Changes in Dead Week policy are considered
'JNL's Dead Week policy for this semester will follow
the guidelines stated in the 1981-82 class schedule. The
policy, passed, by the UNL Faculty Senate in 1971, states
that each instructor is expected to follow the published
calendar and final examination schedule, and that
instructors should make a special effort to avoid giving
comprehensive semester examinations during dead week.
Comprehensive semester examinations are to be given
at the time regularly scheduled for them. No hour exams
are to be given during dead week without the unanimous
consent of the students in the class.
Any deviation from this policy should be with the con
currence of the teaching department and the dean of the
college, and with the unanimous consent of the class.
Complaint forms concerning violations of the Dead
Week policy may be obtained in the ASUN Senate office,
Nebraska Union 1 15.
A proposed change in the Dead Week policy was re
cently developed by the senate's Academic Policy Com
mittee, said Steve Grasz, a member of the committee.
The proposed policy recommends that faculty give
cumulative reviews during dead week, that no new
material introduced during dead week be included on the
final comprehensive exam, that scheduled exams not be
moved, that no major projects, papers or speeches be due
during dead week unless specified by the instructor before
the last day of drop and add, that no major exams be
given during dead week, and that a couise syllabus be
issued by instructors during the first week of class.
The proposal would allow new material to be included
on noncomprchcnsivc exams and would also allow quizzes
or assignments of rough equivalence to a quiz due during
dead week.

The UNL Student Court heard testimony Friday at the
hearing for Electoral Commission Director Jennifer Fagcr.
The court will make a decision on the case early this
week .
Fagcr is charged with giving misleading testimony to
the court during two different hearings, one in February
and one in March. The testimony relates to whether Fagcr
advised sonic parties during the ASUN Senate election
that it was permissible to post campaign signs prior to the
Feb. 10 starting date specified in electoral rules.
Rick Mockler, serving as Fager's counsel, said he want
ed the court to consider Fager's motion for dismissal be
fore hearing any testimony. Chief Justice Joe Nigro, how
ever, said the court had decided to deliberate the answers
given by Fagcr to the charges and her motion for dismissal
at the same time.
"We don't feel that's the appropriate way to handle
it," Mockler said.
Nigro said evidence heard by the court at the hearing

and talk with a Navy Representative
would not sway its decision on whether to dismiss the
case.
During the three-hour hearing, the court was forced to
deliberate the question of whether the hearing was a new
case against Fagcr or a rehearing on the original case filed
against the Electoral Commission as a whole.
On March l , the court made a decision on a suit filed
by UNL students Kathy Mach and Mike Frost against the
Flectoral Commission. They charged that the commission
had not provided for a fair election because of an unclear
poster ruling. From that hearing, the court decided F'ager
had given misleading testimony and should be removed
from her post as commission director. However, the court
then declared that the decision against Fagcr was suspend
ed. Lucy Buntain, a UNL Fnglish instructor and faculty
member of the commission, sat on the bench with
Mockler and Fager Friday afternoon and refused to leave
it because she said the hearing was a continuation of the
original March l decision, an action involving the com
mission .
Nigro asked her to leave because Fager, as commission
director, was on trial not Buntain. He also said that be
cause Buntain is not a student, she could not offer
counsel.
The court then recessed briefly and decided that the
hearing was in fact new and did concern Fager individual
ly, not the commission. Buntain agreed to leave the
bench .
Mockler presented reasons for dismissal and then enter
ed testimony under protest because the court wasn't
deliberating the motion for dismissal separately.
Hie testimony concerns the issue of whether Fager, at
a hearing on Feb. 18, tried to correct discrepancies be
tween Mach's testimony that she informed all candidates
except the STUPID II Party that campaign posters could
be put up early and a written statement submitted by the
commission Feb. 17, that stated that no parties were in
formed they could post signs early.
Also, the court charges that on March 1 , Fager told the
court she informed Working Coalition Party and Brian
Stonecipher, an independent candidate, that they could
put up posters before the date specified in commission
rules. This contradicted a concession by the commission
that it had told only the Real Party it was all right to put
up posters before the Feb. 10 date specified in electoral
rules.
Fager claims the rule is confusing, thus prompting con
fusing testimony.
