(7S candidates vow to work
- A'
By Susanna S chafer
How does a student attempt to correct the
problems of a University? 'the United Effort
Party (USE) asks in its platform.
USE sxeC'-'tlv? csndkfsts ?y t'y bw a
few answersand the people who will show
some spark in getting things done.
"No more plastic candidates for us," said
David Hewlett, USE second vice presidential
candidate. "We found out real early in the
campaign that ws might have been playing
games as 'the candidates' and that Just doesn't
work."
Ron Clingenpeel and Sharon Johnson,
presidential and first vice presidential
candidates, respectively, nodded In agreement
The USE campaign is based on unity and
experience, they emphasized, and that will be
the bricks that build their rocky road to
accomplishment.
"It is important that we (our party) is
elected to together," said Howlett.
Johnson, pointing out that six of USE's
senatorial candidates currently are senators,
said the main problem in this year's ASUN
Senate is that the majority of senators "did not
know what they were doing." Johnson is a
senator in the College of Home Economics.
"Our candidates are fioiny into this
campaign with specific Ideas and programs that
they want to carry out' Johnson said. One
candidate is interested in revamping t!is Ko-op,
she se!d, and another has plans for establishing
a teaching methods course for graduate
students who have had no torching experience.
Jim Macomber, a senator running for
re-election, is currently working through the
senate to get D and F grades removed from
transcripts when a student retakes a course, she
said.
"We made damn sure when we chose our
candidates that they would be the kind of
people who would stick their necks out,"
Howlett said.
USE supports the constitutional amendment
jhat will appear on the ASUN ballot and
suggests that the nine standing committees
within ASUN be consolidated into three
committees. An education, a students' rights,
and a student services committee would each be
headed by a paid chairperson.
USE also suggests that ASUN add a press
sptAtary, m "erlmlnistrative buffer" parson to
work with the administration officials, and a
student organization adviser to be responsible
for attending and acting as a lisison with such
groups as the Council cn Student Life, the
Residence Hall Assoc. (RHA) and the
Interfraternity Council. The students in these
positions would also be paid. The executives
have offered to take a cut in pay, they say, to
fund this internal reorganization.
Educational reform is what students are
most concerned about, in the opinion of
Clingenpeel, and he said he sees an expanded
role for the Center for Educational Change
under his party leadership.
Housing concerns of students, both on and
off campus, are dealt with in the USE platform.
Besides supporting the present RHA-ASUN
lawsuit against the Board of Regents over
residence hall visitation policy and LB783,
which would allow the consumption and sale of
liquor on campus, the USE platform states it
will pursue a "vigorous investigationof legal
action against the University for failing to
provide adequate married student housing."
One of the USE senatorial candidates, Don
Thompson, is a married student.
A renter's union, to be incorporated into
the Consumer Aids Group, would be
established, USE candidates promise.
USE also proposes that ASUN be given the
power to allocate student fees and that the
newly appointed Fees Allocation Board be
made a subcommittee of the ASUN Senate, as
is the procedure on the University of Nebraska
at Omaha (UNO) campus, the platform states.
Relations with neighbors, particularly the
city of Lincoln, the UNO and the Medical
Center in Omaha, are a concern of the USE
executive candidates. They propose establishing
liaisons with each of these entities.
The platform also hints at the establishment
of an "all-University government" of students,
faculty, staff and administrators.
