VISION presidential candidate Phil Gosch said the Association of Stu dents of the University of Nebraska Senate and executive race results prove something to him. • Gosch said he thinks the 20 senate seals VISION gained compared to the nine picked up by TODAY and STAND demonstrate that VISION had I the belter candidates. “I think our senate candidates were by far the most qualified,” he said. But TODAY presidential candi date Deb Fiddclkc said the senate candidates recruited by TODAY were just as qualified and dedicated. Because of those qualifications, she said, she was disappointed that more of the TODAY candidates were n’t elected. ‘‘Everyone on our slate was really strong,” she said. Fiddclkc said she credits VISION’s senate success to its campaign, which was begun earlier than TODAY’S. ‘ ‘They had good organization early on,” she said. Gosch agreed, saying, “we took a lot more time in putting our campaign together.” He said part of the reason for his party’s success was the support given to the party from off-campus, minor ity and residence hall students. He said those students, who often arc left out of ASUN, supported VISION because the party platform contained plans to reform student government. Gosch said he thinks the executive election results prove that students want to sec a change in ASUN. If the total votes for STAND and VISION arc combined, more than 2,000 students indicated “they are ready for a change,” he said. The TODAY parly represents the current student government and those that voted for STAND and VISION showed they wanted new leaders, he said. But Fiddclke disagreed with Gosch’s interpretation of the results. “I don’t think it’s fair to assume that these two parties (STAND and VISION) arc similar,” she said. Comments made by members of STAND show how opposed they are to the VISION party, she said. She said the accusation that TO DAY represents the status quo in ASUN is not valid, because as Government Liaison Committee chairman, she has Agriculture Paul Ludden 148 Eric Thurbcr 151 MMM Architecture Wade Fischer 35 n Dental College u\j Sudie Robison 6 ^ • • Home ZTz Economicsw Kaye Ottcn 55 CsjE Teachers z—; College gggr Lawne llokom 192 Patty Heng 173 Abbie Amcson 190 John Bruce/Daily Nebraskan 7 Arts & Sciencesf ^ Christi Ebeltoft 388 |_ Andy Massey 363 Liz Jurgens 398 Chris Potter 36OS7VW0 Kristin Henry 330 Pam Kohlmeicr 373 \ Law Steve Mossman 11 Engineering I Brad Wegner 107 Troy Heuermann 96 1 Journalism ^ Alisa Miller 114 Megan Kim 124 ■ Nursing Becky Schroer 11 - Graduate D.

He said that if elected he would meet with university officials, student leaders, minority grou ps and other organ i /at ions to de vc lop ideas and opinions and Icam his duties. “I'm not sure I’m a leader who has presup posed ideas of what I want to accomplish, but I am someone available to listen, to seek out anyone who has a problem and to work with them,” McArthur said. He said he doesn’t know how good his chances arc. But he said if a sizeable percent age of UNL students vote, he thinks he has a better chance. ‘‘I may not have the long professional ca reer ... but I feel I have what the board of See McARTHUR on 3 Deficit appropriations proposal gives university $8.2 million By Victoria Ayotte Senior Reporter and Jerry Guenther Staff Reporter The Nebraska Legislature on Thursday advanced to second-round debate the 1989-91 deficit appropriations bill, which includes about $8.2 million for the University of Nebraska.
