ASUN veteFaBG look h&di fomdlly
By Jon Deselms

Successes, frustrations and trips into
women's bathrooms in search of illegal
election posters are a few of the memo
ries ASUN leaders will take with them
as they leave office next week.
Among the highlights of the year for
Doug Weems, speaker of the senate,
were restructuring the Committee for
Fees Allocation to Include more off
campus students, creating undergrad
uate academic advising awards and
including gay students in ASUN's non
discrimination clause. Although the
clause is not binding on UNL organiza
tions, it sets an example for other
groups, Weems said.
Weems said one frustration he expe
rienced was the failure of every consti
tutional amendment on this year's bal
lot. He said that he wished more
emphasis had been put on them before
the election.
One of the strangest memories Weems
said he will take with him occurred
this year on election night, when Weems
and first vice-president Dan Hofmeis
ter spent the night looking for election
violations. The two accidently stumbled
into a women's bathroom in a resi
dence hall and found some illegally
placed posters, Weems said. They then
went back and searched the rest of the
women's bathrooms in the residence
hall.
Hofmeister said the search was neces
sary to keep the elections fair. He and
Weems found more than 30 violations.
Hofmeister, looking back on his year
as first vice-president, described the
job as intense.
Now that he's leaving office, Hof
meister said, "Rolaids is going to go out
out of business." Moments later he
popped a Turns into his mouth.
Despite the intensity, Hofmeister
said, he couldn't think of any major
frustrations. Every program that he
wanted considered like the rec center
and night bus service to East Campus,
ASUN took action on.
But Hofmeister said he wished the
senate could have been stronger on
some issues, like the controversial
videotaped classes in the College of
Business Administration.
While Weems and Hofmeister will
graduate in May and are on their way to
law school, former speaker of the senate
Senator Jerry Roemer will be staying
here. Roemer will be stepping off the
senate but not out of student issues. ,
plans to serve on the student court
next year and work on teacher-evaluat
booklets.
Roemer said he was pleased with
many of the things the senate accomp
lished this year, including the planned
expansion of the Government Liaison
Committee into UNL's only student
lobbying group. Roemer said the senate
planned at first to give the Nebraska
State Student Association, a statewide
lobbying group for students, one more
year to prove itself, but was disap
pointed in its performance.
For Tim Geisert, ASUN's second vice
president, the end of his term means an
advertising internship and, he hopes,
an end to the "Twister" jokes.
The "Twister" jokes started when
Chris Scudder, ASUN president, asked
Geisert and a committee to research a
fund-raising project. The plan was to
have a giant Twister game to raise
money for the rec center. Geisert said
the committee worked on getting infor
mation for the game for a few weeks
and found that it would be to expensive
and that the profit margin would be
small.
The high costs ended the project,
but Geisert said he still has had to put
up with a lot of twisted Twister com
ments. Geisert said he felt good about get
ting more people involved in student
issues this year. Geisert said the many
different groups at the rec center hear
ing shows that students are getting
involved.
He said there were frustrations when
things he wanted to see passed were
not, but called them minor disappoint
ments. Although Geisert will be at UNL next
year, he said he doesn't plan to remain
in student government. It's time to let
the younger people govern, he said.
