Undeclared to ASUN
General Studies are given voice
By Lee Rood

About 2,400 students in the area of gen
eral studies will now be able to be repre
sented in the Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska, said Andy Pollock,
ASUN president.
At an ASUN meeting Wednesday night,
Pollock said the Student Court approved a
decision, declaring general studies a college
for the purpose of ASUN representation.
Marlene Bcyke, director of development
for ASUN, said the decision can not be
official however, until two associate justices
of the studentcourt have signed the opinion.
In the student senate’s election March
9th, three senators may be elected to repre
sent students from the area of general stud
ies.
Pollock said giving general studies stu
dents representation in ASUN would help
unite undeclared students and give them a
voice on campus.
UNL administrators arc already trying to
centralize students in general studies, Pol
lock said, the student court decision just
goes along with that from a student angle.
In other business, AS UN passed a resolu
tion commending Gov. Kay Orr for her
commitment to higher education in Ne
braska for her proposed appropriation of
approximately S9 million for faculty sala
ries.
The resolution, sponsored by Sen. Pete
Castellano, also included that ASUN stand
firm that a tuition increase be no more than
25 percent of the whole increase for faculty
salaries.
Jeff Petersen, chairman of the Govern
ment Liaison Committee, encouraged sena
tors to attend the Legislature’s Appropria
tions Committee Hearing to show support
for faculty salary increases on Tuesday at
1:30 p.m.
Petersen said State Sen. Dave Landis
advised against students “packing” the hear
ing with students however, because the issue
is already well known.
‘It will be a mad rush to
the end. ’
-Pollock
John Bcrgmeyer, 2nd vice president for
ASUN, echoed Petersen’s request for con
tinued support for faculty salaries.
Bcrgmeyer said senators should be lead
ing the students in the fight for faculty salary
increases, and that they should attend all
GLC meetings to help members in their
lobbying effort.
Pollock said he is optimistic about the
chances of the Legislature appropriating
funds out of their budget for faculty salaries.
But, Pollock said, “it will be a mad rush
to the end,” to make sure ASUN’s conditions
on a limited tuition increase for faculty
salaries are followed.

From TOWING on Pagel
parking tickets, Burke said.
Burke said he receives many complaints
from students when their cars have been
towed, but there is nothing he can do at that
point.
“The key is to correspond with us first,”
he said.
Burke said students who don’t have
money to pay the parking tickets could be
kept off the impoundment list. Students also
can appeal a parking ticket they think has
been unlair, hut these options arc not valid
alter a car has been impounded.
The police department takes in about
$2(),(X)0 a month from parking tickets,
Burke said.
'‘It’s (towing) effective from he stand
point of collecting part of the tickets out
standing,” he said.
Burke said the parking ticket money
goes toward improving parking on campus
and acquiring new parking areas.

would be $2(X),(XX). Members said
they fell they couldn’t ask that from
student fees.
The UPC Executive Board re
quested an 88 percent increase from
CFA.
Moore said the board is asking for
$5,1(X) this year, opposed to last
year’s $2,711. The board expects to
be asked to do Party on the Plaza
again for the fall of 1988. The Execu
tive Board is an “all-encompassing”
category of UPC, Moore said.
Barb Mcistcr, executive board
coordinator for UPC, said the goal of
each committee is to end each fiscal
year with a zero balance to maximize
student fees.
CFA accepted its subcommittee
report on UPC Tuesday night.
The committee will discuss a
motion Thursday to look at Fund A
