While many UNL students patiently stood in ASUN
election lines Wednesday, the majority of the UNL
student body steered clear of the polls.
Voter turnout dipped below last year's 13 per cent,
with only about 10 per cent voting this year.
ASUN ineffectiveness was the most frequent response
given by students questioned about their absence at the
polls.
Bob Reynoldson, 21, a senior finance major, said he
did not think there were any good candidates this year.
"I feel we had a lot of problems with ASUN and the
central administration this" year," Reynoldson said.
"There were people trying to undo some of the things
Ell Mueller was trying to do.
"But I also feel Bill Mueller crawled under a log after
awhile," he added. "He lost communication with the
students, and that probably is why they had the biggest
amount of problems."
Chuck Pool, a freshman journalism major, said he did
not think ASUN was "that big of a deal."
"All ASUN did this year was fight instead of doing
anything," Pool, 18, said. "I started getting interested
when they were taken to court, but I didn't really under
stand it. It all seems like a big mumbo-jumbo."
Jane Grieser, a 23-year-old junior, said she followed
ASUN issues and planned to vote in the first election.
"I was ready to vote," Grieser, a sociology major, said.
"But after they canceled out the first time around, I
just didn't. I guess apathy rose again."
One student, who did not want to give her name, said
she did not vote because she "did not see any purpose in
ASUN.
"I don't know of anything ASUN has done," she said.
"I have talked to people in ASUN, and they feel the same
way."
Nike Nevrivy, a business major, said he has never
voted in an ASUN election because he has no interest in
it.
"I have read about all the ASUN issues," Nevrivy, 21,
said, "but I dont see that they have made any substantial
changes in the past. And I don't see that they will do any
thing in the future."
Kim Pollard, 21, also said she thought ASUN was not
effective.
"I dont think there is a whole lot ASUN can do,"
Pollard, a junior business major, said. "They don't have
enough power." -
Pollard added that she did not know any of the
candidates and did not want to "vote for anybody."
John Roley, 22, a senior business major, said he did
not vote because he was a senior.
"Since I am a senior, the elections don't concern me
this year," Roley said. "I didn't pay any attention to the
issues or candidates, and I would have felt guilty voting
for anybody." .
Roley added he did not think this year's candidates
campaigned as extensively as in past years.

Interim NU President RwM Roskens.
Despite speculation that he will be named NU presi
dent by the NU Board of Regents Saturday, interim NU
president Ronald Roskens said he knows nothing about it.
Roskens said he has not yet been offered the job by
the regents and would have to consider carefully
before accepting the post if offered. , .
He said he would have to talk to the regents about the
job, "what the job would be, what would be involved,"
before accepting the post if offered. .
Roskens declined to speculate further about being
offered the job.
Roskens has been interim president since Jan. 1 when
president DJ3. Varner left to .become chairman of the
board of the NU Foundation.
The regents are expected to make an announcement
about the post at their meeting Saturday, although
regents contacted have declined to verify any action is
planned.
Lincoln Regent Ed Schwartzkopf declined to comment
about whether the regents had reached a decision on the
appointment and said only that the selection had been
narrowed to a small number of candidates.
Scottsbluff regent Robert Simmons has complained
publicly that the selection process has taken too long and
said that students are suffering while waiting for the posi
tion to be filled. Contacted this week, he would only say
that any selection would be announced by the regents.
Roskens is considered to be a prime candidate for the
position. Reports say that six of the eight regents un
officially support him for president
Some search committee members who were contacted
also declined to comment on whether a selection has been
made. The search committee was responsible for sorting
and checking applications and making recommendations
to the regents.
Bernice Slote, UNL English professor, declined to
comment on the possibility that the committee might
submit its report to the resists Saturday.
Vincent Berg, University of Nebraska at Omaha
student representative on the search committee, referred
all other questions to search committee chairman Paul
Schrrr. Schorr could not be reached for comment.
