Vote Continued from Page 1 follow politics, and that is bad.” Kevin Kavanagh, a freshman gen eral studies major, said he probably wouldn't vote; he hadn’t registered. "I’m not interested in politics yet,” Kavanagh said. Both students said they did not associate with a political party, but Ronne said she identified more with the Republican party because her parents were members. Hibbing said students were fairly independent when it came to politi cal parties. He said independents did not vote as often as people affiliated with a political party, and students’ independence could contribute to the low number of younger voters. Since the 1980s and the terms of Ronald Reagan, students have been more conservative, Hibbing said—a change from the traditinal liberal stance students in the ’60s and ’70s took. “That might be changing back in the ’90s, but it may be too soon to tell,*’ he said. Hibbing said his children were excited about a straw poll election at their elementary schools Tuesday. That kind of enthusiasm usually wears off by the time children reach legal voting age, he said. However, Hibbing said, the num ber of voters increased with age and the level of education. He said voter participation peaked among 55- to 60-year-old voters. Virginia Currin, a 34-year-old jun ior psychology major, said she was going to vote in the election. She said her family made it a project to get informed about the candidates and vote. Currin said voting gave her the right to gripe about the government. “For us being minorities, we haven’t always had the privilege,” said Currin, who is an African Ameri can. i-POLICE REPORT-1 . . ___r._w u_t HOC kl Beginning Monaay miamgm 9:24 am — Accident, Stadium Drive, $100 damage. 11:00 am— Larceny other, Morrill Hall, $700 loss. 4:29 pm—Larceny from building, Love Library, periodicals taken, cleared with one arrest. 8:43 pm — Larceny from building, Sandoz Residence Hall, purse and con tents taken, $32 loss.

Student senate will assume sponsorship of Homecoming ly M«|«nU Brndft Staff Reporter ASUN made itself the official sponsor of Homecoming at its meeting Wednesday. Andrew Loudon, presi dent of the As sociation of Students of the University of Nebraska, said after the meet ing that senators approved a new bylaw change that gave the event a permanent sponsor. Previously, homecoming was sponsored by the Office of Student Involvement, University Program Council and the Student Affairs office. Loudon said future Homecom ing coordinators would be ap pointed by the ASUN president. He said the steering committee would consist of representatives from the following organizations: ASUN, Interfratemity Council, the Panhellenic Association, Resi dence Hall Association, Student Alumni Association, NU Athletic Department and University Pro gram Council. Each organization will organize specific events dur ing Homecoming week. ASUN decided it wanted to take over the event because it thought the weeklong celebration should belong to UNL students. “ASUN is the only autonomous or student run organization on cam pus,” he said. “We are totally stu dent-run and elected, so in a sense we are student-owned.” Loudon said Homecoming was successful this year because ASUN provided activities that encouraged more student involvement. “We are bringing traditions back and there is a sense that students are getting more involved with Homecoming activities,” he said. Grant to upgrade lab equipment By John Fulwldr _ Staff Reporter A $10,000 grant to the Depart ment of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering will improve a UNL research program, a department assistant professor said. Robert Williams said the grant, which was used to upgrade existing laboratory equipment, would expand the Nontraditional Manufacturing Research Center’s research capabili ties. The grant was one of 25 metrol ogy equipment grants to 19 schools as part or Browne & Sharpe’s Excel lence in Metrology Education Grant Program. Brown and Sharpe is the oldest leading manufacturer of equip ment for metrology, the science, of measuring precision machine com ponents. Williams said a previous grant from Browne & Sharpe allowed the center to purchase a MicroVal Coor dinate Measuring Machine, which will be upgraded with the new grant. The device allows for different machine parts to be measured pre ciseiy in a numoer or dimension ana surface measurements. The CMM and other machines also are used by students who do not attend the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Students from other col leges and engineers employed by lo cal manufacturing firms use the equip ment on weekends. Those students are taking remote classes offered on Nebraska CorpNet. Through CorpNet, engineering classes can be broadcast via satellite to 20 facilities across Nebraska.
