Although he worked 60 houri a week; was often frit
trated during those working houn, and' a couple of tlmei
considered leaving It ill, ASUN President Ken Mtrlenau
laid if he had the chance to be president all over again, he
would,
After Wednesday'i meeting, Marienau, a 22-year-old
business major, will have two more senate meetings to
call his own. With senate election drawing near, he reflec
ted back on his 11 months as ASUN president, and said
what he learned during that time is immeasureable.
Tve learned more in this office during the course of
the last 1 1 months than I did In all my other activities in
college, and possibly even back into high school," he said.
He said he learned that people are motivated simply by
the way something is worded, and make decisions because
of the way aomething is presented .
Selling technique
"Decisions in government, in the university and even in
student politics are not made necessarily, and unfortu
nately, upon the basis of the qualities of the proposal.
They're made based upon what is going to sell,'1 he said.
He said the NU Board of Regents, this year, failed to
act representatively of NU students. Marienau added that
this was one of his major disappointments as president.
"Student Impact in the board is minimal," he said.
"The decisions are made upon the regents own opinions
and mind sets. Arid if they happen to correspond with the
students, they may get lip service," he said.
He said he felt the regents view the students and
faculty as special interest groups, rather than the purpose
for the existence of the university.
"They don't recognize students and they don't recog
nize faculty as being important in the decision-making
process," he said.
Senate accomplishments
"They sort of view them as gears. When the switch is
turned-the gears are supposed to run. They don't see
them as part of the ignition system," he added.
Marienau said he has mixed emotions about his role as
president during the year, but said he felt the senate ac
complished a great deal. ; i
"The major asset the senate had this year was
courage," he said. .
"At no time did the senate ever back off of an issue
because ,of fear of controversy or fear of reproach," he
said.
He defended the senate for taking an initial neutral
stand on Parents Day , scheduled April 27. The senate
took the stand because it was upset with the planning pro
cedure, he said. .
"They had initial disagreements, but knew the concept
was good. So without condemning the concept, they
made their disagreements heard " he said.
Eluejock
Students Day, field during the Nebraska-Missouri foot
ball game last fall, was also a great accomplishment for the
senate, Marienau said.
Senate members passed out 10,000 fliers to people
attending the game to voice students' concern that
UNL is not just a "football school." And as a way of gain
ing recognition for their causes, they encouraged students
to wear blue rather than traditional red.
Marienau said people were impressed by the support
given to Students Day, and said even members of the Ne
braska football team supported the concept.

'Marienau iaid he felt this year's senate and executives in
creased their respect from the regents.
He said the regents began to listen to him not just as a
' student regent, but because of the proposals and opinions
he presented. . ' '
Election interest
"This came from being well prepared on the issues we
were presenting. We knew what we were talking about,"
he said. '
And he said that the best way to judge the success of
organization Is by viewing the interest .that is shown in
the organization, and the number of people running for
office.
For the first time in ASUN history, five candidates
are running for ASUN . president this year. Marienau
said he was proud of the record,
"Student government is past the crossroads of making
it or breaking it," he said.
"We've passed the point that we were an organization
that was to be watched. Now I think we're taken as an in
tegral part, and a serious part of the university," he said.

Harvard offers course on football
Cambridge, Mass. (CH)-The Harvard football quarter
back has turned professor, for the spring term, presiding
over a new class called "Fundamentals of the Multiflex."
Senior quarterback Lawrence L. Brown says in study
ing the Multiflex, Harvard's unusual offense, students will
better appreciate all of football.
In getting approval to offer the half-credit, pass-fail
course, Brown expressed a preference for nonvarsity ath
letes as students. Of the 20 signed up for the course, six
are women.
Harvard Head Football Coach Joe Restic, who has been
credited with creating the complex offense, says studying
the Multiflex will be valuable because, "It's like taking a
course in logic. You may study it for three months and
not understand it, and then one day it will fit together."
In addition to writing a paper at the end of the term,
students are reauired to read newspaper sports pages every
day, "to establish an atmosphere for the course " says
Brown. . . -
