ASIJN elects a new
speaker of senate
By Melanie Branded
Staff Reporter
ASUN senators elected Jason
Kubik as the new speaker of the senate
Sunday.
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.

budget. 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.

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.”
