ASUN finishes up year
By Kasey Kerfaer
Staff Reporter
ASUN will wrap up the semester tonight by
passing legislation honoring two UNL staff
members and looking ahead to next year,
i-1 “It’s surprising how fast
ASUN
the time has gone, said trie
Marintzer, president of the
Association of Students of
the University of Nebraska.
“Yet we still have a lot to
work on.”
ASUN will pass billscom
mending Joan Leitzel, senior
vice chancellor for academic
affairs, and Frank Kuhn, as
cictont f\ irnntr\r F tKa Ma
braska Union, for their years of service to the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The senate also will vote on “plenty of ap
pointments,” Marintzer said, and take time to
look ahead.
Marintzer said this summer he would look
into several issues to act on in the fall, including
the possibility of large increases in student
tuition.
So far this year, he said, the NU Board of
Regents has not addressed possible tuition in
creases, but it probably will sometime in June.
Marintzer, a student member of the Board of
Regents, said he wanted to make sure that
tuition didn’t rise to the point that UNL was no
longer competitive with other low-tuition uni
versities.
“UNL is one of the best bargains there is, and
we need to keep it that way,” Marintzer said.
He said he also hoped to make students more
aware of ASUN and its services.
“There’s an unfortunate stereotype of stu
dent government doing only what it does in 30
minute meetings each week,” Marintzer said. “I
want to change that image by bringing senators
out to meet with students.”
He said one way to accomplish this was by
holding a “meet your senator” day on campus.
Other ideas include expanding the role of the
Freshman Action Committee and continuing
involvement in the Big Red Welcome.
Platform issues also will be examined for the
fall semester.
“Over the summer I plan on looking farther
into a lot of these issues,” Marintzer said. “That
way it will be a lot easier to accomplish them
come fall.”

college women.
“Playboy is a part of free speech,”
Sinclair said. “But, on a college cam
pus, we’re supposed to be broadening
our minds, not getting easy money for
taking our clothes off.”
Although Playboy has not set foot
on UNL’s campus, Berg said she was
upset they were in town.
“The fact that they aren’t on cam
pus is irrelevant,” she said. “They’ve
been after Nebraska students, not oth
ers in Lincoln.”
Mary Beth Chapman, a freshman
art major, came to Tuesday’s protest,
although she had missed Monday’s
because she had a class.
The ad announcing Playboy inter
views should not have appeared in the
DN, Chapman said.
“It sends a message that the univer
sity is supporting this,” she said.
When Playboy visited Waco, Texas,
the home of Baylor University, the
women faced disciplinary actions by
the university for interviewing with
the magazine.
The attention on UNL’s campus
and in the news did not stop UNL
senior Kim Heckman from interview
ing with Playboy on Tuesday.
Wearing a baseball cap, a sweatshirt
and little makeup to the interview,
Heckman said she was the model col
lege student for the magazine.
“I believe I represent all college
students,” she said. “I don’t get all
dressed up to go to class. I usually
wear sweats and a cap.”
Heckman said protesters should
back olT of the Playboy issue because
women were not forced into interview
ing.
“They need to lighten up and real
ize we have freedom of speech,” she
said. “If somebody doesn’t want to
participate, they don’t have to. Play
boy is classy — they don’t exploit
women.”
