EXTRA! EXTRA! election special announces Pogue as president •Clock Tower 78 percent of student body votes Vol. XLIII Union College, Lincoln, Nebr., April 16, 1969 No. 19 students choose Pogue leader of ASB for 1969-70 school year Jerry Pogue, newly chosen ASB president, emphatizet a point of his plat- form during his campaign speech last Friday. ASB president-elect for the 1969-70 school year is Jerry Pogue, this year's ASB associate vice-president. Pogue, a junior theology major from Lincoln, won in the elec- tions held April 14-15. Five major areas were in- cluded in Pogue's winning plat- form. First, Pogue proposes in- troducing new activities. A cam- pus College Bowl, a group to co- ordinate all the clubs and group activities on campus, a "Meet the Press" with the college adminis- trators and faculty, and a Fresh- man Orientation week led by stu- dents are a few of the suggested activities. Pogue would also like to inaug- urate a detailed student file, a "Film of the Month" in the stu- dent center, a tutoring service Roy Orr selected as associate vice, pledges to oppose "waste of funds" and a "Teacher of the Year" award. Improving Saturday night en- tertainment is Pogue's second ob- jective. He would like to see this done by scheduling Saturday night programs to permit other activities before or after the pro- gram, to open the Snack Bar on more Saturday nights and to have more student center pro- grams. Pogue feels a game room, bas- ketball tournaments among the classes, faculty and alumni, and a non-competitive talent pro- gram would also be useful Sat- urday night entertainment. Thirdly, Pogue proposes to im- prove the chapel programs. "I would try to make the programs interesting, original, informative, enlightening and educational," he states. Two ways he proposes to do this is by presenting a variety of topics from well-known speak- ers and by having a town-hall meeting with the student council in session to discuss ASB busi- ness. Special projects are Pogue's fourth area in his platform. These include a new stereo for the student center, portable gym- nasium bleachers, a popcorn popper, donut machine and portable pop machine for re- freshments in the gym, new col- lege signs for the campus, and a refreshment center in the ad- ministration building. The final area on his platform concerns better communications between students and faculty. Pogue feels communications can be improved by taking student- opinion polls, by establishing a suggestion box, by effective use of the Clock Tower and by better informed village students. Roy Orr, sophomore business major, was elected associate vice- president. Campaigning for the position, Orr promised to establish a co- ordinating committee of the chairmen of all the ASB standing committees. The goal of this committee would be to produce more effective cooperation be- tween committees, and to "elim- inate duplication of effort." Orr went on record as opposing any increase in ASB executive officers' salaries. "These officers should be dedicated to serving and the salary should be only secondary," said Orr. He further pledged to actively oppose the "waste of funds" and to support the economical use of "your ASB dues."

Union College students elect Elsie Flemmer to the post of ASB executive vice-president Roy Or^t experience at treasurer of the ASB this year will provide him with first-hand knowledge and be a valuable aitet to him in the position of associate vice-president next year, the office to which UC student! recently elected him by a considerable margin of votes.

She has served on the student council in past years, which she will lead as executive vice-pres- ident. Her main goal during her term of office will be to create student awareness and Involvement in student government. She plans to encourage this enthusiasm by promoting student council meet- ings and publishing agendas. "The students have a right to know where their money goes," she said.
