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.

institutions.
According to those responses,
graduate enrollment for Asians, His
panics, blacks and whiles increased
from 1986 to 1988, while American
Indian enrollment decreased 2 per
cent during the same period.
Asian students had the largest
increase from 1986 to 1988, up al
most 15 percent. Black graduate en
rollment increased about 10 percent,
and Hispanic enrollment increased 9
percent in the same period.
White enrollment increased about
2 percent from 1986 to 1988, accord
ing to the survey.
At the University of Nebraska
Lincoln, the percentage of women
who earned doctorate degrees in 1988
89 is almost the same as the national
percentage.
According to figures from UNL
Institutional Research Planning &
Fiscal Analysis, about 35 percent of

Of the 236 doctorate degrees at
UNLin 1988-89, whites earned 177;
blacks, six; Asians, two; Hispames,

American Indians did not receive any

things have changed.
“The Midwest is very stable,” he
said.
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.

have bad credit and who can af ford to
pay off their loans, he said.
Moore said he can guarantee that
some communi’ies don't need stu
dents from vocational schools. When
these people don t tind jods, nc said,
they default on their loans.

for aluminum cans barely is cov
ered, he said.
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.

Wolz said he decided to apply as a
volunteer after a friend of his w ent to
Mali, Africa, as a volunteer.
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.”__
