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.

By Tom Jensen
You've completed your first political science course and
now are eager to file for political office. ,
If you don't know how to file or even, which offices you
are eligible to run for, a booklet has been prepared that will
answer most of your questions.
The booklet i3 called A Citizen's Guide to Running for
Political Office, and was prepared by Peter A. Shocket, a
UNL political science instructor. ,
Information in the booklet includes:
Legal requirements (age and residency requirements,
whether the position is voted on by district or at large and
citizenship requirements).
Filing requirements (where to file, where to obtain
filing forms, filing fees, who to pay and type of election).
-General information (when to assume office, length of
elections to enter).
Other special requirements (for example, a county
assessor must attend a special assessor's school and receive
an assessor's certificate.)
"I wanted to de-mystify the requirements for running
for a political office," said Shocket, who was helped in
preparing the booklet by Secretary of State Alien J.
Baarman.
Shocket said he hoped the booklet would get mora
people involved in the political process.
He said 500 copies have been printed and have been
distributed to a!! 93 counties. County Clerks, County
Attorneys, public libraries and the League of Women
Voters will si! have copies.
"The booklet was a joint project between the Political
Science Dept. and the University Extension Division,"
Shocket said. "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.
In his opinion r?!m2rks,
UFO candidate Ron Sindelar,
lambasted the other candidates
for "being on ego trips" while
they were running for an
ASUN offices. The Celibacy,
Lysterine and Anti
Permissiveness Party warned
students against the evils of the
Gliederfussler.
USE accused the CLAP
party of "subversive action" in
attempting to assassinate their
campaign manager, Dennis
Martin by using Gliederfussler
larva to poison him.

Band $36,000 closer
to European tour
By Pat Schnitzer
The Cornhusker Marching Band is $36,000 closer to Europe.
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.

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.
Streakers' strike two
. .
A second night of streaking on he UNL campus resulted in
trips to Municipal Court for four people.
The four, all male, were arrested Wednesday night and
appeared in court Thursday. Two plead guilty to charges of
disturbing the peace and were fined $75 each.
Two others pleaded Innocent. One was charged with disturbing
the peace and one with being intoxicated and with indecent
exposure.
Five additional arrests were made by Campus Security. Those
arrested by Campus Security didn't appear in court
The LPD estimated the size of the crowd at 1,500 to 2,000
people at 10:30 p.m. on 16th Street between R and Vine Streets.
"Well have to continue making arrests for any violation we
see," said Sellmeyer. "Hopefully this will discourage it
(streaking)."
He said the police force handled the situation "very carefully."
"We'll continue handling them the same way, using officers
trained in this type of activity and talking to the parties
Involved," Sellmeyer said.
