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.

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."

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.

before, ASUN will be dealing
with problems that are really

John Hall, chairman of the

Senate defeated a motion
presented by Senator Al Span
ler Which called for the Uni
versity to discontinue fwing
all class rankings to the Se
lective Sen-ice Boards.
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.
The student, Cathy RusselL
dropped eight of her 17 hours
at the e n d of February and
requested permission to movt
out of the dormitory.
VagueAnswers
Miss Russell said she re
ceived only "vague answers"
to her request from the of
fice of Student Affairs so sbe
decided to move into tbm
apartment without wait
ing for a definite derisioB.
"'I cuuldo I see talking to
them for another month or so
and getting nowhere so I
