The committee will meet at 1:30 p.m. in Room 2414 of the State Capitol. ASUN president Gerard Keating said he expects 75 to 100 students to appear at the secondary education appropria tions hearing. He said ASUN senators and all UNL students are encouraged to attend the meeting. Deb Chapelle, Nebraska State Stu dent Association executive director, said student representation is impor tant "to show that the university is not just an entity, but a community of people." Keating and Chapelle said students must remember they can speak to senators following the meeting and Chapelle said students should con tinue to contact senators by phone and mail. But NU Board of Regents Chairman Robert Koefoot of Grand Island said he thinks "a mob of students" at the hear ing would be ineffective.
