A fresh fruit juice stand called Fruity-Rudy may be in
the Nebraska Union next year, , according to Union
Advisory Board Chdrman Dave Roehr.
Rochr said Fruity-Rudy is a concept originated h San
Dle-o, Cdlf., by Collegiate Products (CPI) Inc. which is
the largest refrigerator leasing company in the United
States. .
The Fruity-Rudy idea was introduced by Nebraska
Union Director Al Dennett .after returning from a conven
tion of Union directors in San Diego, Roehr said.
"I simply brought back the information to let the
euvisory ooara consider it, Bennett said.
Ik said there is a possibility of competition between
the Fruity-Rudy Stand and other Union drinks.
However, "the primary concern was whether or not the
stand would be of Interest to the students," Dennett said.
'If there is not a real income potentid we probably
wouldnt proceed."
Fresh fruits used to make the drinks are oranges,
bananas, grapefruits and pineapples. Additionally, bottled
Guava, Mango, Papaya, Passion Fruit, Apple, Doyscr.berry
and Coconut drinks are offered, Thompson said.
' Roehr said CPI is totally responsible for the operation
of the stand, including investment md emninwot i !.

above $75 a day, he said.
Thompson said, based on a 6,000 to 7,000 per day
pedestrian traffic area, the minimum gross receipts should
be $350, which would mean $27.50 per day for the
Union, or $8,525 annual commission.
Roehr said a decision on the Fruity-Rudy stand will
not be made until Thompson explains details of the stand
to the board at their April meeting.
He said although the Union cannot lose anything from
the stand end may bring in additional revenue, the board
will "negotiate for more money."
"I've heard the product is excellent," Roehr said, "but
the prices are way too high. No one would buy a 12- to
1 4-oz. drink for 80 cents."
Fruity-Rudy prices range from the eight-oz. drink for
40 cents to the Dslly Buster (one quart) for $ 1 .75.
"It might be a big seller during the real hot months"
Roehr said, ' but it would fall flat on its face during the
winter. I don't even think Fruity-Rudy could compete
with soft drinks during the winter."
Bennett said if he and the advisory board decided to
proceed with Fruity-Rudy, implementation would depend
on how soon the Union could get a service lease
agreement between CPI and the NU Board of Regents.

BSI Mueller, who spent his final days as
ASUN president battling with the UNL
Student Court, said Tuesday he questions
the effectiveness of ASUN.
Mueller, whose term officially ends
tonight, said he thinks 1he whole set-up
of student government is wrong."
"If ASUN is" going to be effective, it has
to be given something to do," he said.
"Right now, ASUN is without some
thirj to do." :
ASUN is almost powerless and has be
come little more than a "programming
Institution" he said. Fees Allocation Board
(FAD) and the Council on Student Life
(CSL) hold the power reins, he said, fcav-
ing little responsibility to ASUN.
ASUN needs to be restructured, he said,
so that it can become a vutle student .

V "Until we change ; swtliins to gr?-

ple won't vote because they won't see the
need to," he said.

"The non-voters probably are smarter
than the voters," he said. "Ninety per cent
of the students on this campus know
ASUN is a farce."
Those who did not vote probably rea
lize that "if they want action .they should
, go to FAB or CSL. not ASUN," Mueller
said. 1
At a conference of Nebraska student
governments, Mueller said, other schools
laughed at how little power ASUN had.
"I personally could affect more change
as student body president at Ogallala High
School than I can right now," he said.
Mueller recently spoke at an NU Board
of Regents meeting about ASUN reorgani
zation and said he hopes his successors also
will try to make regents and administra
tors look at the problem.
Subversives
Mueller said although there have been
rumors of subversive groups acting against
ASUN, he said he questions whether they
are subversive.
., ...... j Iqiow there sre saSvrslva individuals"
,, who . decided the .day . I got -: elected . they
would mike it as tough a year on me as I
have ever had," he said.
"But it depends on how one defines a
subversive group," he said. They do exist
and manipulate a lot. The work they do is
not positive toward student government."
Some . groups have a "despicable
stranglehold on certain honoraries," and
selecting only their " members, he said.
Mueller said that his administration was
"plagued' from the beginning. '
"There were a lot of people who wanted
to get me out of office," he said. "I guess
it is a victory to be here one year later."
Mueller sard he had hoped to initiate a '
policy during his term that would affect
every UNL student. Removal of parking
meters and elimination of parking permit
increases are two problems he said he had
wanted to tackle. .,
"My goal was to do one thing so stu-
dents could identify something their stu
dent government did for them," he said.
Mueller added he thinks this year's
ASUN partially accomplished this goal by
eliminating the Nebraska Union sign adver
tising campaign and the Union room set- '.
up charge. -
Mueller will graduate in May and-plans
to attend the NU Law School next fall.

The newly-elected ASUN Senate wi3
appoint members of a task force to study a
package of questions raised about student
government and the ASUN constitution
according to ASUN president-elect Greg
Jchnsoa.
Johnson said he would discuss the
requirements cf prospective task force
members during: his acceptance speech at
Wednesday evenings ASUN meetiM.
DcclLni:. to e:vs further details ui
the speech, Johnson said the Senate will
appoint task force members from cp;'J-
car.ts. -
The decision to crests a task force was
made after Richard- Armstrong, - vice
chnci"2i for student affairs, spoke with'
Johnson, student Court Chief Justice Fritz
SicJJJc and Associate Justice Don Wescly.
Armstrcrg was consulted after the Stu
dent Court referred a d;c::icn about the
validity cf the ASUX censtitutica to him.
A discrepancy exists between the constitu
tion and the NU Board of Regents bylaws
about the percentage of students needed to
vote before proposed amendments are
approved.
Armstrong said this question will be"
"put aside with other questions raised"
about student government. ' ,
Johnson tiii he would like to see the
task force get started as "soon as possible,
but noted conization will have to be
pretty cikk to beat the- end of the
He ssid he would lie to sse the task
force organized this summer if not by the
semester's end.
Attributing past ASUN problems to

solve all our problems.
Any effect the ta.sk force tr.zy have will
depend upon the cred.llllty it establishes
by its quality of work, John sea sail.
Vcscry admitted that the bylaws di
crepmcy is "not as prd-g an i:je as it
was first thought to be. He said he is
satisfied that action will be taken oa the
issue.
Describing himself as discouraged by the
number of petitions filed in Student Court,
WescJy said he is now very encouraged that
the task force will resolve many of the
questions raised.

He said he thought at least the obsolete
parts cf the constitution need to be re-
wiuisa, u tne entire constitution is not re
written.
sly ssid a broader issue the
force will face is the consclidatica cf itii
dent government. The question cf power
