GLC launches letter-writing campaign By Mrtanl* Brandwt_ Staff Reporter Student lobbyists will launch a let ter-writing campaign this week in opposition to the formation of a sepa rate engineering college at the Uni versity of Nebraska at Omaha. Shawntell Hurtgen, chairwoman of the Government Liaison Commit tee, said committee members would ask presidents of UNL student orga nizations ta write the University of Nebraska Board of Regents in oppo sition to the separate college. Hurtgen said students in Univer sity of Nebraska-Lincoln residence halls and greek houses also would be contacted to participate in the letter writing campaign. She said she thought many of the 5,000 students living on campus would write letters. She said she would try reach off campus students through student or ganizations. The letter-writing campaign will make a difference in the outcome of the debate, she said. “If anything, our efforts will help educate people.” Hurtgen said. “We just want students to know what’s going on because (a separate engi neering college) will affect them.” GLC lobbyist Bill Snyder said the campaign would be effective because letters from constituents have affected regents’ decisions in the past. “It has been proven that (letters) have put some pressure on them,” he said. “When we write letters to them, we will make sure they represent us.” Snyder said Andrew Loudon, president of the Association of Stu dents of the University of Nebraska, would assist GLC in the campaign. In other GLC business, Hurtgen said the committee would try to im prove student voting turnout through a three-part plan. The first part, registration, was completed in a registration drive ear lier this month in the Nebraska Union. More than 100 students reg istered to vote during the drive. Hurtgen said GLC also would dis tribute a newsletter to students pub lished by Project Vote Smart, a non partisan organization that promotes voting and educates voters. Police Continued from Page 1 Cauble said Veskrna was on ad ministrative leave so she would be available to talk to investigators on the case. The FBI recently talked to \feskma, he said. “I don’t know at what point we will bring her back,’’ Cauble said. The loss of Soflin and Veskrna brings the university police force to 10 commissioned officers, Cauble said. The force also has 15 commu nity service officers, five corporals and three sergeants. “Officers are used to things like this occurring,” Cauble said. “They know they’ll have to pick up some extra loads.” Cauble said the department would have to prioritize calls more than usual because of the shortage of of ficers. For example, he said, it may take police 20 to 30 minutes to respond to lower priority calls instead of the usual five to 10 minutes. Police will respond to urgent calls first, he said. However, Caubie said the situation bothered him because the department would have to cut back on extra ser vices, such as bicycle and foot patrols. Caubie said it was impossible to hire temporary replacements for Soflin and Veskrna. However, he said, two new offic ers will join the staff in December.

Larmon said he figured Subway’s construction was behind. “When they open up, they’re go ing to make a hell of a lot of money,” he said. “If I were Subway, I’d open up as soon as I could. I’d be thinking dollar signs.” Melanie McQuatters, a senior music education major, waited in line at Burger King Thursday. She said she was waiting for Subway because - sue wameu someimug a mite healthier.” She said she’d rather have a Sub way turkey sandwich than “grease.” But not all students were con cerned about Subway’s arrival. Kate Flaherty, an English gradu ate student, said she did not care when Subway arrived. “I rarely buy fast food,” she said, while standing in line at Amigos. “I do wish they had a Runza, though.” Jake Mortvedt, a senior geology major, waited his turn at Burger King. Mortvedt said that he would like a “regular sandwich” now and then, but he was indifferent to Subway’s delay. u uucmi luumu me <uij, uc miu. “I’d just have to w^lk somewhere else.” Korinek said the arrival of equip ment meant Subway was “dam near ready.” “We are anxious to get there and anxious to open,” she said. Though Subway is about two months behind schedule, Swanson said the wait was worth it. “When the plywood is taken away, you'll see a total remodel of that area of the union.” Senior Reporter Paula Lavigne and Staff Reporter John FuhvMer contributed to this report r FRLSAtToCtTi^Z FROM CHICAGO REGGAE BY JUMH .
