The group calls itself FIRE-First in Responsible Ed u-cation-and
although it sounds like another new political
party involved in ASUN elections, it is not.
FIRE, a political action committee formed by seven
UNL students, has two basic purposes: to make the
members of the NU Board of Regents more responsive to
the student body and to bring about a coalition of student
power for elections.
Mark Hirschfeld, appointed chairman of FIRE, said
FIRE wants to campaign for candidates for the regents'
election on May 13th who would make a commitment to
work with and for students. ASUN Sen. Gail Casteel is the
treasurer of the group, which will solicit funds to support
its program.
The first steps in accomplishing FIRE's objectives are
to file with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure
Commission which is being done, and to form a core
group of committee members, Hirschfeld said .
Solicit money
'Then we can begin to solicit money for a contribution
fund to help finance the campaigns of selected candidates
and organize our members to campaign for candidates in ,
the respective districts," Ilirschfeld said.
Two positions on the NU Board of Regents currently
filled bv Robert Raun ofMindenand Robert Simmons of
Scottsbluff, will be contested this year. One candidate has
filed for Raun's position. The filing deadline is 30
days before the election, Hirschfeld said.
Hirschfeld said FLRE is looking for two candidates that
will be supportive of student wishes for strong academic
quality at UNL and who will be willing to devote large
amounts of time to being on the board.
North Platte attorney
runs for Raun 's seat
North Platte (AP)-Harold W. Kay. a North Platte
attorney, has announced he will challenge .Robert
Raun of Minden for the 7th District seat on the NU
Board of Regents.
Kay ran unsuccessfully against Raun in 1974, losing
by 404 votes out of 48,268 cast in the 21-county
district. Raun has not indicated whether he will seek
another term.
Kay is a trustee of the NU Foundation and is on
the NU President's Advisory Council. He is a past pre
sident of the North Platte Chamber of Commerce.
Kay said he mailed his filing form to the Secretary
of State's office Saturday.

munication with the regents and the student body and
would have to remain visible on issues concerning $tu.
dents, he said.
Hirschfeld said FIRE has contacted several possible
candidates, but no one has been chosen by the group 0r
has agreed to run.
Just as important as getting candidates to run, Hirscn
feld said, is to actively campaign for those candidates and
have sufficient funds to properly do so.
$1,000 goal
"We're looking at $1,000 as a goal to shoot for and the
students' power in terms of numbers in the key issue
here,' Hrischfeld said. "We're not counting on large
contributions, but one dollar contributions from a few
hundred people.
A fund raiser or making buttons or T-shirts for
donations have been discussed, he said.
With the funds received, FIRE would draw up fact
sheets on '.he strengths of its candidates to send to stu
dents in the respective districts. FIRE also would
campaign for the selected candidates.
"A lew effectively placed ads in newspapers and week
ends spent in the districts actively campaigning does not
cost that much money," Hirschfeld said. "We're going to
try and get a conscientious vote so people won't just vote
for a familiar name, but the person who is going to do the
best job." "
Ilirschfeld said even if FIRE does not succeed in
getting a candidate elected, it will consider it a victory if
students participate in the political process.
"The time is right and it's not out of the question to
get someone elected. In fact it's realistic," Hirschfeld said.
Any interested UNL students may join the group
Hirschfeld said.
