Special elections turnout low Less than 150 students vote By PAUL P ETERSON The Lumbeijack A low number o f participants at recent NAU elections would point to voter apathy as a problem among students. There was a low turnout for the Associated Students o f NAU elections Tuesday. All together, aboutl 50 NAU stu-den ts voted for their student body officials, Mark Davis, ASNAU President, said. Bobby McGee, election commissioner said voter turnout is usually better. * “These were special elections. That was the reason that the turn out was so low,” McGee said. McGee said that more advertising could also help to get more voters. Lore Haller, freshman business major, said the reason she didn't vote was because she didn’t know anything about the candidates. “I didn’t know who, what or where,” Haller said. Haller said she thought ASNAU isn’t very publicized and students don’t know much about what they are doing. Joanne Toney, freshman in tema-tional business major, said “I didn’t even know they (elections) were going on." Along with the low voter turnout, ASNAU had a low candidate turnout According to information provided by ASNAU, only 2 of the 7 open offices had more than one candidate running to be elected. The new ASNAU Senator for the College o f Social and Behavioral Sciences is Spring Naylor. Senator for the College o f Hotel and Restaurant Management is Laura Frock. Senator for the College o f Ecosystems Management is Brandon Harper. The new Senator for the College o f Communications, Leslee Dera-hain. New senators-at-large are Rebecca Frampton and Craig Harris. The offices o f Senator for the College o f the Arts and Sciences and Senator for the College o f the Performing Arts had no candidates running. Rerwyn Hawkins1 name was written in on the ballet for the College o f Arts and Sciences senator and Brian O ’Neil’s name was written in for College o f Perfoming Arts senator. Both Hawkins and O ’ Neil received the majority o f votes in their respective colleges. Both candidates still must collect the required number o f signatures before they can take office. “I knew about theelecdons, I just didn’ t get involved,” Dana Robertson, freshman business major, said. Robertson said she thought ASNAU tries to make things such as elections publicized. “I just think that it is really hard to get college students involved,” she said. Banji Neply, sophomore elementary education major, votes during Tuesday's special elections for open ASNAU senator-at-large positions. Rebecca Frampton and Craig Harris won the two open seats. Evaluations ready By TRAC IE W ILLIAM S The Lumberjack After a 23 year process, the faculty senate has approved the publication o f course/faculty evaluations. W hen published, results, will appear as percentages o f student opinions and results will be divided by course and faculty member so students can find information quickly. Between 15 and 20 faculty senate members have volunteered their classes to be used to pilot the program throughout the next three weeks, Mark Davis, president o f the Associated Students of NAU, said. Studen ts in these classes will answer questions and their results will be tallied and brought back to them. They will be asked if they thought the questions they were asked would be helpfiil in future courses. Students will also be asked if they thought the questions tvould have been beneficial to them prior to beginning or registering for the course, Davis said. Davis said the student response on the publication o f course/faculty evaluations was overwhelming. “It (the publication o f evaluations) will help the students to find instructors who teach according to the way students learn," Kory Mildenberger, sophomore chemtetrv major, said- ■**' Costs are not a forseen problem with publication. “We*re not looking for it to cost anything to students ... 1 think we can do it (offer published evaluations for firee) by budgeting very closely," Davis said. If it is necessary for a fee to be incorporated in the beginning stages o f the program, students will notbe charged more than the cost o f printing, Davis said. Evaluation s will initially be published on hard copy, but Davis hopes to have evaluations available on the LOUIE system or through the NAU homepage. “It’s great that we’re finally' getting done with a 23 year saga ... I just hope student government executives will help get them published next year," Brian Davidson, vice president o f student affairs, said. NAU lacks parking By THERESA CURRY The Lumbeijack One o f N A U ’s favorite recre- - ation *pots may be lost in an effort to create more parking spaces on north campus. The field located outside the Wall Aquatic Center, often referred to as the Natatorium field, is one o f several options being considered for a new parking lo t David Lorenz, director o f university services, said with the new Biology/ Chemistry centennial building coming in, some parking changes need to be made. He said the building will cause a loss o f 175 parking spaces, 128 where the building will be and 28 on the road. He said using the Natatorium field for parking is just being considered. Other options include using only half the field in an effort to compromise with those who want to keep i t “We’re interested in where people are going to park. That’s what this whole-discussion is about; what are the options?" Lorenz said. Lonn Dunphy, senior history and secondary education major, is on the Parking and Traffic Advisory Council, an elected and appointed group that studies issues o f this type. He said the feedback they've received regarding die prospect o f losing the field is negative. “J hope personally it doesn ’t happen," Dunphy said. “It’s a useful field, as well as aesthetically pleasing." Intramural sports are played on the field. The field serves many other purposes. For example, during the winter, students use the field to play football in the snow.

"If you add up all the registered families of the four parishes there is 1,600 and thane's about 2,400 at the university.
