Some ASUN positions unfilled By Erin Schulte Staff Reporter More than 150 positions in UNL’s student government must be filled by the end of the semester, A SUN Presi dent Shawntell Hurtgen said Mon day. Positions are open on about 29 campus committees and councils. The deadline for applying for the positions was Monday, but Hurtgen said applications may be made avail able again if not enough students applied to fill the spots. Hurtgen said it was possible there wouldn’t be enough applicants be cause students were concentrating on finals or not yet thinking about next year, when most of the positions would take effect. Students applying for the posi tions will interview with the new Appointments Board, she said. Many students had applied for groups, such as the Campus Recre ation Advisory Council, the Parking Appeals Boardandthe Judicial Board, Hurtgen said. The Government Liaison Com mittee, a student lobbying group, is especially popular among freshmen, Hurtgen said. Students who apply are guaranteed a spot on the committee. Also, she said, most applicants usu ally have had some experience with student government in high school, making the committee seem more inviting than other campus groups. While some students may see these committees as just a way to pad their resumes, most of the committees are important on campus, said Marlene Beyke, adviser for the Association of Students of the University of Ne braska. “These committees can make or break what happens around campus,” Beyke said. “They absolutely decide how student life will be.” For instance, Beyke said, the Cam pus Recreation Center usually bases its decisions on recommendations from the Campus Recreation Advi sory Council. Beyke said mostly freshmen be came involved in open-entry com mittees like the Government Uaison Committee, but sophomores anp jun iors also became involved because they felt they knew the campus well enough to commit more time and effort to campus government. Positions also are open for a new group formed this year. The Nebraska Union Board will voice students’ opinions to the union director about plans for renovation. Positions will be announced in a few weeks, Hurtgen said. Those se lected will be contacted by phone or letter, or they can attend the ASUN meeting to hear all new appointments. If students are interested in further campus government openings, appli cations for open positions are always available at the ASUN office or ad vertised in the Daily Nebraskan. Wet weather cancels CBS event ay June aopczyK Staff Reporter ” As Gina Foreman entered the Ne braska Union on Monday, she shook her head and tried to wring the water from her long, red hair. “I just want it to warm up,” said Foreman, a sophomore biology ma jor. “It’s April, and it feels like win ter.” Lincoln received steady rains Monday morning, and temperatures remained cool. “Before my first class there was no rain,” Foreman said. “Then it started pouring.” Michael Powers, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said Monday’s heavy rains would continue today, with the possibility of wet snow. Temperatures are not expected to climb out of the 30s. Though western Nebraska could get more snow, warmer temperatures in the east will make snow unlikely in Lincoln, he said. “I just ivant it to ivarm up. It’s April, and it feels like winter. ” ■ GINA FOREMAN sophomore biology major The CBS College Tour was one casualty of the rain. The weather forced cancellation of the yearly tour’s arrival on Broyhill Plaza. The event will not be rescheduled. Conditions should improve toward the end of the week, Powers said. There is a slight chance of rain Wednesday, and temperatures should reach the low to mid 40s. Tempera tures will then become more season able, reaching the lower 70s by Fri day. Although temperatures have been unseasonably cool in recent days, Powers said, that is not unexpected or unusual. “It’s not exceptionally unusual, but the average highs shouldbe around 60,” Powers said. “Highs in the 30s are quite cool but not unheard of in this changeable time of the year.” Powers said the cold air in eastern Nebraska was due to a shifting storm system of warpi air from the south. The storm system is moving north and colliding with the cooler air of the north and the west. Candice Harms memorial to be built By Becky Keasling Staff Reporter The greenspace north of Nebraska Union will get a new addition this summer when a memorial is built for former UNL student Candice Harms. Harms was abducted and murdered in 1992 as a freshman at UNL. The memorial, a 4-foot wall, will include an etching of Harms and a poem chosen by her family. Former ASUN President Andrew Loudon announced at the 1995 ASUN inauguration that more than $10,500 had been raised for the Candice Harms Memorial Fund, exceeding his goal of $10,000. “Hie thing that impressed me the most was the large amount of college students who gave between $5 and $10 to the cause,” Loudon said. “Almost all of the money was contributed from small student con tributions,” he said. “Also, many of the campus fraternities and sororities gave generous contributions of be tween $50 and $100.” Loudon also said he was impressed with the number of people from else where in Nebraska who gave money to preserve Harms’ memory. “We received large sums of money from people who had heard about the Candice Harms tragedy,” he said. “People who had never met her were giving $500 contributions.” Now that the fund-raising efforts are complete, construction of the memorial is left to Campus Land scape Architect Kim Todd, ASUN adviser Marlene Beyke said. The project is expected to be com pleted by fall. Fascinatingly Funny! OUR COUNTRY’S GOOD April 13-15 & 18-22 TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
