Chief justice seeks to leave old problems behind
The new chief justice of the UNL Student Court, Todd
Morrison, says that last year's problems are last year's
problems, and he will be concerned only with this year's
objectives.
Morrison, 23, was named chief justice by the ASUN
executive committee last month. A junior in the Law
College, Morrison is the only graduate student of the
eight-member student court.
Morrison, a native of Omaha, succeeds Joe Nigro as
chief justice.
Last spring, following a controversial hearing involving
Electoral Commission Director Jennifer Fager, ASUN
formed a committee to investigate the court's actions
in the case.
That committee concluded that the court had acted
inconsistently with the Judicial Code and requested that
Nigro resign his position.
"I think the court will have to be very careful when
making decisions this year," Morrison said. "After last
year, I know people are going to be critical of us, so we
have to be sure to thoroughly examine all the cases before
we make any decision."
The appointment is Morrison's first involvement with
student government at UNL. As an undergraduate at
UNO, Morrison served on the student hearing board for
a semester.
Morrison said he applied for the student court posi
tion for the involvement and experience the position
would provide.
"It seemed like it would be a very interesting posi
tion," he said. "It would allow me to become more
involved with the campus.
"Being on East Campus most of the time, I don't
get much of a chance to get involved in the university.
This seemed like a good area to do that in," Morrison
said.
He added that the position would be helpful to his
future law career.
The student court is a special committee that meets
only when requested by ASUN.. Thus, Morrison said,
he will hold a introductory meeting "just to see who
everybody is."
Morrison said he would like to see the court switch
to a more arbitrary form of decision-making.
"I hope to get the sides together, sit them down and
settle the dispute arbitrarily," Morrison said.
"I think that it would be the best way to go," he
said. "We would try to have both sides reach some sort
of satisfaction, instead of just saying, 'yu're right'
and 'you're wrong.' I know that would be better than
having people up screaming at each other, with no one
really paying attention to what the other is saying."
Morrison said he also wants to work with the court
and ASUN to create a definite list of what the student
courts' powers and purposes are.
"Right now, the ASUN Constitution just says we
should look into the dispute," Morrison said. "But there's
nothing in there to tell us what we should be doing, or
what we can or can't do. I would like to set some guide
lines for that."

Council to award 250 associateships

The National Research Council is holding its 28th
annual Associateship program for scientists and engineers
with doctorate degrees.
Approximately 250 new full-time associateships will
be awarded on a competitive basis in 1983 for research
in chemistry, engineering and mathematics, and in the
earth, environmental, physical, space and life sciences.
Most of these associateships are open to both recent
doctorate degree holders and senior investigators.
The awards are for one year, with a possible extension
for a second year. In a few programs, initial awards are
made for two years with a possible third year of support
at a academic institution.
Recent doctoral degree earners may receive stipends
which range from $23,500 to a maximum of $50,000 a
year for senior associates.
A stipend supplement up to $5,000 may be made
available to awardees with recognized doctoral degree
at
r
:
y :
in engineering, computer science or certain areas of
earth geological sciences. Allowances are made for re
location and for limited professional travel. The research
will be conducted in one of 18 federal research institu
tions at laboratores located throughout the United States.
Initiated in 1954, the Associateship Programs have
contributed to the career development of more than
3,500 scientists, ranging from recent Ph.D. recipients, to
distinguished senior scientists.
Applications to the Research Council for the current
programs must be postmarked no later than Jan. 15,
1983. The award winners will be announced in April.
Information on specific research opportunities and
federal laboratories, as well as application materials, may
be obtained from Associateship Programs, JH 610-D1,
, National Research Council, 2101 Constitution Avenue,
N.W., Washington, D.C., 20418. The phone number for
the organization is (202) 334-2760.

It is the state legislature which will bear the dispropor
tionate burden of creating legislation to deal with the
state administration of these programs. Therefore, it is
state legislators who must be fairly compensated for their
extended duty.
Presently, Nebraska ranks fifth-lowest in salaries to
state legislators. When combined with expense allowances,
the salary paid to our state senators is 48th of 50 state
legislatures.
Nebraskans already have rejected this year's legislative
plea for fair compensation by defeating the proposal in
the May primary. A vote for the reimbursement of
expenses to state legislators on the November ballot
would alleviate some of the financial burden placed on
them while continuing to offer generic priced government
to the citizens of our state.
