'Free, donation' cry
rings for 2 years
By Lori Demo
"Lincoln Gazette. Free or your donation."
For two years the Gazette workers have distributed their
paper on the UNL campus, on downtown street corners and other
places throughout the city.
Ron Kurtenback was one of the original staff members when
the Gazette began as a 2-page, mimeographed sheet printing
2,500 copies. So was Tom Headly.
Since then, Milton Yuan and Bill Arth-have become staff
members and the Gazette has grown with the purchase of its own
typesetter and with money loaned at no interest by the staff to a
paper with an average press run of 8,500 issues.
According to Kurtenback, five to 10 others help write and
distribute the paper. And these others, like the four staff
members, receive none of the donated money. It is used instead
to pay printing costs and the rest of the loan for the typesetter.
The reason behind the decision actually to begin printing the
Gazette came in February 1972 when Regent Robert Prokop
allegedly plagiarized in an article he wrote about homosexuality,
Kurtenbach said.
"We felt the Daily Nebraskan didn't go into it (the Prokop
issue) extensively enough," he said. "It was generally careful
about the regents

Contestants in the jousting match for ASUN
executive seats have chosen their positions on the
field of battle nd they fill all four corners.
Four candidates representing four parties have
filled for the top three ASUN executive positions.
Seventy-three candidates have filed for ASUN
senatorial seats and 24 names have been submitted
for positions on college advisory boards.
..." the names; were released Sunday by Lance Bristol,- '
A&Un electoral commissione?.. . ... r,v.-- "
, Brinoi said h did not know how many senatorial "
and advisory board positions were open In each of the
colleges. Ha said th number of seats will be
announced this week.
None of the candidates for executive slots are
current ASUN senators, although nine senators are
running for re-election.
Exeutive and senatorial parties are: the United
Student Effort Party (USE), the Active
Communications Together Party (ACT), the Celibacy,
Lysterine and Anti-Permissiveness Party (CLAP) and
the United For One Party (UFO).
The United For On party has placed the electoral
commission in a quandary, according to Bristol. Ron
Sindetar, the only United For One candidate, is
running for aSl three executive positions.
Bristol indicated that he questions the legality of
ona candidate running for all executive positions
simultaneously.
He said tha electoral commission will have to rule
on whether they wilt permit Sindetar to run for all
threa positions.
"There Is nothing In the (ASUN) constitution that
says he cannot file for all three positions, but there is
nothing in It about whether hi may run for all three,"
he said.
Bristol said the constitution does permit a student
to run for both a senate and an executive seat at the
same time.
It was reported that Sindetar may aDpeal the
decision to the Student Court if the electoral
commission does not allow him to run for all
executive offices.
The deadline for filing for the March 13 election
was last Friday, Bristol said. ...

ranging from assistant professor, to acting chancellor, to his
present position as executive vice president of academic
affairs.
He has seen the campus grow from the days when it
"stopped on 14th St." to the present multicampus system.
But now he's looking for "something new." Ho will
leave NU May 12 tn return with his wife Jane to Wisconsin,
his boyhood home.
"I'va realty enjoyed my work here," Hobson said. "My
assignments have been quite varied. Had I not moved
around, it might hava gotten old much more rapidly.
Retirement for Hobson will ba in name only. He plans
to help run a number of family enterprises, including Littte
Norway, a restoration of a 19th century Norwegian
homestead owned by the family since 1937.
"It's been a family hobby to restore this as it was in the
1850s," he said. "I've been devoting rny vacations to this
for almost 30 years. Whan i go back I'll be working seven
days a week on it."
Hobson came to NU in September 1050 as an assistant
professor of chemical engineering. He received his
baccalaurcata from tha University of Wisconsin and
completed his graduate work at Northwestern University.
Ha taught his first class in tha chemical engineering wing
of Avery Laboratory, which was a new building when he
arrived.
In 1957, Hobson became dean of the College of
; Engineering and Architecture after a year as assistant dean.
He continued teaching on the graduate level "unM 1959 or
1BG0." . . ,
Hobson said he went wholeheartedly into
administration in 1965 when he took over duties as vice
chancellor for graduate studies and research as well as
becoming dean of the Graduate College.

He was vice chancellor and dean of faculties in 13G8,
became vice chancellor for academic affairs in late 1968
and served as acting chancellor until February 1970.
He then became executive vies chancellor and, finally,
executive vice president for academic affairs.
While the campus has changed, many of an
administrator's problems are "still the same as 10 or 20
years ego," Hobson said.
"We still have the annual problems of persuading the
Legislature to provide a budget so the University can
maintain its standing," he said. This problem "varies from
year to year depending on the political mood."
