ASUN OKs planning committee Massey excluded, speaker says By Adeana Leftin Senior Reporter AS UN senators passed legislation Wednesday that creates a five-year planning committee with the Gov ernment Liaison Committee in an advisory position but gives the presi dent little input. Speaker of the Senate Steve Th omlison said the ^ planning commit- ^ tee was a good |i. idea but that the li senate had made L a mistake in not including the ASUN president in the process. “The makeup, without any input from the student body president, is a very dangerous direction to go,” he said. The planning committee was cre ated to research different areas of the university and, if approved by ASUN President Andy Massey, will submit a report to the senate describing a vision for the area in five years. The committee will be headed by the second vice president of the Asso ciation of Students of the University of Nebraska, and four at-large mem bers will be appointed by the Ap pointments Board. Thomlison said the president should appoint the four at-large members. He said that because the second vice president isn’t elected on the same ticket as the president, and the two won’t always share opinions. In the case of an adverse relation ship between the second vice presi dent and the president, Thomlison said the president would have no input on the committee. Massey said that he had no reser , vations about allowing the Appoint ments Board, headed by the speaker of the senate, to select committee members this year but that he feared for future years. Thomlison agreed. “You’re not always going to have such a great speaker,” he said. In other business, AS UN approved campaigning rules for next spring’s senate election.

He estimated that the English department would have to add 10 new faculty to teach the classics courses. If that money cannot be found, he said, then other programs will be af fected extensively. His testimony was the department’s final appearance before the BRRC. However, if the committee votes to endorse the recommendation to cut the department, the department will receive another chance to testify be fore the Academic Planning Com mittee. In other business, the BRRC passed a motion by John Peters, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, to vote on all budget recommendations unre lated to the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources on Monday. BRRC will vote on the IANR today.

As a result, the committee mem bers have had to make cuts in their time budgets. Most of those cuts fall in research areas and in their personal lives. If leaching didn’t remain the top priority, said June Levine, professor of English, it would be equivalent to “the tail wagging the dog.” Lloyd Ambrosius, a professor of history, said that he refused to sacri fice his classroom obi igations, but his reading, research and writing have been sacrificed to make time for the BRRC. “1 need to catch up on reading and writing commitments that I hoped to have accomplished by now,” Ambro sius said. Wheeler, Levine and Kean also said their research had been delayed, and Wheeler said he had to find time to finish writing a chapter of a book by December. Hendrickson said that making BRRC one of his top priorities meant sacrifices for him also. “I do most of my regular work on weekends, I’m not always available for library events and I’ve had to cancel several out-of-town meetings,” he said. Fortunately, Kean said, co-work ers and students have been “pretty positive” about her role as a BRRC member. When the budget cuts are over, these five BRRC members said they hoped to return to their regular sched ules. “It will be wonderful to live a more normal life,” Levine said. What will she do with her free time? “Maybe my laundry,” Levine said. Levine also plans to continue her professional writing and plan her spring semester courses, which would nor mally have been planned by now, she said. Sixteen of the 28 BRRC members also serve on the Academic Planning Committee, which will make the fi nal decision on budget cuts with the recommendations of the BRRC. APC members were included auto matically into BRRC, said Hen drickson, an APC member. Other faculty and staff BRRC members were selected by the Academic Senate and by university administration, he said. BRRC members hope to be fin ished with budget cuts by the end of fall semester, Levine said.
