SUN party candidate rises for ASUN presidency
By Shelley Smith
For the first time since 1974, ASUN
elections will see three serious parties.
Bud Cuca, with the Students for Univer
sity Need (SUN) party, announced his pres
idential candidacy Thursday morning.
lie joins Scott Brittenham with the Stu
dents Advocating Innovative Leadership
(SAIL) party, and Joe Nigro with the Stu
dents for Active Representation (SOAR)
party in the presidential race.
Cuca, a junior business administration
major, said he believes ASUN has good
potential, but needs to be more willing to
reach out to the students and faculty.
"ASUN sometimes thinks that students
and administration will come to them," he
said.
His experience with people on campus is
his primary qualification for the presiden
cy, Cuca said.
He has served as a student representative
to the Board of Trustees of the Nebraska
Human Resources Research Foundation,
served as pledge class president for Alpha
Tau Omega social fraternity and lobbied
against Sen. Ralph Kelly's first drinking jige
bill last year.
Survey students
Cuca said he plans to survey possible
candidates for SUN party senators and the
student body to find out what students
want from ASUN.
"We (SUN) don't want to go out on a
limb on certain issues without knowing
what the students want," he said.
However, he did say that he believes the
major issues students are concerned with
include tuition, alcohol privileges in the
residence halls and residence hall visita
tion policies.
"We want to get things done for John
Jones the student," lie said.

ASUN needs to build more respect from
the administration, according to Cuca's
first vice president Lric Sandberg.
Sandberg, a junior university studies ma
jor, said he believes ASUN needs to "take a
more mature approach to student govern
ment." Sandberg said that when he was a fresh
man he was told that ASUN was a joke.
Focused his time
"So I focused my time not on ASUN,
but on the Arts and Sciences Advisory
Board," he said.
Sandberg believes there is a great lack
of respect for the student government by
the faculty and administration, and labeled
it "very unfortunate."
lie said that many times ASUN has
passed bill that were "ill-thought through,
poorly planned and irresponsible."
Hut instead of merely griping about the
problems, Sandberg said he decided to run
for first vice president so he "can do some
thing about it."
Cuca's second vice president is Susan
Wragc. a junior in the Teachers College and
a previous ASUN senator.
Wrage, a member of Kappa Alpha Theta
social sorority, said she believes ASUN
needs more input from people other than
senators.
"Outside input will help us see what
we're doing, where we stand and why," she
said.
Union Board story corrected
An error was made in Wednesday's
Union Board story entitled "Union Board
rejects food service company's proposal".
The third paragraph from the end
should have read: "Swanson said because
the union would be providing ARA with
so many services, the union would lose
about 550,000 above and beyond the
$94,000 to repairs and maintenance."
The Daily Nebraskan regrets the error.
