government this semester,” Ruwe said
“It has given many, many new and
older students an opportunity in which
they can get involved, and also an
opportunity to find out more about
other organizations.”
Other goals ASUN members said
they met this semester include:
H Committee for Fees Allocation
Chairman Kendall Swenson said he
tried to increase awareness of his sub
committee’s purpose by visiting stu
dent organizations. He said he also
tried to gather student input into the
fees allocation process; although he
said students would have more chance
to express their opinions in January
when his committee began making its
budget.
Academic Committee Chairman
Erik Hoegemeyer said his committee’s
main project this semester dealt with
academic advising.
He said letters were sent to every
college inquiring about their academic
advising policies. The Academic
Committee, along with SIT, surveyed
advisory boards of the colleges that
have one, and students about their col
lege’s advising policies.
Hoeeemever said the committee
would analyze the survey data and pre
sent the results to the university com
munity soon after winter semester
begins.
“We want to focus on what is posi
tive, and if there are points where stu
dents have concerns, we want to work
on them,” Hoegemeyer said. Ruwe
said he also would push for the imple
mentation a university wide teaching
evaluation next semester.
■ Campus Life Committee mem
ber Adam Anderson said his commit
tee would finish its proposal for a park
ing education class next semester. The
class would allow students to pay a
small fee to take a class in place of pay
ing their entire parking ticket.
Anderson said the committee met
with the Parking Advisory Board and
If... students have
concerns, we want to
work on them. ”
CurtRuwe
ASUN president
Parking Services Director Tad
McDowell to discuss the plan. The
parking board and McDowell were
concerned with how the class would
affect their revenue, Anderson said,
which caused his committee to re
examine its plan, do more research,
and draft a new proposal, which the
board will review next semester.
■ Government Liaison Committee
Chairman John Wiechmann said he
would continue to press the Mayor
Mike Johanns’ office for action on
promised changes for “dangerous”
crosswalks.
Flashing yellow lights are sched
uled to be installed at the crosswalk in
front of the Campus Recreation Center
and also in front of Henzlik Hall.
He said his committee would con
tinue research on the Lincoln city ordi
nance that forbids more than three peo
ple living together in one house.
Wiechmann said he hoped to have both
the stoplights and the ordinance pro
jects completed by February.
Ruwe said February was next
semester’s only full month his adminis
tration had to accomplish the rest of
their goals.
He said with winter break cutting
into January and ASUN elections in
March, a “limited amount of stuff
cou&getdorie.”
However, Ruwe said senators
would continue their involvement
“outside (ASUN’s) office walls.”
“We really want to make sure to
keep our ears open and fairly and accu
rately represent the students.”
