Board selects new DN editor
By Jeff Randall
Staff Reporter
After two and a half hours of
interviews and nearly an hour of
closed-session debate, the Publica
tions Board took one brief minute to
select the editor-in-chief for next
year’s paper.
J. Christopher Hain, a senior news
editorial and political science major,
was chosen with seven of the board
members’ nine votes.
Other applicants were Patrick
Hambrecht, Tim Pearson and Matt
Woody.
Each applicant gave a five-to-seven
minute speech to the board, then an
swered four core questions, followed
by a series of questions from indi
vidual board members.
Hain was the first to speak be
fore the board. He stressed the
responsibility the Daily Nebras
kan had to the university and its
community.
“The mission of the Daily Nebras
kan, first and foremost, must be to
service the university community,”
he said.
As evidence of his commitment to
the paper, Hain pointed to his three
years of experience at the Daily Ne
braskan, in which he served as a staff
reporter, a night news editor and a
senior reporter.
“I think I understand not only the
editorial side, but also the business
and advertising side of running a
successful paper,” he said.
Other issues Hain discussed in
cluded making letters to the editor
able to be sent through e-mail, devel
oping a better system of teaching
young reporters and drawing from
the entire university population when
hiring staff members.
After the board’s decision was
made, Hain said he was “a little over
whelmed.”
“It’s a great opportunity for me to
continue the tradition of excellent
college journalism,” he said.
“I hope to be as attentive as I can to
the needs of the community and put
out a newspaper that the students can
be proud of.”
Candidates agree on grading
By Sean McCarthy
Staff Reporter
Student involvement in elec
tions and grade policy changes
were two topics discussed in an
open forum debate among A SUN
candidates Thursday in the Ne
braska Union.
The Innocents Society, Mortar
Board and Golden Key welcomed the
four announced candidates in the
Association of Students of the Uni
versity of Nebraska in a debate that
featured questions by students who
attended the debate.
Each party was given the opportu
nity to deliver a three-minute open
ing statement that featured the plat
form of each party. After the opening
statements, the forum was open to
student questions.
One question on which all candi
dates agreed pertained to the upcom
ing vote to change the grading sys
tem. Each candidate was opposed to
the plan to add minuses to the system.
ACCESS presidential candidate
Chad Pekron encouraged all students
to come to the meeting where the vote
on the policy will be taken.
“This decision is going to affect
our lives,” Pekron said.
Mark McGoveran, presidential
candidate of the CUT COST party,
said he was optimistic that the policy
would be defeated.
Other questions such as the re
evaluation of the foreign language
requirement for undergraduates re
ceived mixed reaction.
Candidates of IMPACT, LET
TUCE and CUT COST were support
ive of the current requirement of four
semesters of a foreign language in
liberal arts colleges.
But Pekron said he would support
re-evaluating the requirement.
“Why should a student take four
semesters Of a language when they
don’t want to?” he said.
Pekron said he would support a
policy that would either enable a stu
dent to take four one-semester classes
of different foreign languages or other
classes that would enhance students’
skills in the job market.
The issue of diversity in ASUN
also brought mixed reactions from
each party.
Steve Korell, first vice presiden
tial candidate for IMPACT, said his
party would have $ui open invitation
for minority students. Korell also
stressed that his party had five minor
ity students running in other election’s
How can we persuade
minorities to participate
in our election process
when the entire student
body doesn’t elect?

LETTUCE
races.
Brian Fitzgerald, presidential can
didate for LETTUCE, said his party
was more concerned with the entire
student body participating in student
government. He said low voter turn
out last year was a key issue regarding
minority participation in the election
process.
“How can we persuade minorities
to participate in our election process
when the entire student body doesn’t
elect?” he said.
The debate, which lasted less than
an hour was concluded by brief State
ments from the party candidates.
Advising center to improve access
By Becky Keasling
Staff Reporter
More accessibility is the key to
improving the Advising Center
for the College of Arts and Sci
ences, the college’s advising co
ordinator said.
Anne Kopera said the current ad
vising system in the college was dif
ficult for students to use.
The advising center is located on
the 12th floor of Oldfather Hall. Since
many students don’t take advantage
of it, she said, a plan is under way to
move the advising center to the first
floor of Oldfather Hall.
The plan is still being finalized,
but Kopera said the center definitely
would be moved. Estimates about cost
and a completion date have not been
released.
“We’re going to go ahead with the
plan,” Kopera said. “Two of the first
floor classrooms will be used for the
new advising center. These class
rooms will be both visible and acces
sible to the students.”
The current location of the center
poses numerous problems for both
students and advisers. The maj or prob
lem for students, Kopera said, is that
they rarely go to the 12th floor.
Kopera said she thought students
would be more likely to stop in and
schedule appointments with their
advisers if the center was in a more
central location.
Peer Adviser Beth Johnson said
another problem with the current ad
vising center was that it was located
near the dean’s office.
Johnson said using first-floor class
rooms for an advising center would
be an advantage because advisers
would be in one central location.
Kopera said advising was not man
datory in the college, but she ex
pected increased student involvement
when the new center opened.
