At least two UNL students fdt "relieved and happy1
about tlie results of Wednesday's Residence Hall Associa
tion (RHA) elections.
Residence hall voters elected Omaha sophomore Mike
Gibson RHA president. Karen Meisel, also a sophomore
from Omaha, was elected vice president
Gibson, a journalise mi political science major, said it
was "a relief to be done witii campaigning." He has repre
sented Harper Residence Hull in RHA since January.
Gibson said he would like to ir.cress student aware
ness of RHA actions. The current RHA administration has
effectively used posters, petitions terl question he
said.

Increased student involvement and communication be
tween the residence halls is another of Gibson's proprities,
he said. He said he hopes to aid communication with
regular newsletters and meetings with residence hall presi
dents. N
"The (residence) hills have many problems and
solutions in comment that they don't know about," he
said.
Meisel, a math major who was vice president of Julius
(Cather-Pound residence hall complex government),
stressed cooperation of the residence halls in solving
common problems.
"RHA should get involved in campus issues that affect
everyone," she said. "It is improtant to take a stand on
? ...
things oilier than residence hall issues. We are a bsa
majority on campus."

Meisel said she especially would like residence halls to
see themselves as a unit, not as separate complexes. Hall
governments should get to kr.c,v each olher, she said.
A constitutional amendment also on the election ballot
failed to pass, according to election commission Psul
Ifcrano. The amendment simplified tppcintinj tr.d
election procedures, he said.
Voter turnout was down sightly from 1976, Ihrar.o
said. About 16 per cent of the residence hall students
voted, he said, adding that voter participation was down
63 per cent from last year in the Abcl-Sandcz complex.
Other candidates for RHA president were Dottis
Farris, Pound Hall, and write-in candidate George Woolsey
of Burr Hall. Wendy Buettow of Pound Hill was a candi
date for vice president.
