Color.
At ASUN’s first meeting in 1992,
the senate will vote on whether to
keep the subcommittee.
If the senate does not keep the sub
committee, the commission will work
to find an acceptable solution for both
ASUN and minority students*
If at any time the commission
doesn’t fulfill its directives, the sub
committee will immediately come to
a vote before ASUN.
Thomlison said the reason for the
immediate vote stipulation is to
“prevent ASUN from dropping the
ball.”
Pat Jilek said he thinks the sub
committee is a “worthwhile cause.”
“(Minority students) set the crite
ria for renewal,'” he said.
In other action, ASUN passed a
bill instructing the Government Liai
son Committee to lobby the Nebraska
Legislature for support for the Beadle
Center, higher faculty salaries, a
minimum increase in tuition and stu
dent input on the strengthened Coor
dinating Commission for Postsecon
dary Education.
College of Business Sen. Heidi
Putensen said the George W. Beadle
Center for Genetics and Biomaterials
Research is not an issue of student
interest.
“It’s not a student issue as much as
an administrative issue,” she said.
GLC Chair Andrew Sigerson dis
agreed, saying it is important for ASUN
to keep pressure on the Legislature.
ASUN President Andy Massey also
said it is important for GLC to lobby
over the summer.
“Otherwise,” he said, “you’re hold
ing up three months of action.”
Thomlison said the bill left the
breadth of lobbying activities some
what open to GLC because ASUN
will not be meeting over the summer
to react to problems that might arise, i
The senate also passed a resolu
tion asking Interim Chancellor Jack
Goebel and other university officials
to voice their opinions to Gov. Ben
Nelson about appointing a student to
the Nebraska Coordinating Commis
sion for Postsecondary Education.
On April 24, ASUN failed to pass
a similar amendment to a resolution
encouraging Nelson to appoint a stu
dent.
College of Business Sen. Rob
Broomfield introduced the bill.
‘This shows (ASUN) has already
taken action . . . and just asks for
support,” he said.

norities was released. The report rec
ommended increasing the number of
minority faculty members and stu
dents at the university.
Goebel said the report’s sugges
tions will take time to implement.
“We have a report in front of us.
Trying to get it operational is going to
take some time,” he said. “Some of
these issues you simply can’t resolve
in six months.
“We’re going to take the minority
report and decide where we have been
and what needs to be done.”
But MAS A President-elect Emilia
Juarez, a senior Spanish and English
major, told Goebel that Mexican -
American students want to see results
from the administration.
“We would like more of an active
participation by the administration,”
she said.
One of the ignored issues, the
protesters said, is the small number of
Mexican-American faculty members.
Ness Sandoval, a junior business
administration major and MASA
member, said there are five Mexican -
American faculty members at UNL.
“That’s the same number as in
1977,” he said.
Sanchez said there needs to be
active recruitment and retention of
Mexican-American faculty members
at UNL to provide role models for
students.
UNL does not have a Mexican
American community, Sanchez said,
and many Mexican-Americans feel
isolated.
Sandoval said one Mexican-Ameri
can faculty member is transferring to
Ogden, Utah.
“They came here and recruited
him. There was a huge demand from
the Chicano students there,” Sando
val said.

established during former Gov. Kay
Orr’s administration.
“The particular (joke) issue proba
bly would have been removed,” he
said. “Nothing against the editorial
board or staff, but because of our
sexual harassment policy” the joke
issue may not have been allowed for
distribution.
Brian Rockey, a spokesman for
Gov. Ben Nelson, said it was his
impression that the department possi
bly was trying to eliminate a direct
connection between the state and the
university.
“If a citizen or visitor sees it (the*
joke issue), they get the impression
it’s directly related to the state,” he
.said.
Dan Shattil, DN general manager,
said he received a telephone call late
Tuesday morning from an adminis
trative services official asking that
the papers not be distributed in the
Capitol and State Office Building any
longer because of the joke issue.
Shattil said the Daily Nebraskan
has been delivered to these locations
for at least nine years.
“We usually get complaints that
there are not enough papers at these
locations,” he said.
Shattil said he has decided to con
tinue service to the two locations
through the week unless conditions
change.
Eric Pfanner, Daily Nebraskan
editor, said it was clear that the policy
change was based on the joke issue.
“I was pretty shocked. There is no
grounds' to justify banning based on
one issue,” he said.
Pfanner said he called the Student
Press Law Center in Washington for
legal advice and that a legal intern at
the center stated the issue was one of
censorship and a violation of the First
Amendment.
The intern told Pfanner, he said,
that the decision violates distribution
rights and that the decision to remove
the papers probably differed from a
“time, place and manner restriction,”
which is legal.
State Sen. David Landis of Lin
coln said he wrote a letter Wednesday
to the Department of Administrative
Services that suggests the Dailjp
Nebraskan, other than the joke issue,
is “newsworthy and serves a journal
istic purpose.’’Pfanner said there are
other long-term solutions to the prob
lem, such as legal action, but that the
administrative services office may
realize the legal violation and reverse
its policy.
