Boatfd of Regents trade suggested
Callaudet College ts a private Institution elded by the
Federal government. It was founded In 1864 to the Dis
trict of Columbia. Its enrollment is ovet 1,000 students. It
is the only institution of higher teaming exclusively for
the deaf. The following is a letter to Gallzudet
To Whom It May Concern:
As a concerned ttudent at the University of Nebraska
Lincoln, I feel it is necessary to break tome bad newt to
you.
You have the wrong people governing your university.
I can say this with authority because we have the wrong
people governing our university.
A mistake has been made, Gallaudet, a school Tor deaf
students, has the Board of Regents for the University of
Nebraska system. Likewise we have your Regents-for
they are surely deaf.
The thought occurred to me last week in the midst of
another Campus Controversy here at UNL. Its so evident
I'm surprised someone didn't think of it sooner.
Hie regents were deciding on a 10 percent tuition
increase for the 1980-1981 school year. Students didn't
want a tuition increase. Guess who won? If you said the
Regents, you're right.
Why didn't the Regents heed the vocal disapproval of
the leaders of the student senate? Simple. Irs because
they are deaf to anything that comes out of the mouths of
the Associated Students of the University of Nebraska.
They just don't listen.
They also ignored a petition with more than 5,000
signatures of students who didn't want any increase next
year. Maybe their eyesight fs going too.
Since arriving at UNL in 1977, 1 have noticed a major
controversy arises annually to point out the regents handi
cap. Two years ago they stopped using funds from student
fees for speakers. Some conservative students were mad
that their money was going to represent people they
didn't agree with politically,
Big deal. This has been happening since the beginning
of time. We spent millions of dollars in Vietnam and a
heckuva lot of people were against that escapade.
We sttil have speakers on campus, but they are harder
to come by and funded from other department budgets
the campus programs that used to spend that money on
something else.
Last year we had the Great Stadium Expansion tjue
tion.
At issue was the addition of 8,000 seats on to Memor
ial Stadium, where the Nebraska football team plays The
stadium capacity Is 76,000 teats, but the athletic depart
ment wanted more, The Regents wanted more. The stu
dents did not want more,
I would appreciate a speedy solution to the problem.
Please send our Regents back and we will send you yours.
IVn sure you will get along better than we did,
You have the expertise to work with them and make
them factional in society. We have tried and tried but
too many ttudent government leaders are getting flat
heads from banging their heads against the wall at Regents
Hall.
Please help us.
Signed,
Concerned Student
