Student Politics
tht campaigning Is ove. The balloij
are now counted and again, th Interfra
ternity Council (IFC) slat has been vic
torious. We note this, even though the
IFC dropped its coersive measure of fin
in? for not voting. It appears that the
Greek men got out and voted anyway.
The IFC tMs year stated that Its In
terviews had taken en a new aspect and
that they were slating well qnalifled men
for the jobs available. Each Interview
tJt tfnite some time and the slate was
finally ptrt forth.
Now, all of us on the outside can look
m at the Council and see Just how quali
fied! these men are. They will have a
chance now to prove that they are aMe
Individuals, not afraid to stand up for
what they believe is right and for what
they feel Is in the best interests of the
University.
But IFC people are not the only onts
en the Council. Other individuals have
been selected through the general elec
tion and the various groups represented
on th Council. And it is time that a
few people looked at them and forgot
about the quibbling over how he was
elected and "by whom",
A quick glance rver last year's Council
points out to s that ihe majority of the
tnoppfsR people on tfie Council came from
these areas.
We sifll feel 'that there is a very def
inite lack of University attitude in the in
dependent groups on this campus. We
were eoinpletely surprised that the Resi
dence Association for Men (RAM) and the
Studsrt Council Betterment Committee
(SCBC) couldn't get together on their pro
yam this year. RAM council even with
drew the funds that it had planned to
spend on the election. We stated or ques
tioned earlier why this was removed from
SCBC support.
RAM released a short statement Ihat
the fnnds were for "Stndent ConncH Elec
tions" and not SCBC. Fine. But where did
they spend It? Did they get the Independ
ent ent to vote? What type of campaign
did they wage even for the non-SCBC
backed candidate?
To be perfectly fra'.k about the whole
deal, voting totals rere absolutely abor
tive! Approximately BOO less than last
year. In fact, tr,is is the first time in the
past three or four years that the total
has dropped instead of risen. We would
have liked to have seen a survey made
as to place of resident of those voting. In
a spf;i cherk, we found that a few Greek
houses had a very high percentage of
mn vote
Moving Into another area of election
concern, we should consider the amend
ment to the Council constitution. It was
necessary, for the passage of this Amend
ment to change the Amending process to
a more realistic one, that 30 of the stn
dent body vote.
The previous method of amending the
constitution was ridiculous. In making a
change we find we would have to wait
at least a year for any change to be
possible. Now Amendments may be ap
proved in a srwial election and take
effect while they are most needed.
Today, the Council will decide what It
will be next year. It will select the offi
cers and holdover members. The plat
forms and programs, the ability to lead,
inspire and direct, the altitude of service
they hold, will determine the future of
Student Government at the University of
Nebraska.

YOUR UNION
Continuing Entertainment9 1
Are yon wasting 22 a year?
While most of us will agree or state
frankly that we probably waste more
than that, we might not realize where
this 22 bucks goes. It Is your Union fee
one that is well managed and well spent
and many students are really taking ad
vantage of this part of their tuition.
Just what does the Union do? We don't
have the space to list all ef their serv
ices, but we do want to call year atten
tion to some of Ihe general areas of ac
tivity of your "Center for Continuing En
tertainment." '
The first major area is programming.
Students, under the direction of Gayle
Sherman, program director and Al Ben
nett, Nebraska Union Manager, have,
brought several speakers to the campus.
Speakers such 8s Victor Riesel and Rich
ard Armour to give Ihi student more
Insite into topics of concern. The Union
also cooperates with the Convocations
Committee of the University and has
helped sponsor, Walter Judd and Barry
Coldwafer.
In addition to their work with students,
they also help faculty and department
groups In bringing special Interest speak
ers to the campus, they fulfil a function
here that most department heads and
faculty groups cannot active publicity
and programming.
Cultural experiences are also a vital
tart of Union programming. The union
as sponsored various musical groups,
ivmphonies and singers. Probably one of
the most well known has been Jazs and
Java. Jaw and Java was hot well re
ceived at first, but is now one of the mott
well received and attended features on
eampuR. In addition to Jaz and Java, tha
union has how started its Stlite Beat to
gvi the student different type of fnu
ic. Another area, which the Union Could
and plans to move Into, is working with
faculty recitals and student presentations.
The Union is working to present a -,'def
scops of music of all types for the stu
dent's enjoyment and education.
Ani speaking of entertainment, we can
not eilarde the outstanding, low cost eve
King provided by swell groups as the
Foar Saints and George Shearing, tit

