Post ASUN presidents recount
compu
s issues
from
By Kent Warneke
Six former ASUN presidents who served a term be
tween 1965 and 1977 have gone on to various careers
since leaving the presidency, but they ail remember well
their year as leader of the UNL student body.
Kent Neumeister, president during the 1965-1966
term, remembers the beginning of ASUN and the prob
lems it encountered.
"In years past ASUN had been in the form of a student
council with representatives from all colleges," Neumeis
ter said. "We saw the formation of ASUN as a much more
representative studenf government."
Neunreister said that, before 1965, student government
had been dominated by fraternity and sorority members,
but a more open policy started with the re-organization.
Women's hours, Vietnam issues and student participa
tion in course evaluations were some of the issues that the
1965 ASUN dealt with, Neumeister said, but the major
issue was the "SDS."
The Tom Hayden-led Student Democratic Society had
UNL targeted for a revolt. That caused quite a stir, said
Neumeister, a professor of law at Creighton University in
Omaha.
ASUN like parents
Richard Schulze, 1967-1968 president, said that SDS
also had its effect on the UNL campus while he was in
office.
Summer sign-up
set for Saturday
A special Saturday early registration for summer school
is planned for March 29 from 8-1 1 :30 a.m. at the Admin
istration Building.
Alan T. Seagren, director of Summer Sessions, said the
registration is intended primarily for graduate students
who are employed during the regular work week or who
work outside Lincoln.
Otherwise, he said, these students would have to
mail their registration in or take time from work to
register.
The early registration process, which was organized
nine years ago, has been found to help departments
establish demand for summer classes and in accommodat
ing students. A class can be canceled if early registration
is too low at demand analysis time.
Advisers from each department will be available on
March 29.
Class priority students are encouraged to register early,
between March 17 and 28.
Students without priority can register early until
April 18 on a walk -in basis, Monday through Friday, for
the first session and until June 6 for the second session.
UNL offices will be closed on May 26.

early days
Schulze said SDS attempted to restructure ASUN,
which resulted in a proposal for a Student Bill of Rights.
"It existed in law at that time that UNL stood in the
position of parents to all of the students," Schulze said.
"ASUN worked with the Department of Student Affairs
and established a new position on how UNL and students
see their respective roles of each other."
Schulze is now assistant general counsel of the national
hotel corporation Hyatt Corporation in Park Ridge, 111.
1971-1972 was the year Steve Fowler, now a state sen
ator from Lincoln, was the ASUN president and students
rights surfaced as a major concern.
"With the Vietnam war adding to the matter, concern
was high on visitation rights and other student concerns,"
Fowler said.
The new ASUN president, Renee Wessels, probably en
ters the position more ' familiar with the workings of
ASUN than when he entered office, Fowler said. Wessels
is a legal aide for Fowler.
Used pressure
Jim Say, ASUN president in 1975-1976, said 1976 was
the beginning of the dispute over the parity of funds be
tween'the UNO and UNL campuses.
"All we could really do on issues concerning students
was to put moral and persistent pressure on the NU Board
of Regents," Say said. He is now an attorney with a local
law finn.
Student court cases were prevalent during the 1976
1977 presidency term of Bill Mueller.
Mueller, a senior law student at UNL, said a group of
students who lost in that year's elections tried to totally
reorganize ASUN after their unsuccessful efforts.
The issue had to be taken to Student Court to be re
solved and Mueller said he can see things haven't changed
a lot since then.
"I'm struck with the number of court suits this year
and somewhat sad," Mueller said. "It's usually cases where
the losing parties are just sour about the election results."
Mueller also said that his term was the first time the
College of Business Administration sent out signs to stu
dents about the limiting of enrollment for the future.
Funding failure
Greg Johnson, 1977-78 ASUN president, said his term
saw the beginning of a current organization and also an
unsuccessful conflict with the regents.
"We talked of setting up a political action committee
similar to the FIRE group this year," Johnson said. "It's
an excellent idea and I'm glad to see it actually come
about?
Th funding of speakers on campus was the issue that
ended in failure, Johnson, press secretary for Congressman
Tom Daschle in Washington, said.
Johnson said Young Americans for Freedom started
their letter writing campaign and eventually the regents
suspended student fees for speakers with political or ideo
logical topics.
Having worked with both Renee Wessels and Mark
Hirschfeld, ASUN's newly-elected top two executives,
Johnson said he believes they will be totally dedicated to
student government.
"Renee has good ties in the Legislature and she's a
hard-nosed political operator," Johnson said. "Mark and I
worked together on the Government Liaison Committee
and he's a very astute politician."
Johnson attributed the high voter turnout in this year's
election to a greater awareness on campus of the issues
and credited ASUN for developing that awareness.
