Rasmussen, has been chosen by the ASUN search committee. If the nomination of the new lawyer is approved by the Regents, Rasmussen will move into the new position August 1. The student legal services center has been without a lawyer since the end of June, when the contract for Bruce. Hamilton end Doug German, the former student lawyers, expired. Rasmussen, who graduated from the University of Neb raska law school in 1972, has been working for the firm of Wagoner and Youngs in Lincoln. He noted that he left private law practice to accept the post as student lawyer because he has "always been fond of the university. I spent six and a half years here going to school." In addition, he said he felt there was a real need for legal services for students. "I've represented students before," he said, "and- 1 believe that students are among the groups in society who can least afford a private attorney. . ' "Most students I've worked , with have been very alert and aware of the legal problems they're encountering." - He- added,'---however; that"""" .eves if sluuVnts recognize the legal problems, "they may not know the legal ropes. It's a distinct advantage having a lawyer handy to just run in on." When Rasmussen was in the business college at UN-L he served as a student senator in the year 1967-G8. He later served as a student court justice. He noted that "When I was here ASUN sponsored dances and social activities. The services provided by ASUN have grea'ly increased, they're now sponsoring worthwhile programs such as the student, legal Mr vices."

Rasmussen mentioned that while in the position as student lawyer he hopes to write some booklets on problem areas for students. Such areas would include arrests, landlord-tenant problems, and if possible he said he would expand on areas such as wills. In addition, he said, "I would like to make myself as available as possible for lectures and seminars to student groups such as Greek houses or dormitories." He noted that he can also anticipate handling legal prob lems in these problem areas as well as in some family relations problems. "We haven't decided what to do yet when two students are involved," he added. He said that plans beyond his y ear " In the student ' legal services center are hazy.
