Delta Upsilon
Hears Talk
By Candidate
Legislative candidate Law
. son Chadwick questioned the
nonpartisanship of his oppon
ent, State Senator Marvin
Stromer, in an appearance
before the Delta Upsilon fra
ternity Monday.
Chadwick said hat the
only public pronouncements
about or from Stromer since
his announcement of his can
didacy have been (1) his pub
lic endorsement of Republi
can Richard Nixon for presi
dent; and (2) the "pat on the
back" for Stromer from Re
publican National Committee
man Donald Ross, which was
encouraged by Stromer's part
in establishing a law that the
public no longer has the right
to vote for delegates at large
to national poetical conven
tions. "Stromer has always been
a partisan politician," Chad
wick said, "but his activity
this week has been a dis
grace to his oath of office to
remain impartial, since it is
now obvious his vote on the
national convention issue was
prompted by a desire to ap
pease political bosses within
. the GOP."
The legislative hopeful said
that any candidate has a right
I to be a member of a political
part "but if he holds a non
partisan office and breaks
faith with the people in his
district, that is a matter of
principle and no compromise
can be justified."

AUF ON S
Student Council yesterday
indirectly reaffirmed the de
sirability of the present sys
tem of organizational repre
sentatives. The Council passed a mo
tion by Jim Baer, representa
tion chairman, proposing a
constitutional amend
ment which would allow the
seating of a representative
from All University Fund
(AUF) and defeated another
motion by Baer to remove
the Council on Religion (COR)
delegate. The AUF proposal
will appear on the spring bal
lot. Discussion on both motions
centered around the bases for
admitting an organization to
the Council.
Baer introduced John Lonn
quist, president of AUF, who
explained the organization's
reasons for requesting repre
sentation. He said that or
ganizational represen
tatives were admitted to the
Council in the 50's and that
AUF satisfys the criteria un
der which the first organiza
tions were seated'
AUF, he continued, is an
important campus organiza
tion. He listed public relations
and wide student and faculty
coverage as indications of the
prestige and importance of
the group.
Lonnquist noted that the
number of organizations rep
resented on Council has risen,

YD's Will Hear
Roman Pucinski
Congressman Roman Pucin
ski of Illinois will be the fea
tured speaker at the April 18
evening banquet of the Young
Democratic Clubs of Nebras
ka biennial convention, to be
held at the Prom-Diplomat in
Omaha.
Pucinski, who is a three
term Chicago Democrat, is a
member of the House Com
mittee on Education and La
bor and is chairman of the
Subcommittee on the Nation
al Labor Relations Board.
He served as chief investi
gator for the select commit
tee of Congress which inves
tigated the mass murder of
15,000 allied army officers in
World War II.
During World ft'ar II, Pu
cinski led his Air Force bom
ber group in the first B-29
bombing raid over Tokyo in
1944. He flew 48 more mis
sions over Japan, earning the
Distinguished Flying Cross
and Air Medal with Clusters.
He was staff reporter and
writer for the CHICAGO

before being elected to Con
gress. The 6:30 p.m. banquet will
be followed by the Conven

de-emphasizing the move to
abolish that type of represen
tation. "You are moving the
other way," he said.
In the discussion following
Lonnquist's speech, Dave
Smith said that the quality
of organizational representa
tives makes them valuable to
the Council. "We should dis
cuss our problems responsi
bly, intelligently, coherently.
AUF is a high class organiza
tion and maintains the dignity
we require" he said, "and the
Council can always use an
other good head."
"If you want a good head,
you should go to the Phi Beta
Kappas," said Denny Swan
strom, representative of Corn
cobs, in answer to Smith.
"Corncobs do a job that ac
tually affects student welfare.
The only time I ever see AUF
is once or twice a year when
they come around for a cou
ple of dollars."
Gary Oye defended the or
ganization, saying that where
charity money from the stu
dents and faculty is sent is
just as important as the ac
tivities of a pep organization.
Doug Thorn and Karen Bent
ing agreed that AUF deserved
a seat on the Council under
the present system, but both
sympathized that they were
against the idea of organiza
tional representation.
Those voting against the mo
tion were Thorn, Swanstrom,
Miss Benting, Mike Barton
and Bobby Kotecha.
In reintroducing the motion
to remove the COR delegate
Baer explained that the rep
resentation committee was
guided by two basic ideas in
making its recommendation:
the idea of a state above a
church group and the effect
iveness of the organization of
the COR itself.
Joann Stratemann denied
that the COR is representa
tive of any church group or
religious philosophy. "Many
of you don't know much about
the COR. The church groups
hold a lot of important pur
poses to a number of stu
dents," she said.
Miss Stratemann cited a
proposed student poll on relig
ious attitudes of students and
the planning of a student con
vocation next year, as well as
social activities, foreign stu

Buzz Brashear contended
that the presence of a COR

The title of his lecture se

series describes 1400 books in
his private library which he
considers indispensable in his
lecturing and teaching.
Shapiro's first lecture is ti

Viewed Locally
The first remote telecast
from the Sheldon Memorial
Art Gallery using new per
manently installed equipment
was viewed yesterday on
KUON-TV.
The special program f e a
tured Norman Geske, direc
tor of the University Art Gal
leries, who conducted a pre
view tour of the Nebraska Art
Association's 73rd annual ex
hibition. The exhibition is open
to the public through May 3.
This is the first of a series
of programs which will origi
nate from the Sheldon Gal
lery, according to Ron Hull
KUON-TV program director.
During April two other pro
grams will be presented from
the gallery. "Shakespeare on
the Plains" will be shown on
April 9, 16, 23 and 30 at 8 p.m.
On April 30 at 9 p.m. Dr. Lar

music will give a piano re
cital. ner, Dr. John Robinson and
Miss Bernice Slote.
The four readers will ap
pear in formal dress but with
no stage props. They will
speak passages from famous
speeches, short scenes, lyrics
and several poems and songs.
Knoll explained that a num
ber of unconventional features
of the program will include
the use of dramatic lighting,
movement, groupings and
voice contrast.
"The passages will be ar
ranged to suggest dramatic
"a vestigial organ left over
from the 50's."
Miss Stratemann maintained
that COR meets the standards
of organizational representa.
tion through the work done In
the student welfare and social
areas. "I won't say that a
vote against the Council on
Religion is a vote against God,
but I think we can justify our
presence here under the crit
eria listed by Jim Baer."
Continued COR representa
tion on Council was granted
when the motion was de
feated.
Mary Morrow gave a brie!
explanation of the work of
the recreation committee, of
which she is chairman. She
said that the committee is
working towards the develop
ment of student recreational
areas to "keep students off
the streets," and mentioned
an ice skating rink and a
sports mall as some of the
projects under consideration.

Tryouts will be held this
year for all women's singing
groups participating in the
Ivy Day Sing, according to
Di Kosman, Associated Wom

Only twelve groups will

time needed for all of the
groups to perform. The par

22 women's living units who
have entered the Sing. This is
the first time the elimination
has been used.
Because of schedule con
