Increasing costs of education, low faculty salaries
and financial aid will be the major lobbying priorities
of the State Student Association, said Deb Chapellc,
chair of the SSA's legislative assembly.
"We're emphasizing the idea of higher education as
an investment in Nebraska's future," she said.
Chapellc said a voter registration drive to be under
taken with ASUN's Government Liaison Committee is
the SSA's major non-lobbying project this year.
UNL, Peru State College and UNO are currently
committed to the newly formed SSA, a statewide stu
dent lobbying group, said Nette Nelson, GLC chair and
member of the SSA's board of directors.
Wayne State College students will vote on joining
the SSA in early February, Nelson said. The Wayne
State student senate approved joining the SSA and set
up the election after ASUN senate President Rick
Mockler and GLC members Nelson, Chapelle and Meri
Blaylock went to Wayne Jan. 8 to talk about the SSA,
Nelson said.
Students at Kearney State are expected to vote on
SSA membership in March, Nelson said. She said an
SSA delegation will go to Kearney Jan. 28 to meet
with administrators and students there.
"We have a core committee working there to con
sider how to get the information on the SSA out to the
student body," Nelson said.
An SSA legislative assembly meeting scheduled for
Jan. 16 was cancelled because bad weather prevented
Peru State representatives from getting to Lincoln, Nel
son said.
The purpose of the assembly was to plan a mass
lobby day at the Nebraska Capitol, tentatively schedul
ed for March 14 or 15, and organize the SSA-GLC
voter registration drive.
Chapelle said the legislative assembly will set
another meeting as soon as possible.
"It's very hard to get a foothold. We have the
organization we need, we have the structure, but we
need specific strategies to get going. And that's what
the meeting was supposed to be for," she said.
Chapelle said preparations for the voter registration
drive are going well.
"Basically, we're going to get some people working
on the legal technicalities of registering voters. We will
start out with as much information as possible," she
said.
The drive will begin around March, Nelson said.
Native Americans schedule meeting
The UNL chapter of the Nebraska Native American
Student Congress is sponsoring the group's second
quarterly meeting at the East Union Friday and Saturday.
The NNASC, a group of high school and college stu
dents, operates on the theme of youth helping youth.
According to Jim Ashley, president of the chapter,
NNASC is a youth organization designed to help the
Native American youth of the state.
"Through us, we hope that students can realize and
achieve their educational and vocational goals," Ashley
said.
Carol Mitchell, treasurer, said, "A lot of high school
students don't know who to turn to for support." The
NNASC encourages youth to help youth, and tries to
make available workshops and sources of information
about career fields in response to student needs. The
group also enables Native American high school students
to visit post-secondary institutions across the state.
The NNASC is sponsored by the Indian Commission.
But according to Jana Ashley, research analyst and techni
cal adviser of the NNASC, the group wants to become
Workshop emphasizes
insurance of activities
Student organizations must be offically registered to
receive liability insurance, UNL officials said at a Thurs
day workshop.
The workship, titled "Liability, Insurance, and Student
Responsibilities in Organizational Activities," was spon
sored by the office of Campus Activities and Programs.
Ennio Quevedo, activities coordinator of the CAP
office, introduced the panel composed of Roy Loudon,
personnel and risk management; David DeCoster, dean of
students; and John Wiltse, assistant general counsel.
The panel answered questions from students and advisers
of UNL organizations.
Loudon pointed out that the university's liability
insurance is not accident insurance. The insurance policy
covers activities that occur on UNL premises, and neg
ligent acts of organizations.
"The point we want to get across is that the policy is
liability insurance, not accident insurance. There must be
negligence or a tort," Loudon said.
Wiltse said torts are civil wrongs punishable as a crime.
Loudon said that to be covered by liability insurance,
"an organization must be a recognized registered organ
ization," He said all activities of organizations must be
registered also.
Wiltse emphasized the point, saying "If they are not
registered, there will be no coverage."
Loudon said the liability policy does not cover frat
ernity or sorority houses. Wiltse said "you can almost
divorce the university of responsibility for what happens
in Greek houses." Eiltse said there are some houses on
university property but most are not, thus the policy.
DeCoster said routine liability affairs usually to not
involve the dean of students. "But 95 percent of activities
that do are alcohol related ," he said .
Quevedo summed up the workshop by saying that for
organizations to "stay out of trouble," they should
"exercise common sense and register their events."

Ashley said the quarterly meeting is set up by the stu
dents, her assistants and Lloyd Ware, a counselor at the
Multi-Cultural Affairs offices. The meeting will feature
Gerald Gibb, president of Haskell Indian Junior College as
speaker and three workshops.
"The goal-setting workshop and the fund-raising work
shop are set up mainly for the high school students .and
the third workshop, proposal writing, is set up for the
post-secondary students, Ashley said.
The NNASC has 12 chapters in Nebraska, nine of
which are high school chapters. The three post-secondary
chapters are at UNL, UNO and Chadron.

The policy would allow all students, even minors, to
drink alcohol in their residence hall rooms. Drinking
would not be allowed in public areas such as lounges or
halls. Students who drank so much that they disturbed
others on their floors would be penalized. But they could
also be referred to counseling centers for alcohol abuse
treatment.
Some RHA members said the new policy would violate
state law, since it would allow minors to drink.
Flack said minors drink in the halls now anyway, and
the new. policy could help prevent them from abusing
alcohol.
RHA tabled discussion of the new policy until its next
meeting.
Members also voted to support the NU Board of
Regents stand that 1 6th and 17th streets be closed to
through traffic by 1986.
