9303 eligible voters
Sue Ihne, current RHA president, said all of the
approximately 4 00 UNL residence hall occupants are
eligible to vote in the elections.
Ihne said measures have been taken to avoid a repeat of
controversy Ike that which occurred over the outcome of
last year's RHA elections.
Defeated presidential candidate Ray Walden and rus
running mate, Kathy Whittaker, asked the RHA Election
Commission to declare the results invalid, because of an
alleged loss of voting time in Neihardt Residence Center.
Walden contended that ballots were lost during lunch at
the center, making it impossible for residents to vote.

The commission, which determined election rules,
Golden egg worth $50
Students on the seventh floor of Cather Residence
Ilall will sponsor a golden egg hunt.
The "golden egg" is a plastic egg worth a $50 prize
to the finder, said Mike Norris, floor president and a
sophomore pre-med major from Wymore.
However, to hunt the egg, searchers first must buy a
50 cent ticket, which will be on sale today through
April 9, from one of Cather seven's residents.
The egg hunt will be from April 12 to April 16 or
until someone finds the egg, which will be hidden on
City Campus.
Income from ticket sales will cover the $50 prize
and advertising costs, Norris said. Daily advertising in
the Daily Nebraska will give clues to the egg's location,
he said.

The UNL Printing and Duplicating Service repairs cards
at the end of each season. The cost was $32.45 in 1974
and $57.94 in 1975.
Gamma Lambda also receives an allocation of $375
from the UNL Athletic Dept. to pay for clerical help and
the card section coordinator's $200 salary, Jauken said,
i Gamma Lambda contracts with the Athletic Dept. to
run the card section, he. said, along with Com Cobs and
Tassels, UNL spirit organizations.
Goeller said groups had not been fined during the 1973
and 1974 football seasons, but she said she imposed fines
last fall in an effort to make the card section look better.
Privilege to sit there
"If people would understand the seriousness of the sec
tion and that it is a privilege to sit there, maybe they
could make the section look a lot better," Goeller said.
Penalties are in accordance with the contract Gamma
Lambda has with the Athletic Dept., she said.
In the two years fines were not imposed the Athletic
Dept. has picked up the tab for repairing the cards and has
not questioned it, Jauken said.
With the $405 from fines, the Athletic Dept. will not
have to pay the bill, Jauken said.
Goeller said fines again will be assessed during next
fall's games, but said she hopes the section will improve so
there won't be as many fines. 1
"We had an overall good season last year,'' die added,
and some new kinds of flashes will be tried next fall.
"We want to make it more challenging for the people
in the section," she said, "and if each person does as the
little card (which tells what color should be flashed) says
and follows the people down front (who tell the section
when to flash the cards) it will be a good section."
denied Walden's request that the election be voided. They
also decided a new election would be unfair because of
additional publidty Walden had received.
Ihne said they would be "more careful with ballots
this year to avoid, that happening again.
Also, this year the Election Commission has a repre
sentative from each resident hall, she said.
Election Commission chairman and RHA vice-president
-Tom Bradley said candidates may campaign "any way
they want" from now until election day. Campaigning is
not allowed on election day, he said.
The commission has determined this year's candidates
may campaign together or as parties, but the ballot wi3
list their names according to offices, not according to
parties as they did last year, she said.
Foiling places will be in the cafeteria lines at all resi
dence halls during the lunch and dinner hours, Ihne said.
Red Cross urges
blood donations
by UNL students
University Red Cross (URC) will try to collect 240
pints of blood for the Omaha Regional Blood Center
in a one-day blood drive Thursday, said Avery Loshen,
URC president and a junior journalism major from
Upland.
Elood can be donated from 10 ajn. to 4 pjn. at the
Abel-Sandoz Residence Hall Complex North Lounge,
Loshen said. Persons interested in donating blood should
arrange an appointment through their living unit health
aids or go directly to the collection center.
After the 15 to 20 minutes necessary to donate blood,
he said, the doner must sit at the donation center about
five minutes where refreshments will be served. A doner
who feels "uneasy" is asked to stay another 10 to 15
minutes, Loshen said.
In the short time it takes to give blood, Loshen said,
much good is done. A "fantastic amount" of blood is
needed for the Omaha Regional Elood Center, which
supplies blood, for Nebraska and parts of Iowa, he said.
Loshen added that persons donating blood are given
priority at blood banks if they need blood.
URC collects blood during a- two-day drive in the
fall and a one-day drive in the spring, Loshen said. They
try to collect 200 pints of blood daily, he said.
Arnold Air Society and Angel Flight will assist URC
during the blood drive.
