Chambers will continue boycott CHAMBERS from page 1 to use their judgment and not advance every bill that comes before them. Advancing too many bills can re sult in “trash legislation,” he said, and his absence in committee will only add to that. But too much time would be wasted arguing bills twice — on the committee and the floor*. Chambers said he has’ifeverbgfore been absent from committee hearings for this reason. “Before what I call the ‘fallingout,’ I was more faithful in my attendance than anybody,” he said. “Now that I’m not coming, the bills move a lot faster. (Testifiers) don’t have to answer my questions.” It is Omaha Sen. Kermit Brashear’s first year as chairman of the Judiciary Committee. He said that as the mem bership of the committee has changed, a Now that Ym not coming, the hills move a lot faster.” Sen. Ernie Chambers Omaha bills that Chambers opposes are ad vancing. “There’s a different orientation to the philosophy of the people in volved,” Brashear said. 4fWe’re sim ply trying ... to handle the workload. “I think people thoughfit was about time the Judiciary Committee be run as efficiently as its workload requires.” 5* Sen. John Hilgert of Omaha, a com mittee member, said because it was Brashear’s first year as chairman of the committee, Brashear was still learning how to run it. The committee was moving a lot of bills forward, Hilgert said, which could be attributed to a different style of leadership. ' <_ ‘^Bverjt.chairman’s different,” Hilgert said. Brashear said Chambers told him the boycott was not the result of any thing Brashearhad done. Although he’s absent from the committee, Chambers said he will eventually speajc out against the bills. “Since I am opposed to them and will have to fight against them, I will do it only once and that will be on the floor of the Legislature,” Chambers said. 1 Food outlet plans take top priority at board meeting By Sarah Baker Staff Reporter Tentative plans for the construction of a food outlet in the new parking garage being built near Memorial Sta dium was the focus of Tuesday’s Union Board meeting. The board is considering plans for a new outlet similar to the Nebraska Union Bakery. The project would be funded by capital from the beverage alliance with either the Coca-Cola or Pepsi companies when the final com pany is chosen. Director of Nebraska Unions Daryl Swanson said the Board expected the construction of such an outlet to cost roughly $90,000. The estimate is based on the cost of the osfiafcishment of the existing bakery. ^ggj “The size of the new area is abpjit 1,000 square feet,” Swanson said. “The facility would most likely be a replica of the bakery that is in the city union right now.” The board wants the funds to come from the only new spurce of income — the beverage alliance contract. “The request for the money is a part of the proposal and as of now is under consideration,” Swanson said. decision on the issue of tobacco products being sold on cam pus was also discussed. Swanson said the issue was tabled for now. ‘T am still considering the recom mendations of both the Union Board and Chancellor James Moeser.” The board had previously voted to keep selling the products, but Moeser asked the board to reconsider. said that in makinggthe was considering aj&pw "Tederal la; [uiring tobacco venoers to ask for' from any customer who looks under 27 years old. Another factor is the union’s reno vation plans, he said. “With the movement of the infor mation desk, we lose the dispensers and storage facilities that we need to sell cigarettes at the desk,” Swanson said. “This affects the fi nal decision, as does the new fed eral law.” Tenure SENATE from page 1 “The university needs to send out the message of its commitment to rigorousness,” Ford said. “We need to ensure that our trigger mechanism is effective.” The senate also approved a pro posal that took: into consideration the recommendations of the Aca demic Rights and Responsibility Committee. The ARRC reviewed the first document and listed 10 ar eas that needed to be addressed in the next version of a post-tenure policy. Many senate members thought those issues were important in con sidering the proposal. The senate voted to sEhd the revised proposal taMoeser for further consideration and revision.
