A# — ASUN from page 1 current party system election process. “We want to know how students feel about this,” Fuchs said. “It’s their election.” ^ • Fuchs said the survey asks stu dents what they see as good and bad about the party system. It also asks students if they feel they know enough about the election process to run for a senate posi tion. Russell said she is looking at the pros and cons of having a party system and having students run on their own. However, the pros and cons to both options are equal, she said. “What’s pro for one system is a con for the other, and vice versa,” Russell said. For example, candidates run ning under the party system have a large pool of resources. Candidates running individually don’t neces sarily have the access to many resources. But as individuals, stu dent support and resources can be created, she said. “The party system makes you work,” Russell said. “But in order to run on your own you must work _1 M uaiu, iuu. Christina Anhalt, a sophomore environmental sociology major, said she thought student govern ment would be able to represent more students if the party system were eliminated. “Without the party system stu dent government would be more inclusive,” Anhalt said. “People besides the greek system would be involved.” Eric Rost, a sophomore mechanical engineering major, said he is not happy with the pre sent party election process but still believes a party system should exist. “Parties need to have a clear, clean-cut direction*” Rost said. “Elections would be confusing if you don’t have set parties.” Rost said by having a party sys tem with set guidelines, students would be able to identify candi dates and their positions on issues. Russell disagrees. “A lot of students don’t care who is elected,” R.ussell said. “Many students vote on party lines without getting to know the issues and the candidates positions.” Fuchs said the Electoral Commission is working to make the election process more simple. Fuchs said that once all surveys are collected and organized, Russell will approach the Electoral Commission with election policy suggestions. The commission will consider all options, including student pro -,-1 posals, and create a set of rules foi the March ASUN election Election regulations would then b< voted on by the Senate, he said. A town hall meeting will b< held to discuss the issue at 9:3( p.m. Tuesday in the Neihard Residence Center blue lounge.

The computers are no longer there. In an effort to keep room and board fees down, outdated commu nity computers were removed from all but the top two floors of both buildings. Cather and Pound had previously been the only residence halls on campus with computers on each floor. Students affected by the change have mixed reactions. ' ^ ; V Alyson Stein, a junior English major and Cather resident, was against the removal of the commu nity computers. “The computers were outdated, but the Microsoft Word was effi cient enough to write a paper,” she said. Stein also said she wondered where the laser printers went that had been in each floor’s computer room. Doug Zatechka, director of housing, said most of the laser printers were becoming obsolete, and the few that were working were spread throughout other computer labs. Glenn Gray, Cather, Pound and Neihardt residence director, said housing administrators knew last year either the computers would need to be replaced or the labs would need to be closed. “A year ago we faced the reality that the existing labs were becom ing very obsolete,” Gray said. Gray said it would cost between $20,000 and $100,000 to update the labs. Students would have paid for the updates with their room and board fees. “We would have been faced with an astonishing amount,” Gray said. . Students still have access to a 24-hour computer lab on the first floor food service building between Cather, Pound and Neihardt residence halls. Neihardt also has a lab that contains 18 com puters. The total of 42 computers pro vides one computer for every nine students in the complex. Gray said his goal was to get 50 computers in the lab, which would lower the student-to-computer ratio by one. “Our goal was to provide computer services to students without computers while keeping room and board rates down,” he said. Gray said he had only one com plaint about the lab closings. ; Eric Kettenburg, a senior news editorial major and Pound resident said he didn’t see the removal of th< computers as a big deal. “The computers were getting old and outdated. They would loci up and crash a lot,” he said. Gray said the amount of com plaints he has received might echc students’ sentiments. “At this time last year, I hac close to 50 complaints because ol problems with computers.” WIIWAIMUA/AM) MAU ABHUIBH MV) Xt/UV H X/OlUl AlCUliWIOnXUt ■ X AUB V Any Lunch or Dinner witli drink (Not valid with any other offer.)
