Debaters Examine
Law Enforcement
By Randy Irey
Junior Staff Writer
Should law enforcement a
gencies in the United States
be given greater freedom in
the law enforcement and pros
ecution of crime?
This problem is the topic
for the debating teams in
universities throughout the
United States.
The University's debate
team has fifteen individuals
who spend much of their time
arguing this controversial
subject on debating trips
throughout the country.
No Side Easier
Dr. Donald Olson, who
coaches the team with John
Petelle, stated that no side of
the problem is easier than the
other.
"Teams on both sides have
been winning. However, the
affirmative has the advantage
of being able to take many
sides to the question. This
leaves the negative the job of
being prepared to defend their
case against any attack the
affirmative throws out," Ol
son explained.
Council
Favors
By-Pass
Lincoln City Council mem
bers contacted Tuesday, indi
cated they would favor clos
ing 14th St. through the city
campus.
Plans for the eventual clos
ing of the street, tentatively
planned for 1967, have been
laid out by the Lincoln City
Planning Commission. A 1 1
that remains before the plans
can be initiated is a formal
vote by the City Council.
Lloyd Hinkley, a real estate
dealer and council member,
said he would "definitely be
In favor" of the closing.
John Mason, a Lincoln at
torney on the council, also
said he favors the move.
Another Council member,
John Comstock said, "I don't
want to answer on part of the
Information, I doubt if all of
the possibilities have been
studied and analyzed."
Hinkley and Mason both
said a pedestrian crosswalk
at the corner would not be
feasible.
"I don't think I would fa
vor a pedestrian crosswalk as
long as it (the street) is open
to through traffic because the
traffic needs to be con
trolled," Mason said.

Vernon Jcwett, one of the
varsity debaters, feels the
same way. He said that
neither side is really easier
to argue on that one side is
just as hard as the other.
"Ideally the debater should
have no preference as to
wnicn side he would rather
debate on because he must
be prepared for both sides.
Personally though, I prefer
tne negative side," Jewett
said.
He estimated that a debater
must do five to six hours re
search per week just to keep
up with new information, as
he must be familiar with all
aspects of the problem.
Debate Misunderstood
Cathy Shattuck, vice pres
ident of Delta Sigma Rho-Tau
Kappa Alpha, a national de
bate honorary, explained that
often people don't really un
derstand what a debate is.
She said a debate consists
of the arguements of two
teams of two members each,
who are assigned one side of
a question.
The debate is judged by
instructors of speech or de-
bate coaches. The contestants
are judged on the basis of
their organization, effective
ness of presentation, analysis
of the opposition, refutation of
the opposition, adaptation to
the opposition's arguments
and gene-al overall clarity.
The University is sponsor
ing a national debate tourna
ment on campus, Feb. 24-26.
Competing in the tournament
will be teams from California,
Dartmouth and about sixty
three other schools.

ges
Wednesday is the last day
students can contact the Reg
istrar's office about incorrect
or incomplete grade reports
and still get a revised copy.
Otherwise, Mrs. Darlene
Loewenstein, a supervisor in
the Registrar's office, ex
plained, grade changes that
are reported will not be shown
until the cumulative grade
average comes out after next
semester.
She said that there were
not any more than the usual
number of mechanical m i s
takes on the grade reports.
Changes that the instruc
tors made caused some prob
lems, she said. Some instruc
tors were trying to give
grades from the previous se
mester on the nine-point seal
rather than on the new let
ter system.
In some cases, the p r o b
lem of not receiving grade
reports was because the in
dividual had changed ad
dresses. Those grade reports with
"no report" on them were
because the professor turned
the grades in too late to be
put on the grade reports.
But as far as the conver
sion of the old nine-point
grade scale ,to .the new let
ter system of grading sys
tem, she said there were
"very few problems."

Peace Corp Response 'Disappointing'
The response of University

"disappointing," according to
Ted Woodward, team captain
of the group.

