Lt. Gov. Roland Luedtke said he thinks students and young people have a special role in this planning process because they have the "most of the future to look for ward to." "We're building bridges for the future and that will have the most effect on those who have the longest trip on the bridge, he said. .The committee is composed of 20 appointments who represent a cross-section of Nebraska citizens. Their two fold objective, according to Luedtke, is to decide what issues are most important to the state and then to organize meetings in each of the legislative districts in order to discuss those issues. Students represented Miles Tommeraasen, a sophomore pre-med major, is representing the students on the committee. lie is joined by current and former officials from all levels of govern ment, business and labor representatives, politicians and doctors, among others.

Thonc's top priority items and plans for organization began after his state of the state address in March 1979, Tommeraasen explained. The group will plan "town hall meetings' which arc tentatively scheduled for late summer. They wQl then have regional meetings followed by a state conference to be held about one year from now, he said. Similar report Luedtke said that the committee originated with the executive branch of government and it is hoped the recommendations will be considered by the judicial and legislative branches in their short-term goals. "If you don't look long range" he said, "you might pass short range goals that don't fit in.' The Legislature has passed a study resolution which will allow the 2000 Committee to look at long range goals and it is hoped that the two branches will share their find ings, Luedtke said. The 2000 Committee report also will be linked with a similar report completed during the early 1970s, he said. Luedtke said his hope is that the report will have some significance and will be utilized. "1 don't want it to become another book on the shelf that collects dust, he noted. Tommeraasen said he thinks the study has significance, especially for students and encouraged young people to' participate. In the first meeting, he .said, he told the group he thinks students are more concerned about politics and governmental issues today. Students must realize that their complaints about budget cuts and inadequate funds won't be immediately resolved, but participation in setting long range goals will help solve those problems in the future, he said.
