ASUN moves to reappoint Union Board members
By Shelley Smith
After a month of discussion and
committee review, ASUN passed a bill
which will reappoint former members of
the Nebraska Union Board in order to
change the board's bylaws.
The bylaw changes involve separating
the Campus Advisory Board from the
Union, creating a CAB advisory board and
restructuring the University Program Coun
cil, according to ASUN president Ken
Marienau.
The bill states that since there are con
flicts and deficiences existing between
ASUN and the bylaws of the Union Board,
and because they are the only body that
has the authority to change those bylaws,
members should be reappointed. The bill
also set a Jan. 31 deadline for changing the
bylaws.
Union Board member Clay Statmore
said in earlier discussion that the proposals
will be published in the Daily Nebraskan,
and that the board then needs 10 days be
fore they can be passed.
He said he felt that UPC should not be
totally independent, but should be ad
vised by the CAB office so that old mem
bers would not appoint the new members.
Statmore had urged the senate to pass
the bill Nov. 15, in order to "give us (UB)

a chance to get started." However, a
motion for an early adjournment before
the bill could be discussed, and a request
the next week to keep the bill in the
Campus Life committee for debate, de
layed discussion.
In other ASUN action, a bill was passed
to form an ad hoc committee to study
proposed bylaw changes for UNL.
Senator Steve Upton, chairperson of the
Internal Affairs committee who sponsored
the bill, said that Chancellor Roy Young
realized that it is in ASUN's jurisdiction
to study the proposed amendments, and he
suggested the committee.
The committee will consist of three
senators appointed by Marienau, and will
make a report to the senate before Jan. 31
The senate also recommended the CAB
office print and distribute information
about the liability insurance protection
available to student organizations.
The information will be placed in a
packet given to student organizations to
"clarify registration procedures, restric
tions on events, criteria used to identify
risky events, and to prevent over assess
ment of student organizations in the
future."
An ti-inflation chief to examine
inflation, energy relationship
Washington -Carter administration anti
inflation chief Alfred Kahn disclosed Wed
nesday he is investigating the cause of an
increase in home heating oil prices, as well
as shortages of unleaded gasoline.
"The tension between the inflation pro
gram on one hand and the energy problem
on the other is tearing us apart," said
Kahn, chairman of the Council on Wage
and Price Stability.
He added that "in the long run I believe
the government has to let the price of
energy go up."

Nevertheless, he told the congressional
Joint Economic Committee, he has ap
pointed a panel to study the impact of
rising energy prices and shortages on the
administration's new program to combat
inflation.
Kahn also told the committee he is pre
paring a recommendation to the adminis
tration on whether there should be a delay
or a change in the scheduled increase in the
t i
minimum wage Jan. i .
Work together
Moscow U.S.-Soyiet trade has grown at
an unsatisfactory rate, and the Carter ad
minstration would like to see it increase,
Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal
said Wednesday.
"We are determined to move forward,"
Blumentahl told the annual meeting of the
U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Coun
cil. "The United States and the U.S.S.R.
have worked before to a common end and
we can do it again."
No jamboree
Geneva, Switzerland -The 15th annual
World Scout Jamboree next summer has
been called off because of political unrest
in Iran, where it was scheduled to be held,
the World Scout Committee announced
Wednesday.
The jamboree, which is held every four
years, will be rescheduled for 1983. It is
the first time in 40 years that the event has
been called off, the spokesman said.
Regents to discuss pensions
Adjustments in the university pension
plan and in budget change requirements are
scheduled for discussion at the NU Board
of Regents meeting Friday.
Director of Personnel Services William
Jones has sponsored a proposal which
would change the age of mandatory par
ticipation in the university pension plan
from 30 to 40.
Only those with previous waivers from
the regents would be exempt, and they
would be given a chance to change their
minds. Currently, those given waivers
cannot join later.
The University Fringe Benefit
Committee voted last month to accept the
proposal, but only if it allows waivers for
those over 40. Jones and executive vice
president William Erskine, who approved
the proposal, oppose the waiver clause.
In addition, a new policy allowing some
budget change flexibility will be before the
regents. If the policy is approved, it will
allow campuses to make budget changes if
they do not raise the budget by more than
one percent. Changes over one percent
would be subject to regent approval.
The policy stems from a state supreme
court decision that the university has
control over non-tax revenues, not the
Legislature. The decision gives the regents
more autonomy in university decision
making. The regents also will consider the ap
pointments of Arthur Kraft and Russell
Nelson to Associate Dean of the College of
Business Administration and Associate
Dean of graduate studies, respectively.
