Thompson Planks Include
Co-op Bookstore, Parking
A student-run coopera
tive bookstore, expanded
parking facilities and a Stu
dent Life committee to im
plement the Bill of Rights
are the major planks in
ASUN Presidential candi
date Rich Thompson's plat
form. To provide better repre
sentation and closer senate
student relations, Thomp
son supports the formation
of living unit representa
tives who would inform sen
ators how the members of
various living units feel
about proposed legislation.
Voting Record
Each student should re
ceive a copy of the voting
record of the senators in
his college every two
months, Thompson stated.
"The senate should also
sponsor teach-ins," Thomp
son observed, "and provide
financial support to the
Free University."
"Then, too, a real stu
dent government should be
able to solve problems. So
far ASUN hasn't been able
to do that. One of the long
standing problems is park
ing." Shuttle-Bus
" "The state fairgrounds,
which are only used two
weeks out of the year, and
, which are already state
property should be used for
student parking, with a
shuttle-bus system to bring
students to campus."
"It's typical of our aca
demic situation," Thomp
son said, "that the largest
cut in the University bud
get was made in the libra
ry service, while the Union
is goint to be expanded."
Library Expansion
Student senate should in
vestigate expansion of the
library and the large num
ber of books continually
kept in storage, Thompson
ssid.
"But the most important
thing is that we're not ob
liged to the people who
we've been representing the
students to. The students
senate must be made fi
nancially autonomous, and
not continue to receive mon
ey from the Administration
through the Student Activi
ties Fund."
To establish ASUN au
tonomy, Thompson advo
cates the formation of a
University student operated
cooperative bookstore
which would operate "be
tween at-costs bases and
the normal profit level."
Finally, Thompson sup
ports a professions! lobby
ist in the legislature to
speak for the University in
terests. "The point of my plat
form," Thompson conclud
ed, "is to make ASUN a
truly representative, truly
autonomous student govern
ment that can solve real
problems."

Dial Service Will Aid Lonely
Three University seniors have orga
nized a Listener's Dial service which
people can call any time day or night
to have someone listen to their problems.
Philip Johnston said he, Paul Ronay
and Robin Simmons organized the ser
vice because, there are many people who
are lonesome and in need of companion
ship. Their service, which has been in
operation for two months now, is free,
although donations are accepted.
Advice Not Given
"We don't actually give advice,"
Johnston said. "We give them other
telephone numbers of people who can
give advice."
He and the listeners refer callers to
Family Service, Alcoholics Anonymous,
Divorcees Anonymous, Narcotics Anony
mous, organizations for people who want
to stop smoking or lose weight and
various religious groups.
If a person sounds suicidal he is
referred to a clinical psychologist or psy
chiatrist. Listeners may also contact the
police.
Most Callers Lonely
Many of the callers do not need such
help, Johnston commented. Most are mid
dle aged women who are lonely and
merely in need of someone to listen.
The service is listed with the Better
Business Bureau and plans are being
made to expand it nationally and inter
nationally. Johnston stressed that the service
welcomes calls from students at any hour
of the day or night. The number of the
service is 488-0768.
He said that although he and the
other two organizers will graduate this
year the service will become self perpet
uating. Could Need 24 Volunteers
Eventually as many as 24 volunteer
listeners, both men and women, may be
required.
Qualifications of listeners include a
sincere interest in other people and a
willingness to listen. A background in
either psychology or sociology would be
helpful but not necessary, Johnston com
mented. The experience would be very good
for people who are writing a thesis in
psychology, he added.
Johnston commented that the service
is unofficial and not connected with the
University although suggestions and
advice from the University are welcome.
The Inter-Dormitory As
sociation (IDA), which has
officially replaced the Inter
Dormitory Coordinat
ing Committee (IDCC), will
accept applications for the
vacated IDA vice-presidency
at its first meeting
Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the
Abel Hall Dining Room.
At the final IDCC meet
ing held last Wednesday, a
special election was decided
upon as the method by
which a new vice-president
would be selected after
Nancy Martson, S e 1 1 e c k
sophomore, was declared
inelegible by the IDCC.
Qualifications
Candidates for the April
6 executive election must
meet the following four
qualifications to be con
sidered as a candidate:
Meet University regula
tions for participation in
extra-curricular activities.
Be a member of the
IDA and agree in writing
to resign his position if he
should terminate his mem
bership in the IDA.
Have been a resident
of a University residence
hall for at least one year.
Not hold a student as
sistantship or a graduate
assistantship in University
residence halls.
Initial Conference
The Wednesday meeting,
which will be the initial
conference for the IDA
Council, will also set the
election procedure for the
April 6 vice-presidential
election and IDA president
John Fryar will reveal sev
eral of his appointments for
IDA positions.
After the meeting, outgo
ing chairman Ludwig, and
Selleck IDCC representa
tive Ted Suhr, denied an
appeal by Jim Arundel on
behalf of his unsuccessful
vice-presidential running
mate Paul Canarsky, Abel
sophomore, in the previous
IDA election.
A check of the Robert's
Rule of Order disclosed
that in the event, a candi
date is declared ineligible,
although that person's votes
are invalidated, they are
still counted in the total
number of votes cast in
the election.
Arundel and Norm Matt
son, Canarsky's campaign
manager had stated ear
lier that if a candidate is
' disqualified as Nancy Mart
son was, her votes do not
count in the total and con
sequently Canarsky should
have been declared vice
president. If Miss Martson's votes
had not counted in the elec
tion, Canarsky would have
received almost 99 per cent
of the total votes cast and
since 40 per cent is required
for election he would have
been officially elected vice
president. Ludwig stated that it was
the job of every IDA offi
cial to make the opinion of
each resident a vital part
of the organization he
added that he hoped that
the resident's opinions
"would not be lost in the
scuffle."
Fryar, in an inauguration
speech said it was the time
"for the IDA to begin work
ing on what we have been
talking about."
If the AWS Board approves
a proposal by former board
members Andrea Warren and
Sandoz vice-president Jana
Miller, Sandoz Hall will estab
lish its' own AWS judicial
court.
If the proposed court is set
up, Sandnz residents would
use the AWS court as an ap
peals court.
Unique Problems
Miss Warren said the maj
or reason for setting up such
a court is that "sororities and
dorms are so vastly different
that court board made up
mostly of Greeks does not
comprehend fully the unique
problems of a dormitory."
The Sandoz court could
serve as a pilot program to
test the possibilities of such
dormitory courts so when the
AWS constitutional conven
tion convenes they will know
how feasible such dormitory
courts are, she commented.
Intra-Dorm Elections
As plans now stand, there
would be two members elect
ed at the intra-dorm elections
in late April. The vice-president
of Sandoz would serve as
chairman.
One floor vice-president
and one floor AWS represen
tative would be elected by the
Vice-Presidents Council and
the AWS Council respectively.
