AUF Faculty Drive To Aid
World University Service
Money from the All Univer
sity Fund (AUF) Faculty
Drivt this year will again be
given to the World University
Service (WUS), according to
Bob Mllligan, AUF president.
The World University Serv
ice is an international organ
ization based on the committ
ment of dedicated individuals
to the Idea of an internation
al student community. It
serves all parts of the world,
with the exception of the
Communist bloc countries.
"Rich students and wealthy
faculty members are hard to
find, but the students In North
America and Europe are far
better oft than those in coun
tries where per capital In
come Is $100 a year or less,"
stated a pamphlet deicrcibing
the service.
"The exlstance of this need
was the basis on which WUS
was formed, and Is still the
baai for the present pro
gram." The first organization
formed to aid students was
the European Student Relief.
It was begun in 1919 to aid
students in the aftermath of
World War I.
In 1928, It was expanded
'Gloomy9 Season Now
Time Of Spiritual Joy
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
Lent, that ominous word
which used to spell 40 days of
rigid fasting, today is viewed
as a time of spiritual renewal
and "joyful fasting, accord
ing to campus ministers.
Lent is the Christian feast
of the preparation time before
Easter. Today it is generally
accepted as a six-week peri
od beginning with the move
able feast of Ash Wednesday.
In the early days of Chris
tianity before the 14th cen.
tury Reformation, Lent was
viewed as a holy time to mor
tify the flesh in preparation
for a sacred Easter Sunday.
Some early Christians f o I
lowed a custom of eating noth
ing at all for 40 hours between
Good Friday afternoon and
Easter Sunday morning. Dur
ing the Middle Ages in Eng
land, it was forbidden, by
both the church and the law
to eat meat, eggs or milk dur
ing the Lenten season.
'Nearly Nonexistent'
Today Lenten fasting is
nearly nonexistent. The Catho
lic Church recently abolished
all fasting restrictions, with
the exception of Ash Wednes
day and Good Friday, ac
cording to Fr. Raymond Hain,
director of the Newman Cen
ter. The effect of the removal
of the fasting restrictions "has
been rather wholesome," he
said.
"We at the Newman Center
have had what seems like a
lot more personal sense of re
sponsibility, since the remov
al of Lenten restrictions," Fr.
Hain noted.
He said that attendance at
Newman Lenten services has
increased considerably in
comparison to previous years.
He said that it would seem
there has been a "sense of
real reawakening for the past
few years," in modern con
ceptions of Lent.
'No Longer Gloomy'
People no longer think of
Lent as a gloomy time, but
as a time for postiuve spiritu
al development on a personal
responsibility basis, Fr. Hain
said. The idea of "giving up
things for Lent went by t h e
way a long time ago," he not
ed. The Rev. Alvin Petersen,
pastor of the Lutheran Stu
dent Chapel, said the Luther
an church views Lent as a
time of a "joyful fast" and a
time to remember the events
commemorated d u r 1 n g the
Easter season.
Participation in Lenten ser
vices at the campus Luther
an chapel "is good", Rev. Pet
ersen said. He explained that
students, "fresh out of homes"
where they regularly attend
ed Lenten services often at
tend out of habit, but that
students who have been on
campus longer attend with the
sense of the "real meaning"
of the Lenten season.
Many Attend Services
There are approximately as
many students attending
week night Lenten sendees as
those attending Sunday morn
ing services, Rev. Peterson
observed.
This Sunday is known to
some churches as "Laetare
Sunday", a time to rejoice
because it Is the fourth Sun
day of the season, and Lent is
half over.
In earlier days, the fourth
Sunday in Lent was called
"Mothering Sunday", because
young girls who were work
ing away from home were
traditionally given this day
off to make a visit home. It
was traditional for them to
take a gift to their mothers on
this visit.
and renamed the Internation
al Student Service (ISS). In
the 1930's it aided refugees
from Germany, Austria and
Czechoslovakia.
