Lettuce Continued from Page 1 tion, the party’s Rastafarian/fund raising wing, is back. Kissler de scribed Cascade as a “high roller as well as a gold card-holding member of the players’ club.” Also like last year, the party plans to lobby for the University of Ne braska-Lincoln to be turned into a de facto wet campus. Under the plan, those 21 or older would be allowed to drink alcohol on campus. Unlike last year, the platform looks serious. The planks of their platform in clude placing a $200 cap on student election spending, keeping student fees down, addressing maintenance concerns and creating equity between services in the City and East Campus unions. Other planks include increasing lighting and campus safety patrols, increasing the amount of metered parking on East Campus while trying to improve parking on City Campus and expanding NRoll hours. “We intend to give students high speed representation at half the cost,” Kissler said, smoking a foot-long ci gar. Other ideas are brewing among party members for the platform. Smith said he wanted to have the University Program Council try to get a “Danny Bonaduce vs. Donny Osmond 2” pay per-view fight on campus. During the discussion on having a Partridge Family reunion with Susan Dey on tambourine, party members started to disagree, until Kissler said: “Oohh, political infighting. Some day, we’ll be like the regents.” The three candidates insist they are not the freak party this year. Smith said they were running a legitimate campaign, and the party saw itself as the working man’s party. Smith also fired the first shots of the campaign, saying that the IMPACT party represented a minority of stu dent views. Kissler said the LETTUCE party campaign for office was an attempt to thwart voter apathy and restore faith in the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska. “Essentially, we intend to create a conspiracy to resurrect ASUN from the bowels of treachery,” he said. Kissler said ASUN had been run by the same party, although under different names, for the past four years, with the presidents and executives being groomed for ASUN as fresh men. “If we win, we carry out our plat form,” he said. “That’s what we in tend to do.” Therapy Continued from Page 1 years in an area designated as a health profession shortage area. Claudia Runyon, program direc tor for the department of occupa tional therapy at Creighton, said there was a growing need for occupational therapy all over the country, particu larly in rural areas. The growing number of people living longer with disabilities has contributed to this need, Runyon said. An important part of addressing the problem, Runyon said, is getting students who already understand the culture of the rural environment — such as Sanderson — to return to rural areas. For Sanderson, the bill would make it even easier to return to a setting she already loves.

Player asks for delay in trial date From Staff Reports Nebraska football player Reggie Baul was back in court Wednesday asking for a delay in his trial on a charge of receiving stolen property. The charge was reduced Jan. 12 from a previous theft charge. Baul’s lawyer, Hal Anderson, had said Baul would plead guilty. Anderson said Wednesday that statement was pre mature. i-1 “Reggie maintains his innocence,” he said. “We discussed his options, and he didn’t want to pursue any thing else but to go to trial.” Prosecutors had no objection when Anderson asked Lancaster County Court Judge Jack Lindner for the delay. Baul gave up his right to a speedy trial. Baul was arrested Nov. 20 after reportedly taking a wallet at a restau rant. He pleaded no contest to the charge Dec. 7 and was ordered to pay $124 in fines and court costs. That plea was later withdrawn. Another individual has said he took the wallet and gave some of its con tents to Baul. Police report they found Baul in possession of those contents while searching him in the parking lot. Baul heads back to the court for a bench trial March 6. O.J.

Simpson’s next-door-neighbor, would say she saw his white Bronco parked in the street outside his estate at 10:15 p.m. on June 12, the time that prosecutors say Nicole Simpson and Goldman were killed.
