So far this year, the ASUN Senate met fix times. The
meetings, on the average, lave started 25 minutes lite,
when enough senators were present for a quorum. Three
resolutions have been introduced and adopted.
I don't have the answer," ASUN President tZl Muell
er said. "Maybe apathy is a sign of the times. It's frustrate
mg.
Mueller said maybe the senators feel apathetic because
the students they represent are apathetic.
For example, he said ASUN has had trouble filling
committee positions this semester. Ten openings remain
to be filled, he said.
"It's hard to represent someone when the person you
represent is apathetic, too," he said. Tut we (the execu
tives) can't write all the resolutions."

Actually four resolutions have been introduced and
adopted, but one, which granted student political groups
a license to use student facilities, was vetoed by liueHer
because he sail it was inadequate. A modified version of
the resolution was adopted one week later.
Another resolution provides for a four per cent sur
charge on books sold through the ASUN book exchange.
A third resolution calls for a parking lot south of the
Coliseum and for parking permits to be sold on a space
available basis. .
The senate also was criticized at its Oct. 6 meeting by
Karen Dress, who said no ASUN senators came to inter
views for prospective members of the Student Council on
Health even though they knew about the interview. The
Council's is constitution requires three ASUN senators
be present at interviews, Dress said.
She also sail a special open house and tour of the
University Health Center was arranged for ASUN mem
bers, but only one senator attended.
Seven resa '
Seven senators have resigned this semester, MueKer
said, most because of changing personal plans. Graduate
Sen. Hon Stephens also is resigning. Stephens' resignation
brings the number of senate vacancies to four, three
graduate positions and one business. Four senate vacan
cies already have been fiSed.
"Anything engineered for student participation on this
campus is a farce to give sanctbn to decisions which have
already been made," Stephens said. "As long as students
are content not to have a voice in decision-making, the
administrators won't give them one.
Stephens said ASUN is a "glorified high school student
council." ' .
AdrmnMrators don't want student participation or
input into dedsion-makfcg, and they give lip service to the
fact there is a student government, Stephens said.
?They have scmetling they caa point to and S3y, See,
it works' when all it is is window dressing," he said.
The ofHce has to mean something," he said. "Unless
ASUN becomes a decision-making body, you woat get
people to work on it."
Nancy FalJberg was an ASUN senator last year. She
was reelected in the spring elections, but resigned this year
after the first two weeks of school.
"I resigned because of time commitments," she saM. "I
had other things to do besides sitting in an ASUN meeting
for four hours every Wednesday. I got tired of hearing
people talking, using their fancy vocabrhrrt."
FsMberg said she didnt know how ASUN could
be made more worthwhile.
U U
1 havent really thought about it because I dont
care," she said.
. The current apathy started with the reception the new
senate got after last spring's elections, according to
Eusiness Sen. CHI Jackson.
"Net deserving
Te got a yu don't deserve to be there-you get
elected by the Greek slate' kind of reaction," Jackson
said.
"For a while there, we didnt know if we were the
governing body or not," he said, referring to an attempt
by members of the Coalition for University Reform
(CUR), to acquire the student governing body instead of
ASUN.
Although, he added, more could be accomplished if
"the executives would organize and run the meetings a
little better. .
Julie Erodbeck, home economics senator, said senators
from East Campus arent apathetic, attend most ASUN
meetings and are active on committees. -
"Our advisory boards and faculty are ahrays wiling
to work with us, and if we need students for committees
or to do other work we can usually find volunteers,"
she said. '. v;r,: :
"Maybe the others (senators) dont have this typejof
cooperation." .
ASUN has no real power, Erodbeck said, but is a lia
ison between students and administrators.
ASUN's job, she said, is to take student proposals,
present them to the regents, administrators and legislators,
gy-d push until these groups adept them.
"But the students have to back us," she said.

A sorority president said she also did

An Alpha Tau Omega spokesman
declined to comment for publication.
Kristi Schlegel, president of Alpha

half of the houses with displays stayed
within the limit. She said her house would
spend about $30 on its display.
" "I feel that for one weekend of the
year, it isn't necessary to spend a great
amount " Schlegel said.
Overspendiij common
A homecoming display chairman from
one fraternity said probably only 10 per
cent of the houses would stay within
the Emit. He also declined to be identified.
He said his house will be able to stay in

Schindler said donations are legal
It is a spending limit, not a limit on the
worth of the display ,he saM.
Enforcement wasted
Another fraternity officer, who also
declined to be identified, said, "I think if
they set a $50 Emit on displays they
should enforce and judge the displays
accordingly.
"Why should a group that stays within
the written rules and abides by the $50
limit be out of the consideration in the
display judging because groups that spend
more have better displays and win?" he
asked.
"If they want to make it fair for every
group entering the contest, I believe they
should either raise or strictly enforce the
limit.
"You cant tell me a judge cant tell if
a display is worth more than $50 " he
added.. ....... .
