ASUN opposes proposed Pub Board guidelines
By Patti Gallagher
The ASUN Senate unanimously voted its
opposition to the recommendations for
new UNL Publications Board guidelines at
the Wednesday night ASUN meeting. Its
opposition will be presented to the NU
Board of Regents, who will consider the
new guidelines on Dec. 13.
The regents established an ad -hoc com
mittee in October to review the publica
tions board guidelines. The committee was
established in response to the James Coe
letter incident.
The ad-hoc committee released its
recommendations about two weeks ago,
which called for stricter membership on
the publications board. Among the com
mittee's recommendations were:
that any elected or appointed officer
of the university administration, faculty
government or student government be
banned from being a board member.
that none of the above officers be
allowed as a board member until at least
one year after their term ends.
that no campus newspaper staff mem
ber may be on the board
while employed by the newspaper.
that no member, former member, or
unsuccessful candidate of a student fee
allocation body be allowed membership.
Additionally, the committee's recom
mendations included having a special group
consisting of members from college advis
ory boards appoint the student members to
the publications board.
According to ASUN Speaker Rick
Mockler, the senate will appear before the
regents to oppose the recommended guide
lines. Mockler said that ASUN is also
organizing a college dean, advisory board
member and professional journalist to
speak against the guidelines.
The committee also recommended that
the appointment of student members to
the publications board be subject to
approval of the campus chancellor.
ASUN is currently the body who
appoints student members to the publica
tions board. According to Mockler, the
senate should retain that responsibility
because they are a better representative of
students than a group of advisory board
members.
Mockler also said that barring either pre
sent or past elected student government
members from a board position greatly
cuts possible candidates.
Because the phrase student government
is "going to exclude thousands of stu
dents," ASUN specified in its resolution
that only ASUN senators and members of
the Committee for Fees Allocation be
barred from membership on the board.
Additionally, the resolution states that
the chancellor's role in publications board
membership be limited to veto power
over final candidates, with actual appoint
ments made by ASUN.
In other action, the senate passed a reso
lution supporting the continuance of
UNL's College of Nursing. Because of a
need to cut $50,000 from the nursimi
school budget, the Lincoln program is be
ing considered for elimination.
According to Teresa Krieger, president
of the UNL Nurses Association, the
nursing program is not large enough to
handle UNL students if the Lincoln
program is cut. If the 232 current UNL
nursing students were transferred to
Omaha, she said overenrollment would
cause 40.3 percent decrease of graduates.
Last week, UNL nursing students had a
petition drive to get student support for
keeping the Lincoln program. According to
Sen. Teresa Zeilinger, a nursing student
who helped with the drive, 650 signatures
were obtained in two days.
In other action, Sen. Tim McAllister
announced his resignation from the senate.
McAllister said that he has recently been
put on university probation which
prohibits him from holding an elected posi
tion. He said that probation mandates that
he either be removed or resign by this
semester's end. He chose to resign now so
the senate could begin looking for his re
placement, he said.
Flyers to promote Union bookstore management
By Mary Louise Knapp
A proposal to distribute flyers explaining reasons why
the Nebraska Union wants to manage the University
Bookstore was passed at Wednesday night's Union Board
meeting.
Planning committee Chairman Ben Barrett advised that
the flyers be distributed during finals week book buy
backs from a booth in the union lobby and given to stu
dent organizations.
"Students need to be made aware of the benefits they
can receive if the union manages the bookstore," he said.
The bookstore proposal is part of the Five-Year-Plan
for renovation of the Nebraska Union.
In the plan, the three existing parts of the bookstore
would be consolidated into one area in the union base
ment. The new bookstore would make use of space now
occupied by the bowling alley, the Rostrum and the
women's restroom.
Members of the Union Board recently met with Inter
im Chancellor Robert Rutford to discuss the bookstore
management. Rutford will make a decision on manage
ment and the dispersal of bookstore profits at the begin
ning of next semester.
The University Bookstore is now managed by the UNL
Department of Business and Finance.
Barrett presented a proposal drawn up by Union Food
Service Manager Ronald Pushcar for the 1980-81 fiscal
year advocating removal of the union's depreciation funds
account for food service equipment.
Barrett presented another proposal drawn up by Union
Food Service Manager Ronald Pushcar, suggesting funding
for food service equipment based on a 10 percent increase
in sales.
The new funding would eventually eliminate the de
preciation account for the purchase of equipment, and
would also enable the food service department to become
independent of state bond monies, a goal set for the de
partment by Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs Richard
Armstrong.
In other business. Union Director Daryl Swanson
announced that service of hard-dip ice cream in the Deli
beginning next week. The ice cream will be provided by
the food science department on East Campus.
Swanson also announced that soft drink prices will go
up next semester in all union food service areas. The price
for 12 ounce drinks will go from the current price of 34
cents to 37 cents, and 16 ounce drinks from 43 cents will
cost 47 cents.
Swanson said that some students have complained
about the quality of goods at the Bakery.
The Bakery closed down its production facilities
on Nov. 20 and is now selling commercial goods.
"We enjoy the arrangements we have made with the
current vendor (Mr. B's IGA, 27th Street and Cornhusker
Highway), in terms of finances, but we are working on
raising standards of quality and freshness," Swanson
said.
Barrett announced that he will resign from the board
at the end of this semester.
