Career fair
offers chance
for employment
The UNL Career Services
Center will sponsor a Govern
ment and Non-Profit Career Fair
on Thursday in the Nebraska
Union.
The fair will be a gathering
place for more than 60 federal,
state and local organizations.
Geri Cotter, acting director
of the Career Services Center,
said the fair was a unique oppor
tunity for students who were
undecided about their future
employment.
“This is a good place for stu
dents to explore an area they
usually don’t hear about,” she
said. “This (government and
non-profit career) fair comes at
a time when a lot ofschools have
dropped theirs because of a lack
of response from the kinds of
places that offer these kinds of
jobs.
“We’re one of the only
schools that are still having
these.”
The fair will be in the Cen
tennial Room of the Nebraska
Union from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Several workshops pertain
ing to careers in criminal justice,
law enforcement, human ser
vices and counseling wi 11 follow
the fair. Rooms will be posted.

Gamblers’ Anonymous
adds meeting on campus
By Tasha E. Kelter
Staff Reporter
If you’ve ever bet a dollar or two on
a Nebraska football game, you’re prob
ably pretty normal.
But some students go overboard
with their gambling, said James
Shchom, treasurer and publicity chair
man for the Gamblers’ Anonymous
Lincoln chapter.
Because of this, he said, Gamblers’
Anonymous had added a Lincoln meet
ing for college students only, starting
tonight.
“We know it’s needed on campus,”
Shehorn said. “All campuses have bet
ting on football and baseball and things.
Then there’s Bingo, Keno ... it just
expands from there.”
The Wednesday night meetings,
which will be at the University Health
Center, are being started because Gam
blers’ Anonymous is particularly con
cerned about col lege students not com
ing to the regular meetings, Shehom
said.
“College-age members would rather
be with their peers,” he said.
He said a person who bet a reason
able amount on the Fiesta Bowl did not
necessarily have a problem with a gam
bling addiction.
But some students may start dou
bling and tripling their bets, sinking
them deeply into debt, forcing them to
sell their valuables or steal to pay off
debts, Shehom said.
“It gets excessive—you get devas
tated when you start losing,” he said.
Anyone interested in the program
may call the Gamblers’ Anonymous
hot line at 473-7933.
Vote for the ‘best’ professor
Students who vote in the ASUN
election today will have a positive way
to evaluate their instructors, ASUN
president Shawntell Hurtgen said.
Along with voting for the Associa
tion of Students of the University of
Nebraska, students will choose their
favorite university professor, Hurtgen
said.
The professor chosen as “best” by
the most student voters will be re
vealed at the March 27 ASUN meet
ing, she said, and he or she will receive
some kind of award.
The idea originated when Hurtgen
and Graduate College senator Ron
Miller began working on a way to
evaluate teachers in a more positive
light.t
* “The jitfrpipse is*to show students
that there’s a positive way to evaluate
their professors,” Hurtgen said.
“As far as I know, nothing like this
has been done for teachers,’’ Hurtgen
said. “At least not in the last four
years.”
ASUN will discuss the project at a
short meeting tonight.

Campaign
Continued from Page 1
Ewas an alternative to the po
1 machine ACTION would
continue running, Gregorius said.
“If people really listened to the
things they said, it was the same
things that they have been saying
the past few years,” Gregorius said.
“It was so repetitively disgusting.”
Kara Marshall, second vice
presidential candidate for ACTION,
said the party’s diversity proved to
students it wasn’t a political ma
chine.
“A political machine docs not
consist of 72 students representing
concerns of all areas of campus,”
she said.
Marshall said the OFFICE party
ran a negative campaign, but that it
didn’t hurt ACTION because the
claims weren’t true.
Brendan Bussmann, campaign
manager for OFFICE, said that de
spite accusations of negative cam
paigning, the party was only trying
to present the truth, which had been
hidden in A SUN.
“We would never throw any
thing out there without anything to
back it up,” he said.
Amy Rager, campaign manager
for ACTION, said OFFICE at
tempts at bashingpast ASUN offic
ers was irrelevant to the 1996 elec
tion.
“The issues are what’s relevant,”
Rager said. “The negative tones
just distract from the issues.”
Rager said the ACTION party
tried to avoid negative campaign
ing and focus on the positive side of
ASUN.
“Students don’t like negative
campaigning,”she said. “They want
to stay positive.”
ACTION showed students they
could deal with issues better than
OFFICE, Rager said, because the
party claims such a broad base of
candidates, Rager said.
The party tried to get as many
students involved as possible, she
said, by visiting student organiza
tions such as ISO and RHA and
getting them on the ACTION ticket.
Rager said ACTION was not
hurt by OFFICE’S claims that AC
TION was trying to buy the elec
tion.
She said ACTION had to spend
more to inform students of all its
candidates.
As of Monday, the ACTION
party had spent about $ 1,200 on its
campaign, Rager said. OFFICE had
spent about $398, Bussmann said.
Gregorius said ACTION may
not have used money to buy votes,
but it would protect the interests of
the candidates on its slate.
Greeks on campus, who
Gregorius said would make up 900
to 1,000 of ACTION’S votes, would
be rewarded by ACTION with
greater greek representation on
committees.
