The court also specified that undeclared students should be assign ed to other colleges instead of becoming a separate college. Second vice president Ken Christoffer sen speculated the undeclared students could end up in the College of Arts and Sciences,, but feared that this would make the college too powerful. The students will be assigned to a college Tuesday night during the reapportioning meeting of the , Electoral Commission. The senate unanimously approved the revised regulations for the spring student elections after passing a formal amendment to create a new polling site. ine revisions state that student voting infractions will be punished by disciplin ary pronation instead ot a tine . Active camnaienine. including election .... . . p posters, will be prohibited in Voting build ings on election day. Also, parties must have written permission from a majority of Block conference in Missouri the previous year's party members who are still eligible voters to use the same party name. A new polling site will be added to pre sent polls at Nebraska Hall and the Cast and Nebraska unions to attract more voters. Christoffersen estimated the new site would cost $200 and be paid front the ASUN contingency fund. Hamilton Hall was suggested as a possible location, but the final decision will be made by the Electoral Commission. . . The senate also unanimously passed a position paper opposing the Board of Re gents academic affairs subcommittee pro posal requiring a majority vote to elect student officers. President Greg Johnson emphasized that the proposal probably would make run-off elections necessary, which would be expensive and time con suming. In other business, Sue Ellis and Sara Leroy were appointed to the teaching council. The council allocates UNL grant money to research projects. Christoffersen also noted that although ASUN elections are foUr weeks away no one has filed jbr any offices. Campus life to be discussed By Rod Murphy Financial and academic problems of blacks, the need for more black profes sors and the role of black athletes in student government will be among topics discussed by UNL students at the first Big Eight conference on black student govern ment. . . u. About 20 UNL students will attend the conference, in Columbia, Mo., Feb. 24-25, according to Mark Jones, head of the Afro American Collegiate Society, a black stu dent government at UNL Jones said, he hoped the conference would provide" the basis for a permanent Big Eight council of black students govern ments which would meet on a regular basis. This council, if it is formed, would be "organized to play a leadership rote to help coordinate black student government ac tivities and programs, Jones said. One specific problem the UNL students intend to discuss in Columbia will be the financial problems that black college Stu dents face. , l. Black generally are m i lower income bracket to begui with, Jones said, tn addi tion to this there is a lack of communica tion with financial aid offices, he said. Another problem to be discussed is the lack of black faculty members oh Big Eight campuses. "It's hard for a black to be put into a predominantly white situation in class and be expected to perform up to his potential; Jones said. ' :. - " The role of black athletes in student governments is another concern the UNL . "students will discuss at the conference, Jones said. b - Because of. a black athlete's . prestige" among students, he would have more in fluence on a political level, he said. - f seme solutions to these problems are reached, at the conference, , Jones said he will submit them to university, administra tors. , f ,? ; ' ' f .Trie Legion of Black Colleg!ans at "the.
