ASUN election debates limited to 6
By Jennifer O'Cilka
Senior Reporter
The Electoral Commission Tuesday passed
a provision allowing a maximum of six
debates, all conducted by the commis
sion, during student government elections.
The new provision also states that the Elec
toral Commission will allow for participation
in the debates by all executive candidates and
will publish the details of the debate format and
procedures 10 days before the beginning of the
campaign period.
No other debates among executive candi
dates for Association of Students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska will be authorized during the
campaign, the new section states.
Bart Vitek, director of the Electoral Com
mission, said the commission would sponsor
the debates and get student groups to ask the
questions.
Previous rules allowed any organization to
sponsor an AS UN election debate if it regis
tered with the commission one week before the
event. Eight registered debates -- two per week
- were allowed during the four-week election
period.
Ned Hedges, a faculty representative to the
commission, said the biggest change was lim
iting debates to those sponsored by the com
mission.
The original proposal before the commis
sion would have limited the number of debates
to four.
Jeremy Felkcr, a political science major,
said cutting the number of debates in half
would not help get more students involved.
By making all debates Electoral Commis
sion-sponsored, “you’re taking care of qual
ity,” Felkcr said. “If you go to every different

Reservists
get ready
to move out
By Lee Rood
Senior Editor
Cbout 20 UNL student reservists have
been affected by U.S. military involve
ment in the Middle East and that num
ber is expected to grow, an administrative
assistant to the vice chancellor for student
affairs said Tuesday.
Linda Schwartzkopf said her primary re
sponsibility lately has been helping student
reservists adjust their class schedules when
duty calls. Thus far, Schwartzkopf said, four
recently activated reservists have met with her
to adjust schedules.
In addition, Schwartzkopf said, she has been
in contact with at least 20 students who have
been called to duty or will be soon.
About seven of those students, she said, are
members of an Omaha-based medical unit that
will begin its annual training in November. The
unit, which includes Lincoln and Grand Island
detachments, typically docs its annual training
during the summer but will go early because of
the crisis.
One of the student members of the unit,
Laurie Sticgcrt, said her unit will leave Nov. 3
for Pennsylvania and should only be gone for
two weeks — unless they arc activated.
Whether or not the unit will be activated,
said Stiegert’s detachment commander, Sgt.
Rick Witte, is “the $6 million question.”
If the group is activated, about 30 students
in the 130-member Lincoln detachment will be
affected.
In the meantime, Witte said, the stepped-up
annual training is a precautionary measure
taken by the military to make sure the unit gets
the training it needs on certain equipment.
Students forced to leave the university be
cause of a commitment to the reserves arc
being dealt with on an individual basis, Sch
wartzkopf said.
Most of those students can choose to with
draw from their classes or take incomplctcs,
she said.
‘ ‘Most professors are being very accommo
dating,” she said.
If the students opt to withdraw from a course,
Schwartzkopf said, “we arc working with them
to allow a full refund on tuition if they have

Park planned for Temple block
Businesses look for new spots to set up shop
By Stray McKenzie
and Michelle Dyer
Staff Reporters
Businesses neighboring the
Temple Building are looking
for a new spot to set up shop
because of plans to change their block
into a park.
The Hole Works, 1227 R St.,
Kinko’s, 1229 R St., Taco Inn, 1245
R St., and daVinci’s, 13th and Q
streets, will be torn down as part of
the plan to build a park on the Univer
sity of Nebraska-Lincoln City Cam
pus linking it to downtown Lincoln.
The Temple Building, located at
12th and R streets, is the only build
ing that will be left standing on the
block.
The park is part of a long-range
plan developed in 1985-86 to provide
green space around the Lied Center
for Performing Arts.
Kim Todd, a UNL campus land
scape architect, said the park will cost
about $250,000. The NU Foundation
is working on financing for the proj
ect, she said.
A starting date for the construction
has not been set, Todd said. “I can
say that it won’t be before next sum
mer,” she said.
Jack Goebel, associate chancellor
and vice chancellor for business and
finance, said businesses on the block,
owned by the NU Foundation or the
university, have varying arrangements
as to when their leases expire.
Sharon Kuhn, manager and owner
of The Hole Works, is looking for a
new location for the shop because its
lease expires in July 1991.
Regulars to the restaurant arc dis
appointed about the relocation, she
said.
Kinko’s already has secured a new
location in the old Baskin-Robbins
store at 12th and Q streets. The busi
ness will move Dec. 1, 1990.
Rod Gcist, shift supervisor, said
he :elt the move would not affect
business.
“The new store is larger so it will
improve the service we can offer,” he
said, and “will also be to the workers’
benefit.”
Kent Knudson, vice president of
da Vinci’s, said the restaurant will
remain at its current location until
January 1993.
“It is critical to our business that
we don’t portray ourselves as moving
soon,” he said._
