Debate focuses on student support
FUND A From Page 1
college said that he wasn’t against
COLAGE, but he didn’t think the
group should be student fee financed.
He said COLAGE has proven that it
can successfully co-sponsor events,
citing a recent Mardis Gras dance
COLAGE received donations for.
However, Munn also said the re
sults of die 1987 election show that
the majority of studenLs do not want
to finance the group.
After the amendment deleting
funds to COLAGE was passed, Sen.
Brian Svoboda of the arts and sci
ences college sponsored an amend
ment to withdraw $746 worth of
funding from the homecoming com
mittee’s budget
Svoboda said the $746 was a
symbolic figure of the funding which
was denied to COLAGE. But, he
said, he was serious about the amend
ment because homecoming excludes
vast majorities of students.
Svoboda said he thought the sena
tors made their decision to deny fund
ing to COLAGE based on a combina
tion of pressure from small constitu
ent groups and their ow n biases.
“Once again ASUN has made it
clear that it is not prepared to take a
courageous stand on a controversial
issue,” Svoboda said.
Gromow'sky amended Svoboda’s
amendment to do away with the en
tire $3,214 which CFA had approved
for the homecoming committee.
Sen. Chip Dreesen of the arts and
sciences college said he agreed with
Gromowsky’s amendment abolish
ing the homecoming committee be
cause if funding is denied to one
organization that only certain stu
dents use, it should be denied to all
organizations because only some
students use those.
Both amendments failed after
senators complained about the lack of
seriousness in the discussions.
After the meeting, Jorgensen said
she wasn’t “particularly surprised”
by the amendment to deny funding to
COLAGE, but she was disappointed.
Jorgensen said she was especially
disappointed that the senators voted
to end debate before everyone was
given a chance to speak on the matter.
She said she thought that Dave Madi
gan, president of the UPC-City, had
comments which could have mllu
enced many senators' votes.
Nanci Hamilton, co-chair of
COLAGE, said the group will appeal
the ASUN decision to Vice Chancel
lor for Student Affairs James Griescn
and Chancellor Martin Massengalc.
“The funding is being denied for
an obvious reason - homophobia,
Hamilton said.
Hamilton said ASUN failed to
evaluate funding for COL AGE on the
merits which they used to decide
funding for other committees.
Such merits include how much
money the committee spent during
the past year, how well it was spent,
and the number of people who at
tended the events with regard to con
tent.
In other UPC budget changes, the
UPC-Easl executive committee had
it’s allocation of $755 reduced to
$658.
The Association of Students of the
University Nebraska approved CFA
recommendations for the Daily Ne
braskan and ASUN.
AS UN supports NU study

could get this way in other colleges
as well.”
Griescn said the quality ol edu
cation often supersedes financial
concerns. In the early 1980s, for
example, UNL officials raised tui
tion to cover mid-year legislative
budget cuts that could have hurt
the caliber of instruction.
Senators also unanimously
passed a bill that supports a study
of the expansion of the NU system.
The bill slates that ASUN op
poses integrating Kearney State

College into the NU system during
the current legislative session 7 he
Legislature is considering a hill
that would make KSC part of the
university.
Debbie Fiddcike, student lob
byist for GLC. said state Sen Ron
Withem of Papillion, Orr and the
NU Regents support such a study.
FI ill said supporting the stud)
without necessarily opposing the
addition of KSC is the right move
politically. He said debate over the
issue would only intensify if offi
cials oppose the proposal without
understanding it in depth.

