Neighboring universities face similar problems
By Eric Peterson
Student lobbying organizations in neighboring states
are facing many of the same problems that UNL and the
Nebraska State Student Association are.
Kurt Keppler, program director of the Associated Stu
dents of the University of Missouri, said cuts in financial
aid for students and low appropriations for Missouri's
state university system are his group's main concerns.
"We'll obviously be very much affected (by the financi
al aid cuts)," Keppler said. "We have several people work
ing in Jefferson City on financial aid."
Keppler said ASUM has conducted letter-writing camp
aigns, and sent several representatives to Washington, D.C.
for the U. S. Student Association lobbying conference
Feb. 26 through 28.

Keppler said state appropriations for the university
system traditionally have been small in Missouri.
"We've been cut in the past two years," he said. A
budget increase this year is designed to make up for the
past budget cuts, but still won't keep peace with inflat
ion, he said.
A major ASUM activity is offering a political science
internship program about student issues, Keppler said.
Interns get college credit for researching and testifying
about student political issues as registered lobbyists. The
ASUM board of directors has conducted student surveys
in the past to determine priority issues, Keppler said.
He said aid cuts may have a good effect on student in
volvement in Missouri.
"I think it's really a good thing that students arc finally
realizing that they can help. People who are usually
caught up with grades or whatever are beginning to realize
that all this affects them, and they're doing something
about it," he said.
Keppler said a stale advisory board composed of legis
lators and administrators was recently formed to help stu
dent lobbyists with techniques and advice to be more
effective.
The university system is somewhat better-off in
Kansas, according to Mark Tallman, executive director of
the Associated Students of Kansas. ASK lobbies for seven
Kansas schools.
A columnist at the University of Kansas newspaper re
cently said ASK is too general, and has too many issues to
be effective, but Tallman said ASK focuses on student
budget issues.
"I would say we keep our agenda relatively narrow. We
always make a practice of prioritizing certain issues," he
said.
Tallman said ASK was formed in the early 1970s, and
has been consistently effective.
"Year by year, we've supported higher education in the
state," he said. "Kansas has a pretty good record in
supporting higher education."
ASK has helped to keep student wage increases in pace
with inflation, obtained state funding for the student
unions in Kansas and worked for tenant-landlord laws,
Tallman said.
He said the federal budget cuts may be made up for by
increased state funding in Kansas. Tallman said the Kansas
Legislature is considering several tax increase measures to
take up the slack of federal funding.

Senate forms Student Foundation
By Betsy Miller
The ASUN Senate established Wednes
day a Student Foundation to work with
the NU Foundation as a' fund-raising or
ganization. The meeting was held in the
UNL Culture Center.
However, Dan Wedekind, ASUN first
vice president, said the Student Founda
tion will be able to make decisions inde
pendently of the NU Foundation. .
Wedekind and five other ASUN mem
bers formulated a set of guidelines for the
new foundation.
The Student Foundation Board will
consist of 10 members. One student will
represent the colleges of Criminal Justice,
Arts and Sciences, Nursing and the School
of Journalism; one will represent Architec
ture, Engineering and Business Administra
tion colleges; one will represent the Tea
chers, Graduate and professional colleges;
one will represent the colleges of Home Ec
onomics and Agriculture; four will be
members at large; one member will repre
sent the faculty and one will represent the
NU Foundation.
The faculty and NU Foundation mem
bers will not have a vote on the board.
Wedekind said the student foundation
will also initiate its own projects.
It will also serve as a liaison between
the student body and the NU Foundation
and provide student input to UNL's
chancellor for his use in deciding alloca
tion of discretionary funds, the foundation
guidelines read.
Original board members will be selected
by members of the ASUN Committee on
the Student Foundation, two representat
ives of ASUN and one member of the NU
Foundation.
Any UNL student that has at least a 2.0
grade point average and is enrolled in at
least six credit hours is eligible for the
board.
In other action, the senate voted to
change the number of non-voting members
on the Committee for Fees Allocation
from three to six.
The three new members will be student
representatives from the Nebraska Unions,
Health Center and Recreation student
advisory boards.
The unions, Health Center and Recrea
tion Department are Fund B users and
their representation is needed on CFA to
improve communications with CFA, said
Sen. Teresa Zeilinger.