During World War II, the
ISS established the World Stu
dent Relief to meet the de
mands caused by the war. An
emergency staff aided stu
dent prisoners of war, intern
ees and refugees. The ISS
supplied books, clothing, and
food.
At the end of the war, the
organization embarked on the
task of reconstructing uni
versity and student life out
of the havoc of the post-war
period.
In 1950, the ISS relief ac
tivities in Europe were sup
plemented by programs of as
sistance cin the Middle East,
Southeast Asia and the Far
East. The name World Uni
versity Service was adopted
at that time.
"WUS has accented as its
duty the helping of those who
are struggling to break the
bonds of mass misery in or
der to help themselves," Mil
ligan noted.

NUProblemsFamiliar
To Outstate Campuses
A look into campus news
papers from around the na
tion and the Midwest reveals
problems and situations simi
lar to those cropping up at
the University.
A familiar note was
sounded recently at the Uni
versity of Colorado. Course
Evaluation question
naires were distributed to stu
dents, and from them "will
Ibe compiled a critical
analyses of professors and
courses," according to the
Colorado Daily.
Other campuses are having
problems with housing.
At the University of Kan
sas, four groups of students
plan to take a door-to-d o o r
sampling to learn the "pub
lic mind concerning fair hous
ing." The aim of the fair
housing campaign is to sup
port freedom of opportunity
in housing.
'Grass-Roots'
At the University of Min
nesota, a delegation has been
formed by students to launch
a "grass roots" project in
Uruguay under the Alliance
for Progress program.
At Kansas State University
the students "have moved
from a period of talking be
hind closed doors about mor
als ... to very open and
frank discussion," according
to Chester Peters, Dean of
Students.
It seems there is no prob
lem in being a student and
married at the same time, at
least at the University of Kan
sas. The Dally Kansan, speak
ing for some 1600 married
students on campus, stated
that "almost anyone can get
married and still go to school
today if he has a little imag
ination and Jcnowhow."
Culture
Culture is the password at
other campuses for the
spring. At Oklahoma State,
a foreign students' exhibition
of arts, crafts and foods
will be held at the Univer
sity. At Iowa State, the an
ttuil spring presentation of
fine arts, entitled "Focus,"
was launched with a modern
dance program.
Expansion of university fa
cilities was also in the lime
light. The State Board of Re
gents has approved plans for
the construction of a $4.8 mil
lion apartment addition for
married students at Iowa
University. At Kansas State,
the emphasis is on recreation,
as the plans for the construc
tion of a new swimming pool
are under consideration by
the Regents.
At Iowa University a con
ference of 60 delegates from
four Iowa campuses will be
held with the theme, "Why
Don't Tbey Listen to Me?"
The "humanistic," problems
facing colleges and universi
ties will be discussed hope
fully to recreate, by the ex
ch a b i e of viewpoints, a
"sense of community."
At Iowa State, 31 students
recently returned from the
annual YMCA seminar, which
included a tour of historic
spots in New York, Pennsyl
vania and the District of Co
lumbia. Student Governors
In university-student rela
tions, at Creighton Univrsity,
the student board of gover
nors voted to request the ad

Research Grant
The University has filed an
application for a $23,950 one
year grant from the U.S. Pub
lic Health Service to make a
study of mental retardation
training-program needs.
Dr. Mark Hobson, graduate
dean, said departments with
programs related to mental
retardation will be studied.
He said objectives will be re
viewed, plans projected, activ
ities evaluated and a broadly
based inter-departmental and
inter-disciplinary program for
professional training in mental
retardation devised.
Hobson credited Lincoln
Sen. Fern Hubbard Orme for
initial work leading to the
University's interest in such
a study.
CARL DAVIDSON . , . mans a SDS information booth in
the Union, one of the activities concerning South Africa
taking place this week and weekend on campus.
SDS Marchers To Picket
Five Lincoln Businesses
Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) is co-sponsoring
a two-and-a-half mile,
two-hour protest march
through downtown Lincoln
Saturday morning.
