    Recruitment position set up
YOST From Page 1
The stipend could be renewable, he
said.
Kevin Williams, graduate senator
in the Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska, had intro
duced a bill dealing with minority
recruitment to ASUN earlier this
semester. The bill, which ASUN
passed, directed ASUN executives to
write a letter to Yost and the proper
officials urging them to create the
minority graduate assistantship posi
tion.
In a letter to Williams, Yost said
that without Williams’ encourage
ment and support for the position, he
may have overlooked’the appoint
ment of a minority graduate assistant.
Williams said he became con
cerned about the issue a few months
ago after he read data on the number
of minority graduate students en
rolled at UNL during the fall 1988
semester.
During that semester, he said,
there were 10 black, five Native
American, 29 Asian and 21 Hispanic
full-time graduate students. Twenty
four blacks, two Native Americans,
10 Asians and 10 Hispanics were
part-time graduate students. There
are a total of 3,821 graduate students
at UNL, he said.
After seeing the figures, Williams
said, he decided something could be
done to increase the number of mi
nority graduate students.
“I thought there should be some
one in the graduate college whose
primary job would be to recruit mi
nority students,” Williams said.
“Someone incoming graduate stu
dents could identify with.”
Williams said he is pleased with
the job Yost has done concerning
minority graduate students. He said
Yost had already set up minority
scholarships and taken steps to im
prove the situation before he had
contacted him.
“It’s not like he hasn’t been
aware,” Williams said.
Williams said he thinks the posi
tion Yost has created will benefit
both white and minority students by
creating a more diversified student
population.
“I think it’s a helluva good step in
the right direction,” Williams said.
The announcement of the position
states that the individual must be a
racial/cthnic minority masters or
doctoral level student enrolled full
time in a program leading to a gradu
ate degree at UNL. The individual
must have interpersonal relations and
oral and written communication
skills, and should have experience in
word processing and data analysis.

Conway: Border
change is helpful
BORDER From Page 1
braska,” Conway said.
If the community is successful, he
said, Nebraska will profit.
“You can’t build a $20 million
project, which I can throw a baseball
at and hit from Nebraska,” without
having it enhance Nebraska’s econ
omy, Conway said.
The border change also will solve
problems of tax collection, he said.
Currently, one Nebraska family
living on the property generates $54
in property taxes, but has to send its
child to school in South Dakota, he
said. As a result, the Nebraska school
district that includes the 1,500 acres
* mustpay $3,000annually in tuition to
South Dakota.
Conway said it is also important
that Nebraska shows a spirit of coop
eration with South Dakota. He said
Orr has hesitated to cooperate with
South Dakota because Mickelson has
expressed concern about Nebraska’s
proposed low-level nuclear waste
dump. One of three finalist counties
for the dump is Boyd County, border
ing on South Dakota.
Conway said the border issue
gives Nebraska a chance to restore
good relations.
“I’d like to see it move along
rather smoothly,’ * he said. “The ear -
lier we get it to Congress, the faster
they can deal with it.”
South Dakota State Sen. Roland
Chicoine, who introduced the South
Dakota bill, said most of the property
in question is owned by South Dakota
farmers who are paying Nebraska
property taxes, but receiving no serv
ices.
Chicoine said there also is some
3ucstion as to who has jurisdiction in
le territory.
“If we had a murder or rape, we
wouldn’t know which state to try
them in,’’ he said.
Chicoine said that once the change
is made, the border will be set for
good. There is no chance that the
river will move again, he said, be
cause that portion of the channel is
now regulated by dams built by the
Army Corps of Engineers.
