Legilature passes
pot possession bill
A measure that would decriminalize
possession of marijuana on first offense is
awaiting the signature of Gov. J. James
Exon.
The bill passed final reading in the
Nebraska Legislature Tuesday, 36-9.
The final version of the bill is a compro
mise between two marijuana bills offered
this session by Sen. John DeCamp of
Neligh and Sen. Patrick Venditte of
Omaha.
Venditte 's measure would have stiffen
ed penalties. DeCamp proposed complete
decriminalization.
In the compromise bill, first convic
tion for possession of an ounce or less of
marijuana is punishable by a maximum
$100 fine.
Second offense is punishable by a maxi
mum $200 fine and a possible five-day jail
sentence. Subsequent offenses carry a
maximum $300 fine and a mandatory
seven-day jail term.

CSL waits
for report
on future
The Council on Student
Life adjourned their last
scheduled meeting of the
year last night, unsure if the
council will exist next year.
The main topic of discus
sion was a scheduled report
by Regent Robert Prokop
of Wilber, at Saturday's
Board of Regents meeting.
Prokop will report on
amending the section of the
regents' by-laws dealing
with the existence of CSL.
Council members acknow
ledged that no one is sure of
the content of the report
and decided to adopt a
"wait and see" attitude.
The Council also discus
sed its previous stand
concerning the Parking Ad
visory Board. CSL has pro
posed that the parking
board become a policy-making
board, rather than an
advisory board. They also
have recommended that the
number of of faculty mem
bers on the board be re
duced from three to two.
No further action was taken
on the recommendations.
In other business, the
council decided to turn over
previous suggestions on re
vising their by-laws to an ap
peals sub-committee. That
committee will meet again
this year to decide if further
action on the by-laws
should be taken. CSL also
decided not to take a posi
tion on the student fees
controversy until next year.
