Residence Halls Defeat
Proposed Government
Residents of the University
dormitories defeated a con
stitution for a proposed Inter
dorm Council by a 6-4 vote in
elections Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday.
In order to be ratified the
constitution would have had
to be approved by a majority
of the residents voting in two
thirds of the University resi
dence halls. Seven dorms
were needed to approve the
constitution for final ratifica
tion. Abel Hall, Women's Resi
dence Hall, Burr East, Burr
West, Love Memorial and
Fedde Hall residents disap
proved the Interdorm Council
constitution.

Coed Confined To Dorm;
ASUN Hears Complaint
The student Senate dis
cussed Wednesday afternoon
the problem of a University
coed who has been refused
permission to move out of a
University living unit.
The problem was presented
by Sen. Dave Snyder. He ex
plained the problem as f o 1
lows: the girl wanted to move
out of the dormitory because
she did not have enough mon
ey to pay her board and room
for the next month.
She transferred this semes
ter from Nebraska Wesly
an University where she had
lived for one year in a dor
mitory and two years in a
sorority. She is a second se
mester junior.
Snyder explained that the
21-year-old student went to
Helen Snyder, associate Dean
of Student Affairs and re
quested that she be granted
permission to move out of the
dormitory, an action which
had her parents' approval.
"Dean Snyder said that she
couldn't move out because
the experience of group liv
ing is valuable in achieving
a total education," Snyder
said.
Snyder continued, saying
that the girl went in turn to
G. Robert Ross, Dean of Stu
dent Affairs, requesting per
mission for the same action.
"Dean Ross went through
all the University handbooks
and could find nothing to for
bid the girl from moving out,
except a statement saying
that students have to live in a
dormitory, sorority, or Uni
versity approved housing,"
Snyder stated.
"Dean Ross then found a
by-law of the Regents that
says that University women
must live in the dormitory or
sorority housing unless
granted approval to do other
wise by the Dean of Women,"
he continued.
There is no reason why
she should have to quit school
because she can not afford
to live in the dormitory, Sny
der stressed.
"She was then asked if she
could obtain a loan enabling
her to pay for her housing.
I personally feel that a stu
dent should not have to go

Pound HaM and Selleck resi
dents approved the constitu
tion. East campus dorms had the
largest turnout of voters. Burr
East reported that 75 per cent
of its residents voted.
On the city campus, Cather
and Women's Residence Halls
each reported 69 per cent of
the residents voted. Over
half, 55 per cent, of Pound
Hall residents voted.
Abel Hall voters totalled 49
per cent of the residents, Sel
leck had 40 per cent voting
and Sandoz had 29 per cent of
the residents voting.
The constitution had been
written by the Interdorm Co
ordinating Committee (IDCC)
which began meeting last
into debt esepcially if she can
find cheaper housing else
where in order to stay in
school," Snyder declared.
Any legislation in the Sen
ate concerning the problem
of housing regulations will
not include this specific case,
according to Snyder, but will
deal rather with the general
problem.
Sen. Dick Schulze explained
that within the next few
weeks, the ASUN Student
Conduct committee will pre
sent a written student bill of
rights, "in which we hope to
have a clause dealing with
housing regulations."
Sen. Mimi Rose said that
the problem should go to
AWrS, "where the powers are
located to regulate the affairs
of women. It is because of in
loco parentis that we have the
dormitory system."
"Since this concerns a stu
dent right," Sen. Ron Pfeifer
stressed, "student govern
ment should be involved in
the handling of the problem.
There is no choice but for us
to become involved."
Pfeifer, however, stated
that ASUN should work to
gether with AWS on the prob
lem. Bob Samuelson, second vice
president of the Senate, added
that "this could be a good
case of what student govern
ment can do. This could show
us just what type of govern
ment we have."
Pfeifer concluded the dis
cussion by saying, "We as a
student government, have ex
pressed the feeling that we
want more power. In order to
assume this power we must
take on responsibilities such
as solving this problem."
(Later AWS vice president
Barb Beckmann told the Dai
ly Nebraskan that, as she un
derstood the girls' problem, it
had no connection with AWS.)
Concerning the problem of
Sen. Mark Schreiber's seat,
Sen. Dave Senseney moved
that ASUN initiate a student
court case against Schreiber
involving reapportionment.
Senseney explained that the
court had turned down his pe-