help the student get entertainment
to fit his budget, the Union has sponsored
low-priced, top quality. Student selected
movies for weekend showing.- They also
present tha Foreign Films Society to
bring to the student, faculty and commu
nity the works and presentations of olher
countries.
A new area that could even be expand
ed a bit. Is the area Of Documentary
Films. Such films as the Twisted Cms
and last year's Operation Abolition were
very successful In supplementing the stu
dent's education. .
Yon can learn now to dance, play
bridge ind bowl at the Union! lessons
art sponsored each Sear to help the stu
dent Improve his areas of entertainment.
Probably one of the most well received
and important areas of activity that has i
really caueht on-around the campus has
beep sponsorship tit the Ski Trip. Each
'year the totals rise and the enlhusiasm
and interest surges over semester break.
The Union has also started a new area I
of actlvliy this spring. The Union For- 1
nms Committee works to bring student, f
faculty and city speakers to the campus
to express their views on timely topics to
the student body. The next one of these
will be next Thursday, May 17. and will s
feature a discussion on Nebraska but f
more on that tomorrow. '
But what about the business area? The
Union gels $11 per student per semester. I
f 6 .50 of this goes to help retire bonds on
the Building. $225 for operating and f
maintenance, $2.25 for programming. The
business of the Union has, according ,1o
Bennett, gone up from 515 percent in all I
areas of operation.
The Union has established the new
Commuter Lunch Room where 25-50 stu-
dents eat their lunch each noon. Discount
meal tickets are offered to students for
use in the cafeteria. Students have pur- s
chased 8.000 of these since the program
was started in September.
The student organisations on the cam- f
Ens have a very special friend In the Ne- g
raska Union. The staff, a very com-
;etent one, offers service In all areas.
'hey ore willing to hlp you plan parlies.
sneechs, meetings, banquets and what
have you. I
Since the Nebraska Center opened, the
Union has been relieved of many of its
conventions, thus making all facilities
available lo the student. Bennett also
pointed out that the building usage has in- I
creased 30-40 since then. The Union is
also full, 300 three to four night each
week. 1
But what's our point? Well, very simply
one of commending the Nebraska Union
end all students and administrative per
sonnel who work "with It. Their Job Is a
long and hard one. During Ihe past four
years, a Union that was very little used
ond very slighlly appreciated, has be
come truly the "Center for Continuing
Entertainment" and has also taken on
aspects of supplementing the student's
education with its programming.
The people at the head of this organ
isation arc? never content with their job.
And they should'! be. If they were, prog
ress would stop. They are always looking
ahead, weighing the future needs of the
student, working to serve us belter. And
they are not afraid of criticism and sug
gestions from you.
There will be needs for more space,
more operajlons In the future. The stu
dent body Is growing rapidly. 11 will un
doubtedly need such facilities as a large
auditorium, more meeting facilities, more
food services and very definitely, larger
coffee area.
But this is in the future. For today,
your Union is serving you very efficiently
and effectively. You should consider them,
carefully and appreciate this service.

If you always have time
to do everything, get ev
erything done in time, and
never put things off, you
might as well siop read
ing immediately.
You are rare. Either
you've never had the1 dis
ease or you've e e n
cured.
Bat most everyone else
suffers from the universal
plague procrastination. . ,
Webster defines It! 'fk
put off from day to day;
to defer: postpone."
All kinds of devices and
schemes have been sug
gested through the years
to lick this habit. College
has been no different.
As freshmen we are in
structed how to use our
time wisely, to get the
most out of college, to
combat the problem if it
existed or prevent it from
taking root,
To a freshman, these
hints seem terrific. "Hoy.
I'll follow them to a tee,"
1 recall telling myself.
The year passed. It was
the biggeat chaos 1 had
ever experienced.
As a sophomore. I de
cided: "This is the time
to really get organized."
I dug out all the old lit
erature, re-read il, put
it away. I did not for
get it. But somehow, I
simply didn't have the
time to practice it.
As a junior, 1 find that
my life is more messed
up than I ever imagined
it could be. There simply
is too much to do In the
lime that's available to
do It in. ; !
A partial solution, I
discovered, Is lo turn
down Imitation to attend
things; but this Is almost
next to Impossible (o do.
Another solution is to
cut into sleeping time.
This is poor too, because
sooner or later, it
catches up.
' Why do all these thing
require denying something
else, I wondered?
Then, the other dHy, 1
read a letter sent out by
Mcfiraw-H 1 1 1 BuhlMIng
Company. Ict me phs on
their suggestion.
Thev call procrastina
tion the "cosily habit."
Here's what they suggest
to "lick" it. Why not try
this Hx?
1. Organic your ork.
List what you have to do
daily, weekly, monthly or
at special intervals.
Crossing off project.! as
they are completed is an
incentive to keep work
ing. 2. Make a time sched
ule. Mark the various due
dates on your planning
calendar. By scf iig dead
lines ond sticking to them
you'll produce more work
and get it in on time.
S. Estimate how long
tasks take. Keep a record
of Jobs and time required
so you can refer to it
when a task comes up
again.
4. Dcclne which Jobs
are most important.
5. Break up big proj
ects. Many efficient per
sons are guided by the
old Chinese proverb, "A
journey of a thousand
miles begins with a sin
gle step."
6. Tackle the hardest
jobs first. Many people
find they can get more
done in less time if they
get the difficult, least
liked jobs out of the way.
7. Handle things as they
come. Part of the back
log on many a desk stems
from delay in making a
decision.
S. Don't wait till you
have "lots of time." if a
job will take an hour,
don't wait till you have a
free hour to tackle it.
Many people can't find a
span of uninterrupted
time. If the job is started,
the first hurdle is out of
the way.
