if For Five men are seeking to lead over 13,000 students In the most important student executive body at the Uni versity. Included in the five are two candidates for president of the new Student Associa tion, Kent Neumeister and Bill Poppert, and three can didates for the vice presi dency of the Association, Larry Frolik, Rich Meier and Andy Taube. The Daily Nebraskan in terviewed each candidate to find out what he feels will be the most important prob lems he will have to face if elected and what he will do if elected. Today we pre sent the interviews with the candidates for president, and tomorrow the vise presidency candidates' in terviews will be printed. "I want to be president of all the students and of all the different colleges and of all the different living units," said Kent Neumei ster as he explained what things he would like to ac complish as president of the Student Association. Neumeister listed three main projects that he would like to start if elected: Teacher and course apprai sal, a pageant of Univer sity students for the Nebras ka centennial and a better organization of the alumni activities. He explained that he wants to establish a com mission that will co-ordinate different organizations on campus such as Kosmet Klub, the Student Union and Builders to design a pag eant for the 1967 Nebraska Centennial. "This program will in form the people of the state about the role that the Uni versity has played in the state's history," he said. He pointed out that a teacher and course apprai sal book of some kind which would be administered by the students would help to better the relationship be tween the teachers and the students so that they could become assistants in educa tion rather than adver saries. Neumeister also ex plained that the Univer sity's alumni associations and the friends of the Uni versity should be better or ganized so that the Univer sity's many friends could work together throughout the state on such matters as the school's budget. He also suggested com missions to do such things as expand the student tu toring program, investigate recreation facilities and text book prices and increase the number of convocations, es pecially those of controver sial speakers at the Univer sity. Neumeister pointed out that he wants to reduce the tension between the Greeks and independents by search ing for those qualities which the two systems have in common and rallying them together in such programs as the Centennial Pageant. "If I'm elected," he said, "I will use the best creative talents of all groups for the benefit of the whole Univer sity." Neumeister is a member of the Arts & Sciences Col lege and has a 7.763 aver age. He is presently a Stu dent Council representative and chairman of the Coun seling Service Committee and former chairman of the Libraries Committee. He lives in Selleck Quadrangle. Bill Poppert said that he felt "getting the new Con stitution to work right" would be one of his main jobs next year if elected president of the Student As sociation. Poppert said that the way the new Constitution and student government is set up there could be a Greek Independent split. "The new Constitution," he said, "lends itself to po litical parties and this of course could split so that one side is Greek and the other Independent. This could happen, but it defi nitely shouldn't." Poppert pointed out that organizing the new govern ment under the new Con stitution will be a full time job. He said that if he is elected he will see to it that the student government is a better all around govern ment instead of overloading it with a lot of things that really have nothing to do with governing. He explained that one of the main things he would like to do is open the Stu dent government commit tees to people outside of just the representatives. "If we opened the Stu dent Association commit tees," he said, "we could promote student interest in the problems of the Univer sity and also we would be limiting the representatives to as few committees as possible so they could devote more time and ef fort to a few." Poppert said that he wants to help independents get into some activities and he said that he didn't feel they had always had the chances they deserve. "I'm not campaigning on a pro-Greek or pro-Independent ticket, but on a pro-University attitude," he stressed. Poppert is a member of Pharmacy College and has a 5.9 average. He is a mem ber of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity and is presently a Student Council represen tative. He is chairman of t h e Student Council parking committee and 1FC rush chairman. Klein Withdraws John Klein today an nounced h i s withdrawal from the Associated Stu dents of the University of Nebraska (ASUN) race and threw his support for the presidency of the student body to Bill Poppert. In a statement to t h e Daily Nebraskan, Klein of fered his help to the new president in "drawing up and introducing legislation with respect to the proce dure for establishing the constitution and programs to make student government a more effective and signif icant force." Klein said he withdrew from the race because of a heavy academic schedule. His withdrawal leaves two candidates in the running: Poppert and Kent Neumei ster. Larry Frolik, who with Poppert, drew Klein's support, has paired himself with Neumeister a a Joint ticket The all-campus election for Senate and executive positions under the newly adopted constitution is next Wednesday. Klein said he held that the success of the new constitu tion depends upon the elec tion of competent people, and "with the exception of Bill Poppert and Larry Fro lik, I feel that the candi dates who have filed . . . demonstrate no promise of competence to effectively establish the new govern ment." Klein, who was a mem ber of the constitutional convention which drew up the new document, is a sophomore in the College of Law. He has previously been appointed to a position next year on the Student Court, where he will serve as an associate justice. Neumeister and Poppert, both juniors, were not on the convantion. In addition to Frolik, Rich Meier and Andy Taube have filed for vice president.
