to reality, the Commonplace ministry will be projecting
further actions, alone or In concert with other ministries
and Interested groups, in the direction of workshops,
public discussion, counseling services, alternative
programs, etc. In the meantime, we encourage all persons
to discuss the ethical and public policy Implications of
proposed draft renewal, including the potentially difll
cult issue of sexual equality and the draft, and social
justice as related to any kinds of possible class defer
ments (such as for students).

Read the letter
Mr. Schneider letter denouncing me for what he
thought t said about the Law College is a perfect example
of why many educators are concerned with the quality of
education today. I suggest Schneider find someone to read
to him and to explain to him What I wrote in my opinion.
I'm tired of being called i cheap shot for going public
with examples of misconduct-at the Law College. No
one has refuted my charges. .
I stand behind my charges, not because I desire to do
so, but because they are true. Schneider, why don't you
ask the SBA why they found most of what I said valid?
Why don't you ask my old classmates why, in private,
many not only agree with me, but have told me of even
more serious problems? Why dont you read my letter,
Schneider?
But, then t suppose there will always be the Schneiders
of the world to whom truth takes second place to the
need for chapstick.

Work with students
With Bud Cuca's election to the ASUN presidency,
there has been much discussion as to the problems he will
face in office.
Admittedly he has less experience in student govern
ment than Joe Nigro, but I have talked to numerous
individuals who believe he can. overcome this handicap,
adapt quickly, and serve as an effective president. I trust
that he will prove these people correct.
Much has been said about the fact that here is a
two-thirds SOAR majority hi the Aew senate. People have
spoken of the "SOAR philosophy" and expressed doubts
as to whether Cuca carl work, with the senate. The last
senate leaves behind a somewhat tarnished image marked
with petty arguments, disorganization, and a further loss
of credibility with students that student government
doesn't need (and it was an even greater SOAR majority).
Perhaps it's time for someone outside of the system who
. can think for himself to step in and lead ASUN toward be
coming a more viable organization.
But for Cuca to accomplish this, he will need a unified
body to work with. I have heard people state that it's "his
problem' that he was elected. It shouldn't be a problem
and I hope that certain people don't go out of their way
Committee
looks into
complaints
Student complaints
about tefching assistants
have led tfe Commission on
Educational Equality, a
presidential committee of
ASUN, to conduct a study
of the teaching assistant
program. t
The result of the study
will be compiled this sum
mer and will examine the
method of selecting T.A.s,
according to , Allison
Tcrapra member of the
stecring-comrnittee of the
Commission.
The study will point out
areas of the program need
tag change. The resulting
goals of the Commission
will be to revamp the pro
gram to include certain
criterion for selection and
standards for performance.
These goals were formul
ated fn part from a 24 point
guideline let for selecting
and training TXH at
U.C.LA-, , -Tempt sail.
Upon completion, the re
port and proposed gosls and ,
guidelines wI be brought
before the faculty senate for
approval next fall.
to make it become one. Just because one party holds a
majority doesn't mean that the only viable choice for
president is a member of their own party. I don't feel that
there is such a marked difference in the parties' philoso
phies that their various members cannot work together.
Their main concern should be to work for and with
the students and not to perpetuate their real or
imagined differences. .
In my own campaign 1 stressed the need for greater
credibility and student involvement. The students have
responded by exhibiting a strong interest in both the
general election and the runoff. It's now up to ASUN to
keen this Interest alive and work to become a more or
ganized and effective body. I wish all of them luck during
the year ahead.

ASUN clowns
It seems many of our Intrepid reactionaries in ASUN
put their cards on the table again during and after the "de
bate" of whether or not to boycott Nestle products.
"There ate some Issues that don't have two sides," said
Sen. Woitasek. Amen to that, especially after watching
the workings of the senate during the past three years.
Sen. Sue Ellis felt that the research had been done, and the
legislators didn't need to hear from a company repre
sentative. Even Sen. Yapp's statement implied that since
a decision had already been reached before all informa
tion on the subject has been presented It would be to
ASUN's advantage to bring a Nestle spokesman in to make
the decision look nice and Unbiased.
Whether Nestle is "guilty" or not 1 or ASUN cannot
ascertain right at this moment, but what is obvious is that
open debate and fairness of presentation of points
of view have no place in UNL student "government."
Don't students ever get tired of these clowns in ASUN?
Let's stop funding these social bigots.
