ASUN defends homecoming court
Senator says few
minorities were
royalty applicants
By John Fulwlder
Staff Reporter
ASUN senators at their Wednes
day meeting received clarification on
homecoming selections after a com
plaint had arisen that the court lacked
minority and non-greek representa
_ tion.
benator mil
Anderson of the
College of Arts
and Sciences
said he didn't
completely un
derstand the
substance of a
recent com
plaint. Senator Andy Vuko, who also
is the chairwoman of the homecom
ing royalty committee, responded to
his question.
Vuko said two students wrote a
letter to the committee detailing what
they felt was wrong with the process
and asked that it be halted. Kwani
Stewart and Ayanna Boykins, who
both applied to be on the court, com
plained to several organizations last
week that the selection process was
biased against minorities and non
greek students.
Vuko said that after reviewing the
complaint, the committee voted
unanimously to continue interview
ing for the finalists.
“It’s a great court this year, I’m
very excited,” she said.
After the meeting, Vuko said few
applicants were minorities.
“We had, of the applicants that
actually turned in their applications,
four minority students — four out of
51,” Vuko said.
All four were women, Vuko said.
In addition, she said, two men and
seven or eight women were non
greek.
It also was announced that Mark
Byars had been appointed interim
homecoming electoral commission
director because the current director,
Stacy Lovelace, was a homecoming
court candidate.
In other business, Senator Tory
Sigler of the engineering college dis
cussed a memo entitled “Talking
Points on the Engineering Issue” that
had been given to all the senators.
One of the 11 points questioned the
need to spend millions of dollars on
a new college; another said the col
lege would be an unnecessary dupli
cation.
“Everyone needs to be aware of
these points, so if the press comes and
talks to you or students come and talk
to you, you know information about
it and you can give them information
back,” he said.
He said senators needed to be in
formed because the issue of an engi
neering college at the University of
Nebraska at Omaha would continue
to be important in coming months.
