Stenberg: Time is now for GOP
By John Fulwider
Senior Reporter —
A second Republican revolution
can come in 1996, but Nebraska must
elect a Republican senator, the state’s
attorney general said Wednesday
night.
Don Stenberg, also a Republican
candidate for the U.S. Senate, said
any capable Republican candidate
could defeat President Clinton in the
1996 presidential election. He spoke
to an audience of more than 40 at the
College Republicans meeting in Ne
braska Union.
Americans are fed up with Clinton,
Stenberg said, because he imposed
the largest tax increase in history and
attempted to take control of health
care.
The House of Representatives
should keep its Republican majority
in 1996, he said. That leaves the Sen
ate, he said.
A 60-member Republican major
ity, he said, would allow Republicans
to end Democratic filibusters, their
only weapon to prevent “real reform.”
A Republican Senate win — or two
— in Nebraska is vital to getting that
majority, he said.
If a Republican had won in 1994,
Stenberg said, history would be dif
ferent. Clinton’s tax increase would
have been defeated, the Balanced
Budget Amendment would be in the
ratification process and regulatory
reform would have passed. Those
measures succeeded or failed thanks
to votes by Democratic Sen. Bob
Kerrey, Stenberg said.
Stenberg discussed how he would
beat popular Democratic Gov. Ben
Nelson, also a Senate candidate.
He said Nelson would run into
more difficulty in a Senate race than
he did while running for governor.
Nelson’s support of Clinton will be a
campaign issue, Stenberg said.
The choice will be between Bill
Clinton and Ben Nelson — and Don
Stenberg and the Republican presi
dential candidate, he said.
Nebraskans also will vote against
Nelson because they want to hold him
to his 1994 campaign pledge to fin
ish his term as governor, Stenberg
said. Nelson’s term ends in 1998.
An audience member asked
Stenberg how he was balancing his
duties as attorney general with run
ning a Senate campaign.
Stenberg said it was difficult but
manageable.
"It’s like having two full-time
jobs.”
ASUN rejects changing conduct code
By Kasey Kerber
Staff Reporter
The student senate unanimously
opposed changes to the Student Code
of Conduct at its meeting Wednes
day night.
The Association
of Students of the
University of Ne
braska passed a
bill in response to
changes proposed
this week by the
Faculty Women’s
Caucus.
The caucus pro
posed that a stu
dent charged with
a felony or a violent misdemeanor be
banned from UNL-sponsored extra
curricular activities. The student ju
dicial board then would meet within
five working days after the student is
banned to judge whether the student
is guilty of misconduct.
The proposal would ban a student
from extracurricular activities for
seven years if he or she was convicted
of a felony or violent misdemeanor.
Senate Bill No. 9 states that ASUN
will work with the chancellor’s
’ newly-appointed Task Force on Con
duct Standards and Behavioral Ex
pectations before proposing drastic
changes to the code of conduct.
James McShane, director of the
University Foundations Program, and
Mary McGarvey, caucus chair
woman, both spoke against the
senate’s bill.
McGarvey askedASUN to support
the caucus because its proposal would
bring immediate change.
"We see a task force as some
thing that will take time,” she said.
"The proposed changes would have
more of an immediate effect. We also
don’t see the proposed changes in
conflict with a task force.”
McShane said ASUN should take
a more definite stand on the issue.
Whether the senate supports the cau
cus, McShane said, it must address
the issue of student violence, rather
than deferring all authority to the ad
ministration.
"This is a vigorous proposal to the
Student Code of Conduct,” McShane
said. "My fear is that if you make this
(Bill No. 9) support the task force and
not the proposal, you make it look like
you’re not supporting any legislation
whatsoever.”
Several ASUN senators spoke in
support of the bill.
Malcolm Kass, Committee for Fee
Allocations chairman, said the main
problem with the caucus’ proposal was
that it attacked extracurricular activi
ties.
"If someone’s about to commit a
violent crime,” Kass said, "they’re not
thinking about whether they’ll lose
their extracurricular activities or not.”
Ormaun Lewis, an arts and sci
ences senator, said the proposal did
not reflect student wishes.
''The proposed changes are coming
from the Faculty Women’s Caucus,”
Lewis said. “This is only the point of
view of one group and not students.”
ASUN also unanimously voted to
end a mandatory orientation program
for student organization representa
tives.
Instead, the office of Student In
volvement will provide information
to the student organizations.
Kim Hobson, student organization
consultant for Student Involvement,
advised the senate to wait before
making this change to the student or
ganization regulations bylaw.
Hobson said the senate should ad
dress additional problems with the by
law.
“I wish we had been asked for in
put on the bylaw before it was writ
ten and voted on,” Hobson said. “I
was not aware that it was going to be
voted on until I read about it in the
paper today and did not receive a copy
of the amended changes until an hour
before the vote.”
But ASUN President Shawntell
Hurtgen said she had been talking to
people in the Student Involvement
office about the change for weeks.
Hurtgen said the senate would make
further changes later if necessary.
