JonFrank/DN Student Legal Services ByIevaAugotums Staff writer Students seeking legal assistance this year also will be able to further their education at no additional charge. “We serve as a public education function,” said Shelley Stall, director of Student Legal Services. “We provide advice and representation to students who crane to us.” Fra: 25 years, ASUN Student Legal Services has provided free counsel to University of Nebraska-Lincoln stu dents. Stall said educating students about the legal system is one of two “expan sions” of Student Legal Services; the other; a new full-time attorney at law. “We are pleased to have another lawyer in our office,” Stall said. “He’s a great addition to our staff” Tom Keefe, the center’s new attor ney, is ready to help students with a vari ety of legal services, answers and advice. “1 have an educational and legal background both in and out of the class room,” Keefe said. “I really like the stu dent aspect of what I do.” Graduating from UNL Teachers College in 1975, Keefe taught junior and high school students in Australia and Palmyra before he entered the NU College of Law in 1980. Keefe earned his law degree in 1983. “I always considered the option of going into law,” Keefe said. “Working here at UNL allows me to continue edu cating students and provide legal coun sel.” Before he accepted a frill-time lawyer position at Student Legal Services, Keefe was the director of Law Related Education at the Nebraska Bar Association. “What I’m doing here is much like what I did before,” Keefe said. “I love educating others.” Keefe encourages students to use the center even if they just have a ques tion about the legal process. “Students have already paid their student fees,” Keefe said. “We’ll help them anyway we can - short answer or i I I • I I • t « j .< ti !

They ’ll help you out in any way they can.” Saba Russell ASUN president full consultation.” Marlene Beyke, ASUN director of development, said legal services is funded completely by student fees. All enrolled UNL students pay $1.90 per semester to support die colter. Students who receive a Fund A refund are ineli gible to use the center, she said. ASUN President Sara Russell said students should use legal services for any legal aspect, big or small. “They are a service to you - you pay for it,” Russell said. “They’ll help you out in any way they can.” Stall said die center can represent students in landlord and tenant disputes, traffic offenses, misdemeanors, family law, employment and consumer cases. Student Legal Services cannot han dle personal injury cases, real estate transactions, felonies or caSes that involve the university, she said. Keefe said if the center is incapable of providing a student with service, the attorneys will direct the student to other services and agencies in Lincoln. “We’ll do our best,” Keefe said. “But if we cannot help, we’ll direct you to other services that can.” Beyke said the center is a integral resource to students and to die universi ty “Student Legal Services have vest ed interests in the university,” Beyke said. “They are great advocates for all students.” Students wishing to talk to an attor ney can contact ASUN Student Legal Services, 335 Nebraska Union, (402) 472-3350.

Survey says residence hall stu dents can find out the answer to that question by showing up Friday night to play Family Feud, one of many activities for Residents’ Week, which begins today. For the next six days, residence hall students can enjoy a free relax ation class, take a personal safety course or practice their bowling skills, said Residence Hall Association President Ben Wallace. Residents’ Week is usually in the spring, Wallace said, but RHA decid ed to have it in the fall this year because it provides students with information they can use the rest of the year. Plus, it can be a lot of fun. Students can play the game show Family Feud on Friday night. A sur vey of residence hall students taken last year is die basis for the game. Students can sign up for teams, I and the game will last as long as the students do or until it gets too late, Wallace said. If game shows don’t appeal to stu dents, he said, maybe bowling will. A shuttle bus will be running Tuesday night from City Campus to the Nebraska East Union for bowl ing. All the activities are free except the trip to Champions Fun Center, 1555 Yolande Ave., on Saturday. Wallace said residence hall life is not all fun and games, which is why a personal safety course and presenta tions on contraception and sexually transmitted infections will be offered. And for students who just want to calm down, a relaxation course will be offered today. Wallace said he has attended the sessions, and he recom mended students bring a pillow and be ready to calm their minds. Wallace said if students have questions about Residents’ Week they can call the RHA office at (402) 472-1095 or talk to hall presidents.
