Indigenous
people need
more rights,
activist says
ECHO-HAWK from page 1
He said that each day, racism,
assimilation and genocide cause
more and more indigenous people
to vanish from the earth. In Brazil,
from 1900 to 1957, 80 indigenous
tribes disappeared and with them
ancient history and wisdom were
lost forever, he said.
Yet ticho-Hawk believes mat
indigenous people will survive
with strengthened political rights.
“We owe it to humanity to sur
vive because we provide the world
with a lot of its diversity,” he said.
Echo-Hawk said with the end
of the colonial era, there is an op
portunity for indigenous people to
gain freedom and democracy. But
before change, many questions
need to be answered about their
cultural diversity, political rights
and human rights, he said.
Indigenous people’s fates ulti
mately depend on the values and
principles of the nations around
them, Echo-Hawk said.
“Our planet is getting smaller,
so our minds must get bigger to un
derstand these complex issues,” he
said.

1 ASUN tickles student seating
Senators passed four
bills and elected the
speaker of the senate
J during the meeting.
By Brad Davis
Staff Reporter
ASUN passed new legislation
Wednesday night as a response to
complaints by ticket holders in the
south seats of Memorial Stadium.
Government Bill No. 3, regard
ing student seating at NU football
games, was unanimously passed by
the senate after some discussion. It
was one of the first pieces of legis
lation passed under the 1997-1998
administration.
The Association of Students of
the University of Nebraska, work
ing together with the Athletic De
partment, hopes to discourage stu
dents from standing on seats in the
south section of the stadium by pass
ing the bill. The bill is an effort to
ensure that student seating will not
be moved or taken away as it has
been in the past.
The bill states ASUN will inform
all ticket holders in sections 12
through 15 that they may be evicted
from the stadium if they do not re
frain from standing on the seats. Stu
dents would still be allowed to stand
on the concrete space between rows.
Student ticket holders in the sec
tions would most likely be informed
of the policy by a direct mailing.
“We have to enforce this or we
will continue to lose seating,” First
Vice President Amy Rager said.
In other business, ASUN Busi
ness Senator Viet Hoang was elected
as ASUN speaker of the senate.
Hoang, a junior finance major
and previous chairman of the ASUN
Special Topics Committee, pre
sented a speech to the senate that
outlined his key goals for the com
ing year.
As speaker of the senate, one of
Hoang’s responsibilities will be
committee appointments. He said he
hoped to encourage diversity among
applicants who wish to serve on
ASUN committees by informing
more students of opportunities.
“If we truly make an effort to get
the entire university community in
volved, we will have a very good
and diverse group of people,” Hoang
said.
Arts and Sciences Senator Sara
Russell also was nominated for
speaker of the senate, which was
voted on by senators after hearing
both candidates’ speeches and dis
cussing their qualifications and plat
forms.
Before the elections, senators
also passed:
■ Government Bill No. 1, which
would create a committee to deal
with the newly assessed technology
fees. The ad hoc committee com
prises seven students appointed by
ASUN President Curt Ruwe. The
committee will serve as a student
voice regarding the allocation of
funds received from the $2-per
credit-hour tuition increase.
■ Government Bill No. 2, which
recognizes the Comhusker Genetic
Association as an official student or
ganization.
■ Government Bill No. 4, which
recognizes former ASUN President
Eric Marintzer’s contributions to the
organization.
