effect on your future behavior?
Being a volunteer is a
unique experience. You are an
American working abroad,
only you often forget that.
You begin to think as they do.
Instead of waiting for them to
invite you for a drink, you
invite them. You learn that
coffee is to be served with
sugar, after the meal. You learn
that you need not be happy to
smile, and to laugh deeply, for
no explainable reason, is to
live.
YOU EXPERIENCE the
frustration of working in an
office with no materials, not
even a vehicle to take you to
the outlying areas where you
often work. And overlooking
your town is an army base full
of vehicles...but you walk. As
you are passed by these
vehicles, a thick coat of dust
settles over your body, and a
new insight of the world
military penetrates your mind.
Then you have to answer
questions from the people;
"Why do we walk while the
military rides?", and "Why are
we in Vietnam spending large
sums of money accomplishing
virtually nothing when so little
could do so much here?"
Why.?" Then you remember
that you, too, are an American.
You share with your new
friends the joy when the
United States celebrates a
major accomplishment, like
landing a man on the moon.
Their face becomes solemn and
they ask, ""Why does your
country want to go to the
moon?" And you struggle for
an answer. ,
EACH DAY your mind will
be subjected to frustrations on
a scale never before
experienced, or imagined. You
see plainly how foreign people
are affected when the United
States decides to flex its
muscles or decides not to flex
its muscles. You are not one of
the poor, but you learn to
empathize with them. But you
are an American, always. It
appears that everytime your
country attempts something, it
Make your education count. Share it with the other America.
Consider VESTA.

generally is for the benefit of
the United States, with no
consideration for other
countries and people.
You eventually grow angry
at the United States. You see
your country in a new light,
the obese, egotistical brother
who wastes its wealth. You
may even consider not
returning to become a part of
the monster again. Then you
remember home, the spring
time with the bursting forth of
buds and leaves and flowers,
the fall with the rustling leaves
and the biting wind.
You realize that you could
be a vital force, a necessary
vital force in the United States.
People must be made aware of
our image in other countries.
They must be made aware of
what programs are successful
and which ones are failing, and
more important, why. New
ideas must be put forth to
better meet the problems of
the world's people, not only
the United States' people. If all
of this, and more, is to be
accomplished, then the United
States needs desperately that
you return. And you pack your
suitcase and return, suddenly,
reincarnated.

This spring over 300 towns
and cities in the United States
and over 40 countries
throughout the world will walk
for development under the
leadership of the American
Freedom from Hunger
Foundation.
The Lincoln group has
tentatively selected its projects,
subject to approval by the
Hunger Foundation. Locally
they hope to aid the Women in
Community Service and the
YWCA in providing a residence
for displaced girls needing
training or counseling.
The residence would be an
alternative to unsatisfactory
home life for impoverished
girls from 16-22 years of age.
They also plan to provide the
necessary funding lor a social
worker at the City Mission.
The Walk wiil also add
funds to the projects lor aiding
fanners and small businessmen
m Mexico and to a water
development plan m Butswana
Africa.
The Lincoln Walk is
scheduled for May 3, and will
follow a circular 20 mile route
beginning and ending at
Seacrest Field. The local group,
coordinated by Dennis
Demmel, is currently recruiting
sponsors and walkers from
local organizations. A booth
for this purpose will be set up
in the Nebraska Union.
A meeting of the group is
scheduled for April 6. Walkers,
enlisted at the Union booth or
elsewhere, will receive a walk
card to be used to solicit
pledges of a certain monetary
amount per mile from friends,
families and businessmen. On
May 1 the walkers will hike as
far as they can as certified by
their card, marked at a
checkpoint after each mile.
Those interested in the Walk
for Development mav contact

CSL approves candidacy
of part-time student Anson
Shortly before the list of
Student Senate candidates was
delivered to the printer Friday,
the Council on Student Life
voted to allow Ed Anson's
name to remain on the ballot.
Anson, arts and sciences
candidate for senator, asked
CSL to overturn a decision by
the Standing Committee on
Student Organizations. The
Standing Committee ruled that

some issues and programs
logether before taking office.
His party, the University
Coalition, was disbanded after
the election. Tiwald pointed
out, so the party members
would not shut out
non-members from ASUN
work.
According to Tiwald, the
cooperation among senators
had beneficial results. "I think
we had a much better year
than before because there was
more communication between
executives and senators and
many more senators were
involved in projects.
"IF PEOPLF commit
themselves, to Senate they
should do more that just put in
two hours on a Wednesday
afternoon (ASUN meeting)."
For his part, Tiwald puts in
40-50 hours a week meeting
with committees,
administration personnel,
faculty, doing research and
writing letters. He took
incompletes in all course work
last semester because of the
demands of being ASUN
President but hopes to finish
some hours this term.
If a person decides to do a
good job, he advised, it means
sacrificing his other activities.
Tiwald, who was formerly a
dormitory floor president,
president of Schramm Hall,
and an ASUN Senator, said he
has no long-range plans. This
spring he intends to do a lot of
work on educational reform,
continue study on his double
major in sociology and political
science, and marry one of the
ASUN senators K.aren Hurt.
Overall, Tiwald concluded,
his term as president was very
educational and had given him a
very worthwhile personal
experience. The outgoing
president mentioned another
result of his year in office
which he won't have to give up
after the new election.
Last month student health
told Tiwald that he had
developed an acute ulcer.

Anson was ineligible to run for
office because he's a part-time
student.
In a 7-1-1 vote, CSL
declared that Anson could run
because he is 4in spirit" a
full-time student, said John W.
Robinson, chairman.
Although taking only nine
credit hours, Anson said he has
been a full-time student for
seven semesters, paid full-time
student tuition this semester
and intends to take 12 hours
next fall.
Anson was registered for 14
hours this semester but
dropped a course when he
became involved in the
Rozmar, demonstration in
ChanceJor D. B Varner's
office and subsequent hearings
before the S'udent Tribunal.
In a statement submitted to
CSL Ansan said: "i chose to
drop the class rather than
abandon m social obligations
and that's the only reason why
I am not currently a full-time
student.'"
The Campus Handbook
justifies a pan-time student
running lor office only if the
circumstances were both
unusual and beyond the
student's control. The Standing
Committee decided that there
wasn't sufficient reason lo
bend the rules m Anson's case,
according to chairman Meg
Hall.
CSL also ruled there were
"unusual circumstances
beyond Anson's control"
because of a misinterpretation
of election procedures by the
ASUN election commission,
according to Robinson.
Anson filed for office after
an announcement by the
commission that an
undergraduate with six hours
could run for office. Later the
commission announced that
candidates must be full-time
students this semester since the
new officers will be active this
spring.
Anson based part of his
appeal on a precedent set in
the spring 3 96 election, when
ASUN presidential candidate
Robert Zucker was declared
eligible to run although his
grade point was lower than the
required 2.0
