Unity and progress are concepts as
traditional to American philosophy as
liberty and democracy. So it's fitting
that candidates of. the Unity and
Progress (UP) party in the upcoming
ASUN elections promise a
star-spangled way to achieve their
aims: good hard work.
"ASUN is now a law-making body;
what ASUN says does not
automatically become policy," says
UP in its party platform. "UP
recognizes this and consequently
thinks students' concerns can best be
served by being a vocal aWj persistent
advocate of stydentscgncrv.'
ASUN can be an effective student
government, says UP, but only if
student senators "work diligently with
the students' interest in mind."
UP executive candidates are Bill
Freudenburg for president, Karen
Richardson for first vice-president and
Sue Overing for second vice-president.
As far as administration goes, UP
would add to it, in the form of a
"fines and fees appeals board" and an
"office of student aid and recourse."

Union Board
New Union Board officers
have been announced. They
are: president, Mary Cannon;
vice president, Dennis Martin;
and Secretary, Mike McCahon.
New members include Wendy
Baltimore, Mike McCahon,
Vince Boucher and Dave
Morrison.
Environment
T.M. McCalla will speak on
feedlot pollution for the
Environmental Information
Series tonight at 7:30 in the
Nebraska Union main lounge.
The UP platform sees ASUN's role
mainly as a student advocate beore the
University administration and as a
catalyst for educational reform.
The appeals board, to be composed
of students and administrators, would
allow a student protesting a fine or fee
assessment to have his case judged by
his peers as well as by administrators.
The student aid office would serve
as a central information center for
students and coordinate all current
student assistance programs such as
Help Line and the Ombudsman.
In its educational proposals, UP
suggests reforms in teacher evaluation
and adoption of an "academic
bankruptcy" system.
UP supports a plan calling for
evaluation on a regular basis of all
UNL teachers. The results of the
evaluations should be released to
students, UP says.
The academic bankruptcy plan
which currently is being used at the
University of Indiana would allow a
student to wipe clean his academic
slate for an entire semester for almost
any personal reason, such as
unsatisfactory grades.
UP also supports improved drop
and add procedures, by mail or
telephone for instance and a general
University sensitivity toward allowing
"as much diversity as possible in
education programs."
Some ways to achieve diversity
which UP supports are: expanding
Free University, introducing a
student-faculty co-advising system and
strengthening the UNL Center for
Educational Change.

Economics
An informal discussion on
American-East Asian economic
relations, featuring East Asian
and Australian Business and
Economic writers, will be held
at 8 p.m. Thursday in the
Union.
Pre-vet
UP also would give more emphasis
to following up on senate-directed
action, insuring that "persons
appointed to committees or
committee chairmanships will do their
job."
The UP platform takes a stand
opposing recommendations of the
recently-released Student Affairs study
of student fees. UP says the four task
force reports propose changes that
"could jeopardize the effective
operation" of student fees-supported
agencies.
UP opposes "insufficient student
representation" on the all-University
board proposed by the task forces to
spend student fees money. The party
also opposes "the zero-base funding
concept, which could leave major
student organizations with funds one
year and none the next."
Other UP proposals:
-publicize and rejuvenate interest
in the Program for Active
Commitment to Education (PACE). .
-continue support of the UNL
Infant and Child Care Center.
-strengthening of the ASUN book
exchange.
-coordinate all studies of ways to
improve parking congestion on
campus; make East-City campus
shuttle system more efficent.
-furthur develop the ASUN Koop
with emphasis on student-owned and
franchised businesses.
-make dormitories more livable
through cooperation with the
Residence Halls Association, including
increased visitation and alcohol
consumption privileges.
