Bulldozing the College of Business
Administration may not sound like a
reasonable political goal, but HUGE
Party candidates said they take the
ASUN election seriouly during their
party announcement Friday afternoon
in Morrill Hall.
Presidential candidate Steven Sho
walter, first vice-presidential candidate
Andrew Wupper and second vice-presidential
candidate Christopher Stream
told about 15 students and several
huge dinosaurs that while their methods
may be unorthodox, they are just trying
to get voters' attention. -
"Hopefully, after we achieve a com
plete and total victory a more reasona
ble policy will be implemented," the
candidates said.
The HUGE Party platform contains a
proposal to turn CBA into a parking lot

licenses to health clubs and his laun
dromat should get one too.

gets the license or not, Dillow said. The

Luedtke announces

Mayor Roland Luedtke announced
his candidacy for re-election Monday
afternoon in the Nebraska Union.
Luedtke said he has three main
goals for his new term. He said he
wants Lincoln to be a "star city in the
world market." He wants to form part
nerships with cities in Germany, Japan,
England and other trade centers. Since
Lincoln is ideally located for shipping

the parking and videotaped-class prob
lems at the same time, candidates said.
"Now, (with the proposal) business
students can drive on campus, park
their car and watch their class,"
Wupper said.
HUGE also supports the restoration
of Morrill Hall because it is "the home
of the hugest things that ever walked
the face of the earth," Wupper said.
The HUGE Party also wants to red
shirt the entire student body since the
football players receive so many bene
fits. The candidates said that instead
of taking away benefits from the foot
ball team, benefits such as the training
table should be given to all students.
"Tom Osborne will be able to draw
on talent that's been wasted on phys
ics, chemistry and social sciences all
these years, and he hasn't been able to
touch just because it wasn't on the
team," Wupper said.

"We will continue to apply for a

The HUGE platform also includes
plans to improve the campus. The
HUGE Party plans to pipe surfing
music on campus, arrange for indoor
surfing in Mabel Lee Hall or the new
recreation center, and build a frisbee
golf course better than the one at
Nebraska Wesleyan University.
"We're the huge campus in Lincoln,"
Showalter said. "We can't let Wesleyan
have a better Frisbee-golf course tfian
us."
While their ideas sound as if they
came from the west coast, the HUGE
Party executives call themselves
"homespun Cornhuskers" who want to
make their state and UNL "a more bit
chin" place."
Candidates said they are trying to
raise the huge untapped vote at UNL
with flair and charisma.
"If they're huge too, they'll vote for
us," Showalter said.

Dillow has a five-year contract with
Duds and Suds to build as many as five
laundromats. The buildings have a
lounge, bar, big-screen television, pool
tables, snack bar and, of course,
washers and dryers.
"It's not going to be like a bar," he
said, "but it's also not going to be just a
laundromat."
Corporate Video Brochures
Before interviewing with an or
ganization on campus, students
should check the Video Library and
the Video viewing schedule. CPPC
has videotapes on several recruiting
organizations that enable students
to further study a company before
an interview. Research is one of the
keys to successful interviewing,
CPPC officials say. The library is in

Orientation to include
more parental input
By Amy Edwards
Staff Reporter
Results from changing New Student
Orientation to New Student Enrollment
last year have been positive, and this
year's program will be similar, said Gail
Cox coordinator of the program.
The enrollment part of the program
lets students talk with an adviser in
their college and register while they
are at UNL, instead of through the mail.
The program now focuses on more
parent involvement, Cox said. It gives
parents more opportunity to interact
with the university staff and faculty
administrators, she said.
"Seeing that students would get
their academic advising and enrollment
done while they were there was a com
, fort to the parents," said Cox. "We got a
i lot of enthusiasm from students; they
felt well involved, and the registration
gave them something to see at the end
of the day."
Cox said no major changes are
planned for the 1987 NSE, but the pro
grams will be slightly shorter to avoid
repetition, and six more hosts will be
added.
Because the program is larger, (more
than 2,900 students attended last
summer), Cox said, the hosts are ex
posed to more diverse types of students
and parents.
"The hosts learn how to deal with
people. It's a great experience," Cox
said.
Jeff Dillow, a junior who was an NSE
host last summer, found differences
between questions asked by students
and by parents.
"Parents seemed to be apprehensive
about the night life at UNL," Dillow
said. "The students wanted to know
where the best place to party was."
Dillow sees NSE as a big help to
students. He said after going through
NSE students seem more confident.
"The students pictured the univer
sity as a huge place where you couldn't
find anything," Dillow said. "After going
through NSE, they were a lot more posi
tive and realized that the faculty still
cared; coming to college didn't seem
such a big shock."
Karen Sandahl, a senior in consumer
science, also an NSE host last summer,
said students from small schools had
different questions than those from
larger schools or out of state.
"Students from smaller schools were

very concerned about the size of the
classes and what the teachers were
like," Sandahl said. "Students from out
of state were not afraid to ask any ques
tions and were much more outgoing."
NSE hosts spend much time prepar
ing for the orientation. Sandahl said
they met for 3 12 hours each week
during the spring semester last year to
learn how to answer the questions stu
dents would be most likely to ask.
"Each host spent time in different
research areas and reported their find
ings to all the other trainees," Sandahl
said. "We learned how to tactfully
answer questions without scaring the
students. We tried to show them the
more positive aspects of campus life."
Michele Bobak, a freshman in Teac
hers College, will be one of 28 hosts
this summer.
"Since I'm from out of state, I feel I
can really identify with the incoming
students because I not only had to get
used to the university, but the state of
Nebraska as well," Bobak said. "I want
to be able to ease the transition to
college for the students and learn
about all the things going on on cam
pus myself."
