ASW 'advocates return of coins
By Kent Wameke
A talk by a late addition to ASUN's open forum
speakers, the coordinator for the African People's Union,
resulted in extensive debate and discussion over UNL's
acceptance of 1,300 Krugerrand coins during ASUN's
Wednesday meetins.
Subsequently, ASUN passed a resolution advocating
the end of all economic involvement, directly or
indirectly, by the University and the NU Foundation in
the economy of South Africa, especially including the
donation of the Krugerrands.
Hodari Sobabu called the South African coins "blood
money" resulting from the savagery of South African
apartheid government. ,
Several senators asked Sobabu why he would not be
satisfied with anything less than the immediate return of
the coins to the donor, a 1 923 UNL alumnus.
Sen. Wendy Wysong, asked why there was no attempt
to put the money towards black student affairs or
Affirmative Action.
"Why not look at the money, as vindication for past
wrongs committed to blacks in South Africa and look for
practical good use in the present situation," Wysong said.
Sen. Renee Wessels said that if stipulations could be
altered, possibly the money could go for programs
sponsored by the University Program Council's Culture
Center, a programming body designed for minority
students.
The donation has been stipulated for the College of
Engineering with not more than 10 percent to be spent
each year.
'Nothing less'
"We'd rather see the Culture Center fall down and
collapse, rather than use 'those coins," Sobabu said. "We
won't accept anything less than the return of the coins to
the donor,"
In a recent development, ASUN president, Bud Cuca,
said the proposed idea for photo identification cards for
UNL students has been scrapped , '
Cuca said he met with regent Robert Prokop, vice
chancellor Richard Armstrong, Athlectic Director Bob
Devaney and Ticket Manager Jielen Wagner and it was
determined the problem was a result of enforcement
rather than identification.
"The University will be implementing stricter enforce
ment with student athletic tickets, but photo I.D.'s are
out of the picture," Cuca said,
Cuca also announced that the state students' assocation
has been organized after a meeting, with representatives
from Omaha,
"The association is getting off the ground and it

Lovato, Casdos talk
. Rumaldo Lovato and Leroy Casdos, representing the
United Chicanos and Chicanas of Aztlan, also spoke
during open forum recommending acts intended to help
promote the removal of discrimination.
The recommendations included endorsing an increase .
in recruiting of Chicano and Chicana faculty members and
requiring all ASUN senators to take a course in ethnic
studies or attend seminars to increase the understanding
of what Casdos called, "the thirdiworld experience."
Sen. Gail Casteel asked if any constructive attempts
had been made by their group . to accomplish their
objectives besides looking for outside help.
"You come in here and ask us to do things for you, but
have you made any attempts io do things for yourselves,
like running for ASUN or joining University' Program
Council?" Casteel asked.
Sen. Jim Davidson said that, as representatives of UNL,
students, ASUN. should push for a comprehensive
Affirmative Action program for the University as soon as
possible.
