Delegates feel relieved

"I don't think we should sell the
students short" and not advocate the
vote of student board members,
Hofmeister said.
NSSA members meet biannually to
come up with legislation to support
higher education in Nebraska. The
group forms its legislation and then
passes the ideas on to state senators
with the help of Richard Lombardi,
NSSA's lobbyist.
The assembly also passed unani
mously a bill that invites Kearney State
College and UNMC to join NSSA. It
requires a delegation consisting of
members of each member campus to
visit those institutions and invite them
to join.
In addition, the assembly unani
mously passed a bill that would
encourage Nebraska industries and
business to hire undergraduate stu
dents. The bill, sponsored by NSSA,
would provide incentives for industires
and businesses to hire students with
the hope that the students would stay
in Nebraska after .they graduate.
"We've developed a rather large
problem of exporting our students,"
said Pete Castellano, a former NSSA
delegate who has worked on the bill.
"This bill would attack that problem."
The bill would set up the Technology
Apprenticeship Program, which would
give a 25 percent wage reimbursement
to the employer for wages paid to
students who are provided jobs and
training by the employer. Not more
than $2,000 per year per student would
be, received as a reimbursement to
employers.
Castellano said the program would
give students valuable training and
experience and financial assistance
while they're in college.
He said the program would be funded
by the state. A similar bill in the State
Legislature is to be introduced this
week, Castellano said
Also on Saturday, the NSSA assembly
passed a bill that forms the Legislative
Coordinating Committee, which will
consist of two members from each
campus. The committee will research
other committees and develop com
munication between campuses.
The assembly voted down 21-29-1 a
bill that would require NSSA to pursue
the elimination of videotape instruction
in Nebraska colleges.
Students from Chadron State and
UNO were in favor of videotape in
struction because learning from a
television is far less educational than
learning from a human being.
"As st udents we're either going to be
taught by television or a human being,"
Hofmeister said. "We need to stand up
for what's right, not what's practical."
Doug Weems, a UNL delegate, said
that after researching videotape in
struction at UNL, he found that students
complained they had no one to address
their questions to.
"The TA is known as Captain Video,"
Weems said. The teaching assistants in
Accounting 201 don't know much except
how to plug the tapes in and start the
machine, he said.
NSSA delegates also passed a bill
supporting programs in the state that
are helping to alleviate the farm crisis
and a resolution condemning the
policies of apartheid in South Africa.
The resolution declares NSSA in favor
of economic sanctions against the
government of South Africa.
The new NSSA executive director,
Steve Linenburger, said he was
"relieved" that Saturdays' meeting
went smoothly, since the last meeting
in November was "a disaster," as many
students called it.
"(Saturday's meeting) potentially
could have been the demise of NSSA,"
he said after the meeting. "But we
worked together and left with a spirit
of compromise."
Leslie Dishong, delegate from
Chadron State, also was relieved and
happy with the meeting.
"I was very upset that we came all
that way (from Chadron to Peru for the
last meeting) and didn't get through
much of the agenda," Dishong said.
"The last one was total chaos. This one
was great, everyone was giving and
taking. I think NSSA is getting back on
track, and I'm looking forward to the
spring assembly."
