Booklet aids potential candidates Because the moderator's voice was the only one that was more than slightly audible, a small group of students heard this year's more whispers than roars at the first ASUN candidates' debate in the Nebraska Union Thursday afternoon. Barely half of the main lounge in the Union was filled with students. Most of them did not listen to the debate and carried on their own conversations, : tending to drown out the speakers' voices.

Other special requirements (for example, a county assessor must attend a special assessor's school and receive an assessor's certificate.)

"I provided the substance, and the Extension Division provided the delivery system." He said anyone wanting a booklet may either contact one of the people in. his county who received a copy or write the Extension Division. The booklet is free. The booklet is funded by a Title I grant through the Nebraska Economic Development Program, said Shocket, who is the program's director. Anti-Permissiveness Party (CLAP), the United For One Party (UFO) and the United Student Effort Party (USE) were in the debate.

According to the band's director, Jack Snider, that amount has been collected for a spring tour on that continent. Band members have earned another $16,000 from candy, fruit and T-shirt sales and a car raffle, he said. Sales are made by each student Individually and the returns ar? credited to his account. Snider explained. "Lots of students are not sellers, and soma don't have time. But some like it and sell things easily," he said. Those who have not earned much through selling will have to pay more for the tour, he said. ,,ftl iniBsiJUHaa 173 Cis abort $323, inlaw At the outset of the fund raising campaign, the band had hoped to raise one-half of the $1 50,000 cost from public donations, he said. However, Snider said there has not been the overall response from state citizens that he expected. "But I don't want to bait people to send the band to Europe," he said. "No one owes the band a trip." Snider said the University Foundation is the depository for perscnal contributions. Edward Hirsch, vice president of the foundation, said the band has solicited contributions from University and band alumni, football season ticket hoidsrs and corporations across the ststa. About 700 to 1,000 individuals and corporations have made donations, he said. The band members deserve all the credit for soliciting donations, he said. Snider said future fund raising activities include selling bulletin boards and household products, such as fire extinguishers and household deodorizers. A $500 donation from the managers of Lincoln Safeway Stores was given to the band at the Tuesday's basketball game, he added. Snider said the band will continue mailing contribution requests to individuals and businesses. "People have said if we contact them after April 1 they will contribute," he said.
