RHA begins presidential impeachment process
By Janel Fuhrman
Staff Reporter
University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s
Residence Hall Association unani
mously passed a resolution in execu
tive session on a secret ballot to start
impeachment proceedings against
Russ Johnson, president of the asso
ciation.
Peg Kalvoda, RHA treasurer, said
the Senate went into executive ses
sion because senators were uncertain
if the bill would be passed and they
wanted to prevent the information
from being released before the Senate
came to a decision.
Executive sessions require that
only official members be present.
The call for impeachment was “for
failure of Johnson to discharge the
duties of his office as of Feb. 8,1988,
and for the commission of several acts
which were judged to be unfitting for
a person holding the office of RHA
President,” twelve RHA members
stated in the signed impeachment
resolution.
Johnson was given previous writ
ten and oral notice to be present to
represent himself, but because of a
previous engagement was unable to
attend, said Shari Klippenstein, RHA
adviser.
Johnson could not be reached for
comment
This is only the first step in the
impeachment process. Next, RHA
will file a petition with the RHA
Judicial Board, which will then vote
on whether to impeach, said Harper
Sen. Chris Lehan. A two-thirds vote is
needed for impeachment, he said.
The specific reasons behind the
impeachment are being withheld
pending a RHA Judicial Hearing.
In other business, ACTION candi
dates for ASUN Jeff Petersen, Nate
Geisert and Kim Beavers told RHA
members they would like to see better
communication between ASUN and
residence hall students.
UNL organization helps needy families
By Adam T. Branting
Staff Reporter
Five members of the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln Student Social
Work Organization got a taste of
their profession Thursday by helping
the Nebraska Department of Social
Services distribute food to needy
families.
The group helped other vol unteers
distribute rice, flour, cheese and
powdered milk at the Naval Reserve
Building, 1625 N. 10th St.
More than 7,000 families received
goods in the quarterly government
program in the last two days. Three
semi-truckloads of food were distrib
uted.
Brenda Bagger, president of the
UNL social work organization, said
the project changed her views on who
she thought would receive govern
ment assistance.
Families and the elderly are
helped, she said.
The students got favorable com
ments from Doug Fleischer, coordi
nator for the food distribution. Fleis
cher said he enjoyed the students and
they were a valuable source of help.
“It’s the community helping the
community,” he said. “(Volunteer
ing) makes people feel good, and it’s
a less dollar cost.”
Bagger said the student group is
organized with the University of
Nebraska at Omaha School of Social
Work for undergraduates. Bagger
said UNL and UNO clubs have three
goals this year: to support one an
other, to get some recognition for the
group and to do projects for the good
of the community.
“All the different people are inter
ested in different things, but the idea
of helping people is kind of what
brings us together as a group,”
Bagger said.
Scott Goering, a UNL senior and
member of the student group, said
members “try to help contribute to
social work as a whole, and it’s a
good experience.”
The group now has 17 members,
and anyone with a social-work major
can join.
“Social work is becoming a good
field to get into; there is more money
now,” Bagger said. “Also, I think
students are, in general, returning to
care about people.”
Black athletes topic of Edwards speech
By Anne Mohri
Senior Reporter
Harry Edwards, professor of soci
ology at the University of California
at Berkeley, will speak on the exploi
tation of black athletes tonight in the
Nebraska Union.
Edwards will speak on the impor
tance of school books rather than play
books for black athletes, said Tonya
Hom, chairperson of Black Special
Events. The exploitation of black
athletes begins at home and contin
ues through to college sports, Hom
said. She said coaches make prom
ises to athletes that are not always
kept.
Edwards also blames athletes for
their own exploitation, Horn said,
because they need to take care of
themselves.
Horn said black athletes often go
through college without learning
because they plan on playing profes
sional sports. Some athletes graduate
from college and are unable to make
a professional team. Horn said some
times the athletes are unable to read.
Horn said Edwards will talk about
the importance of blacks in profes
sional sports administration.
Edwards spoke at the Big Eight
Black Student Government Confer
ence in 1987 at the University of
Oklahoma, she said.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
students who attended the confer
ence said they wanted Edwards to
speak here because his message was
dynamic and they saw similar prob
lems with the black athletes at UNL.
Horn said the students wanted
UNL’s black athletes to hear him
speak.
Although students can no longer
buy tickets for the banquet before the
speech, they can purchase tickets to
hear Edwards in the Nebraska Union
Ballroom, she said. Edwards is
scheduled to speak at about 8 p.m.
Tickets are $2 for non-students and
$1 for students.
