THE ROLE OF ASUN Several days, before President Reagan vis ited the university, officials approached the officers of ASUN for help with the visit. ASUN was approached because that was the quickest, easiest way to reach a large number of students. The GOP and the uni- versity administration asked ASUN to help decorate the quad and distribute tickets. It sounded easy, but it turned out to be a lot of work. The GOP and administration also wanted the university students to include the visit in their Homecoming activities. They felt that with all the enthusiasm for home- coming, including the students would be the best way to make President Reagan feel welcome. ASUN had the manpower, the facilities, and the resources to put on a good show. The Sagebrush was also the best way to inform the students. For the journalism students President Reagan ' s visit was a fantastic educational experience. Sagebrush reporters were given press passes which entitled them to be right up front with the national press corps. Because the speech was given on campus the Sagebrush had almost exclusive local coverage in many ways. The ASUN was also in charge of getting a present for the President. They had a special sweatshirt made for him. It was UNR blue with Nevada Homecoming 1982 on the front and Reagan in ' 84 on the back. ASUN was in charge of coordinating all stu- dent involvement, from money to manpower. Un- der the direction of ASUN posters were painted, napkins stuffed through chicken wire, and balloons blown up. These posters and balloons were used in two ways. The posters aided in security by blocking the view of the President from the sides, and the balloons added bright spots of color for national TV. Sororities and fraternities painted dozens of posters which were given to different groups throughout the crowd. Part of the reason ASUN ended up doing so much work was because they got permission to include the Homecoming Queen and Ugly Man candidates at the speech. ASUN also paid for the decorations on the quad, and also purchased gifts for all one hundred members of the press corps. 12,000 to 14,000 people attended the speech. ASUN and ASUN organization DOGS, Inc. sold souvenir scarves at the speech and in the student union. Lincoln Hall and Delta Sigma Pi were also especially helpful in preparing for the President ' s visit. President Reagan appreciated his warm Nevada welcome. He commented many times on the beautiful country and the enthusiastic crowd. Later at Rancho San Rafel the President mentioned how pleased he had been with his visit. ASUN officials were equally pleased. Despite a some- what hectic planning schedule, their welcome went off without a hitch. Special thanks goes to Homecoming Chair- woman Laura Allen, who did so much in making this Home- coming the one to remember.