The Ad Hoc Committee for
Action Against Apartheid, is
also sponsoring the march.
The committee is headed by
Cater Chamblee, instructor of
English.
The marchers will picket
five Lincoln businesses as
part of the SDS South Afri
can Weekend Program. The
busino scs designated as tar
gets of the march, Carl David
son, program coordinator, ex
plained, maintain business in
terests that support the South
African government.
The South African govern
ment's policy, Davidson said,
"can only be described as a
brutal, fascist, racist police
state."
Targets
Targets of the march, he
said, are the Aetna Life In
surance Co., Connecticut Mu
tual Life Insurance Co., Con
tinental Insurance Co. and
Travellers Insurance Co.
The four, Davidson ex
plained, "are major stock
holders in more than one of
eleven consortium banks
which floated a $40 million re
volving credit loan to the gov
ernment of South Africa" in
1960.
The marchers will also
picket the offices of the Inter
national Harvester Corp be
cause, as Davidson said, "In
addition to being a major in
terest in the South African
economy, International Har
vester is helping the govern
ment of South Africa in the
development of nuclear reac
tors."
Parade Permit
Marchers will assemble on
the south steps of the Nebras
ka Union at 9:30 a.m. to re
ceive Instructions for the
march. SDS has obtained a
parade permit from city and
county officials, Davidson
said.
About Z1 to 100 are expected
to participate, he said.
Davidson said the firms in
volved as targets of the pro
test will receive letters noti
fying them of the picketing
and the reasons for it.
Brutality
The five firms, he said, "are
involved in and responsible
for the brutality of the gov
ernment in South Africa.
In this modern world, busi
nesses cannot make decisions
for profits alone," Davidson
said. "At a certain level,
business decisions become
political decisions, whether
the businessmen view it that
way or not. It is In this sense
that we feel that the firms
we will be picketing" are in
volved in the government of
South Africa.
lionize To Speak
On Nazi Origins
A University assistant pro
fessor of history will speak on
the "Intellectual Origins of
Nazi Germany" at a Delta
Phi Alpha meeting Thursday.
Dr. Edward Homze, who is
a specialist in Twentieth Cen
tury German history, will
spealr at 7 p.m. in the Ne
braska Union at the language
honorary' meeting.
A federal court case In Iowa
challenging the higher non
resident tuition charge could
affect .Nebraska students if
the case is carried to the 8th
Circuit Court of Appeals,
according to the University
Law College Dean.
George Clarke, a freshman
law student at the University
of Iowa contends that his
constitutional rights are being
violated by being charged the
higher non-resident tuition.
If Clarke wins his case the
Daily Iowan states, it could
mean that any student over
21 who attends an out-of-state
school for 12 consecutive
months would become a resi
dent of that state and thus
pay tiie lower resident tuition.
Dr. Davia Dow, aean of tne
University Law College, said
be would be "very much sur
prised" to see the court hold
that Clarke's constitutional
rights under the priwilege an
immunities clause (Article 4,
Section w) of the U. S. Con
sttution were being denied.
He noted that the court has
upheld this for many years.
Arguame rosiuon'
However, Dow said he
thinks Clarke "certainly has
an arguable position when he
contends that his constitution
al rights are being violated un
der the equal protection clause
of the 14th Amendment to the
Constitution.
Amendment to the Constitu
tion. Relating the case to Ne
braska Dow said the ruling
would not have any effect In
Nebraska if it goes only as
far as the Iowa District court.
However, be said if the case
were appealed to the 8th
Circuit Court of Appeals, the
ruling would hold for all
states In the 8th Circuit Court
District, which includes
Nebraska.
Dow said that( even then, the
ruling could be stated in a
manner so genere' as not to
have as much effect on this
state.
Factors surrounding non
resident tuition in Nebbraska
are also different, Dow said.
