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

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.
