ASUN to lobby against engineering college
By Melanie Branded_
Staff Reporter
ASUN senators passed a bill Wednesday
night that directs the Government Liaison
Committee to lobby against the creation of a
separate engineering college at UNO.
The bill instructs GLC
members to convince the
NU Board of Regents
and Nebraskans that an
independent engineering
college at the University
of Nebraska at Omaha is
unnecessary.
During the meeting,
Andrew Loudon, president of the Association
of Students of the University of Nebraska, gave
senators copies of a recent letter written by
Bryan Van Deun, president and chief execu
tive officer of the UNL Alumni Association.
Van Dcun’s letter questioned the need for the
establishment of a separate engineering col
lege at UNO and urged people to voice their
opinions to NU President L. Dennis Smith and
state senators.
“The battle has begun,” Loudon said. “It is
time for those who care about quality educa
tion to draw the line in the Platte River and
say no.
“(The University of Nebraska at) Omaha is
not getting an engineering college.”
He said engineering students would play a
major role in the opposition of a new engi
neering college. Loudon said Marc Schulte,
president of the Engineering Executive Board,
would assure that the regents and their con
stituents learned why the college was not
needed.
Loudon said GLC would make lobbying
efforts against the engineering college at UNO
its top priority, though not its exclusive respon
sibility.
In other business, Sunjac Park, president
elect of the International Students Organiza
tion, spoke to senators in open forum about
the ASUN student court’s ruling in May that
ISO’s April 7 election was invalid.
The court ruled the election was not held in
strict accordance with election rules set by the
organization’s constitution and called for new
elections to be held this semester.
Park told ASUN senators there was a prob
lem with the election rule that involved verifi
cation of authorized voters and said it should
not discriminate against a person’s character
or background.
He also urged senators to pay attention to
how the student court will clarify its original
decision.
The senate also approved the recognition
of the College of Fine and Performing Arts
Student Advisory Board and the Clubhouse
Rhetorical Society.

anyone for any reason,” Chambers
said. “Even for racist lynchers of
black people.”
With taxes. Chambers said he
hated taxes just like the next person,
but said that was the way government
payed its bills. He said taxes should
rise with people's expectations of
what government should be doing.
Chambers said that he hated
crime, but that the crime problem was
overstated.
People of color were more likely
to be arrested and go to jail for street
crimes. Chambers said. But street
crimes arc minor compared to white
collar crimes, he said.
White-collar crimes, such as sav
ings and loan scandals, price fixing
and insider trading, cost Americans
billions of dollars, Chamber said.
Chambers said doctors and law
yers, as well as wealthy drug lords
that could manipulate the justice sys
tem, did not worry about going to jail.
Politicians also feed on crime, he
said.
“This is a terrifying, frightening
society, and politicians like it that way
because a frightened society is an
unthinking society,” Chambers said.
