Mast' of the candilates oa the Greek slate for
todayVASUN election fjtz that its purpose is to pia
udcnt input into the election, to get core students
out to vote and to get Greeks involved , ia ASUN
Senate. ,
Cut some slate members, who sin are candllatcs
from three of the four recognized parties and indepen
dent candidates, said they have reservations about the
way the slate was selected and question whether it wI3
fulfill its purpose.
The Daily Nebraskan interviewed 37 of the 50
candMates who are on the Greek slate.
Mary Johnson (Alliance of Concerned Students
ACS), Alpha Xi Delta member runnhs for Teachers
College senator, said she is not sure the slate is fair.
She sail it will hurt her party's chances of being
elected.
She also said cot all Greeks who wanted to run for
ASUN Senate were endorsed on the slate.
Not all Greeks were endorsed because the slate
makers wanted the best qualified candidates candi
dates who had the best chance of getting elected-,
according to Tom II. MiHer (Independent), Triangle
member running for College of Architecture senator.
He said he was selected for the slate because he is a
former house president and has held other offices.
Secrecy bothersome
Clarice J. Stevens (ACS), Acacia member running for
Professional Colleges senator, said he does not like what
he called the secrecy behind the slate. He sail he
wished he had been told his name was on the slate
before it was distributed.
Many persons on the slate said they knew they were
. on it several days before it was read to the members of
their respective houses.
"I can see how independents (non-Greeks) would be
upset (with the slate) because it sounds subversive,
Stevens said.
Ken ChristoiTersen (University Student Awareness-USA),
Alpha Tau Omega member running for
Arts and Sciences College senator, agreed that the slate
might alienate persons living in residence halls.
"I used to live in a dorm and I know dorm kids,"
he said. Christoffersen added that he thinks Greek stu
dents will vote for him and said he hopes this will
"even out' the vote.
Dennis Martin Ner .Student Coahtion-NSCX
Farmhouse member running as second vice-presidential
candidate, said he had heard the . Greek slate was going
to endorse him but said he did not completely endorse
the Greek ticket.
Lorraine IL'cJxs (ACS), Delta Delta DelU member
running for Arts and Sciences CoHrje senator, agreed
the slate is a kind cf controversial issue."
The Creek slate is a good idea if it rallies Greeks
and other students to vote and 'support people for
ASUN elections, she said.
I just kind of question the force cf , few people
instead cf a majority behind it, Hughes sail.
... Sie added that even though she questions the
selection process, she commends those who organized
the skte for their ideas. . ,
Evrfasd to time
Marian Lucas (NSC), Gamma Hi Beta member
', running for Arts and Sciences senator, said she thought
the idea of a Greek slate was good at first because it
"would have brought ASUN viewpoints into the Greek
houses.
she said she changed her mind about the slate's '
value because of the "way it has been handled.
"I really put the blame on Al Eve land, she said.
"II: hurt the Greek slate by not releasing it earlier and
, out in the open. He went about it all the wrong way.
i Evehnd is a Delta Tau Delta mtmber and last year'' s
Merfraternity Council (IPC) president who said he
coordinated The Committee of "the Faction which
selected the slate. t "
Another slate member, who wished to remain
anonymous said "if it's possible to run ASUN, that
group up there (in the IFC office) will find a way to do
it.
Welcome any endorsement
He said the slate is supposed to be a way to unite
Greeks and to get them involved in ASUN Senate, but
that he is sure there is "more behind it.
Others who accepted the endorsement of the Greek
slate but questioned the way they said it was handled
include Roger Davis (USA), Alpha Gamma Sigma
member running for College of Agriculture senator;
Laura Schory (USA), Kappa Kappa Gamma member
running for Teachers College senator and Ted
McCbnnell (ASC), Acacia member running for College
of Business Adminjstration senator.
"I will welcome endorsement from anyone who
thinks I'm qualified," McConnell said. But, "It'WouId
have been better public relations for them (The Com
mittee of -Hie Faction") to contact individuals (who
were on the slate)," he added.
"One thing they're doing is putting Greek against
-Greek and endorsing one Greek over another,"
McConnell said. "They should've opened . it (the
selection process) up to more than just a "Faction"
they shouliYe taken it back to house presidents.,
Several slate members sail they thought the Greek
slate was simply a valid way to get students out to vote
and to get Greek input in ASUN Senate. They include
l!ary Jeanne ViHiams, H Beta FM member running for
Teachers College advisory board; Slxeri Kane, Alpha Xi
Delta member running for Collie of Home Economics
advisory board; Lana Marolf, Alha Fhi member '
running for the CoEre of flame Economics advisory
board; Larry Ceiarmann, Ag Men member running for
CbSsge of Agriculture advisory board; Sandra D. Irwin,

running for Home Economics senator; Mary Ami
0Leary, Kappa Delta member running for Home Eco
nomics College advisory board; EH2 Mueller (Indepen
dent), Fhi Delta Theta member running for presilent;
and Steve Upton (USA), Ag Men member running for
CcHegs cf Agriculture senator. "
Upton said he is perturbed at the way people think
it (the Greek slate) is "bfc deaL" It is just a way to get
out the Greek vote, he eld, adding that he is satisfied
with the slate.
Another slate member, who asked not to be identi
fied , said the slate is "not subversive ... the way some
people think it is." He said there may have been good
reasons for keeping the slate secret because "indepen
dents who don t know anything alxnrt it" thick the
Greek - syuern is trying to pin control.
"Rumors are being spread by those people who
don't have anything better to do, he said.

Centennial
enrollment
boost aidsd
by publicity
After a two-year enroCmt slump, Centennial Col
lege is increasing its numbers rgain.
Enrollment is expected to increase even more next
semester when the Centennial program is included in
"Information for New Students', a booklet sent to en
roling freshmen. ,7 , ,
Centennial has been omitted from the booklet for
the past two years, although Centennial Director
Nelson Potter; associate professor of philosophy, said
he does not know why.
This semester's enrollment was 177, which Potter
said is the highest in two years.
Potter attributed advertising and publicity for the
increased enrollment in Centennial, which was star
ted in 1969, NUs centennial year.
In spring 1970, after NU President DJJ. Varner
traveled statewide promoting the program, and after
much publicity, Centennial achieved its highest enroll
ment of 241 this year, Potter said.
However, he said he thinks 241 is too many
f students.
"Vith the nature of our program, I think we
shouldn't go too large, Potter said.
Most Centennial students live in Love and Heppner
Halls in the Neihardt Resident Center, which is also the
location of about half of their classes.
They are required to take the six-credit-hour "Cen
tennial Course," which consists of one or more projects
proposed by students or Fellows (Centennial faculty
members).
If more than 200 students apply for the Centennial
program, Potter said, names are chosen at random.
Centennial in not an honors program, he said.
However, he said, "when someone has to select
themsdvts, it tends to attract above average students."
Since 1971, six out of the 14 UNL students who
have won FuTariit-Hsyes Scholarships for overseas
study have been Centennial students, he said. .
