Candidates approved
despite tlkeiir Ijothilof
By Merry Hayes
Staff Rsporter
The ASUN senate Wednesday ap
proved student election group HUGE
along with its "joke" platform because
rejecting it would be censorship.
In the HUGE platform, the group
proposes to level the College of Busi
ness Administration and replace it
with a drive-in movie theater, redshirt
the entire student body, phase out
ASUN and install a "more efficient"
form of government, and "make the
campus an all around more bitchin'
place."
Sen. Jon Stick said ASUN should
"draw the line somewhere" when
approving student election groups.
He said the HUGE group is a joke
group that is "not going to do anything."
Sen. Jerry Roemer said the party is
"somewhat half-serious" because it
has senate candidates and not just
executive candidates as has been the
case with past "joke" parties.
Roemer said the HUGE party's goals
are just as realistic as other parties'
goals of abolishing the current alcohol
policy on campus.
Sen. Patty Sokolik said to reject the
group would be censorship.

She said that the senate cannot
reject the group just because it doesn't
like the platform.
Sokolik said, "We haven't disapproved
anybody yet, and I don't think this is
the time to start."
In other legislation, the senate passed
two constitutional amendments that
will appear on the next ASUN election
ballot and rejected a motion to repeal
Senate Bill 82, which would place a
gaylesbian survey on the next ASUN
election ballot.
The amendments would allow the
speaker to set the senate agenda and
would change the percentage of voters
needed to enact the powers of initia
tive, referendum and recall from 33
percent of the regularly enrolled full
time students at UNL to 25 percent of
those voting in the last ASUN election.
Sen. Roemer called for a repeal of
Senate Bill 82 because the gaylesbian
survey no longer needs to be on the
ASUN ballot because CFA has already
denied the GayLesbian Programming
Committee funds.
The senate rejected the repeal
because the survey would provide
information about student support for
the committee's funding.

things from an "English" point of
view is to commit cultural suicide,
Jackson said.
"How can you care about people
and turn your backs on the farmers
who feed America and the world?"
Jackson asked.
Jackson said so many farmers are
in trouble because the basic system

cratic than commercial farms.
Jackson said some solutions to
the farm crisis are changes in man
agement and supply systems, the
Save the Family Farm Act, emer
gency assistance and restructuring
of the farm debt.
In closing Jackson said, "Every
honest person can make a differ
ence. People must have a sense of
personal character with fundamen
tal and sound moral values. We
must treat all people right."

Name calling,
debt, disease
fuel debates
NMUN from Page 1
These are just a few examples of
delegates getting too caught up in
their roles. But role-playing is a major
part of NMUN. Delegat ions are expected
to vote and act as their country would
Delegates often call the United States
"imperialists, capitalist swine." Some
times apologies are demanded and
received. '
This year, delegates will debate such
. controversial topics as the debt crisis
South Africa, international rights of
the press and communicable diseases.
Caucusing and organizing votes
between political blocs are also a big
part of the game. Some blocs want to
see specific resolutions passed and
others want to kill them immediately.
"I enjoy the debate," Bates said.
"I'm interested in political science and
(NMUN) is an excellent forum on
international politics."
Conflict cuts
visit short
for Jackson
Conflicts in scheduling led to altera
tions in the Rev. Jesse Jackson's visit to
UNL on Wednesday and a $2,500 reduc
tion in fees for the visit.
Two of the events planned for the
day were combined into a pre-speech
reception. Jackson was to have met
with minority students and held a
faculty seminar before his evening
speech.
Jackson flew from Lincoln for Atlanta,
Ga., earlier than scheduled, cutting
short the time spent at the reception
for him after his speech.
Sponsors Nebraska Model United
Nations, American Minorities Council
and UPC Talks and Topics were able to
negotiate an honorarium of $10,000
instead of the original $12,500 for Jack
son's appearances.
Tim Moore, program director for
Campus Activities and Programs at
UNL said that the scheduling problems
arose because of poor communication
between Jackson's campus coordinator
and his Washington office.
"Obviously a person of Rev. Jack
son's caliber is in high demand," Moore
said. "It's unfortunate because we
would have liked to have had him meet
with more students. But Rev. Jackson
has a political interest in mind as
well."
