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.
As of the first Monday after Thanks
giving, advertisements for meetings,
personal mailings and appearances
before organizations to raise funds
and gain support can begin. *
Visual campaigning, including, but
not limited to, posters, banners, but
tons, visuals on clothing, booths and
fliers are prohibited until Feb. 12,
1992. Posters cannot be displayed

sics is eliminated, it will cost more for
other departments such as English to
teach classics courses. 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.

chairwoman and associate professor
of textiles, clothing and design, said
that “after reading the statements...
thinking lime is required to piece all
the information together.”
Kent Hendrickson, professor and
dean of libraries, said he knew the
process would be time-consuming but
said it has taken even more time than
he expected.
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.
