead on the
amendments at hand which had economic
importance for the state's future.
Is dead week really dead?
Is dead week ever really dead?
Dick Gilbert, president of the UNL Faculty
Senate, said senate members have been reminding
department chairmen that exams cannot be given
during dead week, the week prior to final exam
week, without unanimous consent of the
students in each class.
The Faculty Senate approved the dead week
policy April 10, 1973. Gilbert said the senate is
not monitoring violations because they have no
power to enforce the policy. He said complaints
should be made to department chairmen.
The Faculty Senate also approved a policy
recommending that final exams be given during
the times and dates scheduled in the .class
schedule booklet. The policy went into effect in
October 1971.
The majority of UNL college deans don't
seem to think the dead week policy is being
violated.
Max Larsen, interim dean of the College of
Arts and Science, said he knows of very few
complaints about the dead week policy.
Larsen said if the majority of students in a
class want a test to be administered during dead
week, he doesn't see why the student or teacher
should be penalised if the test is taken then.
He said the only complaint he knows of came
from a student who had agreed to take a test
during dead week and then did poorly on the
test. Larsen said this student complained and said
a violation had occurred. The student, he said,
wanted to take the test over again.
Robert Egbert, dean of Teacher's College, said
the dead week policy never has been a problem,
and he said he doesn't think this year will be any
different.
Egbert said violations may occur that have not
been reported.
