Kubik, senator for the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, and Jason Bynum, senator for the College of Arts and Sciences, were nominated for the position at last week’s Association of Students of the University of Nebraska meeting. The speaker serves as the chairper son of the Appointments Board and is the spokesperson for the senate. Kubik said in a speech to senators that he thought the speaker of the senate served three primary func tions. As speaker, he said he would assist senators in drafting legislation and in taking senators’ requests into consid eration when appointing senators to committees. “The job as speaker is to represent them (senators) as a collective body,” Kubik said. He told senators he would feel com fortable representing the senate, as well as students. “The legislation that becomes drafted out of this body is representa tive of what the students’ concerns are,” he said. “It should represent what students are thinking and what stu dents want.” Bynum told senators in his speech that he would try to improve students’ image of ASUN by increasing public ity of its services. “Many students think ASUN is against the students, but actually it’s for them,” he said.

At the same time, the salaries of the 2,83 0 faculty members make up 34.9 percent of the budget. At the regents’ February meeting, UNL officials released a report to the board outlining several areas that had been redesigned and reduced. Several sections of the 14-page report highlighted areas of UNL that had been merged or redesigned, caus ing a reduction in staff. Of those areas, the office of Busi ness and Finance took the most cuts — 33 jobs removed through mergers and process redesigns. Regent Drew Miller, an executive at ConAgra in Omaha, said he ap plauded efforts of downsizing at UNL. But he said turning to the private sec tor would not always be an option. “There are hundreds of ways to do this,” he said. Miller said he wanted to see more done with less on the admin istrative end. Money could be freed up for teaching, he said. Miller said the bottom line was most important when deciding whether NU should be efficient or keep people working. At ConAgra, Miller said, the past few years have seen large growth in the company with no expansions in staff. He said that if the opposite were true — stagnant growth and addition of employees — changes would have to be made. Miller said UNL’s growth in stu dents would continue to be flat. “Our work should not be increas ing on the administrative side because our student count isn’t growing,” he said. \~cuimjh saiu me university uiun i reduce staff across the board because some departments needed to expand while others needed to downsize. Ten years ago, hazardous waste management needed no employees, he said. Now, it has nine, Carlson said. With recent increases in money put into research at UNL, support staff for that research has increased, Carlson said. ; -, “You can’t expect the people 4© ing the accounting for 50 people to do the accounting for 100 people,” he said. However, Carlson said, Miller’s heart is in the right place. “His desire to make the university work better is right on target,” he said. “His goal is a worthwhile goal.” <f WIW TANNERY "]) I 15 sessions $29*1 Plus l FREE doz. bottle | of Accelerator Lotion | ($10 value) | expires 5-31-95 1101 Arapahoe (just behind McDonald's on S. 9th St.) 423-6022j r Get Ready for Summer 17th & N Streets No Appointments Necessary 476-9466 ®$6 Off If Oil Change Service NOW FOR $1895 ONLY (reg. $24.95) •We change oil & oil filter up to 5 quarts.! •We lubricate the chassis. •We check and fill: Automatic transmis-1 sion fluid only, brake fluid, battery fluid, | power-steering fluid, and washer fluid. | •We check anti-freeze, air filter, wiper ■ blades, tire pressure, vacuum interior, ! and wash your windows.
