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.

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."
