Aeiver Dcm Complexes
Offer. Ifef f er Opporf umfy
For Sfudenf Governmenf
By Frank Partsch
Senior Staff Writer
J. Winston Martin, dean of men, told the Residents As
sociation for Men (RAM) Council Monday night that the
addition of the Twin Towers dormitory complex and future
residence halls projects will give students a better oppor
tunity to study dormitory government than ever before in
the history of the University .
"We have excellent research reports that indicate that
students attitudes are formed more in residence units than
in the classrooms," said Martin, "and therefore we have to
provide experiences and environment which will help create
good citizens."
"I don't charge that residence halls have net done this
in the past, but now we have an opportunity to better the
accomplishments we have made in the past."
The dormitory system at the University, although rela
tively new compared with other colleges and universities,
is a fast growing process, said Martin, but the opportunities
which arise are accompanied by problems.
Martin explained that in order to make residence halls
more homey, as well as to improve the effectiveness of dorm
government, the smaller living group is being stressed.
The smaller living unit could be stronger, he continued,
if some sort of continuity were achieved. At the present
time, with the exception of a few students, more residents
do not return to the same group for more than one year.
Houses with more continuity could become stronger through
the development of traditions which endure longer than
one year. '
"The small strong unit," Martin told the Council "should
not take anything away from RAM. I want to have my
cake and eat it too; I want a strong RAM, but we also need
an effective substructure."
Another problem Martin discussed was the methods of
financing residence halls governments. Each hall receives
approximately $4.50 for each student under the present
system.
Martin urged the Council to take on a greater role in
making budget recommendations and suggestions. He in
dicated that the budget structure is now in a formative
stage, and that a satisfactory means of support has not
yet been devised.
"We need a cooperative effort" he said. "There has been
no hard and fast allocation in the past, and each of us has
his own idea of how he would like to see the houses sup
ported in the future."
"Furthermore," he said, "the improvement of residence
hall government would "improve the whole tone of residence
hall living."

Ex-NU Student
With Linkletter
Jim Hendrichs, a former
University student and gradu
ate of Hastings College, is a
member of the Big Three, a
folk singing trio that was fea
tured in the Jack Linkletter
Hootenanny at Pershing last
Friday.
Hendrichs, who was born
in Atkinson, attended summer
sessions at the University in
the summers of 1960 and 1961.
He was teaching music at
Omaha Westside h?gh school
when he met the other mem
bers of the trio. The two
others had recently formed a
duo and were appearing at
the Third Man Coffee House
in Omaha at the same time
that Hendrichs was playing
there. He left Omaha in
March, after teaching there
less than a year.
Other members of the trio
are Cass Elliot and Tim Rose.
The group has appeared a
number of times on the John
ny Carson show, as well as
on the Jack Parr show.

Oregon Sororities Unsure
Of Suspension Requisites
An editorial from The Van
guard, Portland State College
the president's suspension of
their charters several weeks
ago six sororities have
"slipped into an incongruous
and undefined position."
The six sororities on cam
pus were banned because of
alleged discriminatory prac
tices during rush week. The
sororities are no longer recog
nized as college-affiliated
groups; they are no longer
allowed to rush or pledge
girls, and they are not offi
cially allowed to participate
in activities as units. ,
The Vanguard editorial says
that beneath the surface ac
tivities have hardly been
checked by the ban, and it
does not appear that the ad
ministration wants them to
disband as groups or cease
their services.
The administration has al
lowed the sororities to help
during registration as they
have always done, except that
the help is supposed to be
given on an "individual"

Neighbors Drive, again sup
posedly on an "individual
basis." The sororities as such
can receive no credit for their
work.
The annual Red Cross Blood
Drive which has been pro
moted in the past by the sor
orities will again be conducted
with the girls getting indi
vidual credit for their efforts.
The editorial says that the
administration has lent its
tacit approval to the "under
ground operations" by taking
no steps to halt the sororities.
It also says that apparently
the only thing accomplished
by the ban is the elimination
of the organizations' names
from association with that of
the college.
The Vanguard, in the edi
torial, asks for a "solid defi
nition" of the sororities' posi
tion from the administration
to combat the "yes but no"
policy of the present.

