Economy needs. . .
Continued from Page 1
The campaign illustrates how powerful banks and in
surance companies are today, Rogers said. A more realistic
appraisal of these institutions is that they are money
collection agencies, he said. As they collect more money
they gain more political power. They use this power when
their interests conflict with the interests of poor and
working people, Rogers said.
Rogers said the labor movement in the United States
must reckon witn gaining greater control over financial
institutions. They must build their own banks and in
surance companies - to bring democracy into the
economy, he said.
Rogers' present project, Corporate Campaign, Inc., is
supposed to, help unions make existing financial institut
ions accountable for how they spend millions of dollars
of union pension funds.
Corporate Campaign, Inc., wants to get involved in a
wide range of issues, Rogers said. It is dedicated to getting
justice out of institutions that have too much power, he
said.
National student officer
was born to organize
By Charles Flowerday
Janice Fine, 20, national chairperson for the United
States Student Association, said she represents approxi
mately 3.5 million students from all parts of the country.
In Lincoln for the Ninth Annual National State Stu
dent Association Conference at UNL this weekend, Fine
said the USSA had gone through a decline in membership
recently.
"But I think we're back on our way to influencing stu
dents," she said. "It's very difficult to recruit at 3,000
colleges. Our influence on Capitol Hill is substantial. We're
recognized as a national voice of students."
Fine is currently on sabbatical from the State Univer
sity of New York at Albany to allow her to work full-time
in Washington, D.C., as an organizer and lobbyist for the
USSA.
"I always felt the best education I could get was out of
the classroom. Working on state and national levels (of
government) I could see how decisions are made," she
said.
The USSA is committed to ensuring that affordable
and quality education continues to be a priority of state
and national policy makers, Fine said at a press
conference Saturday.
Part of her work is influencing policy decisions, she
said. The other part is educating students. The USSA
wants to communicate to students that major power im
balances exist, and that students must be made aware of
the power relations and decisions that affect their lives,
she said.
"I've always wanted to be an organizer," Fine explain
ed, noting that activism runs in her family. Her father,
now a community organizer in Chicago, was one of the
founders of the Israeli air force in 1948. Her sister, Margi,
is a national field organizer for a coalition for repro
ductive rights. Both of her parents were active in the
peace movement during the Vietnam War, she said.
"I know the power of consistant pressure on lawmak
ers," she said, referring to a recent effort on the part
3,000 students and faculty to fight budget cuts in educa
tion. They were successful in their attempt to forestall
"massive budget cuts," she explained.
