ASUN president Jim Say attended a conference of Big 8 student
government representatives Dec. 6 and 7 in Lawrence, Kan.
Survey reveals opinions
on dorm visitation, alcohol
By George Miller
ASUN executives attended two student
government workshops to discuss common
problems and ideas last weekend.
President Jim Say attended a meeting of
Big 8 student governments in Lawrence,
Kan., Dec. 6 and 7, and First Vice
President Paul Morrison attended the Belle
vue College Student Government Work
shop in Bellevue Dec. 6.
Say said seven Big 8 schools attended
the conference along with the University of
Minnesota (Twin Cities). Oklahoma State
University did not attend.
Say found that of all Big 8 student gov
ernments attending the conference, only
ASUN did not disperse student fees. He
said other Big 8 schools also are involved
in the appointment of faculty and in
tenure consideration for teachers. How
ever, only UNL has academic bankruptcy
option for students, he said.
Of the Big 8 schools, Nebraska is the
only one with a decentralized form of stu
dent government. He said that at other
schools, organizations Eke the Fees Allo
cation Board or the Council on Student
Life are committees of the student gov
ernment and not separate organizations as
they are at UNL.
The recall of six CSL members by the
student senate would not have caused a stir
at any other Big 8 school, he said.
ASUN appears to have one of the more
"open" student government bodie in the
Biff 8. Sav said. The University of Colorado
has only 20 student senators, 10 of them
appointed by the senators' colleges, Say
said. On the other hand, the University of
Missouri has a student senate numbering
240 students.
' The University of Minnesota proposed
formulation of a student information ex
change program among large colleges to
replace the National Students Association
(NSA), Say said.
Education issues cited
The representatives from Minnesoia said
the staff of the NSA was more interested in
lobbying for national political issues in
stead of issues relating to higher education,
according to Say. He said the Minnesota
representatives urged formation of the Stu
dent Association of State Universities and
Land Grant Colleges to compete with NSA
and to include only large universities.
Representatives of eight student govern
ment groups attended the Bellevue work
shop, Morrison said.
Morrison said the representatives dis
cussed student fees, faculty evaluations,
school newspapers and communications
between colleges.
He said that ASUN appears to have
good communications with students on
campus, compared to other schools at the
conference. He said it appeared that
schools with students living on campus had
better communication between the stu
dents and student government.
Postal hike to hurt UNL
By Betsie Amnions
Residence Hall Association (RHA)
representatives Thursday heard the tenta
tive results of a Differentiated Housing
Task Force survey to determine dorm resi
dent's opinions on housing at UNL.
Ray Walden, chairman of the RHA
Special Issues Committee and member of
the task force, reported their recommenda
tions to the council, based on the survey.
The task force stated that guest hours in
residence halls should remain the same,
with a 24-hour option currently given to
graduate students in Selleck Quadrangle
extended to other dorms, according to
Walden.
Walden said the task force believes al
coholic consumption in residence halls
should be legalized by the NU Board of
Regents, but be restricted to private use
in dorm rooms.
Permission of floor SA's would be re
quired to consume alcohol in floor lounges,
and the dorm Residence Directors would
have the option of whether to permit
alcohol at dorm functions in snack bars
and cafeterias.
The completed report will be distribu
ted to RHA representatives at the begin
ning of second semester, Walden said.
John Welch, chairman of the ASUN
Government Liaison Committee, spoke to
the group and asked for their aid in legal
izing alcohol on campus.
Welch said ASUN should have a state
senator to sponsor a bill recommending the
legalization to the Regents by next week.
He said past attempts to legalize alcohol
at UNL have failed due to opposition by
parents of students. He urged RHA repre
sentatives to speak to their parents about
the matter.
Mailing costs at UNL will jump almo&.
30 per cent as a result of the U.S. Postal
Service's rate hikes, effective Dec. 28. First
class will increase from 10 cents per ounce
to 13 cents. Other mailing rates also will
increase.
Ray Coffey, UNL assistant business
manager for business and finance, said the
price of mailing will increase about
$65,000 in 1976. The university sends
about one and one half million pieces of
mail yearly, he added.
Money for mailings comes from the part
of the Legislature's fund appropriation to
UNL designated for administration, Coffey
said. Provision for the mailing rate increase
has been included in the proposed 1976
budget which has been sent to the Legisla
ture, he said.
Coffey said this year's budget allocates
$184,072 for university mail, which in
cludes business and student mail.
Some departments within the univer
sity pay their own postage, such as the
Athletic Dept., University Press, and the
Extension Division, Coffey said.
He said the administration has been
"cutting down for the past five years" on
postage costs.
"WeVe been trying to identify particu
lar types of mailings," he said, to see
which we could use under the U.S. Postal
Service's bulk mailing rate."
However, he said most UNL mail is sent
first class, which does not qualify for bulk
rates.
Coffey said some mailings are consoli
dated, particularly student registration
information.
The UNL General Bulletin is an example,
he said. An application blank, is included
with the bulletin to eliminate the cost of
mailing them separately.
Costs of grade reports and of course
registration confirmations are "cut as close
to the .bone as can be," according to
Coffey.
