SLUMBR decides to change to serious
platform, support minority groups
By hve Nations
Staff Reporter
The presidential candidate for the
SLUMBR party announced Thurs
day that he is changing the ASUN
party’s platform from a joke party to
a more serious one.
Presidential candidate for
SLUMBR, Trevor McArthur, said he
decided to run a serious campaign
because he realized his playful scorn
for issues had turned into real scorn.
‘ ‘When I asked people for things I
could make fun of, I realized that a lot
of things that were funny also were
real problems,” he said.
Also contributing to his decision,
McArthur said, was the fact that his
party is the only one with “leftist”
views.
One change in the new platform,
he said, is support for minority groups
such as the Committee Offering Les
bian and Gay Events.
“We support things that other
parties wouldn’t, like COL AGE,’ ’ he
said ‘ ‘We are jumping in to fill a void
in ASUN by supporting the minority
groups on campus.
“I’m calling to the left to organ
ize, calling to minorities to support
each other.
“If we get elected, we’ll help
work with minorities and help them
fight for the issues,’’ he said. “We
need minority groups to be able to
look beyond themselves and help
each other.’’
The SLUMBR party has dropped
some issues in its platform, like nap
times for students and 3-D glasses for
people eating at Burger King. How
ever, candidates have voiced con
cerns about other campus problems,
such as services that write term pa
pers for students, McArthur said.
“There must be something ASUN
can do about this issue," McArthur
said. “People arc just buying A’s."
Other issues included in the
SLUMBR party’s new platform are:
• support for incorporating Kear
ney State College into the University
of Nebraska system.
• striving to improve the distribu
tion and amount of financial aid
available for students, especially
minority students.
•placing another ASUN office on
East Campus.
While SLUMBR’s platform has
taken on a serious tone, it still intends
on keeping some joke issues, such as
building a monorail between the two
campuses and the parking areas.

RHA neets for
year’s last time,
reverses vote
By Jeff Beals
Staff Reporter
The Residence Hall Association
voted Thursday to reverse last week’s
decision to allow International
House, part of the Neihardt residence
complex, to be represented in the
- RHA Senate.
RHA adviser Shari Klippenstein
said last week’s decision was against
RH A’s constitution. According to the
constitution, all members of RHA
must represent a residence hall.
Klippenstein said the division of
university housing does not consider
International House, a living unit
designed for international students,
to be a separate residence hall.
“(International) House is actually
two floors within a hall,’’ she said.
“Just because it’s called ‘house’
doesn’t mean it’s one.”
Since International House is con
sidered part of the Neihardt Hall
government, it is a special interest
floor. Giving it RHA representation
would set a bad precedent, she said.
“If RHA allows a special interest
floor to be represented, then there
will be no way to stop any floor that
wants to from becoming independ
ent,” she said. “You could have
every individual floor sitting (on
RHA).”
Mippenstein said me bill could
eventually destroy RHA’s system of
local complex governments. There
would be no purpose for them, she
said.
After Klippenstein spoke, the
senators voted to suspend the rules
and reverse last week’s decision. No
one voiced opposition to the reversal.
Thursday was the final meeting
for RHA this year.
RHA members encouraged all
residence hall students to vote in -
RHA's upcoming election, to be held
Wednesday.

involving operational and repetitive
tasks and fanning.
According to a different survey
compiled by the U.S. Department of
Labor, none of the fastest declining
careers requires a college degree,
Kouth said. These include railroad
conductors, stenographers, directory
assistance operators and industrial
truck and tractor workers.
Routh said that despite a drop in
the number of farmers and farm
workers, the demand for people, in the
agricultural science field will in
crease in the future.
Technology is replacing many
low-skilled workers, he said. Roulh
said he thinks his office will receive
more contact from people who have
been out of school for 20 to 30 years
and are looking for skilled training.
These people must be helped,
Routh said.
“We must provide more resources
to people in this changing world.”
