UNL student organization officers say they are dissat
isfied with NU Board of Regent's subcommittee require
ments for students holding office in student organizations.
Hie four requirements, which are to be reviewed by
regents at their Feb. 18 meeting, would set minimum
standards for holding and seeking office at UNL, the Uni
versity of Nebraska Medical Center and the University
of Nebraska at Omaha.
Although Dave Roehr, former Union Board president
said he favors raising the standards,, he does not like
all the proposed requirements.
"I'm in favor of raising the standards," he said. "It
can only improve the quality of people belonging to the
organization."
Roehr said setting a 2. 9 minimum cumulative CPA
and requiring enrollment in at least two courses or for at
least six hours are liberal standards.
"If they cant meet these standards they probably
shouldn't be involved anyway," he said.
But Roehr does not like the requirement that a student
seeking or holding office has to have completed a mini
mum of 24 hours Credit because this eliminates freshmen.
"Freshmen should have the opportunity to participate
if they want to and are qualified," he said. He noted that
freshmen have made a valuable contribution to the Stu
dent Alumni Board this year.
Mike Gibson, president of the Residence Hall Associa
tion (RHA), agreed.
"Last year the president of Harper quit and we found a
freshman who was qualified to take the job. He did a great
job and was re-elected this year," said Gibson.
Gibson added that it was important to get freshmen
involved to carry on what is started.
Tt.j requirement for a majority vote gather than a
plurality vote also bothered Gibson. He said many re
sidence hall governments would need run-off (primary
and general) elections to get a majority.
ASUN President Greg Johnson also is concerned about
the majority plurality issue. -
Johnson said the run-off elections that would be neces
sary in some cases would be costly, a personal hardship
on the candidates and probably would lessen student
interest.
But he said his main argument is philosophical. "Hie
regents are placing restrictions on student government
putting a distance between the students and their govern
ment." Johnson also said there have been no problems in the
past, but ASUN has the means of keeping a check on
officers and may remove the president through impeach
ment or recall.
"Students should be solving their own problems,"
said Johnson. "There would be an outcry if the regents
said a faculty member had to be 30 years old or in good
standing with the administration to represent the faculty
on the Faculty Senate."
