director selection committee.
They went from having two
ASUN representatives ami one
UPC member to an even two
two ratio.
Milligan later spoke to sena
tors and told UPC the compro
mise was unacceptable and the
issue would be brought before
the student court.
The senators to whom he had
spoken during the summer had
been supportive of the bylaw
change, Milligan said. He said
ASUN would begin preparing
for the court appearance when
senate meetings resume for the
semester.
Milligan filed a petition July
27 to bring the issue before the
court. It said:
• Regent bylaws give ASUN
the power to “make recommen
dations concerning the budget
ing of all funds collected through
fees designated for the use of
student organizations.”
• Regentbylaws say that “stu
dent governments may not dis
tribute Fund A monies to indi
viduals, except in the form of
wages for services performed,
nor to groups or organizations
that arc not established by and
under the direct control of stu
dent government.”
• ASUN has been distribut
ing Fund A money to UPC since
1978, thereby making UPC a
student organization.
The petition cites other evi
dence in UPC’s own constitu
tion, which calls UPC a student
organization. The petition also
cites partsof the ASUN constitu
tion, which states that all student
organizations must have their
constitutions approved by
ASUN. The petition says UPC
has done this for three previous
constitutional amendments.
A counterclaim that UPC filed
cites a lack of authority, suffi
cient notice, jurisdiction, prccc
. dqntsandalackofvalidityinthc
petition Milligan filed.
The counterclaim also states
that ASUN violated its own by
laws several times in its actions
toward the passage of the bylaw.
UPC says ASUN violated its
own bylaws by not inviting UPC
to appear before the ASUN spe
cial topics committee to plead
the council’s case. Another vio
lation occurred because the sen
ate has not formally authorized
Milligan to take the issue to stu
dent court.
In the suit, UPC asks the stu
dent court to find that ASUN
overstepped its authority to pass
the bylaw and that it tampered
with UPC’s constitution. The
panel wants the court to find the
bylaw inapplicable and the peti
tion filed by Milligan invalid.

The old system, in place since 1965,
was cumbersome and hard to admin
ister, Beacon said. He also said the
motives of moneylenders sometimes
hurt students.
“Banks are in (the student loan
business) because it is profitable,” he
said. “That’s banking. ’
Beacon said the banks would charge
insurance and jorigination Ices even
before students got their checks.
“Along the way, institutions (fi
nancial aid offices) have found that
the service provided by the lenders has
not been all that great,” he said.
Some students spend summer studying

For the majority of college stu
dents, summer meant fun — relaxing
by the pool, playing sand volleyball,
traveling or just talcing a break from
the normal routine.
For senior Lisa Berney, summer
was Filled with exams, textbooks and
daily assignments. Berney, along with
3,571 other students, enrolled in sum
mer sessions at the University of Ne
braska-Lincoln.
Summer classes are divided into
Five parts—a three-week pre-session,
two eight-week sessions and two Five
week sessions.
Berney took Psychology of Wom
en 421 during the pre-session and Psy
chology of Human Sexuality 471 dur
ing the second Five-week session.
“I wanted to. take my harder, 400
level classes in the summer to get them
out of the way,” Berney said. “I want
ed more time to concentrate on them.”
The teachers seemed more relaxed
during the summer, and the Classes
were smaller, she said. However, the
classes were at an accelerated pace.
Bemey was assigned to read a chapter
every day and had an exam every four
days.
“You had to keep up on the readings
every day or you fell behind,” she said.
Janet Wagner, assistant director of
summer sessions, said missing aday or
two in the summer is comparable to
missing a week of classes during the
regular sessions.
“But it keeps you from procrasti
nating,” she said.
Wagner said the enjoyment of sum
mer classes depended on the individu
al student.
“When I was a student, I took sum
mer classes a lot because I really liked
the pace,” she said. “I had one idea and
one class to concentrate on.”
Wagner said a lot of summer stu
dents were those wishing to get their
degree sooner, pursue a course that
was not in their major or make up a
deficiency.
She said summer classes were ideal
for graduate students and visiting stu
dents. Students also registered for class
es offered in the summer that are usu
ally full during regular sessions.
John Ballard, associate dean of the
College of Engineering and Technol
ogy, said some of the fundamental
engineering classes were full in regu
lar session but were open in summer
sessions.
“It really helps to balance out the
year,” he said.
Ballard said summer classes could
help engineering students, who have
to complete a 136-hour curriculum, to
graduate in four years. Summer also
allowed students to take special class
es with more intensive study, such as
those offered at Cedar Point near
Ogallala.
„ For the past 17 years, biology pro
fessor Paul Johnsgard has taught an
ornithology class at Cedar Point dur
ing summer sessions.
“(Cedar Point) is the best place in
the state to teach such a course,”
Johnsgard said.
In three weeks, Johnsgard, his as
sistant and 18 students recorded about
150 species of birds.
“(The summer class) is more stress
ful from the students’ standpoint, but
there’s also less of a distraction than
there is in town.” he said. “1 demand
more of them and they demand more
of themselves.”