tition for a declaratory judg
ment last week because "the
court was hesitant to take a
case where someone involved
could be closely affected."
"They recommended an ad
versary procedure, so I am
rescinding the motion I made
last week, and make this new
one naming ASUN as plain
tiff," Senseney explained.
He added that this action
could "demonstrate to Admin
stration that we are conduct-
, ing ourselves by means of
written rules, which is a bet
ter way than the Administra
tion handles their affairs."
The senate voted to accept
the motion and added anoth
er motion setting the maxi
mum fees to be paid their
lawyers at $2.75 an hour with
a maximum limit on fees of
$20.
The senate voted to approve
the motion made by Sen. Car
olyn Bedient that the Euro
pean Flight program, which
has in the past been sponsored
by ASUN, be turned over to
the Nebraska Union, on the
condition that they operate
the program on a non-profit
basis. The motion was ap
proved. Pfeifer then moved the
senate adopt a resolution con
cerning the sale of student
season basketball tickets. The
provisions in the motion call
for a student section for sea
son ticket holders, which
would be policed by Corncobs.
The motion, which bad al
ready been agreed to by the
Athletic Department, passed
unanimously by means of a
voice vote.
In announcements, ASUN
vice president, Roger Doerr
said that there will be a student-administration
forum
held next Tuesday afternoon
at 4:00 p.m. in the Pawnee
Room of the Nebraska Union.
There will be dual topics for
the forum. The first will con
cern the ways in which mon
ey is allotted to the student
senate from the administra
tion. The second will be a dis
cussion on discrimination on
the University campus.

Dormitories Vote No . . .
IDCC To Revise Constitution
The Interdorm Coordinat
ing Committee (IDCC) will
first try to find out from the
dormitory residents why they
defeated the proposed Inter
dorm Council constitution,
and then will make amend
ments to the constitution, if
needed, according to IDCC
chairman Jim Ludwig.
Dormitory residents voted
on the constitution Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. Six
dorms disapproved the consti
tution and four approved it
with a majority of the resi
dents voting.
The constitution needed to
be approved by seven dormi
tories to be ratified.
At the IDCC meeting
Wednesday Ludwig stated
that the IDCC will find o u t
from the residents why the
constitution was unsuitable
for them to approve at this
time.
"No one seems to be of the
opinion that there should be
no Interdorm Council," he
said, "but there seems to be
a large difference of opinion
on this particular document."
He said that he will attend
council meetings of the vari
ous dormitories to get infor
mation from them about what
is needed to be changed in
the constitution.
"I assume that the consti
tution has failed," Ted Suhr
of Selleck said, "and I sug
gest that" the IDCC meet
again and iron out the prob
lems seen in the constitu
tion." Nobody was against the
idea of an Interdorm Council,
Suhr said, but the dissenters
were against the ambiguities
in the constitution.
John Decker of Cather pro
posed that each residence hall
that has an opinion submit
a written form of suggestion
or element of dissention to the
IDCC.
Residents need to be in
formed of what the Interdorm
Council is and what it stands
for, said Bob Louder of Abel.
"If the constitution had
been made clear and publi
cized it would have been
passed as it stands now," he
st cited
Ludwig said that the IDCC
left the individual dorms to
inform their residents and re
lied on previous publications
of the Daily Nebraskan io
publicize the constitution.

that prevented the constitu-
Ross States
Regulations
For Women
A Board of Regents policy
states that all undergraduate
single women must live in
University residences, except
under extenuating circum
stances. Robert G. Ross, Dean of
Student Affairs, explained
that this has been the Uni
versity policy for many years
and was the rule applied re
cently to the case of a 21-year-old
junior coed who had
moved off campus this sem
ester from her dormitory res
idence in Burr Hall.
According to Ross, some
senior women at the end of
their junior year request per
mission to live off campus,
lie stated that this permis
sion is granted depending up
on the availability of resi
dence housing for the coming
year.
Under extenuating circum
stances, other women are al
lowed to live off campus.
Some of these reasons, ac
cording to Ross, include: par
ticular kinds of health prob
lems, working for room and
board in a home, and living
with relatives in the city.
Concerning the East Cam
pus coed, Ross stated that the
University is interested in her
honoring her semester con
tract for housing at the Uni
versity. He said that her re
quest for special permission
to live off campus has been
denied, and that she has been
asked to move back to Burr
Hall.
Ross noted that there was
a possibility that at the end
of the semester when the girl
obtains senior status, she may
be granted permission to
move off campus.
tion from being passed, the
problem was a number of
things," Ludwig added.
The IDCC will get particu
lar problems from the resi
dents first and then will make
particular amendments, he
said.
He extended an invitation
to all representatives and all
residents to present any writ
ten amendments to the con
stitution at the next IDCC
meeting Nov. 30.
"With a few things changed
and when the constitution is
gone through in every unit it
should be able to draw a
large vote of confidence,"
Ludwig said.
He asked that all amend
ments to be proposed be pre

