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. FRANK PARTCW Ml I H 1.

'Oil s 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. John W. Klein WANT Experienced Leadership?

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". The Doily Nebraskon Fhaac 4774711. Extensions SM.
