New party beams into race on mixed platform
By Jen Deselms
Senior Reporter
Members of the TREK Party an
nounced their mission to boldly go
where no student government has gone
before to a small group of students
near Morrill Hall Wednesday.
Anthony "Kirk" Meyers, ASUN pres
idential candidate, Jeff "Spock" Por
ter, first vice-presidential candidate;
and David "McCoy" Jaeckei, second
vice-presidential candidate said their
platform mixes both serious goals and
attention getters.
Included in the TREK platform to
get voters' attention are:
O Installing transporters in the
Nebraska unions.
O Constructing a dome over the
proposed recreation center so that it
resembles the Starfleet Command Base.
O Issuing Type II phasers with
stun and destroy capabilities to Stu
dent Security and UNL police officers.
O Renaming the NU Board of
Regents as "Starfleet Command,"
changing the Nebraska Legislature to
"Federation Council" and calling Gov.
Kay Orr "Great Bird of the Galaxy."
O Bringing a Star Trek convention
to Lincoln.
Although the "Star Trek" conven
tion is designed to attract voters'
attention, it is a serious goal of the
party, candidates said. Conventions
bring in money that could be used to
finance some of the party's more serious
goals, such as installing air condition
ing in Morrill Hall, preserving campus
artifacts and buying library books. The
party also will work for night bus ser
vice to East Campus and distribute
pamphlets on how to get involved in
student issues and government.
Fair representation of students is
another TREK goal. Many students,
including commuter students, interna
tional students and East Campus resi
dents have not been well represented
in the past, Porter said.
"In general, everyone who's not
white, Anglo-Saxon and Greek," Porter
said.
The candidates who do not support a
student regent vote because it would
decrease the student regent's influ
ence, they said. Student regents would

not have time to do all the research
necessary, Porter said. A student-regent
vote would violate the one-man, one
vote policy included in the U.S. consti
tution, he said.
The candidates chose the name TREK
because of "Star Trek's" long-lived
popularity which Jaeckei said will be
recognized by voters.
"Quite frankly, when the idea first
came up, it kind of came up as a joke,"
Porter said. "But as we looked at it we
realized it could be a little more
serious that we had originally intended.
Whites need
more education
of black culture
WORKSHOP from Page 1
Wilson said the month's events were
well-attend c' All of the events except
the Margaret Sloan-Hunter address were
sponsored by UPC Black Special Events
Committee.
Wilson said he felt that the month
affected black students more than
whites. It showed that the majority of
black students do more on campus
than just athletics and the programs
were just as enriching to them as
blacks in education and culture.
"(The whites) need more cultural
and educational exposure to Afro
Americans than just the Cosby Show
and Nebraska football," Wilson said.