He noted that Nebraska's
limitations are statutory and
Involve all Nebraska colleges,
while the Iowa limitations are
set by the Board of Regents.
He also noted said that Neb
raska requires only 8 months
residency while Iowa requires
12 months.
Non-residents At NU
Dr. Floyd Hoover, registrar,
said that there are 1,874 non
resident students enrolled at
the University. Of these, 580
are married. He was unable
to give the number of non
resident students over 21
years old.
for a non-resident to be
classified as a resident stu
dent, he must live in Nebraska
for six months without joing
to any institution of higher
education.
A girl who was formerly a
non-resident would be classi
fied as a resident .student if
she married a resident
student. However, a Nebraska
girl would lose her resident
status if she married a non
resident. Hoover said that a student
remains a non-resident even
If he pays taxes in the state
or can vote in Nebraska.
Establishes Own Residency
In Iowa if a person is over
21, he establishes his own
residence, explained the Daily
Iowan, but since most stu
dents first enroll In college
before they are 21, they are
classified with the residence
of their parents.
If a student drops out of
school and lives In Iowa for
12 consecutive months, and
then re-enters school, he could
be classified as a resident.
A person under 21 takes the
residence of his parents un
less he can prove emancipa
tion that is, he receives no
support from his parents and
earns his own living. Then he
can establish his own
residence.
Political Parties
Cont. from Page 1, Col. 2
ber of Vox Populi, explained
the plans the party has for
organizing.
Constitution
'If the party is to continue
to function, it needs a con
stitution," he said. "A letter
of intent was formulated
last year, but it was never
followed up. Research has be
gun now to form a constitu
tion complying with the ASUN
regulations."
Gottschalk added that a
constitution weald probably
be completed by the end of
March.
"There are a number of
critical areas to take into ac
count," he said. "They in
clude a cognizant structure,
basis of membership, selec
tion of candidates and a divi
sion of labor that could suc
cessfully support the candid
ates."
'With a lasting structure,"
he countinued, "a party could
remain active wrought the
year and not just at election
time."
Mist Shattuck suggested
other areas of party organiza
tion. "Some points of organiza
tion that could be considered
are a permanent chairman,
who is not a student senator
or an ASUN officer, and a
legislative chairman, who is
a member of Senate," she
said. i

"They could get together
with the rest of the party and
discuss what will be coming
up at the Senate meetings
and therefore avoid having to
table motions for lack of in
formation," she continued.
"Another function It can
perform is to try to bring the
Senate to-the students," she
continued, "through things
like open hearings."
Slating of candidates was
one area of disagreement be
tween Gottschalk and Miss
Shattuck.
Open Slating
Miss Shattuck said that in
her opinion a party should not
slate every position available,
but leave some open for an
other party or candidates
"with ideas of their own that
have merit."
Gottschalk, on the other
hand, said he saw "no reason
why there shouldn't be slat
ing for every position. It is
logically consistent. Why sup
port less than the minimum?"
"There surely are enough
qualified people and I believe
it is another way of broaden
ing the scope of participa
tion," he added.
Both Gottschalk and Miss
Shattuck expressed interest In
the formation of an additional
party on campus.
"It would give students a
choice," said Miss Shattuck.
'it would also allow expres
sion of other issues and al-
from
low candidates to run
more than one party."
"One problem this year was
that there was no opposition
party," said Gottschalk. "A
two-party system makes for
more responsible government.
If Senator X knew his vote
might be criticized by another
group, he would think about
what he was voting for."
Opposition Party?
"I hope that another party
is formed," he continued,
"with a similar structure but
with different views and
ideas."
Other wishes he expressed
included the possibility of a
primary "at least within the
party" and finding the things
"that need doing and then
doing them."
One area In which Gott
schalk said political parties
could prod student govern
ment into "doing something"
was in the area of having the
president and vice president
of ASUN receive a salary:
"enough money so they could
almost drop out of school for
the year in order to effec
tively administer."
