Old Ones Return
Early next week the old Masters will arrive to tell
of the University as it once was and of life as it still is.
The Masters Program is in its third year here, and is
already recognized by many as the most impressive and
worthwhile Student Council project.
Started two years ago by Dave Smith, the program
wm made what it is today by John Lydick, and this year
promises no less than the past, with Bill Coufal in charge.
Needless to say, however, it is the man in the street that
makes this program a success. We urge all students to
take advantage of the magnificent opportunities offered
to them by the Masters Program.
Many Eyebrows Up
The withdrawal of John Klein from the ASUN presi
dent's race somewhat surprised us, and we feel that his
action has removed a candidate who could have been a
very good president. Klein has suffered in the past from
a reputation of being a ''Greek-hater," and it is this repu
tation which made many wonder whether he would
have been a good leader for the student body.
Undoubtedly, then, his support of Bill Poppert for
the presidency and Larry Frolik for the vice-presidency
raised many an eyebrow. John Klein, the Greek hater (sup
posedly) passed up non-Greek candidates for the two
positions in favor of Poppert and Frolik. Because he feels
that they are the most qualified men for the positions.
We maintain that too many people are thinking in
terms of the stereotypes which Klein so brutally crushed
today. In studying the candidates and issues for this
election, we urgo all voters to follow the example of
John Klein and suport the candidates they believe to be
best, regardless of race, creed or home address.
Best Of Two
Klein's dropping from the race leaves us with a choice
of Kent Neumeister and Bill Poppert. The campaign will
still be interesting, but with the absense of Klein's well
known bull-headedness, we will have to rely on Poppert's
obscurity and Neumeister's occasional naivete to give us
meat for the campaign.
In a serious vein, we believe that contrary to what
ever many will say this is a battle of personalities, rath
er than issues. This is unfortunate, but accurate, we feel.
Most so-called issues are either not really issues or in
soluable by much better men than we, and we would
hate to see anyone elected on his ability to speak on his
desire to repeal liquor laws, create more on-campus park
ing or do away with women's hours.
The man we want for president will be the one who
shows that he will be capable of being firm when
necessary, of compromising when necessary, NOT the
one with the best command of the continual and petty
dialogue on "issues." The year ahead is vague; no one
can say what turn the tide of student government will
take. We want the man best able to find the tide, navigate
upon it, and divert it when necessary.
OK, But...
Probably the most obvious point in the recent Univer
sity budget controversy was the ignorance shown by many
people, both in and out of the University, of the financial
set-up of the state and of the University. With this
thought in mind, we congratulate the budget committee
rather than offering any petty criticism.
A budget that allowed for a raise in every state agency,
although this might not sound significant in itself, is a prac
tical and clear-sighted budget, especially with the finance
and taxation problems suffered by the state at the present
time.
The University got a raise and a realistic one at
that The construction problems would be taken care of
in part by an increase in the state construction levy. We
hope again that the Regents do not feel compelled to
resort to a tuition increase for additional funds.

Facts
Concerned With Elections
Dear editor,
Student body elections will
be held in just a week and
1 am very concerned with
the situation found in Arts
and Sciences. As you and
the readers know, 36 can
didates have filed for nine
positions.
Because of the great num
ber of applicants, it is im
perative that the Daily Ne
braskan does all it can to
inform the students of all
colleges (especially A&S) of
the candidates who are run
ning. This must be taken
further than just listing the
people, their ideas, etc.
I believe that the editor
and staff must write arti
cles explaining and empha
sizing the responsibility of
the electorate in regard to
good student government.
Printing names and quali
fications is not enough; we
must get people to read
about them.
The constitutional conven
tion has produced a good
document but now the Uni
versity populus must chose
able senators to see that
the Constitution is put to
work effectively. This will
be the first test of the
ASUN.
Speaking for myself,
whether or not I'm elected,
I would like to think that
students voted only quali
fications rather than the
position of my name on the
ballot or the sound of my
name.
Please impress this on the
minds of the voters so that
they might vote intelligent
ly. This is not only for my
benefit, but will also aid the
other 35 A&.S candidates,
everyone seeking a position,
and the quality of student
government
Gary Larsen
Editor's note: Mr. Larsen
speaks of a crisis. His point
is very well taken, and we
urge everyone interested in
a dynamic government as
opposed to a plate of milk
toast to learn enough about
each of the voters to make
the right decisions.
Inane Nebishcs
Dear editor,
Due to the nature of past
Student Council elections,
I was under the impres
sion that all candidates pos
sessed above-iperage intel
ligence and common sense.
