Senators ask for 2nd student on academic committee
By Matthew Waite
Staff Reporter
ASUN Wednesday night passed a
bill recommending a second student
be added to the university’s Academ
ic Planning Committee.
The recommen
dation will be sent
to Chancellor Gra
ham Spanier for fi
nal approval. The
addition would re
quire a change in
the university’s by
laws.
Another bill rakes Associated Press football voters over coals
The Central Planning Committee,
which has disbanded, and the Aca
demic Planning Committee are the
twostrategic planning committees set
up in the University of Nebraska
Lincoln bylaws.
“Basically ... CPC had two (stu
dent) representatives and APC had
one,” Engineering Sen. Shane Ham
said.
Keith Benes, president of the As
sociation of Students of the Universi
ty of Nebraska, said Tuesday he was
concerned with the loss of a student
representative.
The measure, proposed by Benes,
would add a second student to the
Academic Planning Committee,
which will assume most duties the
Central Planning Committee held
before the disbanding.
Ham said the two student repre
sentatives would be an undergraduate
student and a graduate student.
The measure passed by a unani
mous vote.
Another bill supporting the dis
banding of the Central PlanningCom
mittee also passed unanimously.
ASUN then took what Benes said
earlier was a “lighthearted” jab at the
Associated Press voters who nave crit
icized the NU football team. Benes
said he wrote the bill for senators to
relieve stress.
Thebill, which states it was prompt
ed by ASUN’s “long-standing guide
line of not trusting the media,” recom
mended AP disband its group of vot
ers. It encouraged AP to select new
pollsters who “have at least watched
college football.”
The bill also wished a “pox on the
grandchildren of the five pollsters
who have the Cornhuskers rated low
er than third.”
General Studies Sen. Mark Byars
said he thought the bill was creative.
“I think this bill is extremely hilar
ious,” Byars said.
The bill passed by a unanimous
vote.

purely voluntary, with the buyout a
fringe benefit, he said.
“It’s not likely to take too many
people away,” he said. “For every
sen ior professor who takes advantage
of it, two more are likely to stay past
65 years of age.”
Link said the program saved mon
ey. But Spaniersaid the savings were
relative.

Alt hough older professors are paid
more, upcoming professors arc com
manding higher salaries, Spaniersaid.
“Most of the time, an assistant
professor salary is not as high as a
tenured professor, but that is not al
ways the case,” Spanier said.
Spanier said the overall impact of
the tenure dec line would be small. He
said the current percentage of tenured
professors was “just about right.”
“Right now, about two out of three
professors have tenure,” he said. “In
my view, it’s not expected to change
much.”

AIDS Day theme encourages action
By Ann Stack
Staff Reporter
December marks the sixth anni
versary of World AIDS Day. But this
year’s theme says it’s “Time To Act.”
“The theme is saying that it’s time
to fight the denial and the discrimina
tion among the government, commu
nities and individuals,” Pat Tctreault,
sexuality coordinator at the Universi
ty Health Center, said.
“Education and prevention are the
top priorities. We have to raise the
levels of awareness.”
In 1988, the World Health Organi
zation declared Dec. 1 the first World
AIDS Day in an effort to get the
government to talk about AIDS, she
said.
Declared a global epidemic by
WHO, AIDS has infected more than
2.5 million people worldwide.
Tctreault said a survey done by the
Center for Disease Control in 1989
indicated one out ofevery 500 college
students nationwide tested positive
for HIV. Human Immunodeficiency
Virus is classified as the virus that
causes AIDS.
On a campus the si/.c of the Uni
versity of Ncbraska-Lincoln, about
75 of the 25,000 students would be
HIV positive, Tctreault said.
In Nebraska, 475 cases of AIDS
were reported at the end of October.
Of those those infected individuals.
257 have died.
In response lo World AIDS Day,
the Health Department sponsored an
art contest entitled “The Art of Safer
Sex.” The entries are on display in the
Nebraska Union.
Twenty-nine entries were submit
ted and judged on the basis of origi
nality, appropriateness, perceived ef
fectiveness, appeal and conclusivc
ncss.
Tetreault said students would have
the opportunity to vote on the entries.
First, second, and third place plus an
honorable mention will be awarded.
The winning entries will be used in
educational materials provided by the
Health Center to promote safer sex.

thing for the yearbook staff to do,”
said Ross McCown, an eligible bach
elor in 1968.
“I don’t think 1 would refer to it as
a great honor,” said McCown, now
vice president of NEBCO Inc. in Lin
coln.
But the female counterpart to the
eligible bachelor contest was a big
honor for its winners.
Nancy (Tceterman) Osborne, wife
of NU football coach Tom Osborne,
said she was flattered when she was
selected as a finalist in the 1961 beau
ty queen contest.
“At first I didn’t think I had a
chance at all,” Osborne said. “You
don’t think of yourself as a beauty
queen. It was a total surprise to me.”
The selection process for beauty
queen unalists was similar to that of
the eligible bachelor contests. Local
judges selected the 12 finalists for
poise, personality, appearance and
beauty. Living units nominated the
candidates.
In 1961, the Sportmcn Quartet, a
group of popular radio and television
singing stars, chose five beauty queens
from the 12 finalists and one Miss
Cornhuskcr.
According tothe 1961 Cornhuskcr,
the beauty queens were the “fairest of
the fair.”
Even though the beauty queens’
only reward was getting their picture
in the yearbook, it was still a big
honor, Osborne said.
Osborne said the contest was “kind
of a yearbook thing” that died with the
yearbook.
The last years of the yearbook and
the contests coincided with year of
student rejection oftradition,Osborne
said.
“A lot of tradition was thrown out
the window,” she said.
Frank Flallgrcn, who was dean of
men during the 1960s, said the re jec
tion of tradition was partly due to the
Vietnam War. During that era, stu
dents rebelled against established in
stitutions, he said.
“There was a great rejection of any
tradition.” Flallgrcn said. “It was part
of the total attitude of younger peo
ple.”
Osborne said today's students had
their own UNL traditions. Different
times call for different traditions, she
said.
“I think tradition is important in
the life of a school or institution,”
Osborne said. “Maybe there need to
be different traditions for the '90s, but
1 think it’s important to have tradi
tions to go with the spring and fall and
winter."

come back and think it was business
as usual,” Griescn said.
In fact, he said, fraternity members
could return from break without a
home.
Most greek houses are owned by
private fraternity or sorority corpora
tions, he said. The university cannot
dictate who can live in the building,
(iriesen said.

they would not be able to function as

Griesen said 21 council members
voted by secret ballot in favor of the
suspension. One member voted
against the recommendation, and three
members were not eligible to vote.
A Fiji member of the council was
