The new ASUN Senate will decide who it wants as its
presiding officer when it takes office tonight.
Paula Haeder, elected first vice-president in the March
17 ASUN elections, has announced that she has resigned
the position and will not take office tonight,
Haeder, a junior pre-iaw major from Omaha, said she
has been accepted to the NU College of Law as an under
graduate and will not have time for first vice-presidential
duties.
She said she had been accepted into a Law College
combined studies course in which first-year law students
take classes that are credited toward their undergraduate
degrees. Only about two per cent of the incoming law
class are accepted into this program, she said.
Haeder said she did not think she would be accepted
into this program when she filed to run for first vice
president. She had planned to be a part-time student next
year, which she said would allow enough time to be first
vice-president.
However, she now will have to take 18 hours of classes
at the Law College and will not be able to "devote the
necessary time and interest that is expected of the execu
tives " she wrote in a letter to ASUN President Jim Say.
"I sincerely apologize for any and all inconvenience
caused by my action," Haeder wrote. "My advisor gave
me all reason to believe I would not be accepted this year,
since I am a junior and had not completed my Bachelor's
degree."

The question of who w21 succeed Haeder was decided
by the ASUN Student Court Tuesday evening when it
ruled that the Senate's speaker pro-tempore, who will be
chosen tonight when the new Senate is installed, would
automatically become first vice-president. The Senate
then will appoint another new senator to be permanent
speaker pro-tempore.
The speaker pro-tempore replaced the first
vice-president if he leaves office during his term.
Other alternatives considered by the Court were to call
a new election for first vice-present or to have the can
didate who came in second in the March 17 election take
office.
University Student Awareness Party candidate Susie
Reitz finished second in the balloting.
However, the Court ruled that when a candidate is
certified as elected by the ASUN Election Commission,
the office "instantaneously devolves on him." When the
person is sworn in, he takes his office in "the full sense "
the Court ruled.'

Seven UNL seniors, who earned all A's" on their gra
ded collegiate work, were honored Thursday at the 48th

mathematics major from Heartwell; Charles Simmons Jr.,

Kray's

However, Porr said the committee "checked the ASUN
Constitution" and decided to challenge the manner in
which the Electoral Commission handled the case and its
power to take action in removing Kray.
"We thought this just wasn't right (annuling Kray's
election)," Porr said. "They (the commissioners) gave him
no notice that his seat was in jeopardy, no hearing and no
reasons for their decision " he said.
The "legal backing of just about everyone in the law
school" will take the case all the way to the federal courts
if necessary, Porr said. "We'll exhaust all the remedies the
ASUN Constitution provides," he added.
"People who voted for Kray are considering filing a
petition (in ASUN Student Court) saying they have been
disenfranchised as voters," Porr said.
"We hope this was simply a mistake on the Electoral
Commission's part," Porr said. "But if it wasn't, we want
to show that you just don't mess with the law students."

Exon expected
to call session
Gov. J. James Exon is expected to decide today
on whether to call a special session of the Nebraska
Legislature to review the 55 mJi. speed limit on
Nebraska's highways.
At a press conference Thursday morning, Exon
mentioned calling a special session, but Bill Hoppner,
the governor's administrative assistant, later said the
governor will not make a decision on the matter un
til Friday.
The 55 m.pJi. speed limit was set by the 1975
Legislature. The bill stated that the limit would be
reviewed three months after this legislative session
adjourned.
