ing us! ” ’ Hamilton said. ‘ ‘Buton the
other hand, this is not a popularity
contest, because in that case we will
lose.”
Despite the increase in support,
most students who voted did not
approve of student fees going to
COLAGE.
‘‘I voted against COLAGE fund
ing,” said Lynn Hansen, sophomore
in general studies, after leaving the
polls Wednesday.
‘‘Although the campus deserves
to be educated about homosexuals,
(COLAGE) doesn’t deserve to be
funded,” she said. ‘‘We don’t fund
left-handed people and we don’t
fund heterosexuals.”
Tim Thorson, Cathcr-Pound
president, said the number of people
expressing support for the installa
tion of condom machines was unex
pectedly low.
‘‘If the residence hall students
solely had been polled, the number
would have been higher,” he said,
‘‘due to the fact that there has been
an overwhelming supt>ort of condom
machines by hall residents.”
Nevertheless, RHA senator J.
Matt Wicklcss said the degree of
support given for condom machines
will help the campaign to install the
machines.
‘‘It obviously says something
about student concerns,” he said.
‘‘It’s going to have a positive effect
on the regents’ decision.”
Jay Proskovec, junior theater
major, said he voted to install con
dom machines because of the many
benefits they would provide.
‘‘It’s more private than walking
up in a store and buying one,” he
said. “It’s the ’80s. Birth control
should be purchased. I think the uni
versity should do all it can to support
that.”
ASUN Electoral Commission
Director Mark Fahlcson said stu
dents’ rejection of additional ASUN
polling sites next year is due largely
to the clause stating that they might
cause an increase in student fees.
‘‘I think we did the best job pos
sible in getting voter turnout on this
campus,” he said. ‘‘I think the (low)
voter turnout had to do with other

RHA election produces runoff
By Eric Planner
Staff Reporter
Even though twice as many voters
as last year turned out Wednesday for
RHA elections, the Residence Hall
Association will have to hold a run
off election for executive positions
since no executive candidate from
IMAGE, ADVANCE or TRUTH got
more than 50 percent of the vole.
J. Matt Wickless, IMAGE presi
dential candidate and Larry
Koubsky, ADVANCE presidential
candidate*will compete in the RHA
runoff. The runoff for vice president
will be between Eric Aspengren of
ADVANCE, and Tim Thorson of
IMAGE.
“I kind of figured it might happen
(the runoff), because there were three
parties,” Koubsky said.
The third party, TRUTH, pulled
votes away from IMAGE and AD
VANCE, Koubsky said, so that nei
ther received a majority.
Wickless said he was “very
happy” with the high voter turnout.
He also challenged Koubsky to a
debate before the runoff.
Koubsky said a debate with Wick
less “might happen.” #
Cindy Kirsune, RHA election
commissioner, said percentages of
the vote for executive candidates will
not be released since this could affect
the runoff results.
Kirstine said voter turnout was
approximately 20 percent Wednes
day, compared with 10 percent last
year.
The runoff will be held “exactly
as the regular election,” she said,
except that no write-in votes will be
allowed.
Bill Vobejda, RHA election com
missioner from Abel Hall, said RHA
Bylaw X requires run-off elections to
be held on the same day that a runoff
for the Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska election
would be held. This would require
RHA to hold the election next
Wednesday.
But Vobejda said the Electoral
Commission may challenge the by
law in order to allow the runoff to be
held Thursday, which would give the
commission and candidates more
time to prepare.
The Electoral Commission also
announced that there will be a run-off
election for RHA treasurer between
Karen Schimonitz of ADVANCE
and Paula Tank of IMAGE.
Commission: Campus action slow
VIOLATIONS From Page 3
down posters from polling places by
5 p.m. Tuesday.
The commission has no set policy
for fining parties for violations,
F&hleson said.
“We look at the severity of each
one,” he said.
When posters are hung in places
where they shouldn’t be, ne said, the
party is fined $5 per poster.
No policy exists for fining parties
for violations involving stickers.
Aside from BEER’s violations,
Fahlcson said, the number of viola
uons in this year s election was nol
out of the ordinary.”
“Action on campus has been
slow,” he said. ‘‘There aren’t the
usual amounts of campaigners.”
Fahleson said he was looking for
ward to the polls closing at 8 p.m.
After that, he said, it didn’t mattei
where the posters were.
Marlene Beyke, ASUN director of
development, said that last year,
ASUN voted to cancel the violation
fn.es because all parties had about the
same number of them.
There was no exact count of the
number of violations, she said.
things besides the number of polling
places.”
Leslie Ciani, senior home eco
nomics major, said she voted against
adding new polling sites because
there arc already enough on campus.
“If you can’t make it to one of the
polling sites, you must not have a
strong desire to vote,” she said.
Although 79.9 percent of students
approved of student fees going to the
Daily Nebraskan, some disagreed.
‘‘I don’t particularly enjoy the
paper that much,” said Craig Kncp
per, a senior civil engineering major.
“It’s the editorial altitude that kind
of expels me a little.”
Several students who voted
against the ASUN amendment to run
the second vice president on the
same slate as the ASUN president
said they did so because it would
restrict the voters’ choice.
“I think they should all be sepa
rate, because they could have one
good person and one dork,’ ’ said Tay
Fulcher, sophomore in chemical
engineering. ‘‘I wouldn’t want the
dork to get voted in.”
