in Wednesday’s runoff election.

eminent Liaison Committee, as were
several past ASUN presidents.
Gosch said, ‘‘I consider this a
victory when you consider the ele
ments of opposition that we face.”
That opposition has included the
incumbent ASUN executives, the
Executive Council and the Electoral
Commission, Gosch said.
‘‘Those are the traditional players
of the game . . . and we’re not the
chosen,” he said. ‘‘But the students
of UNL have shown that we should
be.”
Fiddelke said party supporters will
have to work to bring in students who
were not involved in the election before
and to target voting areas that were
weak in Wednesday’s election re
sults.
‘‘People in this party are so com
mitted,” she said. ‘‘I’m confident we
can pull it off next week.”
Gosch said he was excited about
the election results, but several
TODAY candidates were not as happy.
*4A tie is like kissing your sister,”
said Doug Oxley, TODAY candidate
for ASUN arts & sciences senator.
All candidates agreed on one thing
— they were pleased with the voter
turnout of 16.3 percent.
Gosch said the turnout ‘‘says a
lot” about students’ ability to make a
difference and should show senators
in the Nebraska Legislature that stu
dents do care.
The Legislature currently is de
baling a resolution that would re
structure governance of higher edu
cation and give, students an official
vote on the boards of trustees it pro
poses.
But Fiddelke said she expects voter
turnout to “go way down” for the
runoff because students may be tired
of the campaign.
The second vice presidential race
also resulted in a runoff, as VISION’s
Shawn Burnham received 44.31 per
cent of the vote, compared to 38.44
percent for Scott.
Scott said she was happy that so
many minority and international stu
dents became involved in the TO
DAY party and voted.
Scott said she was suiprised at the
number of votes she received because
she didn’t expect to do well.
“I’m glad that there are students
out there who felt I was the better
candidate,” she said.
Scott said she thinks TODAY may
be able to gain some supporters from
the STAND parly, which finished with
18.51 percent of the presidential and
first vice presidential vote.
STAND presidential candidate Joe
Bowman originally said he would
endorse TODAY. He later said that
although he will not endorse TO
DAY, STAND will campaign against
VISION.
“The stuff in my pillows has more
substance than VISION’s platform,”
Bowman said. “Their name shouldn’t
be VISION, it should be MIRAGE.”
“How bad did we lose?” was
Bowman’s comment when the call
came from election officials. Six
STAND supporters waited for the
announcement in Bowman’s apart
ment.
“We were defeated by cynicism
and money,” he said.
Some STAND members said they
were angry they lost, while others I
said they were saddened by the num- '
ber of students who did not think
AS UN could be changed.
“We put our faith in the students
and they didn’t believe it could hap
pen,” Bowman said.
VISION and TODAY stand for the
status quo and corruption, and STAND
was out to change that, he said.
“We wanted to create a new sys
tem,” Bowman said.
Ike Isaacson, STAND second vice
presidential candidate, also criticized
the current AS UN system.
“How much worse can it get?” he
asked.
Fees

enough to make it worthwhile in my
eyes,” he said.
Bruning said that because no stu
dent fees pay for yearbook produc
tion, it won’t hurt to make one avail
able to a little more than one quarter
of UNL students.
Voters also gave their opinions on
student fees, questions that appear on
the ballot annually.
Non-refundable Fund B student
fees were approved by students. More
than 78 percent approved the Facility
Fee, which includes S18 per student
for the debt service and S3 for campus
recreation facility fees.
Voters also approved the operat
ing costs in the Fund B allocations.
Seventy percent of students sup
ported S65.72 per student for the
University Health Center.
The Nebraska Unions portion of
Fund B, S27.25, was approved by
70.7 percent, with 29.4 voting against.
Campus Recreation, $18.80 a stu
dent of Fund B fees, was supported by
81 percent of students and voted against
by 19 percent.
Fund A, the refundable portion of
student fees, also was approved by
voters. The Daily Nebraskan alloca
tion, 84 cents per student, was ap
proved by 80.4 percent of voters with
19.7 percent voting against it. About
73.2 percent of students supported
University Program Council speak
ers, which amounts to 45 cents per
student.
In 1989, students supported all fees
allocations. Fund A allocations were
supported by 71.1 percent of voters
and opposed by 26.4 percent.
Fund B operations costs were
supported as follows: 71 percent for
Campus Recreation programs, 75
percent for University Health Center
and 70.3 percent for the Nebraska
Unions.
In 1989, the debt service was ap
proved by 63.3 percent of voting stu
dents.

that, he said.
“Without trust you can t have a
community,” he said.
Sen. Lorraine Langford of Kear
ney asked Kidder wnere to begin
teaching ethics.
“We need to start with the con
ception ... that we need ethics,” he
said.
Although family and church struc
tures have dissolved somewhat dur
ing the last 100 years, he said, people
must realize and teach that “some
forms of behavior are superior to oth