Paper Also Topics

By Susan Smithberger i
Senior Staff Writer
G. Robert Ross, vice chan
cellor, and Dick Weill, vice
president of Student Council
clarified the University and
Council policy on student
drinking in a Campus Contro
versies forum Monday after
noon. In answer to the question,
"If student opinion demanded
3.2 beer, should the Student
Council pass a resolution sup
porting it?" Weill said that in
looking at both sides of the
question he would probably
vote against it because of the
unfavorable impression it
would present to the Nebras
ka Legislature.
"We have a greater obliga
tion than to mirror student
opinion," said Weill. "We need
to think of the good of the
University as a whole. I per
sonally believe this latter ob
ligation to be greater." He
reminded students that he
did not run for Student Coun
cil by saying he would repre
sent the students. "To pass a
resolution favoring 3.2 beer
would cause the Legislature
to think we are an irrespon
sible bunch of students."
"There is more than one
method of changing the law,"
pointed out Ross. "Why would
it not be better for students
to talk to their senators them
selves?" "If a group got together
and talked to the law-makers
it would have more effect
than a group with an identity
such as the Council's," said
the vice chancellor.
In speaking on administra
tion's view on College Nights,
Ross said, "I'm not sure
what a college night refers
to, but we reacted to a spe
cific function at Kings held
at the end of the rush period.
The police reported excessive
violation of the law, and we
are concerned with any event
that violates the state's laws.
We feel that any University
function must be within the
framework of existing Uni
versity regulations. If students
feel restricted by the regu
lations, they ought to go to
work to change them."
"In our society, the use of
alcohol is a problem. The so
ciety is not dealing with it
effectively nor are institu
tions. No one would claim
that we have ail the answers.
The problem relates to how
mature the students are. Some
feel that students are mature
enough to make their own
decisions, some don't. We are
not try ing to keep students
from drinking,that is their
own decision.
"In regard to minors, past
records will show that wheth
er or not the minor caught in
possession of alcoholic bev
erage is put on probation is

Gue Gets O'Neill Part
The lead role in the Univer
sity Theatre production "Long

by Eugene O'Neill, has been
recast. "v

judged on an individual basis.
The action is not automatic.
We want students to be aware
of their responsibility to the
law."
A student asked Ross if Ne
braska students were more
or less apathetic than students
at other colleges where he
had been.
"I don't have the feeling
that apathy is a greater prob
lem here than in other c 0 1-
leges. I don't feel that, on
many situations, I have a
clear picture of the student
feeling. However, I wonder if
there is a clear feeling. If
these students are like most
people with the degree of ma
turity they've gained, feelings
change. I do believe that stu
dents, faculty and adminis
tration have more impact
when working together. We
all need to work real hard at
this."
Weill pointed out that in the
past the main problem of the
Student Council was in com
munication with faculty and
administration. "This year,
under Dennis Christie's lead
ership, the problem has been
solved with administration. In
the future faculty communi
cation will be the problem."
He urged individual stu
dents to go in to talk to
administrators about points
they don't understand or poli
cies they disagree with.
"Both Dean Martin and Dean
Ross are easy to talk to. They
may not always agree with
you, but they listen and value
your opinions," said Weill.
When asked about the edi
torial policies of the Daily Ne
braskan, the vice chancellor
said .that he thought the at
tempt to present ideas, ques
tions, positions of controversi
al nature was good.
"I disagree sometimes with
the way this is done and the
lack of facts before it is done,
but this is a personal view.
If I had any great concern,
I would register it with the
Publications Board."
Weill pointed out that stu
dents have a right to pick up
a responsible paper, and if
they personally feel that the
