Grad students seek more interaction
By Lisa Brown
After starting slowly this fall, the Graduate Student
Association (GSA) is organizing to increase interaction
among graduate students, according to GSA President
Cassie Hergenrater.
GSA has scheduled an informal coffee hour for graduate
students Dec. 3 at 7:30 pjii. in the Nebraska Union. It also
is preparing a newsletter to be published later this month
and is drafting a response to Faculty Senate president
Franklin Eldrige's statement about graduate students made
at the Nov. 12 Faculty Senate meeting.
Eldridge said it has been his experience that first year
assistants and graduate assistants are the instructors most
likely to miss their classes.
There is little interaction among graduate students in dif
ferent departments, Hergenrater said, and it could help
graduate students to informally discuss problems en
countered in research and teaching.
The first coffee hour is to be at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 in the

The GSA discussed Eldridge's statement at its November
meeting and drafted a response. vo.k
Hergenrater said the association started slowly because
Keith Williams, the president-elect, resigned during ; the
summer and the position was not filled until October.
T?e GSArganked in the 1970-71 year, is not operated
under any other UNL organization. Each of the 63 depart
ments offering graduate degree programs send representa
tives to meetings. Any graduate student can attend and
vote.
Hergenrater said the organization is troubled by repre
sentatives that often are absent.
