J' ASUN will gain power with involvement-Wald ,1' I i fr-a I .5 ! 'V'.' ?: "The University faculty is scared as hell of student unification." Ken Wald's statement reflects his belief that getting students involved and interested in ASUN will provide a means of securing power for ASUN. The ASUN presidential candidate intends to mobilize student support by providing such possible services as a gasoline sta tion, a bookstore and a day-care center. The Service Party candidate in a re cent interview stressed tactics as a means of increasing the power base of ASUN. Besides mobilizing student sup port by providing student services, Wald would lobby for greater student representation on the various decision making committees in the University. Wald also emphasized the need for a University Senate that will represent the interests of all segments of the University. Wald admitted that establishing a University Senate will not be an e a s y task. "You definitely need the support of important faculty to get a University Senate passed. And you've also got to show the faculty and the administration that this will benefit them." Another important area Wald Is conr cerned with is the fate of the University in the 1971 Unicameral. "Money counts and the University has got to have it," he remarked. "If I'm elected I plan on spending a hell -of a lot of time with the Legislature." The articulate Wald believes his ex perience gained on the University debating team could be valuable in dealing with state legislators. "I think I can lobby for the University and the students more effectively than either Prier or Tiwald," he said. Wald said his most important concern is to bring about radical educational reform at the University. But he remarked that great education change will not come about in a year. One education innovation he would like to see continued is the World in Revolu tion Conference. He said that ASUN should continue to financially support the conference if the Nebraska Union cannot afford to handle the total con ference budget. Wald, a junior from Lincoln, is cur rently chairman of ASUN's Faculty Evaluation Committee and a member of the Publications Board. AFKOTC lunch Physical therapy program begun The Aviation Committee of the Lincoln Chamber of Com merce is sponsoring a luncheon Tuesday noon for members of the Arnold Air Society and Angel Flight student AFROTC groups. The luncheon is planned to familiarize the committee with the work of the students groups and vice versa, according to Col. Norman B. Hemingway, professor of aerospace studies. , The Board of Regents recently approved a program which will lead to a bachelor of science degree in physical therapy at The University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Assistant Trofessor Mary Ellen Sacksteder, director of the program, said 10 students will be admitted in the fall. An ad ditional 10 students will be ac cepted in the second year. Students must have had a minimum of two years of undergraduate collegiate work at another institution before they enter the final two years at the Medical Center. f piiiiij V' N !'". , ;-!.!,;.', ffi' In spring, a young man's fancy turns to water bal loons and boxer shorts.

"A girl in Pound Hall asked me why students have to wait each spring for the ASUN elections to voice their gripes,' Handy Prier recalled recently. "And she's got a very good point." Prior, the New University candidate for ASUN president, believes that one way to in crease the voice of the students is to involve them at all levels of University policy. To help accomplish this goal, Prier proposes that ASUN should form the issues for decision making bodies at the Universi ty, such as the CSL. A University senate would also provide more equitable student participation in the decision-making process of the University, according to Prier. But he added, "Anybody who thinks establishing a University senate will be easy is out of his mind." Prier, a CSL member and ASUN senator, believes that ASUN could be more effective if it would establish better communications with students and expand its student services. Another goal of the new" University candidate Is to end mass classes and impersonality in all aieas of learning. He said that such educational programs as the World in Revolution Conference are much more beneficial than the present rigid classroom structure. The University law student blamed much of the failure of ASUN this year on the lack of L7 A ' &m-A LlKiln Sine 1903 112 Q"smrr WOiVrtHCO MWlklft) AMERICAN M SOCttTV 0 (f tor the fluent in lUiutic, TSl V4IL fjK electric guitars, flTA executive leadership. "ASUN needs a slavedriver to apply pressure so things get done," he declared. The New University candidate believes his experience on the CSL and in the ASUN senate could pro vide what ASUN needs a student leader. Prier vehemently denied op posing parties' charges that he is out of contact with the students because he is a law student. ' "Just because I'm a graduate student doesn't mean that I'm over the hill and out of touch with the students," he said. "I have a proven record of ac complishment this year that has benefited students." Looking ahead to the 1971 Unicameral, Prier promised to actively lobby for University students. "The new focus that we ought to take is to lobby for the issues that most concern students," he remarked. stamps 1 PAGE 10 THE PAILY NEBRASKAN MONDAY, APRIL 20, 1970 AC .?( 'it 4
