Tlie SUN also Rises.
Author Ernest Hemingway might have been proud last
Friday when the title of his novel became a reality in the
UNL student government race.
Last Friday, the ASUN filing deadline, there was
a race for party name SUN (Students for University
Need). And, the group of students who filed for that
name first were pressured by the second group into
withdrawing,
Dan Evans, a sophomore from Omaha, said he filed
for president of the SUN party in the ASUN office at
10:04 ajn. Friday. After five phone calls from mem
bers of the other SUN party asking him to quit, Evans
said he withdrew his statement of intent about 3:30

When he was filing his intent under the SUN party
at the ASUN office, Evans said the ASUN secretary,
Annette Khan, said, "but you're not Greg Johnson."
Greg Johnson was the second person to file as SUN
presidential candidate.
Evans said the ASUN secretary "is supposed to be neu
tral, but she knows everyone in Johnson's SUN party on
a first-name basis."
Evans said Khan was not going to let him file because
she knew Johnson was going to file. Another person
came into the office and told Khan he could file, Evans
said, but he could not recall the name of the other per
son. Johnson, a sophomore from Baltic, SJD., said "the
person who withdrew the party statement of intent wasn't
serious" about running, and said the use of the same name
-SUN-wasn't a coincidence.
Johnson said he didnt know who the other filer for
SUN was.
However, Evans said he was serious about running
when he filed and he didn't know another group was
filing witji ae same name.
Evans who has never run for UNL student govern
ment said he withdrew after he learned there was another
party using the same name, and "they have a better
chance of winning than anyone does,
I wanted to run because of the Greek slate last year,"
he said.
"Independents dont have a chance (of getting elected)
without a party," Evans said.
"I can see a similarity between last year's political
railroad (by the Greek slate) and this year SUN party,"
he said.
Evans said the people in his party originally were run
ning as independents, but thought they would have more
power in a party.
After they withdrew, most students in Evans party
went independent, he said. Evans said he did not file
again because he did not have enough time to devote to
the campaign or to being president if he was elected.

but room 101 6 was "too far gone" to draw any definite
conclusions about the blaze1! cause.
Stumer said he and Deputy Fire Marshal Dennis
