ASUN begins action on new student impact system
By Pat Gentzler
ASUN has begun taking action on the
restructured student impact system it has
been promising since it recalled ali student
committee members two weeks ago.
At its Wednesday night meeting, ASUN
suspended senate rules that require bills
to go through time-consuming processes
before reaching the senate floor in order
to act on a number of proposals.
Two items receiving a great deal of
attention were bills concerning the Union
Board and the Council of Student Life.
A senate bill recognizing the Committee
on Union Operations and Policy that was
set up after the Union Board was crippled
by the ASUN recalls, was passed. The com
mittee, however, will only be recognized
until Dec. 31, 1978, after which no
"advisory structure which is not an agency
of ASUN" will be recognized.

The bill goes on to provide for the
development of a structure with students
setting Nebraska Union management
policy. That structure is yet to be
determined.
Public to be considered
Al Bennett Union Director, told the
senate that while the union's primary re
source is student fees and its primary
users are students, the public must be
considered.
The union is "variously funded as a
public center," he said, and an all-student
advisory board could be discriminatory
to other groups. ASUN could get "some
heat" from these groups, he said.
Senator Bob Gleason said that while
the paragraph calling for the development
of a new structure has some elbow room,
"we are not leaving all options open . We're
limiting ourselves to certain things."
The new structure will take some time
to be implemented which explains the Dec.
31 deadline. University and Board of
Regents bylaws will have to be revised for
an ASUN committee to replace the Union
Board as the Union advisory body.
CSL survived
The Council of Studer.t Life survived
two proposed amendments made by Sen
ators Joe Nigro and Gleason, that would
have abolished CSL by withdrawing
ASUN's recognition of it and therefore
making the council unable to establish a
quorum without student members.
The bill concerning CSL that was passed
by the seriate puts CSL in a similar
situation as Union Board. CSL will be
recognized by ASUN until Dec. 31, and
student members will be reappointed until
that date.
The restructured body that will replace
CSL after Dec. 31 has some stipulations,
as required by the bill. The body will be
a "forum" as opposed to a "council,"
which will "discuss" issues rather than
make "recommendations" on them.
CSLX Chairman John Benson spoke to
the senate and said that he did not think
the Dec. 31 deadline allowed enough time
to change university bylaws.
The senate also voted to reappoint stu
dents to the Teaching Council and the
Cultural Affairs Committee.
Date service is called a fraud
by student who files complaint
By Jeff Kruse
At least one UNL student has lost $10
to Landmark Marketing Service in connec
tion with the service's computer dating
program.
A graduate student (who wished not to
be identified) said that he paid $10 for ser
vice and has not been able to contact it
since.
A complaint has been filed with the
Better Business Bureau, who said they
would probably have information on the
service within a week.
Tom Greninger, and Barry Brooks, both
students, are responsible for the service.
"I guess we're going to call a halt to it,"
Greninger said.
Landmark Marketing Service is "just a
name Brooks made up this summer," he
said. Brooks, who was unavailable for
comment Wednesday, had said previously
that Landmark was a company that had
been operating in other cities, but that it
was new to Lincoln.
Brooks had also claimed that Greninger
was the head of the service, while
Greninger said, "It was all Brooks' idea. I
don't know that much about it."
The computer account (they use the
UNL computer system) for the dating ser
vice is under Brooks' name.
According to Greninger, there is no
computer program written for the dating
service.
"I started working on it a little bit, but
it never got done," he said.
Brooks has been using the computer,
though, according to Glen Anderson, dir
ector of UNL's computer network.
Greninger said he didn't know how
people would get their money back or how
many people had signed up for the service.
He had no way of contacting Brooks,
other than trying to catch him at the
Landmark office.
"But we're hardly ever there," he said.
Brooks earlier said he planned to extend
Landmark to areas other than computer
dating.
The student who signed up for the ser
vice said Brooks tried to sell him flowers,
and disco and theatre passes. Brooks also,
has placed at least one ad in the Daily
Nebraskan advertising a "Landmark Wake
up Service."
According to building officials, he still is
renting office space at 940 Stuart Bldg.
