Wickless elected to RHA president
By Eric Pfanner
Staff Reporter
The IMAGE executive ticket
of J. Matt Wickless and Tim
Thorson defeated AD
VANCE candidates Larry Koubsky
and Eric Aspengren Wednesday in
Residence Hall Association run-off
elections by a margin of 10 votes.
Wickless and Thorson received
303 votes for president and vice
Sresident, while incumbent president
.oubsky and running mate Aspen
gren received 293 votes.
In the initial election last Wednes
day neither party’s executive slate
had received a majority of the vote,
which necessitated a runoff.
Paula Tank, IMAGE’S candidate
for RHA treasurer, defeated Karen
Schimonitz of ADVANCE 295 to
283.
“I’m very happy,” Wickless said,
“It’s been a very long race.”
Wickless said his party ‘‘over
came a lot of barriers” to win.
Koubsky, when contacted with the
results, said, “It’s a sad thing for
RHA.”
“They (IMAGE) spent a lot of
money on advertising,” he said,
“We didn’t have time or money to do
ads.” \
Wickless said he will “concen
trate on what to do with RHA,” now
that the elections are over.
Wickless said he will work to
implement the IMAGE platform by
allocating money to local residence
hall governments and by setting up a
committee to write RHA bylaws.
Thorson said he will “take a per
sonal hand” in writing the byiaws.
Wickless said “all parties are get
ting along despite some of the nega
tive campaigning.”
' ‘I am glad the election ended with
good feelings on both sides, no matter
who won,” Thorson said.
Koubsky said he is not sure the
elections ended with good feelings.
“Last Thursday I thought they
would end on a positive note,” he
said. Personal attacks on him in the
IMAGE platform last week may
change that, though, Koubsky said.
Candidates of both parlies said
they were surprised by the close
margin of votes.
In the runoff for executive posi
tions, 51 percent of the vote would
have been 299 votes, said Cindy
Kirstine, RHA election commis
sioner, so the Wicklcss and Thorson
ticket received just 4 votes more than
was necessary to win.
Kirstine said the votes were
counted four times, by different
groups of people. Each time, she said,
the groups came up with the same
total.
In the runoff for Abel Hall presi
dent, ADVANCE’S Kelly Wade de
feated IMAGE’S Keith Malo 35 to 32.
Dan Koehler defeated Garrett Klein
for Abel Hall treasurer, 50 votes to
41.
Symposium will feature exiled writers
From Staff Reports
A symposium featuring the liter
ary works of exiled writers from Nazi
Germany will be held April 6 through
9 and will host exiled author Frederic
Morton as keynote speaker.
Morton, who fled Germany in his
teens, will read from his recent book,
‘‘A Cross Town Sabbath,” April 7
from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The book takes place in New York
with flashbacks to Vienna and Aus
tria during the Nazi period. After the
reading, Morton will be available to
answer questions from the audience.
According to Helmut Pfanner,
program director and chairman of the
UNL Department of Modem Lan
guages, “about 2,000” writers who
had a “backwards ideology towards
the arts” fled from the Nazis.
“They were discriminated against
and not allowed to publish their
works,” he said.
About 80 scholars will discuss
how the exiles reacted to World War
II and influenced their “house”
countries by warning people about
Hitler and the Nazi aggression, Pfan
ner said.
The conference, sponsored by the
Nebraska Committee for the Hu
manities and the Goethe Institute of
Chicago, will be held in the Nebraska
Union in rooms A and B of the Re
gency Suite.

1WU UINL student directory
will be produced more quickly
From Staff Reports
The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln student directory (buzz book) is
going to be “more timely and effi
cient” in the fall of 1990 because of a
laser printer, said the editor of UNL
Publication Services and Control.
Kathryn Martin said that by using
a laser printer, two steps in process
ing the book could be eliminated.
She said that by eliminating the
computer tape and proofing steps, it
will take less time to print the directo
ries.
The laser printer will allow stu
dent information to be printed and
taken directly to the publisher.
Currently, student information is
put onto a computer tape and sent to
University Directories in North Caro
lina to make it camera ready, she said.
The camera-ready proofs are then
sent back to the university to be ap
proved, she said.
Martin said that currently, too
much lime is spent in the proofing
steps.
The change would save money by
eliminating the need for typesetting
and paste-up personnel. She said her
staff would have more control over
the book.
“We could sit down at the com
puter and immediately make any
changes,” she said.
The change was made because of
the lateness of the 1988-89 student
directory, Martin said. It came out
Nov. 1. The directory usually is out
by Oct. 15, she said.

the final recommendation.”
CFA member Keith Malo said stu
dents do riot have adequate under
standing of funding problems to make
the final decision.
“Students will always be resentful
about student fees, just like people
will always be resentful about taxes,’ ’
he said. “This is a really liberal bill;
it’s incredibly left-wing. I don’t think
students fully understand these sort of
problems.”
Malo said CFA decisions have
been respected by the UNL admini
stration to a degree that makes total
student control unnecessary.
‘‘For the past three years, I would
say that about 95 percent of the deci
sions have been unchanged from the
CFA level up,” he said.
Conference spurs discussion
on better college preparation

concerns of the private colleges is

Skrupa said regents from state
universities, who have fewer prob
lems with fund raising, were con
cerned instead with the quality of
education students receive for their
money.
“The purpose of education is:
‘Have we put the dollar on the line to
satisfy students?'” she said.
Skrupa said speakers at a session
Monday proposed several plans for
colleges to work more closely with
high schools in order to improve
these students' preparation for higher
education.
One proposal was for elementary
schools and universities to exchange
teachers one day a week, since some
educators think preparation for col
lege should begin i>. the third grade,
she said.
Hansen said Peter McGraw, chan
cellor of the University of Missouri

College of Arts & Sciences, gave a
speech on university curriculums.
Hansen said McGraw said univer
sities *4 need to review the core educa
tion approach,” even though indus
tries need highly technical people.
