His duties leave him little time to visit with students, Jones said, something he wishes he could do more. “I have met some students who have introduced themselves and what their majors are,” he said. “I don’t get the opportunity to interact with students, but hopefully, within a year, I’ll get back to teaching.” Jones has taught finance classes at Marquette University in Milwau kee and at George Washington Uni versity. For the future, Jones said, he wants to take UNL to the top of colleges in business. “I want to propel the University of Nebraska in business and finance as a leader amongcolleges and uni versities,” Jones said. “If I can achieve that, I will make a small contribution to this great univer sity.” _ Wages Continued from Page 1 Brashear cited statistics saying that by age 30, only 2 percent of the labor force worked for minimum wage. Sen. Jim Jensen of Omaha told the floor that studies showed that increas ing the minimum wage decreased the number of jobs available. But Wescly said that wasn’t the case at all. “It’s nonsense to say that helping the poor would hurt the poor,” he said. “If you want to reward work, then this is the way to do it.” In closing on the amendment, Wesely warned of the reaction sena tors would get from their districts. He wanted them prepared to re spond to a constituent who asked “you thought 25 cents was too much?” Hurtgen Continued from Page 1 said he was impressed with Hurtgen’s leadership as a student regent. “The student regents that we have had have been outstanding, and Shawntdl’s been one of the best,” Blank said. “I’m very proud of her. She was a strong contributor, and she really was outstanding. “She will be missed.” James Gricsen, vice chancellor for student affairs and ASUN adviser, said he too would miss Hurtgen. “I’ve truly enjoyed working with her, and I’ll miss her,” Griesen said. “I’ve worked with Shawntell for about three years now, and we’ve had a close relationship.” He said Hurtgen had accomplished much during her term, especially get ting freshmen involved in ASUN. Thisycar, Hurtgen created the fresh men impact committee, he said, which taught freshmen about ASUN. “That was strictly her idea,” Gricsen said. “It was her idea to identify fresh men in ASUN.” Another idea Griesen especially liked, he said, was having students vote for their favorite instructor dur ing the ASUN election. “Shawntell has been an extremely effective student body president,” he said. “She has shown lots of creativity in the way she came up with solutions to problems.” But through her successes, Hurtgen said, there were still frustrations. Her biggest frustration wasnot hav ing enough time, she said. “Issues constantly come up,” she said. “When I think back, there were so many more organizations that I would have worked with. “I’ve put 40 or 50 hours in a week. This has been a part of my life for a year, but there were more issues that came up that I would have liked to work with.” As her presidency ends, Hurtgen, a senior management major, looks for ward to graduating in August after taking six hours of summer classes. As for after graduation, Hurtgen’s not so sure. “It’s probably the first time in my li fc when I haven’t known exactly what I want to do,” she said. ^B k ^ ; J- ■■ k k L GATEWAY MALL Located in new J.C.
