ASUN circulates petitions for senator to keep position From Staff Reports Association of Students of the University of Nebraska senators will petition for a constitutional referen dum to allow an elected senator for the division of continuing studies to exercise her position. Sandy Haughton was elected to the position without knowing about a requirement that senators have to carry at least the 12 credit hours of classes. ASUN President Phil Gosch is distributing a petition to ASUN sena tors so that they can take copies home with them for the summer, he said. After the beginning of the fall semes ter, senators will try to compile the 1,400 signatures needed for the con stitutional referendum. The referendum to change the constitution would be in October. Any recommended changes in AS UN’s constitution would be voted on by students within 10 days of the refer endum, he said. An earlier attempt to allow Haughton to exercise her position by, going through the student court failed, he said. _____1 iinbrifen Winners selected for Vreeland Awards Six University of Nebraska-Lincoln students received the 31st annual Vreeland Awards for creative work in art, music and literary composition.

More people think about higher education in Midwestern states, and more jobs also arc available so the loans can be paid back quicker with out being counted as defaulted. Pcopie in middle America arc drawn more to traditional, four-year univer sities, whereas Americans in other areas of the country sometimes are drawn more to vocational schools, Moore said. Another reason UNL’s default rate is lower than the national average is that it is a four-year institution, not a vocational school. Moore said default rates at voca tional schools are higher than at tradi tional colleges and universities.

Because not enough aluminum cans and papers have been col lected and because the buyer for the materials, the Recycling Cen ter, went out of business, the busi ness has generated no money, he said. Another buyer, Dennis’ Paper Sales, is interested in purchasing the materials, he said. Next year, with more advertis ing at the beginning of the year, the recycling program will do belter because “students use an awful lot of cans, and get enough newspa pers and junk mail to cover the floor everyday,” Vihstadt said. Some of the initial profits will be spent on “mini-toters” to haul cans from the floor to the dumpsters, Vihstadt said. He said half the profits from the Sfi will be spent for “social ” such as a student dance or for stereo equipment “The money will go directly to the students,” he said. “We wanted to make sure that it wasn’t eaten up by administration or siphoned off for some other project. ’ The other half, which will go to “social charity,” has been ear marked for the YMCA’s Big Brother and Big Sister programs, he said. “We decided that the human resource was just as important,” he said.

He said the experience will make him a better teacher when he returns to the United Stales because it will help him give his students an appre ciation for cultural diversity. Wolz said his main concern will be learning to live without many of die things he now takes for granted. He said his family and friends have been very supportive. Others, he said, think the job could be risky. “Some people think it’s pretty brave,” Wolz said. “They say things like, ‘Don’t get killed.’ A lot of people think of (the Philippines) as a war tom country. I know there’s some civil unrest, but I would characterize my attitude as a healthy degree of caution.”__ WERE FIGHTING FOR VOJR LIFE American Heart £ m Association ^lr Nebraska Affiliate -—-1 p - ; • rrn" • Consider College Independent Study If you are considering taking a course this summer, consider UNL College Independent Study.
