KEG strives to increase representation
By Kasey Berber
Staff Reporter
Better representation.
It’s the primary concern of the
KEG party, whose seven representa
tives will run
against the AD
VANCE party in
the March ASUN
election.
KEG presi
dential candidate
Scott Brauer said
the current Asso
ciation of Stu
dents of the Uni
versity of Ne- _
braska is not a **rauer
true representation of the student
body.
Brauer described this lack of rep
resentation with an analogy.
“I think they’ve become disembod
ied from the student body — like a
floating head,” Brauer said. “We want
to reattach the head to the body.”
But Brauer has solutions to the
problem, such as having contacts on
every floor of the residence halls.
These representatives would not be
required to attend ASUN meetings,
Brauer said, but would be valuable
contacts for addressing the concerns
of students who are sometimes over
looked by student government.
Ben Poole, the KEG campaign
manager, said the system of contacts
would be valuable.
“It’s a chance for students who are
interested in government to get in
volved without making a large com
mitment,” Poole said.
Another platform plank of the KEG
party is administrative accountability.
Brauer cited the recent loss of student
parking to build a parking garage as
an example.
“A lot of people didn’t know about
that until they showed up one mom
ing and found they couldn’t park
there,” Brauer said.
To hold administrators account
able, Brauer said he would like to see
advisory boards expanded to include
more student representatives.
Election participation is another
focus of the KEG party.
“We think it’s ASUN’s duty to
decrease voter apathy,” Brauer said.
“People should be encouraged to ex
press their views.”
Brauer pointed out that less than
10 percent of the student population
voted in the last ASUN election.
“If the students show up, we’ll
be happy,” Brauer said. “It would
show that we’ve made them think.”
Brauer said he also is looking
forward to the upcoming debates.
“I want a friendly conversation,”
Brauer said. “I’m sure we can have
a calm, rational discussion about the
issues.”

ADVANCE banking on experience

Experience.
VANCE party, according to presiden
tial candidate Curt
Ruwe.
Ruwe said his
party is made up of
ASUN officers
who have been
leaders before and
know how to get
the job done.
Ruwe, current
speaker of the sen
ate for the Associa- rUW0
tion of Students of
the University of Nebraska, said he was
not fully confident of his entrance into
the ASUN election until officers Amy
Rager and Malcolm Kass became his
running mates.
Rager, running for first vice presi
dent, is currently the Campus Life
Committee chairwoman fqr ASUN
and served as a Government Liaison

Committee lobbyist last year.
Kass, running for second vice presi
~#ent, has been part of AS UN sinams
freshman year. He has served as the head
of the Committee of Fees Allocation and
is now the GLC chairman.
“They made it certain,” Ruwe said.
‘They’re strong .candidates.”
But beyond the experience of its
candidates, Ruwe said ADVANCE’S
attention to student concerns is vital.
One such issue is technology.
Ruwe said UNL needs to invest in
new and better technology. He said
students could be offered their own
free World Wide Web pages through
the university to further the use of tech
nology.
He also advocated the establish
ment of a computer lab on East Cam
pus similar to die one in the Nebraska
Union.
Racial tension and diversity have
also become issues for ADVANCE.
“It’s always been provided on this
campus that you can learn as much as
you want to about racism,” Ruwe said,
“but now it’s come to the point where
something must be done instead.”
Other issues Ruwe discussed in
cluded opposing policies reducing
parking, shifting appointment power
from the ASUN president to the ap
pointments board and requiring the
Freshman Action Committee president
to be an ASUN senator.
ADVANCE also is concerned
about the cost of building renovations
that will occur in the next five years.
“We think the money should come
from legislation and donations,” Ruwe
said. “It shouldn’t be a burden on the
students. We pay enough to go here.”
Ruwe said he is looking forward
to the upcoming debates.
“I want the debates to remain is
sue-based,” Ruwe said. “There are no
secrets or strategies. We just want to
go out there and let students know why
they should vote for ADVANCE.”

A recommended change in a
shuttle route would save wear and tear
on buses at the University of Ne
braska-Lincoln, the Parking Advisory
Committee decided Tuesday.
The route change would move
the bus shelter on the city campus
loop near Oldfather Hall down the
block next to Morrill Hall over the
summer. The concern is that the
rough condition of the brick road in
the loop may affect the condition of
the shuttle buses.
“We have justpurchased a new bus,
and we want it to last as long as pos
sible,” Tad McDowell, parking man
ager, said. “The condition of the loop
is bad on the buses.”
McDowell said the change may
upset some students, but it is actually
for the best.
“Some students may have to walk
a little farther, but if the bus is not in
the loop, the schedule of the bus won’t
get delayed with traffic blocking it in,”
McDowell said.
The committee also talked about
complaints it has received about a
parking lot by Burr Residence Hall on
East Campus. The lot was changed
from strictly residence hall parking to
combined commuter and residence
hall parking last summer.
“These spaces have created more
frustration for students than conve
nience,” McDowell said. “They draw
a lot of traffic into that area for not a
lot of parking.”
Parking Services will revert the lot
to residence hall parking this summer.
The committee also voted to clas
sify all residence hall parking lots the
same next year.
For convenience, students with a
residence hall parking permit will be
able to park in any residence hall lot.
Now, students can only park in the lot
of the residence hall in which they
live.
Bill Schellpeper, a committee
member who also represents the As
sociation of Students of the University
of Nebraska, said many students called
him about the preliminary idea of a
one-mile radius parking restriction.
At parking advisory meetings last
month, committee members talked
about banning parking permits for stu
dents who live within a mile of the
campus bell tower.
Schellpeper said he had received
many calls from concerned students
wondering if the. idea was actually
going to go into effect soon.
McDowell said the idea was only
preliminary and it hadn’t been consid
ered as a possibility yet.
“Until we are further along in the
discussion of the issue, we don’t re
ally know what the solution is going
to be,” McDowell said.
