Service offers free legal advice I
By Emily Rosenbaum
Staff Reporter___
Students who need an attorney
have an alternative to using an entire
paycheck to pay for an hour of legal
advice.
Free legal counsel is available
through the Student Legal Services
Center, part of the Association of
Students of the University of Ne
braska.
Student Legal Services is funded
by student tees and is handled
through student government. Every
semester each UNL student pays
$1.27 in student fees to finance the
service. Started in 1976, the center
offers free legal advice and represen
tation to students with legal concerns.
Most of the cases involve misde
meanors and traffic violations, said
Shelley Stall, attorney and director of
the center. In March, 45 percent of
the cases handled involved misde
meanor and traffic charges. Legal
services closed 108 cases in March
1989 compared to 84 cases in March
1988.
) “I’m excited because the statistics
are going up,” Stall said. “Students
, are using the service more and more
I each year.’.’
The first step for a student who
> wants to use legal services is to make
? an appointment with one of the two
; attorneys at the center. During the
'/ scheduled meeting, the attorney will
listen to the student’s problem and

offer legal advice. The attorney will
represent the student in court if nec
essary or refer the student to another
source, such as a private attorney.
Stall said a referral is needed when
the case involves a large settlement.
A student may also be advised to take
a case to small claims court.
In addition to misdemeanor and
traffic cases, legal services handles
landlord/tenant, consumer, family
law, employment and business prob
lems. Landlord/tenant cases made up
the second largest percentage of
cases for March this year. Twenty
one cases were closed, and in one of
those cases a student recovered $950
in a dispute with a landlord.
Student Legal Services also pub
lishes a handbook which gives basic
legal information to students. The
handbook offers advice on how to
handle auto accidents, student disci
pline, sexual harassment and race and
sex discrimination. It also tells stu
dents how to win in small claims
court.
Students are not always aware of I
where they stand in terms of the law,
Stall said. They often don’t realize
that legal action can be sought in
many circumstances, she said. ®
Q Scholarships available
? UNL welcomes minority students
By Deanne Nelson
Senior Editor
7 The past year has brought in
'{. creased action by state and Univcr
' sity of Nebraska-Lincoln officials to
? make UNL a more warm and accept
fj ing place for student minorities, said
/ Paul Miles, special assistant to Vice
« Chancellor for Student Affairs James
J Griesen.
State action has come in the form
of a bill passed by the Legislature that
allots $1 million in minority scholar
ship funding, said Peg Johnson, di
a rector of special projects for Griesen.
/ About $800,000 of the funding will
be state-supported, she said.
University officials also have sup
ported cultural diversity, Miles said.
Griesen and Robert Furgason,
vice chancellor for academic affairs,
have requested reports from college
deans and university depariments’as
to what they are doing for student and

faculty minorities, Miles said.
Although the university tries to
make all students feel welcome,
Miles said, officials’ recent efforts
have been aimed at minority students
in particular.
4 4 Last year was deemed the year of
appreciating cultural diversity (at the
university), and definite support was
shown by Chancellor Martin Massen
gale and other administrators,” he
said.
The growth of this appreciation
also can be seen in increased student
and faculty interest in the variety of
cultural and cross-cultural organiza
tions at UNL, Miles said.
Campus organizations designated
as Ethnic Minority groups include the
Afrikan People’s Union, the Mexican
American Student Association, the
Native American Students Associa
tion and the Vietnamese Student
Organization.
UNL organizations designated as
International groups include the Chi
nese Student Association, the Free
China Association, the India Asso
ciation, the International Student
Organization, the Korean Student
Association, the Malaysian Student
Association, the Nigerian Students
Association, the Organization of
Arab Students, Permais (Indonesian)
and International House.
Information about these organiza
tions can be obtained by contacting
the Campus Activities and Programs
office, 200 Nebraska Union, for a
brochure. There is also a CAP office
on the third floor of the East Campus
Union.
DREAM, Developing Realistic
Educational Activities for Minori
ties, is a cross-cultural organization
which was started last year to bridge
gaps between the aforementioned
campus organizations and to foster
“involvement from a cross-cultural
perspective,” Miles said.
“DREAM is a combination of all
the groups’ voices and tries to address
problems facing minorities,” he
said.
Miles said a trial-and-error period
last year showed that there was
enough interest for DREAM to be
come a reality. Since DREAM was in
an embryonic stage in the spring of
1988, the group was not formally
recognized until a year later.
“It has been tough to deal with
going across the cultures because of
certain sensitivities,” Miles said.
Johnson agreed and said “there
arc many sensitive issues which need
to be addressed. One of them is the
ignorance within and between the
groups.”
“Part of students’ overall educa
tion is learning about different
people, and you can’t get that from a
book,” she said.
Miles added: “The best thing
about these groups for new students,
and not only minority students, is that
they may come to the university not
knowing anybody and can go to any
one of these groups and be ac
cepted.”
