ASUN's new top executives say
they are ready for some hard work as
they begin their year in office.
President Andy Pollock, a junior
news-editorial major, said he is glad
the campaign is over. He said he
doesn't have to worry about making
promises anymore and can work on
them instead.
"The role usually builds you to a
figurehead," Pollock said. "The per
son you are is different from the
rob."
Pollock said although people usu
ally will see the "mild-mannered"
politician, he likes to take the time
to go biking or sailing.
"Relaxing is something I've
learned to enjoy," he said.
Pollock has served on the execu
tive board and was the chairman of
the Government Liaison Committee
project.
First vice-president Shawn Boldt
said his main goal is to bring cam
pus organizations together.
"I want students to know they
can come to us first with their con
cerns," he said.
Boldt, a senior speech communi
cations major, attended Northeast
Community College in Norfolk for
two years. When he transferred to
UNL, Boldt was elected to the senate
as arts and sciences representative.
He was campus coordinator for Helen
Boosalis's campaign for governor
last year.
Second vice-president John Berg
meyer said he plans to develop stu
dent awareness of university issues
on campus and in the legislature.
He said he wants to "keep the
lines of communication open" so
student leaders are informed and
can have their voices heard.
"We have lots of challenges ahead
of us," he said. "But through hard
work and dedication, I think we're
gonna do a heck of a job."
Bergmeyer, a sophomore business
administration major, has been an
ASUN senator for two years, a mem
ber of the Committee for Fees Allo
cation, the Union Board, the Stu
dent Alumni Association, the Greek
yearbook staff and the Alpha Gamma
Sigma rush chairman.

Agronomy
synthesizes
two majors
A "new" major now being developed ,
in UNL's agronomy department will
combine and strengthen two existing
programs, said Lowell Moser, professor
of agronomy.
The range management major will
resturcture and combine two range
options now offered through the natu
ral resources department and through
the agronomy department, Moser said.
By combining the two programs under
the agronomy department, students
and teachers will be consolidated in
one area and all students will be able
to be certified as range conservation
ists for civil services.
Since many other major universities
in the West already have range depart
ments or programs, UNL's restructur
ing will help students to better com
pete in the job market and may help
UNL attract more students interested
in that field, Moser said. '
Range management generally in
cludes study of natural vegetation's
grazing capacity and the manipulation
of that range, both its economic return
and maintenance.
Fifty percent of Nebraska's range
land area is used for livestock, Moser
raid.

Students unaware of union services
By Amy Edwards
Staff Reporter
A survey of 350 UNL students was
conducted to receive feedback on what
services students need in the Nebraska
and East Unions.
Kimberly Nelson, project manager of
the survey, presented the results to
Union Board at the Union Board meet
ing Tuesday night. Nelson said that a
main concern from the survey showed a
lack of awareness among students on
what services the unions provide.
The survey will be used by Union
Board members to provide input on
decisions made on future renovations
in the unions.
Copies of the report are available at
union offices.
Space allocation proposals were also
presented at the meeting. The alloca
tions were tabled until the next meet
ing when student organizations with
contentions for the allocations will
have the opportunity to speak at the
meeting.
A statement of purpose for the Union
Board minutes and other information
concerning Union Board will be posted
early next week in the display board
along the north wall of the City Union
with a statement on the role of the
college unions.
Portfolio insurance plan devised
A UNL professor and a former faculty
member have developed a method to
advise invetors on how to adapt to eco
nomic changes.
Clay Singleton, associate dean and
associate professor of finance in UNL's
College of Business Administration,
and former faculty member Robin
Grieves have come up with a way to
precisely predict possible loss on invest
ments. "Before," Singleton said in a univer
sity press release, "risk of possible loss
couldn't be assessed precisely. Now
our portfolio insurance analysis can
show you how to accurately predict a
level of risk." Singleton refused to
elaborate to the Daily Nebraskan.
The idea began as an academic arti
cle for a professional journal three
years ago. It has become a huge eco
nomic enterprise that has brought jobs
and money to Nebraska, Singleton said
in the press release.
The Nebraska Investment Council,
the Omaha Public Power and the Ne
braska Public Power districts, and
numerous pension funds in the tates
have adopted this method of portfolio
insrance, which allows the investor to
assess risk.
Singleton is researching to develop
a version of the method for countries
that don't have futures markets.
Asian and Middle Eastern industry
research directors have visited Single
ton. One visitor to UNL, Nomura Securi
ties of Japan, is the world's largest
securities firm, more than 10 times the
size of Merrill-Lynch. Normura, which
holds one-third of all U.S. government
securities, is looking for a way to
implement the plan.
"This system is especialy important
for countries like Japan and Korea
where you cannot invest in a futures
market as a hedge against losses. When
the U.S. dollar dropped 30 percent in
Japan recently, it was the equivalent of
the 1929 stock-market crash in the
U.S.," Singleton said in the press release.
Singleton will present an updated
paper on his method at the Pan-Pacific
conference in Taipei, Taiwan, in May
and will visit Japan to present his plan
in Tokyo.
Reader attacks Reagan's logic
OPINION from Page 4
US's warm relationship with General
Doe of Liberia, with ex-President and
baby-killer Doc of Haiti. All of these
vampires have much in common
American support. Meanwhile the poor
blooded Americans back at home are
fighting the elements and foodless
kitchens.
Kirkpatrick had me laughing hysteri
cally and rolling on the floor when she
said, "Reagan's domestic accomplish
ments are recognized around the world."
I found myself thinking, which coun
tries would envy his record: South
Africa, Chile or other regimes with high
infant-mortality rates.
Kirkpatrick had the impudence to
say welfare reform would cost $6 million
to $8 million. That is throw away chip
change to the Contra lovers. Every
penny we give to terrorists ("freedom
fighters," based on Reagan's logic)
would help many poor and hungry
Americans who presently live below
the poverty line. It is unpatriotic and
stupid logic to think giving foreign
cutthroat mercenaries American tax
payers' funds over needy Americans in
rational.
As for Kirkpatrick's last statement,
"Thank God we have a president who
will look out for our heritage," I suspect
she was talking about the Heritage
Foundation, an ultra-right (white) wing
group.
In short, Kirkpatrick's stupidity is
only exceeded by those who sat and
listened to that trash. Any normal, red
blooded American would have gotten
up and walked out on that parrot

Are those long walks
to class wearing"
on your feet?
Dr. Paul Klawitter
Ambulatory
Foot-Ankle Clinic
Says:
THINK OF YOUR FOOT FUNCTIONING VERY
SIMILAR TO THE FRONT END OF YOUR CAR.
When your car's out of alignment
The tires wear out
Uneven stress is placed on the frame
The steering wheel begins to shake
Soon the car functions so badly, you can't drive it
THE MISALIGNED FOOT DOES THE SAME THING.
Pressures develop and trouble starts immediately
Bones move against bones
Ligaments become stretched
Soon the entire alignment of your entire body is faulty
SYMPTOMS OF FAULTY FOOT FUNCTION
localized foot pain
then bunions, corns, and calluses
before long, pain in the knees
hip pain, leg cramps
back pain
and even neck pain-headaches
fatigue
YOU JUST HURT ALL OVER1
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Call Dr. Paul Klawitter and Associates at Ambulatory
Foot and Ankle Clinic for free consultation or exam
through the months of April and May.
