ASUN bills encourage communication i
By Kasey Kerber
Staff Reporter
Increasing communication among
student leaders, the student body and
faculty will be the focus of tonight’s
meeting of the Association of Stu
dents of the University of Nebraska.
ASUN President Shawntell
'' Hurtgen will pro
pose two bills: one
concerning a
speaker’s bureau
and another to sim
plify the Under
graduate Bulletin.
The speaker’s
bureau was designed as a group of 10
students and 10 faculty members who
would speak to community organiza
tions on topics from finances to hob
bies, Hurtgen said.
Former UNL Chancellor Graham
Spanier cut students from the bureau,
she said.
Now ASUN can submit to the bu
reau a list of about five students. The
bureau may call on those students to
help speak to organizations.
The second bill suggests revising
the Undergraduate Bulletin.
“We want to highlight the Under
graduate Bulletin so that incoming
students will take more responsibility
and be better informed of existing
policies,” Hurtgen said.
Efforts will be made to make the
book easier for freshmen to use, she
said.
“I think they put together a good
package, but it’s often hard for fresh
men to use the book to its fullest
potential,” Hurtgen said.
“It seems three-fourths of the ma
terial doesn’t apply to freshmen, and
the book becomes too much like a
dictionary that’snot interesting enough
to look through.”
ASUN also will discuss issues
brought up at today’s4:30 p.m. presi
dents’ round-table meeting, a gather
ing of student organization presidents.

management major, said Holmes drew
her into his lectures.
“He’s like a historian,” she said.
“He teaches the class as if he’s story
telling. You really feel like you’re in
World War II. And after the class, you
feel like you knew Churchill and ex
perienced his feelings.”
Fagan said Holmes had definite
opinions, but that he wanted to make
sure students could form their own.
“He brought in guest speakers who
disagreed with his ideology,” she said.
“That helped because you saw pros
and cons to each side.”
Holmes, the author of five books
on the British political economy, said
his class dealt with “a messy subject
with loose ends,” and it was important
to present the facts to students.
“You must treat the facts with re
spect,” he said. “Don’t worry if the
subject matter is messy, and don’t
twist the facts to fit the theory.
“The starting point is to know the
subject,” he said. “You’ve got to be a
real expert; you’ve got to know what
you’re talking about. I always do my
homework. I’m always up to date.”
But it was Holmes’ interest and
concern for his students that espe
cially impressed Fagan. She said the
student-professor relationship was on
a personal level, and Holmes was al
ways available to talk about any sub
ject matter.
Means said Holmes’ concern for
students helped make the experience a
good one.
“He was always available to us at
all times. He was always at our col
lege, asking us if we needed help and
what we were struggling with,” she
said. “Most teachers wait for you to
come to them, but he always came to
us.”

won’t be finished until later this
fall when certain trees go dor
mant,” Herr said.
Kim Todd, campus landscape
architect, has put together a na
tive-Nebraska scheme for the
landscaping ofthe building, Hen
said.