Policy requires adherence to rules
UPC from Page 1
police officers were denied entrance
by house officers, Cauble said.
Under the policy, denying en
trance would put the house in viola
tion of the proposal and, in turn, the
house would be tried by the Greek
Judiciary Board.
“Our major concern is the safety
and welfare of the residents,” Cauble
said. “We are not just going to be
strolling through the greck units.”
Brunz also questioned the portion
of the proposal that would enforce
visitation hours. Current opposite
sex visitation is restricted between
the hours of 2 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Brunz said visitation hours are an
issue of morality. The university, he
said, shouldn’t be able to tell a person
when he or she has to leave.
Griesen said he has received let
ters and calls from parents and others
complaining that current visitation
hours are “liberal.”
The possibility of changing the
visitation proposal isn’t “out of the
question,” he said, but it would be
difficult to get a change approved.
“It’s a sensitive issue,” Griesen
said.
Sue Ann Anthony, a sophomore
member of Alpha Chi Omega, she
said she thinks fraternities are
“picked on” more than the residence
halls.
“It seems like the rules arc more
strict for fraternities . . . they are
looked after more,” Anthony said.
Cauble said the proposal is one
that will benefit everyone because
greek officers will be more aware of
their responsibilities and will pass
this information along to their mem
bers.
Brun/ said he thinks further oppo
sition to the proposal will come up.
“Before, it was like a common
law', and now that their rules are writ
ten and official, it just creates more
hard feelings,” Brun/ said.
Cohabitation hurts marriage, study says
By Scott Cook
Staff Reporter
Couples that live together before
getting married generally have more
problems than those who don’t, ac
cording to a study conducted by Uni
versity of Nebraska-Uncoln sociol
ogy professors David Johnson and
Alan Booth.
Johnson said that couples who
lived together before marriage
tended to encounter more instability,
unhappiness and less interaction.
He said there were several causes
for these problems.
“People who cohabitatc have dif
fereni values than those who don’t,”
Johnson said. “Marriage might not
be as sacred to them.”
Johnson said things such as aliena
tion and estrangement from parents
that occur while the couple is living
together may have a detrimental ef
fect on the marriaee.
“Often times people don’t want
their parents to know, and this can
cause problems,” Johnson said.
The study, which began in 1980,
involved more than 1,500, mostly
non-minority married people across
the United States.
Of these couples, 16 percent to 17
percent had lived with their spouse
before marriage. Johnson and Booth
surveyed the couples again in 198.1
and 1988 to determine the status of
their marriages.
“We wanted to find the factors
that determine why some marriages
don’t work,” Johnson said.
Chambers: Stipend legislation
would pressure the NCAA
FOOTBALL From Page 1
have a job and must “spend more
lime outside the classroom than in
it,” Chambers said, for which they
receive no compensation.
Football players with scholarships
face unfair restrictions that students
with other scholarships do not, he
said.
The rules football players must
follow should apply to every scholar
ship student or the players should be
treated as any other student, he said.
College football at the level of
schools such as Nebraska and Okla
homa is not an amateur sport, but a
“mulli-million-dollar business,”
Chambers said.
“Everybody is making money on
these players, but the pretense is put
out there that this is amateur athlet
ics,” he said.
The bill would not make Ne
braska’s players professionals, he
said. .
No one else spoke for or against
the bill at the public hearing.
Chambers said this bill is part of a
“trilogy” of bills he is sponsoring
this year aimed at taking action on
NCAA rules. One bill requires the
NCAA to follow Nebraska’s doe
process law and the other bill encour
ages the NCAA to allow the full value
of Pell Grants to be given to athletes.
These two bills were advanced out of
committee two weeks ago.
Griesen to investigate conduct
of student, Phi Gammma Delta
SANCTIONS From Page 3
Phi Gamma Delta was placed on
probation and members were re
quired to attend a series of student
health alcohol abuse programs.
University and grcck program
ming should be sufficient to fill stu
dents’ social needs, Anderson said,
and to keep large parties and inci
dents like sexual assault from hap
pening.
“The more you take advantage of
what the university has to offer... the
belter you do,” Anderson said. “We
must work hard to make sure the
environment is conducive to tne edu
cational atmosphere of the Univer
sity of Nebraska.
Griesen said he also will investi
gate the conduct of Steven L. Ernst,
die 20-year-old Phi Gamma Delta
member arrested on charges of first
degree sexual assault.
“I would anticipate actions
against the student,” Griesen said.
Ernst, a UNL student from Colum
bus, appeared in Lancaster County
Court Monday and was released on
10 percent of a $25,000 bond. He is
scheduled to appear in court again at
9 a.m. Feb. 27.
