Council looks at new plan
3 C
By Bill Graf
A new affirmative action plan has been formulated by
the University Affirmative Action Council. But, according
to the UNL affirmative action officer, the new plan is
basically the same as the one in force at NU since 1974.
Bradley Munn said the new plan includes realistic te
visions in light of the university's financial situation.
However, according to Ned fledges, vice chancellor for
academic affairs, some oppose the new plan because they
believe it should be more binding on department chairmen
and others involved in hiring.
'There are problems with the new plan," Munn said.
"Some want the plan to contain a penalty for department
chairmen that don't make an effort to comply with the
affirmative action plan."
He also said the 1974 plan was a NU system plan, but
there is ho longer an affirmative action officer overseeing -all
three NU campuses.
Nationwide affirmative action programs were started
by an executive order of the President of the United
States. The order says all federal contractors should make
a "goodwill effort" to hire minorities and women.
Munn said the rewrite of the plan was meant to be a
house cleaning," to bring the plan up to date.
He also said the new plan will integrate four separate
documents into one.
He added that a draft of the plan will be presented to
the NU Board of Regents Saturday. The regents will vote
on the plan's adoption in January.
If the new plan is rejected, the old plan will stay in
force, Munn said.
The affirmative action plan currently employed
contains basically the same goals and time tables as the
new plan, he said. However, he said, the old plan is "too
wordy and contains too much detail. There are some
facets of the old plan that are simply unworkable."
The new plan's strengths are its greater emphasis on
training programs and the financial condition of the uni-versity.hesaid.

Seasoned forensics team
among UNL's winningest
COOT
By Debora Hemminger
The Cornhusker Forensics Team is one
of the strongest in the Midwest and has one
of the best winning records among cam.
pus teams, according to the forensics
director.
Jack Kay said the team has won 43
trophies this semester, considerably more
than last year. He said experience is a big
reason of the success of this year's team.
"Most universities are happy to break,
even,'- in the won -loss record, Kay said.
The UNL forensics team has a 60.5 percent
winning record against other universities."
Anyone that is interested in debate or
individual events for the forensics team is
invited to participate, he said, whereas
most universities demand that the team
members,, have experiences before they
compete, Kay said.
Kay said the UNL team considers
forensics a learning experience that will
help students in the job market:
About 60 students have participated in
the program this year.
The Cornhusker Forensics Team won
first place at the Creighton University and
the Iowa State University sweepstakes. A
sweepstakes contest includes all schools
competing for total team points. The team
won second place in the sweepstakes at a
tournament at Kansas State University and
third place at a debate at Nebraska VVesle
yan University.
Kay said the team attends as many
tournaments as possible on a limited bud
get. . .
Kay said the benefits of participating on
the forensic team are interacting with
faculty, and gaining the ability to think
. critically and reach decisions by analyzing
"evidenced " .
