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

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.

Computers removed from halls
By Josh Nichols
Staff writer
Students needing to use a com
puter this year in Cather and Pound
residence halls will not be able step
out of their rooms and use the
floor's computers.
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.”
