Bravo. Hergert must go, and we must wonder if he has any shame. Matt Schaefer is right on target again. This issue caused unity among urban and rural state senators, Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature, who know repeated abuse of campaign finance laws by Mr. Hergert were not the result of slipshod accounting, but rather a clear violation of the spirit and intent of state statute. How can a university enforce ethics in the classroom, when a cheat serves at the highest level of authority?

I hope UNO (Nebraska State University) has a good showing in Lincoln tomorrow or I guess I should say later today. I called about 4:30 p.m. to Lincoln to say I wanted to say something at the Regents’ meeting but they told me I was not within the twenty-four hour limit to inform them to speak. Racheal, the secretary, told me that seven or eight people had already signed up to talk about him. There is a half-hour limit for public input and at a five minute limit for each speaker that probably takes care of the time anyway. I am looking forward to going, it should be interesting. I am kind of the pursausion that who ever has not screwed up should throw the first stone, but Hergert had gone over the line. As a Senate in Student Government, I know that Layne tried to pass a resolution to have him resign. One of the arguments about it was that the Senators did not know enough to make an educated vote. Hopefully, that not will not be legitimate argument for long.

I was happy to attend the bored meeting on Friday. Okay it was anything but boring; it was worth the trip. I think after that onslaught he would resign. It seems like the embarrassment of the situation is enough punishment for the chap!

Thanks to all College Democrats that made the trip down to Lincoln to fight for what is just.
