Bylaw would reduce meetings Change includes appearance before Academic Senate By Angie Brunkow 1 Staff Reporter The Academic Senate will discuss a proposed bylaw change today that would reduce the number of times Chancellor Graham Spanicr is re quired to meet with its executive com mittee. Leo Chouinard, a math and statis tics senator, said the chancellor was required to meet with the senate’s executive committee every other week. ■mm The change would R require the chancel - U lor to meet wtyi the ■ executive commii ■ tee only twice a month, and allow SENATE"10, chancellor 10 replace one of the executive meetings with an appear ance before the entire senate. When the original bylaw was writ ten, the chancellor did not usually appear before the senate, but Spanier does, Chouinard said. Chouinard said the senate would also discuss a bylaw change requiring Joan Lcitzel, senior vice chancellor for academic affairs, to meet with the executive committee once a month. Chouinardsaid the executive com mittee met regularly with Leitzel.but it wanted to preserve that relationship for the future. “We don’t have protected bylaws access to her,”Tie said. In other business, the academic senate will hear reports from the UNL campus police, parking advisory com mittee, libraries committee, employee benefits, salary study and committee on committees.' Chouinard said he didn’t expect the reports to cause any controversy. But “you never know,” he said. Fake campaign posters found at UNL By Jeff Zeleny Senior Reporter Fake campaign posters claiming support for the VOICE party were found on the University of Nebraska Lincoln campus Monday. Andrew Sigerson, Associa tion of Students of the University of Nebraska presi dent, filed a com plaint in the ASUN office, alleging sign tampering by student Rob Noha. Sigerson was alerted to the signs during Monday’s ASUN debate by ASUN senator Jason Vogel. Sigerson approached Noha and discovered sev eral posters in his possession. Sigerson said Noha was wearing a PARTY sticker, but also said he was probably not representing that party. “I believe they did not do it,” he said. Noha said the allegations were false, and had nothing to do with ASUN politics. ‘T had nothing to do with the signs,” he said. “Me and (Andrew) Sigerson aren’t friends. I think it was kind of personal.” Noha said that Sigerson lied in his complaint form. -44 I’m not accusing any one of PARTY’S executives or managers, but obviously It came from somewhere. --Steele VOICE first vice-presidential candidate -99 “ In the report filed by Sigerson, he wrote that Noha told him he would never be able to prove the charges. Sigerson could not be reached for further comment. Leslie Strong, PARTY first vice presidential candidate, said Noha was a PARTY supporter, but not an active campaign worker. “Obviously he was more involved than I thought,” Strong said. Steve Dietz, PARTY presidential candidate, said Noha was a personal friend, but Dietz did not authorize or have any knowledge of the signs prior to their distribution. “If the intentions were to help us out, I’m sorry that happened,” Dietz said. One poster, confiscated by Sigerson, had Trent Steele’s name signed on the back, but Steele, VOICE first vice-presidential candidate, said the signature was wasn’t his. “I certainly did not sign anything like that,” Steele said. “I’m not accus ing any one of PARTY’S executives or managers, but obviously it came from somewhere. “It detracts from the real issue of j the campaign," he said. Steele said the signs could have been the work of an overzcalous vol unteer. Noha said the signs probably came from the VOICE party itself. “I have no proof of this, but the VOICE party put these out to blame us,” Noha said. “It is a desperate attempt."
