Nebraskan will interview all
candidates for the executive
positions in ASUN. Today, in
terviews with candidates for
second Vice-president are

and presidential candidates
will be interviewed in next

Sue Lutton
The University sports one of
the most archaic educational
systems of any university in
the area, according to Sue
Lutton, ASUN second vice
presidential candidate.
"Education prog : ms this
year have been progressive and
I see changes coming," the
Service Party candidate said.
"But more coordination and
student backing is needed for
real success."
ASUN must develop ability to
coordinate programs and ef
forts with faculty members and
administration personnel
because that is where the

power lies, Miss Lutton, a
junior, noted. '
But ASUN must also gain
student backing so the
organization can truly speak
' for the students, she added.
"The student voice is impor
tant," Miss Lutton said. "But
the administration has not been
acutely aware of it."
Miss Lutton said that she
believes the main way to gain a
student power base for ASUN is
through service programs.
"Student fees provide $30,000
a year to support ASUN," she
said. "Students deserve some
thing tangible they can see and
use.
"With a base of student sup
port, the faculty and ad
ministration will no longer just
sluff off ASUN," she said.
"They will have to recognize
ASUN's exlstance and im
portance. ASUN can gain
power."
Bill Smiiherman
The ASUN second vice
presidency is a carte blanche
which can be made into an ef
fective position, according to
Bill Smltherman, New
University Party's candidate
for second vice president.
"I think the second vice
president should be a com
municator between the student
body and ASUN," he said. "He
should also Innovate student
services and especially
coordinate and provide
resource information for com
mittees." The ASUN leadership should
be innovative in appointments
to committees, Smitherman
said. "But the leadership
should also give direction,
support, background and ideas
to the committees."
Smitherman also said that
dynamic leadership and an ac
tive ASUN will destroy student
apathy toward the governing
body. He described the
snowball effect, more ASUN
action, more student support
and increasing influence for
ASUN.
Smitherman, a junior, said
he sees a university senate in
the future with a broad power
base.
"However, it is best to effect
necessary changes with the
present government structure,"
he said. "ASUN should work to
create a broad based all
university senate."
And ASUN does have some
value and power now, ac
cording to Smitherman. He
cited ASUN's ability to keep
issues alive as it did "faculty
evaluation. He noted that now
the Teachering Council is con
s i d e r i n g university-wide
evaluation.

Mark Theisen
Students should see ASUN
through action, according to
Mark Theisen, ASUN second:
vice presidential candidate.
A University Coalition party
candidate, Theisen said
services such as the record
store and greater communica-"
tion with student leaders would
make ASUN more active and
more valuable.
"We will depend on talks
with student leaders, to get
ideas," he noted. "Com
munications will bring input
into our platform."
Communications must also
be improved among ASUN
committees, Theisen, a junior,
said. He added that he felt
committee organization had
fallen down.
"ASUN has the power to ap
point people to committees," he
stated. "If the organization
appoints responsible students a
lot can be accomplished
through these committees."
Theisen said that many of the
changes carried out in the last
ASUN session were ac
complished by individuals.
"If you can get an individual
turned on about a subject, he
will do his own lobbying and
work to get a project ac
complished," Theisen said.
But as an ASUN second vice
president, Theisen would place
top priority on the establish
ment of a university senate.
However, he added, some
solely student body, whether
elected or appointed, would
always be needed.
