Finally, Williams said, she would
push for the installation of a lighting
system on the emergency phones on
campus.
William said she got the idea from
Wayne State University in Detroit,
where blue lights were installed on
the emergency phones so students
would feel more secure and could
easily identify the phones in emer
gencies.
Piper, a junior advertising major,

situation on campus, as well as
women’s issues and multicultural
issues.

Warner told the committee that he
had introduced LB 1073 to provide
safety for items cither in the hands of
state organizations or buried in arche
ological sites. He said the sites must
be protected from poachers.
Under current law, he said, people
who intend to poach or destroy his
torical artifacts have ready access to
the historical society’s records.
Warner acknowledged the ques
tion of whether LB 1073 restricted the
news media too much. Defining a
safe position “which will preserve the
safety of the information and still
give the press access is a fine line,” he
said.
But, he said, “there is still a need to
protect the integrity of this informa
tion.”
Ronald Hunter, a member of the
Board of Directors for the historical
society, said LB 1073 was necessary
to keep Nebraska’s archeological sites
safe.
“I believe, under present law, that

ASUN could decrease the overselling
of parking lots and raise funds to pave
several lots, he said.
By increasing fines for parking
tickets that are not paid on time, he
said, a slush fund could be formed to
pay for the improvements.
Olaes, a sophomore French, com^
puter science and math major, said he
was interested in implementing pro
grams to promote awareness of cul
tural diversity on campus.
Olaes said he would implement
programs for members of all cultures
to interact and have a better under
standing of one another.
Williams said she was interested
in leading a clean campaign focused
strictly on issues that affect UNL.
“If we can’t prove our focus on
issues now and we become sidetracked
on dirty politics, then what is to say
what will happen when we arc in
office?” Williams said.
the artifacts out, and he asked for
information (on archeological sites),
we’d have to turn it over to him,” he
said.
Lester Mann, representing the
Nebraska Press Association, said he
was aware of the vandalism and raid
ing of archeological sites by unscru
pulous collectors.
“I certainly understand and appre
ciate the goals and purposes of
LB 1073,” he said. “We, as a society
in general, should take steps to pre
serve national and cultural history.”
But, he said, public awareness of
archeological sites, not secrecy, is the
solution to the problem.
“The point is there are very few
secrets in small towns” in the vicinity
of the archeological sites, he said.
Less damage would be done to the
sites, Mann said, if people were in
formed about the importance of the
artifacts contained in them.
Sandra George, director of the NPA,
told the committee she opposed the
bill because she thought it was not
specific enough about how and why
information could be kept secret by
public institutions.
“The loopholes are so wide you
could drive a truck through,” she said.
“People could deny any rights (to
access information) to anyone if they
didn’t like the look in their eye.”
Low ASUN attendance
postpones action on bill
By Kara Morrison
Staff Reporter
Because AS UN didn’t have a
quorum Wednesday night, senators
failed to address a bill that would
have urged UNL officials to spend
unexpectedly acquired funds on class
room equipment.
A construction
bid for the addi
tion to ihc College
of Business Ad
ministration build- Sj/ifff
ing was S520,000 fj-b&'f T j
less than had been 1
expected.
On Feb. 3, University of Nebraska
President Martin Massengale requested
permission from the Nebraska Legis
lature to spend the left-over funds.
Business senators said they wanted
to ensure that the funds would be used
to purchase “badly needed” class
room equipment forCBA.
Business Sen. Heidi Putcnscn said
that she and other business senators
were afraid that Massengale and
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Chancellor Graham Spanier would
ask the Legislature to re-appropriate
the funds for other projects.
Putensen said a bill to discourage
this action would have been brought
up on emergency status if enough
senators had been present to vote.
The ASUN bill stated that “his
torical precedent has always been to
spend money allocated to a particular
project on that specific project.”
Putensen said the bill was impor
tant because Spanier would be at
tending a hearing before the Legisla
ture’s Appropriations Committee
today.
Letters outlining AS UN’s inten
tions of voting on the bill at Wednes
day night’s meeting were sent to
Spanier and state legislators, she said.
Putensen said the senators’ failure
to attend the meeting and discuss the
bill made the Association of Students
of the University of Nebraska look
foolish.
“Wc arc shooting ourselves in the
foot,” she said. “Wc can’t expect others
to take us seriously if we don’t follow
through when its important.”
The Computing Resource Center is offering free1
microcomputer seminars to UNL students. The seminars will
feature an introduction to Microsoft Wad for the Macin
tosh and WordPerfect fa IBM machines.
