The vote Thursday ended a two week long debate concern ing the spring election rules. Many senators opposed the original ASUN Electoral Com mission report on the grounds that the rules would severely restrict the campaign tactics of candidates. Because the special ASUN Senate meeting Thursday did not have a quorum. First Vice President Diane Theisen ac cepted votes by proxy and by telephone. -1 . There was Senate opposition two weeks ago to the procedure used to approve the election rules. Many senators felt that the Senate should have the right to amend the Electoral Commission's report. However, student court ruled that the Senate could only ap prove or reject the Commis sion's report Last week the Senate ap proved only the part of the Commission's report dealing with the election schedule. Thursday the Senate in its uni que manner approved the rest of the election report. The approved election rules requires that each candidate must spend his money on his own personal campaign with Skinner to candidates Misery is an ASUN VP by BRUCE WIMMER Nttraskan Stan Writer An apparently disillusioned Brent Skinner Thursday knocked the job of ASUN se cond vice president, a position he has held all year. The only real purpose of the ASUN second vice president is to "get votes for the executive slate," according to Brent Skinner, the current office holder. "If there Ls a good strong president and first vice presi dent, as was the case this year, then there is no need for my office," Skinner said Thursday. "I've done very little this mm On April 22nd tht first National Environ mental Teach In will bt held at colleges and universities across the nation.

No ex ecutive candidate may spend more than $50 and no senatorial or advisory board candidate may spend more than $35. ASUN candidates this year can legally use such campaign tactics as . loudspeakers on vehicles caravans, outdoor pep rallies and chalking of The official ASUN campaign rules: Candidates must follow poster and sign regulations. Each candidate shall be responsible for actions taken on his behalf. Publicity on vehicles must year because I wasn't needed," he said. Skinner added however, "As things stand now I think we might need five or six second vice presidents next year." In ' spite of his apprent dissatisfaction with the pro posed execuiive slates, the se cond vice president declined to comment on the candidates. The ASUN constitution makes the second vice presi dent "a member of the Elec toral Commission, Executive Committee and the Student Cabinet. To assume such duties within the Executive branch as shall be assigned by the Presi dent. . ." Although the executive com mittee met several times, ac cording to Skinner, "my main job was as chairman of the electoral commission." The student executive also branded this year's student senate as "really unimpor tant." Skinner said the senate "could do something" but add ed that it is currently "a prestigous debating society." "Thanks to student politics the senate is not fairly representing the students," Skinner said. Feminists march Cont'd from p. 1 Mrs. Alinder noted the dif ficulty single women have In obtaining birth control pills In Lincoln. "There is no law against prescribing birth con trol pills to single women," she said. Yet, docfors, who are mostly men, believe It is their responsibility to dictate morals. "The moral decision should be made by women, not doc tors," Mrs. Alinder contend ed. "We have to convince single women to demand birth control pills if they want them," Mrs. Alinder said. One problem that libertionists must fight is the ignorance of women. "Women have not been allowed to realize their poten tial as leaders," she said, primarily because women have been considered ''fragile creatures and sexual objects for men." Mrs. Alinder noted that Women's Action Group is composed of about 15 "hard core members" and "many other less active supporters." The group Is composed of be placed on that vehicle by its owner. All candidate campaign activities must be in accord with accepted University and Municipal Standards of con duct. Persons engaged in active campaigning or candidate campaign material must not be located within 200 feet of elec tion booths. Fastening posters to trees, utility poles or public buildings will not be permitted. No signs or posters may be placed on University grounds. Chalking of buildings or use of classroom blackboards is prohibited. Violations of any of these regulations can result in can didate disqualification. "I suppose the students elected ihem," the junior said, "but I don't think most of those who vo ed knew what the can didate stood for." Skinner was especially critical of the World in Revolu ion Conference and Time-Out. He termed the pro grams a "waste." "Frankly those events attract penl hat agree with such activ's ideals anyway," the second vice president said. "Mavbe I'm wrong," he said, "but T don't think the majority of te students want to spend $6 000 on conferences that are anti-war or that urge violence and power over compromise." Skinner said the senate "slit Its own throat and then tried to create something (a governing group) more powerful." The resulting Council on Student Life, he said, would ideally be elected "but then you look at the senate. . ." He urged students to vote In the upcoming student elections. "Sure there's apathy," Skinner said, "but the executives are especially important. I don't think most students realize that these people represent students to the rest of the state. housewlfes and students and is not characterized by one socio economic group or race. Women's Action Group does not parallel most national liberation groups In dogma. "We're not militant," she reiterated. Mrs. Alinder, who teaches a natural birth class In her home, said the Women's Action Group, unlike most national feminist organizations, believes It ls possible "for women to glory In pregnancy and make it a beautiful and exciting ex perience." If all a man wants ls a shadow, a person to cook his meals and an object to have a good time with in bed, then perhaps he will oppose women's liberation reforms, she said. But, if he wants a woman who ls a human being, an in tellectual companion and more than a passive lover, he should favor the liberating reforms that will make his wife a more exciting mate and a woman who can be an addition to the husband and wife relationship, Mrs. Alinder said.
