Ben Nelson said Monday. “This train is rolling down the track at a fairly significant rate of speed,” he said. Nelson made his comments from Cincinnati, where he is leading the National Conference on Federalism. By bringing together state leaders from five organizations, Nelson said, the conference will be instrumental in making changes in the way federal government deals with state governments. The governor voiced his frustration with the lack of balance between federal and state gov ernments, saying today’s government wasn’t what America’s founders had in mind when they drafted the Constitution. He said state governments were meant to function as partners of the federal government, rather than playing a subservient role. “If you go back and look at the Federalist Papers,” he said, “and take a look at the Bill of Rights and all the amendments and then take a look at where we are... it seems as though 200 years have resulted in a completely different relationship than we had envisioned.” Nelson listed four possible remedies to the lack of governmental balance. First, he said, a federal act could give states a more effective role in federal government obligations. Second, states could have the power to re quire Congress to reconsider laws that no longer have the support of the American people. Third, Nelson said, a balance might be achieved by allowing states to propose specific constitutional amendments. Finally, statutory remedies and/or constitu tional reform could resolve the problem of conditions attached to federal spending man dates, Nelson said. Although progress has been made in control ling unfunded federal mandates and shifting financial burdens to the states, he said, more steps need to be taken. “We’re not going to be benefited as a coun try if in the balancing of the federal budget, they bust the budgets of the state and local govern ments,” he said. Residents get new lunch option By Nancy Zywiec Staff Reporter The Dining Service at Harper-Schramm Smith Residence Hall Complex offers an alter native to eating lunch in the dining room. Beginning this semester, residents can get a “grab-and-go” lunch Monday through Friday during regular lunch hours, 10:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Virginia Bechtold, food service manager, said students liked the new service because it allowed them to grab lunch between classes and eat at a later time or outside on a nice day. “It seemed to be a popular request,” Bechtold said. Some items residents can choose from in elude: hamburgers, deli sandwiches, the choice of the day, desserts, yogurt and beverages, Bechtold said. Between two and 250 residents take advan tage of the alternative lunch daily, she said, and the number keeps rising. The grab-and-go breakfast program began last year in all residence hall dining services, she said. Residents can grab rolls, muffins, juice and coffee during regular breakfast hours, 6:45 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. Also during those hours, residents could make a sack lunch that they can eat later, Bechtold said. Bechtold said she was not sure if grab-and go lunches would continue or expand, but the program will be assessed at the end of the year.
