Reach increased a four-vote margin in
the general electiorl to 276 votes in
Wednesday's run-off election with the
Action Party. Matt Wallace, Reach
presidental candidate, and his vice
presidential candidate Regina Rogers,
received ! ,338 votes, while Laura Meyer
and Greg Kriser, president and vice
presidential candidates for Action, got
1.062 votes.
In the vice presidential race, Bill
Buntain received 1 ,234 votes, and Kay
I linn of Action, 1,134.
Wallace, speaking at a victory party at
Buntain's home said he felt a sense of
relief in winning the election, but said he
was ready for a productive year ahead.
It has been a rather long, drawn-out
process, he said.
"It's very satisfying when you know
you've really worked hard," Rogers said.
When asked about the win, Buntain
said, "Rhonda Greederand I just feel
like we deserved it. I've been involved in
this for what seems like forever, and it
just couldn't have gone any other way."
Reach party members were not sure
exactly how they increased their four-vote
margin to 276.
"We had more people out from the
residence halls," Rogers said. "We all
talked personally to a lot more people.
We tried to make people aware of what
ASUN is doing, why we are running, and
what ASUN could be doing."
Buntain said the increase in votes came
from a lot of people who voted for Anarky
and SPARE in the last election.
Wallace said his party was close knit
from the beginning, and they worked
together, rather than individually, for the
election.
"We were better organized this time
because we had been through the process
the week before," Wallace said. "We
corrected mistakes we made last week."
Wallace said he would look at the
presidency as a non-paying, part-time
job, since the ASUN president does not
receive any money for his services at this
time. However, Wallace said there is the
potential for a student scholarship for
the position.
Wallace said his first official act would
be to meet with the people who currently
run ASUN and familiarize himself with
any aspects he needs to be aware of.
Rogers and Buntain said their first
actions in office would be to begin
working on the Reach Party platform
issues, like the presidential liaison, a
proposal to appoint someone to act as a
communication link between organizations
on campus, explaining ASUN and its
goals and activities.
Laura Meyer said she felt the Action
Party could be proud of its campaign.
"I'm proud of the Action Party," she
said. "Especially the fact that about 70
percent of Action's candidates were
elected."
Meyer said she did everything she could
do for the election and that she wouldn't
do anything differently if she had to do
it over again.
"I learned more from this election than
I have in four years of college," she said.
"But as long as I did my best that's all
that matters."
Meyer said she felt Daily Nebraskan
coverage was a little biased against the

Saunders transformed logs into brave

in the main lounge of the Nebraska Union
Wednesday.
Saunders demonstrated his art in
conjunction with the Young Feathers
as a preview of the Native American
program Reaching for Horizons.
Young Feathers is a traditional
American Indian dance group of junior
high and elementary school Indian
students.
Roger Welsch, UNL associate professor
of English and anthropology and a plains
J!.,

folklore expert, said students should get
involved in the week-long conference.
"The problem isn't that the white man
has stolen too much from the Indians;
we haven't stolen enough," he said. "Their
culture has an incredible inventory of
songs, stories, traditional philosophy and
arts through which we could enrich our
own lives."
Reaching for Horizons will be March
30 through April 1 . It is sponsored by
the UNL chapter of the Nebraska Native
American Student Congress and the

late Wednesday evening. Wallace defeated Action presidential candidate Laura Meyer in
the ASUN run-off election.
to say anything about the coverage at the
present time because she wants to write
a guest opinion describing her thoughts
about Daily Nebraskan coverage.
Greg Krieser said he would not be
involved in campus politics in the future.
He said he never thought of ASUN as
political.
"During the election, it's political,
but during the year it's not," he said.
Krieser said he was sold on the Action
Party.
"We had good, qualified people with
experience," he said. "We did the best job
possible."
Krieser said it was unfortunate that tKe
campaign was so complex and messy. He
said the Action Party leaders did what they
thought was right in every situation.
Kay Hinn was unavailable for comment.

Sen. Karen Kilgarin of Omaha filed a
motion Tuesday to bring LR5 to general
file, despite its defeat in committee
Monday. The Constitutional Revision and
Recreation Committee voted 4-3 to kill
the reolustion that would have increased
"legislative control of the university budget.
"It takes 30 votes to pull it out of
committee," Kilgarin said. '"We'll deal
with it Tuesday morning."
Kilgarin said chances were "very good"
that LR5 would make it to the floor of
the Legislature.
She said committee members were
pressured by members of the NU Board of
Regents and university officials into killing
the resolution.
"It's politics," Kilgarin said. "It's a
political football. A lot of pressure is being
applied, a lot of lobbying by the university.
It's just one of those things you'll see a lot
of politics in."
Sen. Lee Rupp of Monroe voted in
favor of LR5 . Rupp said it was "apparent
in committee that the regents in parti
cular were very concerned" about LR5.
"There were some valid concerns
brought out in committee that should have
been addressed to the floor," he said.
Although he voted for LR5 in
committee, he may have voted against it
if it had reached the floor, Rupp said.
Rupp said he feld "three-pronged
pressure from university regents, university
faculty and university graduates."
"All of them made it quite clear that
they didn't want LR5 brought out on the
floor," Rupp said. He said regent Margaret
Robinson of Norfolk called him on several
occasions, as did UNL Chancellor Martin
Massengale.
"There was apparently more pressure
put on some people because there was a
vote switch between the executive session
and Monday's vote," Rupp said. Rupp and
Sen. Steve Fowler of Lincoln were both
absent from the executive session vote.
"Had we both been there the first time,
it would have come out of committee,"
Rupp said. "We were both there the second
round, but by then there was some erosion
of support that was there in the first
round."
Sen. Chris Abboud of Ralston was one
senator who switched sides to vote against
LR5 the second time around.
"The reason I was in favor of it was that
I thought there was a problem with the
regents as far as students were concerned,"
Abboud said.
Abboud said he was interested in the
issue of paying student regents.
"On Thursday we heard the ASUN
survey results as to whether to pay the
student regents," he said. "The student
body voted against paying them."
"If the students aren't in favor of having
a student regent that's paid, then I really
didn't see much of a need for the
amendment (LR5)," Abboud said.
"The Legislature is so busy as it is. . .1
didn't see the need for delegating authority
that just wouldn't be that big of a deal,"
he said.
"I was going to go for it (put an
amendment on it) to allow for student
regents. . .to be paid as student body
president," Abboud said. "But the students
obviously don't want them paid at all. I
was really shocked that they voted that
way. That's why I didn't vote for LR5."
Abboud said he did receive phone calls
from regents and faculty, but said "it
didn't do much either way" in making
his decision.
"I didn't feel that much pressure,"
Abboud said. "Maybe they were hitting on
Lee (Rupp), I don't know. I pretty
much had my mind made up."
