Initiation
Continued from Page 1
the physical or mental health or safety
of an individual for the purpose of
initiation, admission into, affiliation
with, or continued membership with
any organization operating under the
sanction of a postsecondary educa
tional institution.”
Maul said the process of becoming
a member was educational.
“Leadership, membership and
learning historical facts of the frater
nity, as well as reflecting what is ac
complished as a student in the first
semester away from home, are things
new members do before initiation,”
he said.
Horn said completing the initiation
process also gave members voting
privileges—although new members,
she said, always have input in chapter
decisions.
“After becoming a full-fledged
member, initiates can vote in meet
ings and are entitled to all the benefits
that come with being a member of
their chapter,” she said.
New members are expected to be
faithful to the chapter in various areas,
such as getting acceptable grades and
being responsible, both morally and
socially, she said.
Even though initiation activities are
different for each fraternity and soror
ity chapter, there are some constants.
“Initiation is a ritual used tojnduct
new members. The ceremony part of it
is to introduce the chapter to the new
members,” Hohl said. V>
“It brings a higher understanding
of what the sorority means,” she said.
For fraternity members, Maul said,
“Initiation week is a final week of
reflection for new members, includ
ing why they went through the new
member program and what they’ve
learned.”
Activities range from a weekend to
a week, depending on the chapter’s
new member program.
“Becoming initiated is a step in
leading the chapter, alumni and estab
lishing a proving ground for the rest of
life,” Maul said.

Senate tables changes for commencement
By Joshua Gillin
Staff Reporter
The Academic Senate voted to
table a resolution to revise com
mencement procedures at its Feb
ruary meeting Tuesday.
The senate tabled the resolution
because of a desire to conduct the
ceremony in the traditional way.
The resolution,presented by Leo
Sartori and Mark van Roojen, would
have allowed graduating seniors,
whose final grades had not yet been
determined, to participate in com
mencement.
Under the proposal, professors
of seniors would have had more
time to determine the students’ fi
nal grades.
Currently, professors who give
a final exam on the Friday before
commencement may have less than
an hour to determine a student’s
final grade.
James McShane, chairman of the
senate’s commencement commit
tee, said it was unrealistic to expect
the ceremony to adjust to only a
handful of students.
The resolution was unfair, he
said, because students who did not
meet requirements could partici
pate in a time-honored tradition at
UNL.
“We are the only university of
this size that actually gives a stu
dent their degree on stage,”
McShane said. “If we can run that
kind of quality commencement, why
wouldn’t we?”
Don Jensen, senate member and
psychology professor, said the reso
lution was “a case of the cure being
worse than the disease.”
The senate approved a motion,
however, to send the present com
mencement schedul e to the senate ’ s
grading and examination commit
tee for review.
In other business, NU Board of
Regents Chairman Don Blank of
McCook addressed the senate,
bringing a message of upcoming
change.
Blank said the regents’ mission
was to maintain the present stan
dards of the NU system, and to keep
NU traditions stable during times;
of change.
On his second day as chancellor,
James Moeser spoke briefly about
his plans for UNL’s future.
Some of Moeser’s top priorities
are appointing an affirmative ac
tion director and building a strong
community among UNL faculty, he
said.
“I do not envision any major
changes in course,” Moeser said. “I
do want to be among the major
institutions in the nation.”

By Heidi White

Requests for University Program
and Facilities Fees continued as die

ted budget proposals to CFA Tues
day.
The Committee for Fees Alloca
tion heard requests from Campus Rec
reation to increase student fees by 5.1
percent, for a total of more than $1.9
million.
In addition to current operation and
maintenance costs of the Rec Center,
UNL facilities management is pro
jecting an increase of $ 18,220 in elec
tricity costs and in chilled water, used
for air conditioning.
The presentation also included new
programs and projects for Campus
Recreation.
Kenda Scheele, associate director
for structured activities at the Rec
Center, presented a proposal for a
personal fitness program that needs to
be funded by student fees.
“We’d like to get as many students
as we can on the road to better health,”
Scheele said.
Several ideas for desired improve
ment projects, such as remodeling and
expandingoutdoor playing fields, were
discussed.
Stan Campbell, director of Cam
pus Recreation, said the current value
of UNL’s recreational property wa
$37 million. Costs for annual mainte
nance,accordingtonational standards
should be between 2 percent and -
percent of the replacement value, hi
said.
Present maintenance costs are abou
$400,000, which is about half of th<
standard cost.
In other business, CFA voted* tc
recommend approval of the Univer
sity Health Center’s $3.2 million pro
