m ' - * ■ ‘Union to appeal for increase in budget II ByIevaAugstums i i Assignment Reporter I * s Tonight the Union Board will sbegin undoing everything the I -Committee for Fees Allocation has Mone to stunt increases in the union’s ^budget. [ The University of Nebraska ILincoln Union Board voted Tuesday ^to begin appealing CFA’s decision of ^reducing die Nebraska Unions’ bud liget increase request by $ 109,000. | Nebraska Union Director Daryl ^Swanson said he will appeal to the ^Association of Students of the gUniversity of Nebraska today, ^requesting to keep revenue from an I ATM lease in the union’s fund rather ^than the university’s general fund and to have tobacco sales removed from Ithe unions. | Swanson said he doesn’t expect 8 ASUN to grant his appeal. n . “I know the students want tobac *co in the unions,” Swansori said. “But | removing tobacco from our unions is .something that I have supported from ithe beginning - I must continue my •support.” s Student Involvement Director f Marilyn Bugenhagen will also appeal | to ASUN today on behalf of Student glnvolvement. 1 Bugenhagen said her main con cern was the “mysterious, unspeci fied budget cut of $ 19,960 CFA decided to remove.” “We have a brand new facility that had a lot of potential,” Bugenhagen said. “We completely understand that student fees are a concern, but students need to under stand the resources that they can have or won’t have in the resource center.” Jess Sweley, a junior biosystems engineering major, said Union Board supports Bugenhagen and Swanson in their efforts, and told board mem bers that ultimately the decisions were no longer in their hands. “Regardless of what students or we say, the university will remove tobacco from our unions and increase our fees,” Sweley said. “The adminis tration would not have it any other way than their way.” Union Board President Saad Alavi said the administrators have the right to take tobacco sales out of the unions, but they don’t have the right to “dump the extra fees on students.” Nebraska Union will appeal to ASUN today at 6:30 p.m. in the union’s Georgian Suite. - Students wishing to speak during open forum must register with ASUN before the meeting. ' UNL student arrested Where there is smoke, there is fire, and if that smoke smells funny, it’s probably the mari juana that University Police found in Selleck Residence Hall Monday afternoon. Reports of a marijuana smell on the 8200 section of Selleck led officers to the resi dence hall, University Police Sgt. Mylo Bushing said. With the help of the resi dence hall director, officers tracked the smell to Jared Kolarik’s room. When confronted by the police, Kolarik, 19, a freshman from Bellevue, turned over his pipe and a plastic bag of mari juana. Then Kolarik consented to a search of his half of the room, but officers did not find any thing else. Kolarik was arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

IBazaar to offer international flavor 51 | By Chad Ellsworth *i Staff Reporter i | Students can,taste die food, wear .the clothes and tour die culttires of 11 nations today. i The International Student ^Organization is bringing the ^International Bazaar to the main | entrance of the Nebraska Union today rjto heighten the awareness of cultural * diversity on campus. j Students from those nations will ^present music, food, clothing and the ‘ 'traditional crafts of their countries in • order to celebrate the presence of *more than 70 nations and 2,000 inter ‘ national students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said ISO member Elena Bocherova. The 11 countries represented include Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Korea, Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, Japan, India, Bangladesh and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The CIS, which includes the republics of the former Soviet Union, as well as Iran, are new additions to the annual bazaar this year. The bazaar began a few years ago as a way for international students to get together and share experiences, said Amruta Kshatriya, vice presi dent for programs and activities. The bazaar will begin at 11 a.m. with a few words from Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs James Griesenfe_The booths and activities will remain open until 2 p.m. Each association will make and prepare the foods itself, using home made recipes that one won’t find in any restaurant, Kshatriya said. Students should make a special effort to sample the foods of Bangladesh, which have won the award for the most outstanding cuisine for the past two years. “We hope it will help create awareness of the different cultures on campus and help encourage cultural exchange,” Bocherova said. I Academic Senate discusses traffic projects ; SENATE from page 1 However, Amy Rager, ASUN f rst * vice president, disagreed. | “A lot of students do gfet injured “because of traffic commuting through ? campus,” Rager said. “You just don’t I see it in the newspapers or hear about it ,on the news.” i Rager said the university has |already gotten the city to reduce the speed limit on 16th and 17* streets, r “This project benefits the campus * and city greatly,” she said. “People will j notice a difference.” I Peter Bleed, former Academic | Senate president, said the Antelope f Valley development project is a good solution to unwanted traffic control on campus. = However, Jensen then questioned the impact the project would have on traffic in existing adjacent neighbor hoods. Moeser said the project has gone through a lot of planning and said the university and city have remained sen sitive to existing neighborhoods’ needs. “The Antelope Valley project bet ters traffic control and safety for both the university and city,” Moeser said. ■ “It is a good solutionto the possible problems we may face in our fUture.” In other Academic Senate busi ness, the Senate voted unanimously to support a revised tuition remission pol icy for faculty and staff. Agnes Adams, Employee Benefits Committee chairwoman, said the poli cy states that the existing 15 credit hours per year allotted to employees also can be used by dependents under 24 years old. The credits are transfer able among four NU campuses and may be used for both undergraduate and graduate study, she said. Ford said the policy will be for warded to other NU campuses asking for support. if ! I * I Questions? Comments? Ask for the appropriate section editor at (402) 472-2588 or e-mail dn@unllnfo.unl.edu.

The CBA Student Advisory Board sponsored the forum as a nonpartisan effort to allow candi dates to present their views and “determine the best of the candi dates,” said forum co-chairman Jason Hooper. Candidates talked about per sonal involvement on campus that would benefit a senatorial posi tion, as well as their views on enhancing job placement and internships within the college. “Students need to be prepared for real-world experiences within the business world,” junior finance and marketing major Sam Ushio said, stressing with other candi dates that students need to be more aware of internship opportunities. Possible solutions included an Internet listserv connecting all CBA students* creating a central ized list of available jobs and iflcreasing relations with CBA alumni. “Our best advertisement are the CBA graduates,” sophomore business education major Andy Shuerman £aid. “They create a name for us, and if we best prepare them we will reap the benefits.” The forum also raised ques tions about finding a new dean of CBA. The college has been with out a permanent dean since ■: "a* juuui . j— i December 1995. John Goebel is serving as dean until a new dean is appointed.Candidates were opti mistic about the change in admin istration and thought social mixers and open houses were possible ways to foster good relations between the new dean and CBA students. “(The new dean) will have high standards to live up to,” junior marketing major Sommer Sjulin said. “Whoever does take the role will bring new ideas and a positive attitude, as Dean Goebel has done -fOl-US;”'..'. > i; ' . \ Diversity took center 'Statge at the end.of the forntn, and candi dates expressed "different views on the types of diversity needing attention in CBA. It isn t really race-related, though people focus on race,” Ushio said. “It’s between on-cam pus and off-campus students, greek and residence hall students.” Junior finance major Kay Kwang said student activity con tributes to diversity. “It’s diversity of student activism,” she said. “There are those who are extremely active and make an effort to know what’s going on, then there are those who don’t know or don’t have the desire to know. We have to come to a happy medium.” Candidates suggested interac tion as a possible remedy to the problem, through events such as a CBA Day and diversity/sensitivity classes. All the candidates agreed that some sort of change is necessary. “It will be a process,” Shuerman said. “We just need to begin it.” It! Tickets. _Ajviw.
