If
ASUN elections draw 87 Senate candidates
Eight-seven students made it
under the Friday deadline to
put their names on the ASUN
election ballot.
Eighty candidates are
competing for the 35
Senatorial positions. Another
ten (including three of the
Senate hopefuls) are running
for executive jobs.
ASUN Presidential
condidates are Kent Apthorpe,
Steve Fowler, Timothy
Kincaid, Gary Schleiger, and
Doug Voegler.
Kent Apthorpe is more
commonly known as "Rick,"
the leader of Rick and the
Rockets, a 50's rock and roll
band. Although the deadline
for party organizing isn't until
Tuesday, Apthorpe has
tentatively joined the new
"Grease and Freedom" party.
THE PARTY is running Tim
Hartin for first Vice President
and Tim Sindelar (who has also
filed for Arts and Sciences
senator) as second vice
president along with several
senatorial candidates.
ASUN Sen. Steve Fowler is
making a bid for President with
the University Coalition, a
party which had great success
in last year's election.
Mich el e Coyle and Rod
Hernandez, both current
ASUN senators, will join
Faculty, students express shock,
regret at resignation of Soshnik
Faculty and student
reaction to the resignation of
President Joseph Soshnik was
mainly expressed in terms of
shock" and loss--with a few'
exceptions.
"Well get somebody else
for the job, but we won't
replace him," said Royce
Knapp, Regents professor of
education.
Knapp said he was sorry
that so many problems during
Soshnik's administration had
taken time that the president
would have liked to liave used to
improve organization and
instruction at the University.
"IN SOSHNIK'S TIME as
President, students at the
Lincoln campuses gained more
control over their own lives
than at any other University in
the country," Knapp said.
"The students have indeed lost
a friend."
He added that the faculty of ;
the University will also feel the
loss. Knapp noted that since
Soshnik came to the University
as Comptroller 13 years ago
faculty salaries have tripled.
Speculating why the
president resigned, Knapp said
he did not know if the
University budget fight was a
consideration. "But, it must
have been more clear to him
than others that the goal of the
fcxon budget is to check
expansion of the Lincoln
campuses and to hold other
state institutions at a steady
level."
SAMUEL TREVES,
PRESIDENT of the NU
chapter of the American
Association of University
Professors, said he had really
not had time to sort out all the
implications of the resignation.
He added that he was sorry
Soshnik resigned.
"Soshnik's loss will be very
great and very real," according
to R. Neale Copple, director of
the School of Journalism.
Copple said he felt a great
sense of personal loss at
Soshnik's resignation.
Copple cited Soshnik's
compassion for problems of
MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1971
Fowler as first and second vice
president candidates. Fowler
was chairman of the PACE
committee.
THE THIRD
PRESIDENTIAL candidate is
the Speaker Pro-Tern of ASUN,
Tim Kincaid. Kincaid said he
doesn't plan to run with a
party or vice-presidential
candidates but intends to
endorse some students for
Senatorial posts.
Another new party, the
United University Party, has
Gary Schleiger for president
and Jacki Barret for first vice
president. The UUP has no
second vice president
contender.
Both Schleiger and Barret
were active in the Rozman
controversy and both were
given letters of official warning
after being placed on
temporary probation during
sit-ins in the Administration
building.
Schleiger and Barret are also
competing for Senate
positions.
THE FINAL CONTENDER
has pledged to be a "moderate"
ASUN President. Doulgas
Voegler, who took his
alternative to PACE (the
Voegler plan) before the
Regents with the result of
putting PACE on the ballot,
claimed that his candidacy
students and faculty and his
continuing work to improve
communication between
students, faculty and
administration would be
greatly missed.
"IT WILL BE VERY hard
to find a man to take Soshnik's
place," Copple said. But, he
aded that locating a new man
is not an impossible one
The president of the NU
Free Speech Movement, Ray
Bamdad, said he felt Soshnik's
resignation was caused by
pressure from the faculty. The
faculty was unhappy because
Soshnik failed to support them
in dealings win the Regents,
according to Bamdad.
"1 don't think Soshnik's
tesignation will have much
effect on the' Lincoln
campuses, because Soshnik
never, had much effect on the
Lincoln Campuses." another
student commented.
Steve Tiwald, president of
the Associated Students of the
University of Nebraska,
expressed regret when he heard
of the resignation. "I think the
students are losing a friend
with the resignation of
President Joseph Soshnik," he
said.
HE ADDED THAT Soshnik
had a "sensitivity to student's
views."
Terry Cannon, president of
the NU Young Americans for
Freedom, said he was happy
Soshnik resigned.
"He has been very, very
weak in handling the radical
leftist students on campus,"
Cannon said. "His failure to
take immediate decisive action
against the radical students
during the May disturbances
strengthened them."
A prepared statement by
the deans of the Lincoln
Campuses said they received
the resignation "with deep
sadness and regret, not only
because of our high regard and
great respect for President
Soshnik's educational and
administrative abilities, but
would provide students with "a
definite choice for the first
time in ASUN history."
Voegler will run as an
independent candidate.
The upcoming battle for
senatorial positions from the
various schools will vary
greatly according to which
college the candidates seek to
represent. With only eight
seats available, 31 students x
have filed for Arts and Sciences
Senate posts. At the other
extreme, the seven openings in
Graduate and Professional are
being sought by only three