However, upon returning
from vacation, I was
shocked to see the sort of
"cute" advertising one as
sociates with the hooplah
of trivial campaigns. Inane
nebishes were used by one
who should have been more
intelligent and another who
should have known better.
W. B.
Text Of Klein's Statement
My filing for the ASUN presidency was prompted by
a desire to see the newly-passed constitution effectively
put into operation on campus. In withdrawing from
the race this desire has been in no way diminished.
The new ASUN constitution, if it is to be at all suc
cessful, will require many hours of work in drawing up
new procedures and programs to give the new student
government an initial positive direction. Some of this
work will be trivial and some will be significant. It all
must be done. I will work with the new president, if be
so requests, in drawing up and introducing legislation with
respect to the procedure for establishing the constitution
and programs to make student government a more ef
fective and significtit force on campus. My academic
schedule for next year will provide time for no more.
I feel that it is essential to the success of the new
constitution that capable, competent people be elected to
fill the various positions. However, with the exception
of Bill Poppert and Larry Frolik, I feel that the candidates
who have filed for the executive branch demonstrate no
promise of competence to effectively establish the new
constitution.
I would thus encourage all those ' who support my
candidacy to support Bill Poppert and Larry Frolik for
president and vice-president.

Ah, it's finally over;
Spring Vacation marked ths
eDd of the second round. For
the first time in a week and
a half, it is safe to take a
deep breath and emerge
from the sanctuary of a bar
ricaded" library carrel. The
second series of hour exams
has come and gone leaving
only empty, tear-stained No
Doz boxes and ash trays
piled high with refuse as
evidence of their ever hav
ing existed in the first
place.
One can see evidence of
THE PASSING on the faces
of the students too. It is a
mixture of joy that they are
over and utter disaster, not
unlike the face of a five-year-old
I saw last week
who was just told that East
er was coming and supper
tonight would be roast rab
bit. These poor students are,
fcr the most part, innocent
victims of fiendish creations
concocted by certain sadis
tic professors who judge the
success of their hour exams
by the number of people
who jump out of windows in
the fifty minutes.
This is the type of in
structor who cringes when j
he happens to meet a smB- j
ing undergraduate. He hur- i
ries home and marks off the
days on his calendar 'til
HE day, the day he can
spring his masterpiece AND
GET EVEN. For a week or
ten Jays prior to HE day,
our little prof sits up to the
wee hours of the morning
painstakingly going over
his lecture notes -searching
for the most minute details
he can find. Gleefully he
puts together questions us
ing only the chemistry or
math formulas that are full
of loopholes or the w h 0 1 e
test centers on the G e r
man conversation that he
said wasn't important
"" After taking a survey
among several of my fellow
sacrificial lambs, I have
come up with a number of
typical exams that I would
like to describe so that you
By Gale Pokarny
will recognizft one when
you see it.
Short Quiz: For two
weeks you have been duly
warned of the up-coming
small and easy test In the
instructor's o w n words,
"But don't worry about it:
it will be short and easy
and don't bother studying
for it." So you don't The
next day you walk into the
room and meet the profes
sor at the door who is hand
ing out his 14-page manu
scripts now so you will
have ample time to com
plete the "short quiz".
Multiple Choiceless: For
the whole period you rack
your brain trying to select
the one that "BEST com
pletes the sentence". But it
is useless, none of the choic
es are right so you leave
it blank. When the instruct
or hands back your failing
paper, he tells you with a
grin that some of the
choices didn't contain the
right answer, "just to see
if you were on your toes".
Essential Point Essay:
You know the stuff back
wards and forwards. You
can write a "well organ
ized and compact" essay on
the French Revolution from
start to finish or you can
easily explain the economic
progress of the U.S. from
1865 to 1900. But what does
he ask you? "Compare and
contrast the methods nsed
by the Eskimos to build
igloos" or "Discuss in de
tail the windshield of t h e
Model T Ford." Man, you
can write on either one of
these for hours, after all,
each subject was well cov
ered in the respective books
by almost two sentences
apiece. That makes up for
the fact that they weren't
covered in the lecture.
Outside Essay: This is
really a sub-class of t h e
above and it occurs under
exactly the same circum
stances. Only the material
isn't covered in the text
books, it isn't covered at
all. The professor informs
you with a slight smile that
"If you are really interested
in this course as all of you
should be, you would have
done a lot of outside read
ing and known about this."
At this po"1 J'ou are faced
with a tough decision, mur
der or suicide. It's enough
to drive a soul to the evils
of drink while the rest of
the state wonders why our
campus is labeled the "sin
center of the state".
