Senate Candidates Seek Closer ASUN Advisory Board Ties Senatorial candidates from Teachers College and the Col lege of Agriculture and Home Economics called for closer cooperation between ASUN senators and their respective advisory boards in Daily Ne braskan interviews this week. Eight Teachers College seats and four College of Ag riculture and Home Econom ics positions will be filled in the ASUN election April 11 TEACHERS COLLEGE Twila Andreasen, Teachers College incumbent, said her three years at the University liave given her a chance to know the students' problems, the operations of ASUN and the issues it will face next year. She said she does keep in contact with her constituents to keep abreast of their prob lems. Good Working Knowledge A good working knowledge of the Senate and its issues is held by Ed Eervin, he said. Eased on his activities in Tsachers College, Eervin said he would like to coordinate t h advisory boards more with Senate operations. "Because of two years ex perience as a senator and a year as an associate, 1 feel I am qualified for re-election," said incumbent Kris Eitner. Personal Contact Miss Eitner said her com mittee work experience and continuous personal contact with her constituents, coupled with an earnest desire of en acting well thought out legis lation, were her qualifications lor senator, Susan Deitemeyer de scribed the reason she thought uhe'd make a good senator as the same reason she is run ning She's interested in the University and feels that stu dents should do something to contribute. She cited her experience in ASUN associates and com mittee work as 'her back ground. Genuine Interest A -"genuine interest" in all University affairs, particular 3y student government, and particularly that af fecting Teachers College stu dents, was expressed by Earb Doerr. Miss Doerr said her ex perience in activities, as an associate and in AWS, would enable her to make sound judgements lor the good .of her constituents. Incumbency "1 feel 1 hpve the -experience, being a senator last year," incumbent John Hall said. "Working on the public iBBues committee and being chairman of the academic studies commmttee has given me a necessary background." Hull said he would take the epportunity and responsibility of serving his constituents lur another term. mi. f row X i BRlGGsf mm Diane Hicks said that ASUN could be a vital force for the students on this campus if the senators elected were aware f their constituency and un afraid to carry through its demands. Senator's Duty Miss Hicks said that the duty of a senator is to listen to his constituency and to de fend it an any point of con tact where the best interests of the students are being thwarted. Because he knows his con stituents in Teachers College and knows their opinions, Kenneth Hobert said he would be able to represent them fairly. Owen Jackson said his membership in Teachers Col lege organizations has shown him that they need to be or ganized and unified in pur pose to help them function to gether. Jackson said there needed to be closer relationships be tween the senators and the constituents. Conviittee Work Having been an ASUN as sociate who worked with the Legislative Liason and Re search Committee, Becky Jones said she has a strong interest in ASUN and would ""really like to represent the students." Jane Klimes, running for re-election, said the lack of incumbents running this year might lead to serious lack of continuity and understand ing with new senators. She a l & her re-election would be an advantage to her constituents for this reason. Miss Klimes said she has the rational judgment to weigh both sides of issuee, and to judge the immediate and long range effects ul legislative ac tions. Three reasons were listed by Kflthy Kuester as to why he would make a good sena tor: she has exhibited lead ership through campus orga nizations which also giveher a good background; her as sociation with Teachers Col lege would help her to work closely with advisory board and student teachers organi zations ; and she has high in terest in student government, having spent two years as an associate, familiarizing her self with the txeculiv branch. Helen Larson's membership as an associate on the student conduct committee which pre pared the Bill of Eights,, has enabled her lo become well infuraned on the isBue, Miss Larson said. "1 want to change the Mickey Mouse image uf Teachers College," Linda Marchello commented, be cause it has the reputation of being less academic than any other college, when actually it is a s ""strong as any of the others." PKtt U r V K 1 PSJW! Diane Severide said she feels ASUN is just beginning to help "'create a University that is more of a student University." Miss Severide said sbe has bad experience ia student government She said ASUN should give students more of a say in student affairs and achieve a senate "truly for the students." Relating People's Wants Having served as an associ ate on the Public Affairs Committee, Susie Williams said she has had the back ground "In relating what peo ple want and what goes into effect." "Since the BID or Rights wont go into effect for at least several years," she maintained, senators need the experience now so when the bill is implemented they will know what to do. Agriculture and Home Economics 'I think that now, as never before, ASUN will be dealing with problems that are really revelant to the student.

Grage Averages Spangler argued that the University s e s the grades avenges of all students t fig tire class rankings. Thus, stu dents opposed to the war are forced to participate. Dick Scott, assistant to the Dean of Student Affairs, ex plained that a student's class ranking was sent to the draft boards only upon written per mission from individual stu dents. Spangler a Is noted that class rankings are unneces sary because ftudents can be deferred by scoring a certain percentage ton a- special se lective service exam, like regulations, but given the chance to live in an iso lated apartment, few would make the change," he said. "These regulations evolved out of purely edu cational motives," he said, "and not from the idea of filling a certain number of spaces in the residence halls." Group Living He said that many stu dents evidently agreed that group living situations do something for the individ ual and a large number of students presently living in residence halls will live in them next fall. "The statistics are more constant than the people," he said, in pointing out that although individuals may leave the residence hall from year to year, the num ber returning remains con stant. He explained that 18 per cent of the residence hall rooms have already been filled, which is more than last year. Accommodations With the addition of 1.500 spaces at the new three structure dormitory, the University can now accom modate 5,700 students, be added. He said the earlier con tract returning is due to students being "conditioned to doing things earlier" and that the date the bousing contract is received deter mines if the student re ceives his ball preferences. With approximately 4.000 entering freshmen expected to enroll next fan, Bryan said that be expects no problems in filling the 5,700 spaces in residence balls for the upcoming academic year. Freshman Moves To Apartment A University freshman wo man, a part-time student, who moved from Selleck to a private apartment two weeks ago, may have to qnit school unless she moves into Uni versity approved bousing.
