Three members of the FROG party
said after Wednesday's UNL Student
Government meeting that a pre-election
rule they violated shows the problem
other UNL students have in dealing
with the UNLSG senate.
The FROG party, which stands for
Friendly Reliable Organized Govern
ment, consists of candidates Doug
Jensen, president; Jeff Hubka, first viqe
president; and Sue Smith, second vice
president.
Hubka and Jensen said they were
unaware of the student election rules
that state that no campaign posters
can be displayed on campus without
first applying for official party status.
Jensen, ajunior chemical engineering
major from Lincoln, said he put up 10
posters about two weeks ago without
first becoming an official party can
didate. UNLSG senators then tabled
the FROG candidates' application at a
Jan. 21 senate meeting.
However, at Wednesday's meeting,
senators voted to allow the FROG party

Director lobbies for air conditioning

Armed with an abundance of evi
dence and a loyal group of supporters,
Morrill Hall director Hugh Genoways
will soon plead for more funds from the
Nebraska Legislature,
Genoways said it is critical that the
unicameral pass LB2 18 because Morrill
Hall "deperately" needs an air-conditioning
system and a revitalilzation of
its permanent displays.
The bill, a version of which was
rejected during the last regular legisla

"Gays are not one;dimensional,"
Swantek said. "They have talents and
need a way to express them."
The committee also could raise aware
ness of homosexual culture among
students in general, she said.
The proposed subsidy would provide
for a slide presentation, a lesbian
cabaret comedy performer, a movie,
safe-sex seminars, and a two-hour pre
sentation called "Sexuality and Homo
phobia." UPC committee members said the
programs will cost $2,502. Ticket sales
to these events will generate $1,620 of
this expense.

If your 26th birthday is approaching

This year, the first of the crop of

the Military Selective Service Act will
reach their 26th birthdays. Anyone fail

imposed deadline can never receive

Don Wesely and is being supported by
Sen. Jim McFarland, Sen. Shirley Marsh,
Sen. Bill Harris and Sen. Wiley Remmers.
"I'm ready for a big battle," Geno

from the building funds, so we have lots
of support because it wouldn't be com

Barbara J. Hopkins, an English and

School in Lincoln, was awarded the
first Christa McAuliffe Prize Wednes
day, the first anniversary of the space
shuttle Challenger disaster.
Hopkins received a plaque with
McAuliffe's picture and an engraved
scene of a teacher, Minnie Freeman,
leading her students to safety from the
blizzard of 1888. The award included
$1,000 from the NU Foundation pre

"We kind of question how the rules

federal officials encourate speedy co
operation. The Selective Service only accepts
registration from 18- to 25-year-olds.
Failure to register is a felony punisha
ble by a fine of up to $250,000 or five
years in jail or both.
The Selective Service checks high
school enrollment lists and motor veh
icle departments' records to seek out
those who haven't registered, said Linda
Stalvy, public affairs specialist for the
Selective Service System.
The Military Selective Service Sys
tem Act, which went into effect in 1981,
requires men born after Jan. 1, I960, to
register at a post office within 30 days
of their 18th birthdays.
This eventually will prohibit display

Genoways said the heat also prohib

"The anthropology collection would
be destroyed if we displayed it here,"

Dairy Store on City Campus.
Union dairy store spans gap
between City, East campuses
By Andy Jacobitz
Staff Reporter
Eastern influence has hit City
Campus East Campus influence,
that is. A branch of the UNL Dairy
Store recently opened in the Ne
braska Union next to the Harvest
Room and business is going well,
said Merlyn Znamenacek, food plant'
supervisor.
Znamenacek said that the new
store "is doing great" and is expec
ted to do even better in the summer.
The original UNL Dairy Store, in
Filley Hall, will move to the East
Union this fall when Filley Hall ren
ovation begins, said Daryl Swanson,
Nebraska Union director.
Swanson said the new store in
the Nebraska Union will be per
manent, but the East Union store
only will be temporary while the
Food Industry Complex is completed
at Filley Hall.
The Food Industry Complex will
house the UNL Food Processing
Center and will unite several scat
tered units, said Dr. Roy Arnold,
vice chancellor for the Institute of
dent of Hopkins'.
Hopkins has been involved with
local and distinct programs, including
drugsex-awareness classes, school
newspapers, walkathons, Red Cross
activities and parent-education groups,
as well as reading-comprehension
programs.
Robert Knaub, Pound Junior High
principal, praised Hopkins.
"She has the courage to do whatever
is necessary to help her students,"
Knaub said. "She has dealt with the
court system, child-protective agencies
and parents in extreme efforts to pro

Consolidation will help UNL develop
and distribute new agricultural pro
ducts to assist Nebraska's economic
growth, Arnold said at a recent
meeting of the NU Board of Regents.
Arnold said the Food Processing
Center, established more than three
years ago, receives more than 300
inquiries a year.
The new $10.5 million complex
will be financed by federal funds,
state appropriations and the NU
Foundation. Construction is expected
to be completed late in 1989.
Exactly when the dairy store will
move to the East Union depends on
the construction agenda, said Zna
menacek. The dairy plant will remain
where it is, but will be completely
remodeled. The store will be just
inside the north entrance of the
East Union. The location will be
modified, and an exterior entry will
be added to make the store accessi
ble to patrons when the union is
closed.
The dairy store, which employs
numerous UNL students, is self
supporting, Znamenacek said.
