Pose 2 EDITORIAL Wednesday, May 9, 19621 jFC victorious 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.

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 tneattoi only a Couple. 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.

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.
