ASUN bock exchange;
Students set the prices
Students can set their own price for used books they
want to sell at the ASUN Book Exchange today through
Friday. -
Students should put the price on their books and leave
them at the book exchange, in the Nebraska Union base
ment conference rooms.
It is not necessary to have books to sell in order to
buy books from the book exchange, said Ron Erlewine,
chairman of ASUNs Student Services Committee.
Students whose books are sold will receive a check
from ASUN about two weeks after the exchange closes,
Erlewine said.
This semester ASUN will deduct four per cent from the
price of books sold to cover expenses, he added. Students
should pick up unsold books Friday.
The book exchange needs 'student volunteers. Those
interested in helping should call the ASUN secretary,
472-2581, Erlewine said.

Ronald Roskens, who has been Interim NU president
for about two weeks, said he is not the president ofa
second-rate university. Too often, he said, the quality at
NU is overlooked, while problems are exaggerated.
Roskens, chancellor of the University pf Nebraska at
Omaha (UNO) since 1972, said he wants to reduce the
time spent on differences and build on what is already
"a great school?'
Good faculty members are the reason behind a quality
university, Roskens said. In turn, they attract good
students.
Students at NU today are discriminating consumers of
their educations, he said. They want a part in the decision
making that affects academic quality.
Improving Communications
Roskens said. he is taking steps to improve both
internal and. external communications at the university.
He said he has talked to top administrators at UNL,
UNO and the Medical Center. They favor a careful
examination of the central administration's role in
relation to the individual campuses, he said.
He said the main responsibilities of the Systems office
include implementing the policies decided on by the NU
Board of Regents, avoiding program duplication among
the campuses and representing the university to the state.
Communication between the university and the state
cannot be accomplished by the president alone, Roskens
said. He said he will encourage more deans and executive
officers of individual campuses to talk to Nebraskans
about their university.
Although Roskens' appointment as interim president
at the December regents meeting has been questioned by
some because he is from the Omaha campus, Roskens said
he wCl have no difficulty being fair when considering
individual campus needs.
As interim president he can no longer think in terms of
a single campus, he said.
The regents decided in September that UNO needs
slightly more than $1 million in order to bff financed at a
level comparable with UNL. The board asked for
$500,000 of this money in the 1977-78 budget request,
"It's up to the legislature now," Roskens said.
Although it is early for him to name specific problems and
projects he will focus on as president, Roskens said, next
year's $108 million state budget request will take much of
his time. .
He said he hopes he can pass on a united university to
whomever is named permanent president.
Cooperation overwhelming
There's a -tremendous regard for the university in this
state," he said. Roskens said the spirit of cooperation he
has encountered during his short tenure has been "nothing
short of overwhelming."
Roskens said because he still is becoming acquainted
with a job he neither sought nor aspired to, he cannot be
sure whether he would take the job permanently if it were
offered to him. But he said he feels comfortable in his
new job because he "has the opportunity to test the
university and to be tested by it."
Roskens travels from Omaha each workday to fill the
chair left by DJ. Varner, who resigned in June and
moved across the hall to become chief executive officer
of the NU Foundation.
