Wednesday, march 5, 1975 lincoln, nebraska vol. 98 no. 92 i -i n f) cuy m Three parties, independents compete in election By Rex Seline Three parties and a host of independents will be competing for AS UN government seats in the March 19 election, according to information released Tuesday by ASUN Electoral Commissioner Gary Hall. Two other groups were unable to obtain enough signatures to run as parties but one party has apparently made history by surviving for a second year of competition, Hall said. Parties, which obtained the required 500 signatures to run as a group, are: the United Student Effort Party (USE), the Sons of Liberty Party (SOL), and the Cut the Crap Party (CTC). The USE party was also on the ballot last year. The two groups which did not get enough signatures to form as parties were the American Party (AMP) and the Pro-Apathy Party (PAP). Hall didn't say how many signatures each party lacked but did say one party had tried using multiple signatures (one person signing many times). "They thought they had found a loophole, but multiple signatures are not allowed," Hall said. He declined to name which group had attempted it. Candidates for ASUN president (and student regent) are: Jim Say (USE), Del Gustafson (SOU, David Ware (CTC), Brian Thompson (to be identified on the ballot as IBM 360) (ind.), Dennis Snyder (ind.), Vince Powers (ind.) and Charles Rosvold (ind.). First vice presidential candidates include: Mary Jenkins (USE), Randall G. Jauken (SOL), Stephen R. Dager (CTC), Ray Walden (running with Thompson as an independent), Peggy Olsen (running with Snyder as an independent) and Clay Statmore (ind.).

Photo by Ted Kirk Salaries are 'critical point' By Ron Wylie Faculty salary recommendations are a critical point of difference in the latest UNL budgets proposed by the university and the legislative fiscal analyst, Chancellor James Zumberge said Tuesday. He spoke at the close of the Unicameral Appropriations Committee hearings on the university budget. Budget request figures from UNL represent an attempt at parity in education, Zumberge told the committee, adding that all studies have shown Nebraska faculty salaries are in the lower ten per cent of comparable land-grant institutions. Trying to prevent about two and a half million dollars in appropriations cuts, Zumberge told the legislators his proposed salary adjustments would place the university in the middle of the group of Big Eight schools, which he said was "a reasonable place to be." Flexibility "If the legislature can't do anything about the money," Zumberge said, "at least allow us a reasonable flexibility with what we have. Let us decide what we can do with it." Zumberge appeared with Duane Acker, vice chancellor of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Director of Journalism Neal Copple. ' Acker said the College of Agriculture would need $490,000 to place UNL third in the Big Eight. He said his college was now in last place at UNL in terms of salaries for faculty. Acker also asked the committee to provide $136,000 for an irrigation technology program, $170,000 for a food protein program, and an additional $32,500 for the technical school at Curtis, Neb. Copple, who assisted Zumberge in the presentation before the committee, told the legislators the university's Areas of Excellence program was successful after one year's work. No evidence "There is no evidence of any other public institution opening up as much as UNL has done," Copple said, adding that academically the program had gone beyond expectations. Lincoln Senator Harold Simpson questioned the procedure of funding university programs before results could be seen. ' "There's always a year we're behind in tieing evaluations of programs into a budget," Simpson said. "In continuing the university's funding for Areas of Excellence, we are asked to do something more, while we have no way of knowing if the first three-year program is working." "There is that risk," CoppLe said, but he added that six evaluation teams had already provided some information and that the evidence indicated the university's system is effective. Added funding was necessary, Copple said. "We have been told we weren't smart when we asked for the excellence program money because we didn't ask for enough," he said. Zumberge said that programs submitted to the Unicameral had already undergone a severe scrutiny, and that excellence proposals had been pared from 21 to five. Zumberge asked the committee members to consider the College of Dentistry, which he said was the best in the Continued on pg. 3 r Zumwalt: important to examine Preamble By Marian Lucas j "It is important to ask ourselves from whence we came by examining the Preamble of the Constitution," Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt, Jr., retired Chief of U.S. Naval Operations, said Monday night at the Nebraska Union Ballroom. Lecturing on "Conflicts Between U.S. Military and U.S. Political Policies", Zumvalt said that five inter-related elements rooted in the Preamble are needed. He said these are: forming a more perfect union by focusing on domestic policy, re-establishing the government through Civil Rights action, ensuring tranquility at home by allowing individual and group expression, providing for a common defense, and securing liberty with an optimum foreign policy. Visiting Nebraska for the first time, Zumwalt, a former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the United States has failed to keep its defensive guard up, so now America has to accommodate the USSR. He said when the Soviet Union first tested US resolve in the Cuban Missile Crisis, America had the will and strength to ward off the communist attack. Zumwalt said the Soviets now have a fearsome first-strike advantage because of their accepted military superiority. He said the United States admitted defacto inferiority when former President Richard Nixon visited the USSR in June 1974. Former Commander of Naval Forces in Viet Nam, Zumwalt said that in curtailment of aid to South Viet Nam, the US is dishonoring a commitment. He said that this decrease in aid presents bad implications for America's future worldwide. Gazing 500 years into the futre, Zumwalt said man will learn to live with himself and his environment by socially and economically integrating ail continents. He said habitation of the sea floor and raising sea plants as agricultural products will be realities. He said the world could, achieve these goals by collective development of the ocean by regional groups. According to Zumwalt, the world, through international agreements, should begin efforts to change man from a land to a sea animal by initiating exploitation of the ocean's resources. Zumwalt said the present isolationist trend towards a US 'foiUess' is a terrible ides. He said the United States h to recognize that future foreign affairs will involve complex inter-relations between countries. I Admiral Elmo R.
