■ Candidates reload campaigns for runoff election
By Emily Rosenbaum
Senior Reporter
Presidential candidates of TO
DAY and VISION,, reloading
their campaigns for Wednes
day’s runoff election, assessed the
results of the AS UN Senate races.
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

“If you look at our platform,” she
said, “you’ll see we’re devoted to

The results of the advisory board
races, wilh VISION collecting 28 seats

the success of the VISION party, Gosch

Thursday announced his candidacy for
the District 1 regent scat, which will be
vacated by Don Frickc of Lincoln.

McArthur said.
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.

will be installed in university libraries
By Mindy Mozer
Sutt Reporter
Students searching lor books and maga
zines at Love Library in the future will
be aided by a computer catalog system.
According to Kitty McGinnis, assistant in
the dean of libraries’ office, who is coordinat
ing public relations for the computer system,
the catalog will be installed in April at Love
and some branch libraries. The dentistry li
brary will be computerized in May.
Although the initial setup is scheduled for
April, the computerized catalog will not be in
full use until fall, McGinnis said.
In April, students will be able to search for
bibliographical information by subject, author,
title and keyword, she said. The keyword al
lows users of the system to search for informa
tion based on subject words they think are in
the title.
The computer also will list books that are
nearby on the shelf. It will not show text of
books.
