Support grows for statewide student association
By Bob Glissman
Support for a state student association in Nebraska is
growing, according to reports from the ASUN's Govern
ment Liaison Committee. A petition drive which began
last semester is evidence of that support.
Nette Nelson, committee chairman, said the drive at
ITML will continue into the first part of February.
More than 180 signatures have been collected this
semester. Nelson said, and more than 2,400 have been
collected since the drive began.
Nelson said the committee wants as many signatures as
possible to present to UNL Interim Chancellor Robert
Rut ford.
Rut ford will decide whether or not to include an addi
tional 50 cents in Fund A student fees to finance an SSA.
Nelson said the money would pay for a lobbyist, an SSA
director and a secretary.
Nebraska schools which would be affected by (he SSA
are Peru, Wayne, Chadron and Kearney State colleges, as
well as UNO and the NU Medical Center. Fach has shown
support for the organization. Nelson said.
Ann Block, (iLC vice chairman, said UNO is ready to
launch a petition drive, and Peru State's student senate
has voted unanimously to join an SSA.
Nelson said the member schools will meet Jan. 22 at a
State College Board of Trustees meeting in Lincoln.
She said that after SSA is formed, (il.C
will have little or nothing to do with the organization.
The committee will have assumed the role of building an
SSA in Nebraska, she said, but that's probably where its
function will end.
Nelson said that in addition to the booths in the citv
campus and the Last unions, petitions and fact sheets wij
be made available to campus organizations and Greek
houses. She said the Residence Hall Association probably
will set up tables with petitions in residence hall cafeter
ias this week or next week.
