Although Braskamp said U of I w2I pay him more than
his current UNL annual salary of $23,000, he said salary
considerations "played no part" in his decision to take the
new job.
He declined to disclose his new salary, but said the
total salary package will be about the same considering
items such as the cost of finding a new home.
Earl Porter, secretary of U of I's Board of Trustees, the
campus governing board, said no record of Braskamp's
appointment or salary has reached the board office.
He said he thinks the appropriate time to release
information about the appointment and salary would be
when records of it reach his office to be presented to the
board. - .. . :::V " ;-'-"'-'"
Braskamp said he will work with Roy Young, new
UNL chancellor, when Young takes office June 1. Bras
kamp said Young told him he would select a new assistant

Decentralization of industry and farming is urged by

Hess, speaking to about SO people Thursday evening in
the Nebraska Union as a part of the Union Program Coun-.
c3s Yfedom of the Ycst Syinposlum, said family farming
systems are being forced cut by corporate ventures.
"I really have co factual bash, but if Nebraska is like

Corporate farms are concerned with profits, more than
quality or quantity, he said. -

The ASUN Electoral Gommsion heard arguments for
and against seven complaints filed with the commission by
. Panl Klornson, ASUN second vice-president, in aa effort
to nullify the ifarch 17 ASUN elections.
Monison, a graduate student from St. Paul, Neb., is the
defeated presidential candidate of the AHiance of Con
cerned Students party. ;
At press time, the commissxm had not decided
whether to accept the complaints and call new elections.
' During 1 the hearing, the comnmsioa asked for
testimony concerning each of Morrison's seven election
complaints. v
Concerning the first complaint, that graduate and pro
fessional students voted for both graduate and profession
al candidates, Morrison said he personally voted for both
graduate and professional candidates when he voted at
Nebraska Union. He said the poll worker gave him both
professional and graduate ballots even though he said his
student identification cerd indicated he was a graduate
student.
Dennis Martin, a law student from Elgin, said he also
was given both graduate and professional ballots as weS as
an outstanding teachers ballot when he voted at the
Union. -
About the second complaint, that a graduate student
voted in the Teachers College election, Morrison said
Carolyn Grice, a graduate student, was given a Teachers
College ballot when it was discovered the polling place v
was out of graduate ballots and that she had been in
Teachers College as an undergraduate.
On the third complaint, that there was no list of pro
fessional students at the Nebraska Hall polls, Morrison
said a professional student tried to vote at Nebraska IM,
but her came was cot on the professional students roster
there. ' ,
On- the fourth complaint, that a student voted five
- times at the Union, Morrison said the student used differ- '
ect student identification cards each time and washed the
fhiorescentJnk off his thumb each tune.
Concerning the fifth and sixth complaints, that no
sample ballots were posted at the polls and that electoral
commissioners were not sworn in by a justice of the
ASUN Student Court, Commissioner Ray Waklen
admitted they were "technical violations on the com
mission's part but wondered if they were sufficient
offenses to nullify the entire elections.
As for the seventh complaint, that a letter sent out by
"The Faction' to Greek House presidents containing the
sentence beginning, "We began this campaign. . ., con
stituted campaign literature which was not included on
financial statements of candidates endorsed by 'The
Faction.
Al Eveland, a senior art major from North Bend and
Barb Hengen, a senior secondary education major from
Wahoo, both organizers of the Greek slate, contended the
letter was not campaign material but an endorsement of
certain candidates by persons interested in the election
outcome.
They said the slate was cot a separate party because
candidates on the slate belonged to several parties.
If an industry moves into a town, the town should
charter it so that when it moves out, the city could still
use it for production, he said. A3 employes come from
the locality, Hess said, it is the managerial help that is
"imported.
"It is also a civic urgency to have the majority of food
consumed within a 50 mile radius of the town, he said.
'"V:: NotalZeis! ,
He said food that is shipped into a town is normally
lower in nutrition and unseeded energy is used in
shipping.
Hess, who formerly was chief architect of the Re
publican Party's 1960 platform, Barry Goldwater's major
speechwriter in his 1964 presidential campaign and an as
sociate editor at twsweek for five years, said his
ideological shift from right to left has been tctaL
He said he once approved cf the Cc!d Yar, the
Vietnam XIzx and corporate capitalism, but always has op
posed presidential power and what he called federal
government control cflccalities.
"I am cot a liberal,' Hess sdd 'emphatically, since
liberal is a wcrd tied with unices and rsrs,irhidi he siii
haeppeses.
