MASA Continued from Page 1 The group discussed ideas, Maestas said, but declined to be specific. She said they would turn the proposals over to officials next week. Maestas said the group met in closed session to discuss ideas within MASA before bringing it out in the open. “This is a MASA thing first,” she said. “Then it can be brought out into the public. “This is something that needs to be public. That’s what it’s been (in the past) — people don’t know about it and nothing gets done.” Maestas said the proposals given to administrators would not be a one time fix-all. “This is a continuing thing,” she said. “And that’s the way it should be for all parties concerned. “Continual dialogue should never quit,” Maestas said she was happy with the discussion going on between V V V V V V Decorated cookies for your Valentine Order yours today!

Groups launch ASUN campaigns By Heather Lampe Staff Reporter As of the Wednesday deadline for candidacy, two student election groups will be vying for executive positions in the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska. The VISION party, led by presi dential candidate Andrew Loudon, kicked off its campaign during a rally Wednesday afternoon in the Nebraska Union. Loudon, a junior political science major, is running with first vice pres idential candidate Britt Ehlers, a jun ior secondary education major, and second vice presidential candidate Judy Rishel, a junior communications studies major. Loudon said he was running be cause he had the experience, and peo ple in a democratic society should serve their community. “It is an ideal in the democratic society to be of service in their com munity whether it be state, city or the UNL community. “I feel I have the experience and the vision to make a difference during the one-year term as ASUN president,” said Loudon, who served as speaker of the ASUN senate his freshman and sophomore years and is the Govern ment Liaison Committee chairman. Loudon said one important issue on which VISION would focus was coordinating student lobbying efforts in the NU system to work against possible budget cuts from the Legisla ture. “We can do it effectively because we’re in Lincoln. Fighting against budget cuts next year will be a huge issue we will face,” Loudon said. Other highlights of the VISION platform include: • Keeping student fees at or below cost-of-living increases. • Opposing the creation of a sepa rate UNO engineering college. • Working toward even more flex ible meal plans for residence hall stu dents. • Creating an organized effort to increase freshman involvement in ASUN. • Increasing student representa tion on campuswide committees. VISION will be challenged by the RESUME party, led by presidential candidate J.B. Howell, a senior crim inal justice major. Howell’s running mates are first vice presidential candidate Robert Anderson, a senior English and polit ical science major, and second vice presidential candidate Joey Whitney. Howell said he had been planning to run for ASUN president for a while. He said he would like to change ASUN’s ongoing trend of discussing irrelevant topics. “They commended Hillary Clinton in a resolution and had a resolution about the AP poll placing Florida State above Nebraska. They wrote a resolution about that.” said Howell, who has served for one year on the Committee for Fees Allocation and has been a member of the University Judicial Board for two years. Howell said the RESUME party would also focus part of its campaign on changing the university’s new non smoking policy. “1 firmly believe that the student unions should provide a room in which smoking is allowed, like a smoking lounge,” Howell said. “Their student fees pay for it.” RESUME also will focus on Com mittee for Fees Allocation funding. “I find it ironic that ASUN receives the largest portion of Fund A funds consistently year after year. They ask for an increase and just receive it. The DN and UPC ask for an increase of a small dollar amount, yet are denied,” Howell said. If elected, Howell said he would also like to address the idea of UNL becoming a wet campus. “In light of the Jeffrey Knoll inci dent at the Fiji house, the current policy needs to be reformed,” Howell said. “The dry campus policy pushes people to be more secretive about their drinking and possibly less aware of the effects of alcohol. “I believe that a person of legal drinking age should be allowed to drink alcohol in their fraternities and residence halls,” he said. Other issues on which RESUME will focus include opposing the pro posed $5 registration fee for bicycles, expanding the evening class sched ules and finding more parking closer to the core of campus. Arctic temperatures come to end From Daily Nebraskan and Associated Press Reports Temperatures are expected to rise to 30 degrees today after three days of arctic weather in Lincoln and across the Midwest.
