He said the patients had been transferred across the street from the medical center to Ckrkson Hospital in Omaha so that the 'doctors could be paid from state Hruska says Senate will approve S1 VS. Sen. Roman Hruska (R-Neb.), said Monday that a bill to consolidate the federal criminal code will be passed by the Senate this year. Hruska, speaking to UNL students at the Law College, said Senate BUI 1 (SI), the Criminal Justice Reform Act of 1975, is "a betterment of present laws." The 800-page bill, of which Hruska said 360 pages per tain directly to the criminal code, contains 80 per cent noncontroversial material, he said. Hruska added that controversial parts of the bill, es pecially provisions for the death penalty and the publica tion of classified information, probably will be eliminated by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is now working on SI. . " Paul Rothstein, Georgetown University law professor serving as a consultant to the Senate Judiciary Committee on SI, joined Hruska and told students the biQ is "more civil libertarian that present law." SI critics claim the bill will endanger First Amendment Constitutional rights of free speech and press. Civil liberty groups are opposing the bill because "it doesn't go far enough," Rothstein said. If it did go all the way, he added, "it wouldn't get through (Congress)." Hoard drops its res meal plan Union Advisory Board voted unanimously last week to "not accept any more free meals" from the Nebraska Union. H However, Union Board President Mike Shanahan noted the discontinuation of free meals applies only to the existing board and "does not set the policy for future boards." Earlier this year, the Fees Allocation Board (FAB) recommended the free meal practice be dis continued. It argued that Union Board was the only student board receiving this form of compensation. Furthermore, FAB policy forbids student fee money from being used for food, parties or trans portation for individuals, FAB contended. Union Director Allen Bennett said FAB would be informed of Union Board's decision. Ik said free meals had been a Union policy since 1938. "It was simply a matter of convenience," Bennett said. new student coalition "The goal of student governance should be the effective in volvement of students in the policy formulation and decision making processes of the institution. Perceived in this way. the range of experiences available to the students is limited only by the competence, vision and creativity of the students, faculty and administration."
