The court, established by law in 1947 to handle labor management arbitration, for several years, the court heard few cases, according to Lincoln Sen. Roland Luedtke. In 1969 its powers were expanded to include media tion for state and local government employes, including teacher's salaries and benefits. The judges' salaries were the same as district court judges' for years, Luedtke said, but recent attempts to raise their salaries in line with district court judges failed. Finding qualified judges has been difficult considering the court's increasing workload, he said. Study to clarify AAUP, senate ties The UNL Faculty Senate, meeting Tuesday for the first time as an elected body, voted to form a committee to clarify the potential working relationship between the Senate and the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). UNL faculty members will vote Feb. 16 on whether or not to be represented by the AAUP as a collective bargain ing agent. Donald Haackv (Engineering and Technology) intro duced the resolution to establish the committee. He said the duties of the senate and the AAUP may overlap in certain areas, and that potential conflicts should be ex plained before the election. It was the senate's first meeting under new bylaws re quiring 53 elected senators to represent faculty members. Previously, any professor could attend the meetings and vote. Franklin E. Eldridge was reelected senate president, al though he said he may not be able to serve the full one year term. David McGill, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (IANR), was elected secretary. new executive committee, re- A lUltillU-Vi' tvt . - - placing the liaison committee, were taken.

CSL, HPC propose visitation 'option' By Liz Crumley A proposal recommending that 24-hour visitation in dormitories be allowed as a UNL housing option was passed by the Council on Student Life (CSL) and Housing Policy Committee (HPC) Tuesday night. The recommendation, one of six acted upon by both groups, was contained in a HPC task force report on differentiated housing. During CSL's discussion of the recommendation, ques tions were raised about added security, increased crime, and a lack of privacy. A number of schools have been contacted concerning their visitation policies and resulting problems, a housing office representative said. Most have cited increased crime and added security costs, he said. CSL member Carolyn Grice said she was worried about what she called an invasion of privacy the 24-hour visita tion might cause. New bills include broadcast plea Among bills introduced Monday in the Nebrasla Legis lature was LB828 by Sen. Richard Maresh of Milligan, which would allow the Nebraska Educational Television Commission to broadcast closed circuit transmission of sold-out NU home football games. The broadcast would be shown in the new fieldhouse. The bill provides for an advisory panel of the NU athletic director, the lieutenant governor and the director of the NETV commission to decide which games would be broadcast. Utica Sen. Douglas Bereuter introduced LB846, which would allow non-resident students to continue using out-of-state driver's licenses while attending Nebraska colleges and universities. Currently, non-resident students must obtain a Nebraska driver's license within 30 days. However she added that if CSL passed a recommenda tion increasing visitation hours, it was going to be the resi dents responsibility to try to make it work. CSL members Al Bennett and George Wolf said they voted for the proposal on principle. "This is not an abstract. right (24-hour visitation)," Wolf said. "The university ought to be offering students the rights and responsibility of adults, as an option." CSL member Steve Eggland agreed that if the option did not work, "it would become crystal clear" to the stu dents within one year. HPC and CSL also passed four recommendations which would retain current UNL housing policies and offer sup port for the housing office. Both groups passed a recommendation that "present coed and single sex living arrangement options be retained." Floors, units and wings These options include coeducational halls by alternat ing floors, single sex residence units and coeducational living in separate wings. The groups also passed a recommendation stating the four options now available concerning visitation be continued. These include no visitation hours, zero to eight hours per day, zero to 14 hours per day and a 24-hour visitation option open to graduate students. CSL defeated a recommendation, offered to HPC by Richard Armstrong, director of housing, which would give dormitory residents the option of having 24-hour visita tion in corridors and floor lounges. HPC had passed the proposal earlier. It would require a 75 per cent favorable vote by resi dents before the option would be enacted. CSL members voiced concern that students not wanting any visitation hours and contact with the opposite sex would be forced to by the majority. CSL will take action on remaining HPC proposals at their Thursday meeting. The recommendations then go to the UNL chancellor and then to the NU Board of Regents. na3 rjnnrjl Som!