The inconvenience caused by closing
Vine Street between 17th and 26th streets
for construction should be more than
compensated for by a quicker route to
the campus, according to Robert Ober
ing, City Director of Public Works.
Obering said that completion of Vine
Street construction should take place
sometime this month.
"Wre're shooting for Thanksgiving. Next
year we hope to widen Vine up to 47th
street," said Obering.
Obering said that he didn't think traf-
Money Lack
Lack of interest on the part
of contributors, consumers
and the University, is the
crux of production problems
for Scrip, the campus literary
magazine, according to Frank
McClanahan, editor.
Scrip, a magazine com
posed of student literary
works, is partially subsidized
by the English department.
Sale of advertising and student
sales go towards the rest of
the costs of production.
The magazine has failed to
make its appearance on cam
pus yet this year because of
a quality versus cost conflict,
according to the editor.
McClanahan stated that
Scrip is working under a $150
debt incurred last year, and
that the money remaining
from subsidization is enough
for two mimeographed issues
of the magazine.
"We can't sell enough is
sues to make a profit, and
success with ad sales has
been limited," McClanahan
said.
He explained that if the
magazine doesn't have the
money, it can't increase the
quality. McClanahan would
like to produce a printed rath
er than mimeographed issue
of Scrip because of the artis
tic limitations of mimeo
graphed copy.
"For a university of almost
20,000 students, sales and con
tributions are not up to par,"
declared McClanahan.
He noted that the best issue
last year, as far as quality is
concerned, was the Scrip is
sue containing the Ginsberg
supplement. He stated that
even that issue sold at most
450 copies. McClanahan also
explained that perhaps 30
make an agenda and master
plan for the IDCC meeting.
Larry Andersen of Selleck
suggested that Tom Briggs
and Dave Snyder, chairmen
of the ad hoc committee to
defeat the constitution, be in
vited to the IDCC meeting to
present their specific objec
tions. One of the objections they
had, Andersen said, was that
IDCC was almost a secret or
ganization and they didn't
know IDCC meetings were
open or when they were held.
Earlier Briggs, a Cather
resident, had stated that from
the publicity put out by the
ad hoc committee about the
weak points in the constitu
tion, a majority of residents

people out of the entire under
graduate enrollment at the
University contribute literary
work to the magazine.
"The school apparently
won't support a magazine of
this type . . . it's not a maga
zine we've taken seriously,"
stated McClanahan.
To help solve the financial
dilemma, an issue of Scrip
that was finished last spring
during Dead Week, but was
never sold at that time, will
go on sale next week.
With the "vague financial
arrangements" concern
ing subsidization of Scrip, Mc
Clanahan said that it would
Winter Park Ruled Out
For Semester Ski Trip
Tentative plans are now
being made for the Ne
braska Union's ski trip
held during semester
break, according to Rich
ard Scott, Union Program
Director.
Final details are not
available yet due to the
fart that the trip sight has
been changed. Scott re
ported that the cost of
lodging and ski rental at
Winter Park has increased
and the trip would be too
expensive.
Winter Park also cannot
provide enough accommo
dations to handle the num
ber of people that usually go
on the trip.

not ready for approval at this
ime.
"The IDCC should reform
and include the opinions of
those people opposed to the
original constitution and re
write it in a form acceptable
to a majority of residents,"
Briggs said.
He said that he and Snyder
would like to add their ideas
to the constitution. He said
that they represent a large
portion of those students who
voted against it.
"We would like to see the
Interdorm Council become a
reality as soon as possible,"
Briggs said. "We were
pleased that both sides were
brought forth in discussion of
the constitution."

"But it should be a great advantage to
students who normally travel Vine,"
observed Obering.
The construction will widen Vine
Street to four lanes. "One thing that's
holding us up now is the railroad com
pany," Obering said. "They lost some
materials needed for the crossing, and
that has slowed us down."
Vine street expansion to 47th should
also aid traffic leaving campus, accord

put out a printed issue this
semester, but that a mimeo
graphed edition would be sold
in early December. An issue
is also planned for next se
mester. McClanahan stated that
Scrip plays a definite role
on campus by publishing lit
erary work of merit from the
student body. He termed it a
"reward for a job well done."
"It's a shame that good
writing is happening on cam
pus and no one knows about
it it's a bigger shame that
no one cares," said McClana

the end of the week.
According to Scott, 115
people attended last year's
ski trip, and more students
would have attended if they
could have been accom

Scott.
This year's trip will be

at midnight, and students
will return on Sunday, Jan.

lodging, meals and insurance.
