    Veto keeps senators on committee
By Angie Brunkow
Staff Reporter_
AS UN President Andrew Sigerson
vetoed Wednesday a senate decision
to have students at large replace sena
tors on the Five-Year Projection Com
mittee. ,
Sigerson said thecommittee, which
makes recommendations to the Asso
ciation of Students of the University
of Nebraska about improvements for
campus, needs more senate represen
tation.
Last week, senators voted to re
place senators with students at large
because senators believed they were
too busy with other activities and
committees.
j Sigerson fa
vored replacing
senators on the
committee last
’■■.‘‘““p' week. But he said
he decided that
senators should
serve on the com
mittee despite their workload because
AS UN ’ s primary job was to represent
students.
“It’s irresponsible of us to try to get
out of it,” he said.
Speaker of the Senate Andrew
Loudon said the Appointments Board
already had appointed students to the
five positions.
Sigerson said he would support a
bill that gave three of the senate posi
tions to students at large and left two
positions to senators. That bill will be
considered next week.
In other business, ASUN passed a
resolution recommending that next
year’s campus maps mark emergency
phones and list the numbers of the
campus escort service, University
Health Center and the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department.
Harmonizing with Mother Earth
By Trish Spencer
Staff Reporter_
The 500-year war that began with
the arrival of Christopher Columbus
in 1492 won’t end until Americans
understand what the war is about, an
internationally known Native Ameri
can speaker said.
Reuben Snake, a member of the
Winnebago Tribe, spoke at the Cul
ture Center Tuesday during a Nebras
kans for Peace event.
Snake said the struggle was not
between races, but between people
who had respect for the Earth and
people who did not.
Intuitive thinkers believe in a
Mother Earth with a spirit, he said.
They want to maintain balance and
harmony rather than dominate the
Earth.
Rational thinkers practice a new
religion called scientism, Snake said.
For them, something must be proved
or it doesn’t exist.
“Scientism says there is no need to
believe in a divine power,” Snake
said. “This is where rational thinking
has led us.”
He said this thinking also had led to
the destruction of the Earth’s re
sources, because rational thinkers saw
everything as objects.
When people came to the New
World, they came to the Garden of
Eden, he said.
“Everything was here, and we de
stroyed it all in our hunger.”
Now, 4 percentof the Earth’s popu
lation consumes40percentof its natu
ral resources each year, he said.
This kind of living cannot continue
if the Earth is to survive, he said.
“Un less we change direction, we’ re
going to wind up where we’re headed.”
Snake said he hoped that things
would change. Albert Einstein was a
rational thinker, Snake said, yet he
recognized that everything was con
nected by a greater power.
If Einstein recognized this, then so
can other rational thinkers, Snake said.
Ending the 500-year war requires an
attitude change, he said.
To bring about the change, Native
Americans must keep singing, chant
ing and praying, he said.

The deficit is something “my gen
eration is passing on to your genera
tion. We spent money we didn’t have,
and now we need to make adjust
ments,” Fisher said.
Another major concern of both
candidates is the environment.
Fisher said a realistic environmen
tal initiative was needed and alterna
tive energy resources should be stud
ied.
Barrett said that as people turned
their thoughtsaway from the military,
they would turn thciraiicniion toward
the environment.
He said he also was involved in
government reform and hoped people
would vote for him based on his integ
rity and experience.
Fisher said the United States was
"created by non-professional politi
cians, and that was when it was at its
best.
“It’s difficult to change the system
if you are a product of the system,”
Fisher said. “Lowell Fisher is not a
product of the system.”