Freshmen
In Honors
Fourteen University fresh
men in agriculture have been
selected to participate in the
College of Agriculture and
Home Economics Honors
Program.
These students, represent
ing the top eight per cent of
the freshman class, are cur
rently enrolled in the first
honors course, "Introduction
to Agricultural Science."
The students are chosen on
the basis of their high school
records, scores on tests such
as the Regents Examination
and the National Merit Board
Examination, and their first
semester college records.
Participation in the program
is voluntary.
"We feel that this is a chal
lenging opportunity, one
which gives high caliber stu
dents the chance to 'stretch'
themselves mentally," said
Dr. Franklin E. Eldridge, di
rector of resident instruction.
The Honors Program at the
Reservations Still Open
For European Flight
From all indications, the
AsUN European Flight pro
gram will "go as planned,"
according to Ed Human of
Van Bloom Tour and Travel
which is the agent for the
flight.
"We have all the confidence
in the world that plans will
continue as scheduled," he
continued. "Seventeen places
are booked to date and the
minimum is only 25. Also, we
have received correspondence
from people out of the city
who are connected with the
University and are interested
in the flight."

that he is hoping for at least
fifty by the end of the week.
"Compared to other schools,
we have had poor response
here." explained woodard.
He thought it was because
Nebraska is too rural and that
the people are not concerned
enough with outside affairs.
Picked
Program
College of Agriculture and
Home Economics is in its
sixth year. According to El
dridge, this program is unique
in that it deals with applied
agriculture. These students
also may participate in hon
ors courses in English and
chemistry.
"In many schools, the 'ag
honors program' merely
means that agriculture stu
dents may be enrolled in'these
liberal arts courses." he said.
"Two classes of agriculture
students have graduated
here," Eldridge said. "We
have considerable pride in
their achievements."
The students who have been
invited to participate in the
program are: John Dearmont,
Craig Dreeszen, Gary Fitch,
Charles Flint, Duane Krajnik,
Dale Lindgren, Donald Merlo,
Virginia Richmond. Judith
Root, Kenneth Snyder. Stan
ley Wallen, LawTence Whited
Jr., Roger Wilson, and Terry

Sen Dave Snyder recently
gave the details of the flight
Cost for the flight Is a maxi
mum of $430 which includes a
chartered train from Lincoln
to Chicago where a Trans
World Airline jet would leave
for London. One-hundred dol
lars must be paid when sign
ing up, with $150 more due
by April 1 and the final $170
due by May 10.
The plane will leave on June
16 and will return on Aug 18.

but not refundable and ma ybe

Business
"Too many people are wor
ried about what they can get
out of the Peace Corps, rath
er than what they can give,"
Woodward stated. He said he
answers questions about the
pay of a volunteer and the
draft status of a Peace Corps
member.
"The volunteers have been
mainly men on this campus,"
said Woodward. He noted that
nationally, more women sign
up, though more men are e
lected. Most of the volunteers
from the University are from
the liberal arts, engineering
and pharmaceutical fields.
The Peace Corps recruiting
team will be stationed in the
nebraska Union North Confer

and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday

Religion
Group
Founded
A new student organization
that may serve to "prepare
the ground for a future de
partment of religion" at the
University has been founded
by Frank Richards
One person attended the or
ganization's first meeting in
the Nebraska Union and two
attended the second.
The organization, original
ly titled Student League
Against Fundamentalism and
Roman Catholicism, submitt
ed a constitution to be ap
proved, but withdrew it later
so that Hie name of the group
could be changed. The new
name, Richards said, will be
the Nebraska Society for the
Promotion of Ancient Near
Eastern Studies.
Richards, a junior in anth
ropology, said the purpose of
the organization would be "to
stimulate active investigation
of the Scriptures by present
ing, discussing and publishing
original studies" of the anci
ent origins of the Bible.
He said he had been urged
to form the organization by
various campus ministers and
by other staff members. He
said the presence of such a
group might demonstrate to
the administration that there
is an interest among the stu
dent body in the establish
ment of a department of reli
gion. Richards said he chose fte
name Students League Again
st Fundamentalism and Ro
man Catholicism to draw at
tention to the group. The
name, however, has not done
this, he said, and ihat is the
reason for the change.
The nature of the group,
Richards stressed, ivould be
a scholarly and intellectual
one.
