Student
Files For
Office
Franz H. Penner, a 38 year
old University student, an
nounced that he filed Monday
to run for the Nebraska Legis
lature from the 34th District.
Penner has attended the
University as a pre-law stu
dent for the past two semes
ters, but Is not currently en
rolled in order 'i facilitate
his political interests and be
cause of financial reasons.
Penner's main reason for
running for the Legislature is
dissatisfaction with the pres
ent tax system and the fact
that "people should be getting
their money's worth from the
tax dollar."
"We need a complete over
haul of the tax base," Penner
explained, "and we need to
close down the loop holes
in the system." He advocates
an income, property, and
sales tax program.
"I am also concerned by
the great disparity in salaries
here at the University," Pen
ner added. "The salaries are
raised for the top brass, but
what about the rank and file
teachers?"
"Our better teachers are
leaving the University for a
salary ten times as large in
New York," Penner stated.
Penner said that one in
stance of the waste of state
funds is evident in the buy
ing and restoration of the Ken
nard House in Lincoln. He be
lieves that the city should be
paying for it, since it is actu
ally the city's concern.
Penner describes his occu
pation as farming. He has
served two terms as justice
of the peace in Aurora. He is
currently serving on the
Hamilton County Central
Committee of the Democra
tic Party and is executive
secretary of the Nebraska
Council on Family Law.
He is a Nebraska repre
sentative for the United States
Divorce Reform and during
two sessions of Legislature,
Penner worked as a lobbyist
on behalf of personal inter
ests. YDtoHost

contest in years.

Collecting 3.500 empty pop
bottles, taking in laundry
and selling cookies is the
way four University fresh
men coeds hope to pay their
way to Colorado over spring
vacation.
The whole plan was con
ceived last week on a lonely
Tuesday night as Ruth
Brock, Sherye Nelson, Deb
bie O'Dell and Joan Wagoner
decided it was imperative to
earn S70 for the trek to
Colorado.
' We never go out on week
ends." said Miss Brock, "so
we decided it was Colorado
or bust."
The four determined girls
have collated in less than a
week 1,236 empty pop bottles
which they store in the for
mal storage closet on sec
ond floor Raymond Hall.
"It's a humanitarian ef
fort, "stated Miss Nelson in
speaking of the bottle col

Officials To Review
The ASUN public issues
committee is awaiting Univer
sity decisions on its proposals
regarding foreign student
housing before presenting
them before the Lincoln City
Council, according to Terry
Schaaf. chairman of the ASUN
public issues committee.
The Student Senate passed
a series of five proposals re
garding foreign student hous
ing, two of which concerned
the City Council to secure min
imum housing standards for
rental housing.
"We are waiting to find out
exactly how to present our
proposal before the Council,"
Schaaf noted. "It's going to
take a little time to settle.
Also we want to be able to
tell them just what the Uni
versity is doing about the
housing problem and we
have to wait until they de
cide." City Council
Three members of the Lin
coln City Council told the
Daily Nebraskan that the
City Council could enact min
imum housing standard codes
by ordinance if they so de
sired and were presently in
the process of considering
them.
"The Council could qss an
ordinance establishing a min
imum standard code," said
City Councilman John Sal-

Those empty bottles just
clutter up the rooms."
"We began our pilgrim
age," Miss Brock continued,
' bv hitting them with the
old line." The plea for bot
tles from residents includes,
in the final scene, Miss
Brock begging on hands and
knees while crying real tears.
"We haven't hit Selleck
yet and we have three floors
left in Pound," said Miss
Brock. In one hour in the
lobby of Abel, the girls col
lected 200 bottles by corner
ing the residents as they
stepped off the elevator.
"The boys in Abel are
very generous," stated Miss
Wagoner.
"But the tightwads in
Cather won't contribute to
the cause," Miss Brock com
mented. "However, we are
planning to take a wheel
barrow over to Cather on
March 11 when they have
open house. The place is a
veritable gold mine!"

cil does have the power to
destroy dangerous property."
He added that be does not
favor passage of a retroac
tive housing ordinance if It
would mean "sweeping out
areas where people may be
satisfied with older homes
that might not meet require
ments. Lloyd Hinkley said, "The
Council has already spent
some time investigating ex
isting housing ordinances and
thinking how they should be
changed. The controversy
centers on whether or not
any changes should be retro
active to include older homes.
Housing Code
He added that he was in
favor of having a code to ap
ply' to buildings completed
before the ordinance would
be enacted.
"It's my guess that the
question will be before the
Council within 30 to 60 days,"
he continued.
John Com stock said the
Council "has been working
on a code that would aply
to both old and new build
ings." He continued that, although
he was not sure where the
plans stand at present, in
formal hearings had been
held concerning minimum
housing codes.

The girls have encountered
some trouble in returning
the bottles. Last week they
took six hundred empties to
a grocery store. They loaded
seven shopping carts with
bottles and were taking them
into the store when the last
cart, manned by Miss Brock
and Miss Wagoner hit a
bump. Fifty bottles tumbled
over the "entrance to the
store.
"We cried, the manager
cried and the customers
laughed," said Miss Brock.
"Fortunately only six bot
tles were broken, in the ac
cident," Miss Wagoner
stated.
The store manager suggest
ed in the future that they
bring in only 500 bottles at a
time. The manager offered
the girls jobs as temporary
cashiers in sympathy for their
cause.
Other jobs taken on in the
pursuit of the $70 goal include

Housing
"The question has been
pushed aside for a time by
the enactment of the build
ing code," he added, "which
applies to new buildings but
which we felt took partial
care of a minimum housing
problem."
Proposals
Proposals made to the Uni
versity asked the Foreign
Student Housing Office to
send foreign students re
questing admission an infor
mative, realistic pamphlet on
the availability of nousing
and housing conditions and
also requested the Housing
Office to reserve a preJeter
mined number of rooms in
the dorms for international
6tudents.
The resolutions came as a
result of a four-month study
by the public issues com
mittee. Schaaf's report pointed out
that foreign student bousing
Is often substandard and that
foreign students receives a
less - than desirable view of
American life because of the
poor bousing and discrimi
nation they are unprepared
to face.
Besides Schaaf, other mem
bers of the public issues com
mittee are Bob Lott, Kris
Bitner, Cuz Guenzel, Nan
Webster, Liz Ma dole, Darryl
Gless and Mary Baker.
