of the four recognized parties in the election and repre
sents only candidates from Greek Houses.
The Greek slate endorses Phi Delta Theta member EI3

junior in Integrated Studies and independent candidate for '
first vice-president; and Farmhouse member Dennis
Martin, junior law student and New Student Coalition

Several state senators and Got. J. James Exon sat down
in the capital's basement coffee shop Wednesday for what
Newman Grove Sen. Thomas Kennedy had called a press
conference. But it turned into a forum questioning the
Nebraska . Legislature Appropriations Committee's
proposed $94 million NU budget
Kennedy, who began the meeting, said coffee shop
conferences were needed to get the facts about the pro
posed university budget to the senators constitutents.
"I asked Mm what he did when he wasn't lobbying,
Kennedy said, "and he said he was an English professor."
Kennedy said John Robinson called him Monday night
to inquire about his position on the university budget.

Kennedy said he asked Robinson why he (Kennedy)
should support a 23 per cent tax support increase in the
university budget when cattle prices are down and there
appears to be a droughts " " . -
"He could not answer my questions," Kennedy said.
Sidney Sen. Robert; Clark, vice-chairman of the Appro
priation's Committee, said he opposed all general fund ad
ditions to the committee's previous tentative $37.9
million NU budget, except for an addition for a brain
scanner at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Exon's proposed budget, scrapped earlier by the com
mittee, presented a "more business like approach."
His constitutents have told him to hold down the
budget, he said.
Exon outlined his objections to the Appropriations
Committee bill. He said the committee's budget includes
a provision o cash fund ceilings for a tuition increase,

Eveland, a senior art major from North Bend, refused
to identify other candidates on the Greek slate.
Eveland said he, Barb Hengen, and a committee of
select Greeks have been working on the slate since
January. At that time, Eveland said he introduced the idea
to some IFC representatives after one of their meetingsr

asked the presidents to find members of their houses who

Exon said maybe, although he didn't recommend it,
tuition, which he said is a large amount of the university's
cash income, should be set each year to cover 25 per cent
of the university's 'costs. In that way, he said, some stu
dents, although not a majority, would stop being what he
called pawns for the university system.
Professional fees
The governor sail Lis 1202 Commission on University
Funding could not get medical center figures on profes

dark explained that if a patient is sent to the medical
center, fees that a person pays go to medical center opera
tions. Eat, he continued, if a patient is referred to a
specific doctor, those fees are put in a professional fee
fund distributed among doctors.

sacred cows," at the university.
dark said he would sponsor a resolution for a commit
tee study of professional fees and the way they are
handled over the summer.
"Over-lobbied'
As the conversation turned to the NU budget in
general, Kennedy said, "I don't think the public knows
how much we've been over-lobbied."
Exon said, "We haven't begun to match the lobbying
with unlimited funds, especially from the University (of
Nebraska) Foundation," on these issues.
Pro-university lobbyists have done a much better job
putting out facts, he said.

referred to as The Faction. Currently, The Faction is com,

that he considers himself The Faction coordinator al

The group that did the slating does not include all the
members of Ihe Faction, Eveland said. He said there were
about six or seven persons who had worked on the slating
with Hengen and him. Eveland would not identify those
people, but he referred to them as The Committee for The
Faction.
Eveland said he first heard about The Faction from his
father, a former university student and Farmhouse fra

Establishing ASUN Senate ' credibility is the first
priority of the University Student Awareness (USA)
party, according to party executive candidates.
."You achieve credibility by establishing that you have
a sincere interest in the job, by doing adequate research
into projects before you start them and by taking
to do the job," said Scott Cook, USA presidential
candidate.
Cook, a junior political science major from Sdney,
spoke about the goals of his party in a Tuesday night
interview. Cook was joined by his running mates, first
vice-presidential candidate Susie Reitz, a sophomore
journalism major from North Flatte and second vice-presi-
dential candidate John Welch, a junior political science
major from Curtis.
'T.Vre dons with toy politics (in Senate),w Cook said.

"Ve have people (in USA) who take seriously their
relationship with the (NU Board of) Regents, the NU
administration and the State Legislature.
TNot dome overnight
Welch said that after the senators and executives prove
they can do substantive things for students, they will gain
the students respect. -
"This is not done overnight, Welch said, "but with
strong execs and senators, we can go a long way towards
establishing credibility. :
Noting that he and Welch currently are ASUN senators
and that Reitz is a former senator, Cook said USA execu
tives would understand Senate problems and would be
able to provide better leadership than the current Senate
administration. -tack

"This years Senate has done a lot and could have done
more if it had had effective leadership, Cook said.
The current ASUN Senate administration "has no game
plan, he said.

Cook said. "Its become bogged down in trivia lots of the
