Union
By Betsis Amnions
The ASUN Senate Wednesday night
approved three resolutions calling for
surveys to determine students' feelings
about the newly constructed Nebraska .
Union Bakery, the Union advertising
campaign, the proposed construction of
signs in the Union and a nearby parking
garage.
The decision was reached after an hour
of discussion between senators and Union
Director Allen Bennett on whether or not
the students have a voice in Union
improvements.
The resolutions, proposed by Graduate
College Sen. Frank Thompson, stated that
the Union should be "responsive to the
students' needs." Thompson contended
that Union improvement, paid for in part
by student fees, were made without con
sulting students.
The resolutions ask that letters be sent
to Chancellor Roy Young, Acting Vice
Chancellor Ron Gierhan, Bennett and the
Union Board.
Concerning the proposed $35, (XX) sign
construction, Bennett told the senate the
funds which had been in reserve since 1969
would be used to finance their construct
ion. He said the project was approved by
the Union Board.
"There is no organizational structure
which requires I advise with the Senate,"
he said. "As far as I'm concerned, the signs
will be installed."
He said the only way he would delay
sign construction was if the Senate took
the issue before the Union Board. Bidding
for sign construction is scheduled to begin
next week.
Bennett said he feels hi is responsible
to the administration, and that students do
have input through the Union Board.
Students have a voice about the parking
garage through a committee compiled by
Chancellor Roy Young to study the
garage's feasibility, Bennett said. He added
that he thinks garage construction would
be possible only if it supports itself. No
student fee increase will be required if it is
built, he said.
However, senators expressed concern
that the Union, funded in large part by stu
dent fees, is losing-money.
The December deficit from Union
operations is $32,612, Bennett reported.
He said the union income is "eroding
daily? which makes the advertising
campaign necessary to bring persons out
side the university into the Union.
Graduate Sen. Fred Kary told Bennett
he felt a line should be drawn between
asking the public to patronize the Union
and "commercializing" it.
Sen. McConnell quoted the Union
Board bylaws, which state the Union is a
"living room of the college" for use
primarily by students, faculty and the
administration.
Bennett countered that statement by
illustrating state law, which says since tax
money is used to support the Union, it is
a public institution.
The Senate also asked Bennett for a
financial report on the Union Bakery, and
an account of how it was approved.
In other business, the Senate approved
Organic Acts Four and Five calling for
more ASUN control of student fees
allocation.

Bond set for weekend suspects if bill
is spprov
If you happen to be arrested after 4
pjn. on a Friday and dont have access to
a judge who w21 set bond for you,, you
face- staying ""behind - bars" al weekend.'
Dnt If tS NsbTtlji Legislature approves
a bO biioduced by Omaha Sen. Larry
Siorsy, judges will find themselves on ceil
when court is out of session, Sioney told
the Legislature's Judiciary Committee
during a Monday hearing.
Currently, if the courts ha$e dossd,
a srpect "without ccsss - to a jsde
thrcrh an attorney," must stay in jail
until at feast the next working day, Stoney
said.
LB 111 seeks "to provide a uniform
bond setting plan," said Stoney, who
suggests a rotation schedule be used to
insure that a county and municipal judge
always is available in a county of at least
150 ,000 people.
Speaking for - the Crimiaal . Defense
Association in Omaha, attorney Paul E.
Watts said he knows of cases where the
suspect has spent from Saturday until
Tuesday or Wednesday in jail.

you, theyll wait until 4 pjn. to arrest
you," Watts said.
Adding that it is serious when an in
dividual spends an hour in jail, he accused
judges of making excuses instead of setting
bond.
I don't think they (judges) want to be
bothered on weekends," Watts said.

Opposing the bill, Judge William Ryan
spoke on behalf of municipal judges.

He called the matter a
issue and questionea tLs-wissi
granting a judge the authority to set bond
before a county attorney has set the
charge. ' - '
"There's a man in between in this pro
cess and it's not me," Ryan said.
lie aed what basis a judge should use
to set bond before a charge has been filed.
He told senators that to look through a
pclice report is "sticking my nose in a
place where it certainly doesn't belong."
Ryan said judges have agreed to refuse
to return to the court house and set bond
after hours. This agreement is an attempt
to eliminate discrimination, he said.
Omaha Sen. Ernest Chambers asked
why an individual arrested after 4 pjn.
should not have the same opportunities as
someone arrested 30 minutes earlier.

"We keep it equal," Ryan said., adding
that although the practice may be wrong,
it is "equsi." .... ; - ; .
He said be was most concerned about
Douglas County and Omaha, when asked if
the bil was intended jbr primary cities.

ment was 22,179.
Graduate and undergraduate

over second semester last year, but
professional school enrollment

The "new" fad reportedly sweeping the nation's cam
puses, does not seem to be new to UNL
The Associated Press reported last week that Michigan
State University students are among those around the
country photocopying their faces in libraries around
campus.
Desk workers at various UNL residence halls said they
have not seen people photocopying their faces, however
soxnesaM they had heard of iL.
Stephanie Hoover, who works at the Harper ILH desk,
said she has never seen anyone copying a face. The copy
machine is beside the Ifarper, desk.

She sail, however, that around Thar-krving someone
kft two copies of faces at the desk.
rey Nigra, a senior history and journalism major
from fkHsvue, w& sorneone asked her .Tuesday if she
wanted to photocopy her face.

said he did not think the process would work on any
machine other than Xerox.
Tests made on various campus copy machines showed
that the Xerox rnachine pve the highest contrast copy,
but Olivetti machines did an acceptable job.
The copy machines in the Nebraska Union basement
seemed to be unsatisfactory for copying faces.
Servicemen from several Lincoln copy machine com
panies said they did not think the light used to expose
the copy would hurt the student's eyes if the eyes are
closed.
They did not recommend . prolonged use, however.
Cathy Caird, who works at the Union bowling lanes,
said she saw four male students photocopying their faces
the day after the" Associated Press story ran in the Omsha
World-Herald. fLe said they didnt seem embarrassed.
They were having a good time, laughing," she said.
