Freedom Of Exp
Guaranteed For Faculty
By DAVE BUNTAIN
Senior Staff Writer
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
assured the faculty senate
Thursday that a recent state
ment by Gov. Norbert Tie
mann would not affect the
faculty's freedom of expres
sion. Tiemann told a news con
ference last week that he
would like to have the names
of the University faculty
members who might have
given a standing ovation to
Dick Gregory at his recent
speech here.
"The University's traditions
with respect to free ex
pression are well-established
and well-known," Hardin said.
"There are no changes con
templated." The Governor is well aware
of this academic tradition, he
added.
The faculty-senate ap
proved a motion, allowing de
partments to offer honors
seminars for students major
lng in their field on a pass
fail basis.
The motion, introduced by
Poll Sites Open
To Student Voters
University students will
elect the 1967 Homecoming
Queen and vote on the pro
posed FM Station In a refer
endum Wednesday at an all
campus election.
Five voting sites will be
open between 9 a.m. and 6
p.m. All students voting af
ter 6 p.m. must vote at the
Nebraska Union between 6
and 8 p.m.
Students in the college of
Arts and Sciences will vote
at the Art Gallery in the
Union, Teacher's students at
Teacher's College, Agricul
ture and Home Economics
students at the East Union,
Engineering and Architecture
majors at Ferguson Hall and
Business Administration,
Graduate and Professional
students at Love Library.
Students-at-large (those
carrying under 12 hours), stu
dents who have switched
majors inee Oct. 26, and
s'Mn's with iirdrclarod ma
jors can vote at For won
Hall between 9 a.m. and 6
p.m.
Students in the College of
Dentistry will vote in the
East Union.
SAME PROCEUDRE
The voting procedure will
be the same as for the Viet
nam referendum, according
Dr. Robert Dewey, chairman
of the philosophy department,
helps clear the way for the
introduction of an Honors
Philosophy Colloquium.
Dr. Dewey said the resolu
tion was necessary because
all matters dealing with the
use of pass-fail must be
cleared with the faculty-senate.
Until now students have
been unable to apply pass-fail
credits toward their major
requirements.
The motion was phrased
generally to allow individual
departments to decide who
are their "honors students"
and whether their honors
seminars should be taught on
pass-fail.
The philosophy department
has already submitted a
course description to the
Course of Study Committee of
the College of Arts and Sci
ences. Dr. Dewey said the hon
ors Philosophy colloquium,
if approved, would be
taught to junior and senior
philosophy majors holding
at least a 3.0 average. He
to Ed Hilz, ASUN election
commissioner.
Hilz said voters must pre
sent a student identification
card and sign their name in
ink at the polls.
Homecoming candi
dates are: Barb Boczar,
Judy Busboom, Maggie Even
son, Connie Ewerth, Susie
Kunc, Joleen Phillips, Nanci
Shook. Sherrie Sicklebower,
Gail Skinner and Trish Sullz
baugh. Students indicate their
choice by punching out the
hole next to the candidate in
stead of blackening the space,
Hilz explained.
The homecoming queen and
her two attendants will be an
nounced at the homecoming
dance.
The FM referendum will
determine whether University
students are willing to pay
an added 15c per semester
for a University I'M station.
R-suits of the FM referrn
riiiM wi'l be announced in the
Friday Daily Nebraskan.
Last year about 3700 stu
dents voted in the homecom
ing election, reported Hilz.
This year more than 5000
students are expected to vote,
he said because the FM ref
erendum should bring more
people to toe polls.
1
said the course would prob
ably be offered each spring
and would vary each term,
so that a student could take
it both his junior and senior
years.
The course would be
"taught co-operatively by sev
eral teachers." Because the
colloquium would involved
honors students who have
proven their ability, "the em
phasis would be on their ac
quiring knowledge" rather
than on grades.
ASUN Supports
Housing Code
Student efforts in support
of Lincoln's Minimum Hous
ing Standards code are in
creasing as the Nov. 14 ref
erendum approaches, accord
ing to M a r g o McMaster,
ASUN Special Projects chair
man. Miss McMaster's commit
tee is helping co-ordinate Un
iversity student actions to
bring passage of the cod e,
which would require Lincoln
property owners to meet
certain minimum standards
in the up-keep of their prop
erty. The committee has sent
letters to over 1500 parents
of University students who
live in Lincoln urging them
to vote in favor of the pro
posal. The group has also can
vassed parts of the city in
conjunction with the Nation
al Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored Peo
ple and the Malone Center.

Authorities Investigating
Alleged Marijuana Case
A case of marijuana pos
session and use on the Uni
versity campus which was
discovered last week is being
investigated by the Drug
Control Division of the State
Patrol, accor.lin to the Lan

In other senate action, the
group approved a report by
the committee on Intercollegi
ate Athletics, dealing with the
school's censure by the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic As
sociation for a football re
cruiting infraction.
The committee found that
"the athletic program is be
ing conducted with integrity."
It cited the mildness of the
NCAA's rebuke as proof of
the over-all soundness of the
recruiting program.
mittee members have also
been assigned to canvas Uni
versity buildings. "We have
been concentrating on the
janitorial and secretarial em
ployees, In addition to the
faculty member s," she
pointed out.
The committee has dis
tributed brochures to the cof
fee rooms frequented by Uni
versity personnel. These bro
chures discuss both sides of
the minimum housing issue.
She said, "We have been
getting a generally 'pro' re
sponse f r o m the faculty mem
bers with whom we have
talked."
Faculty members who sup
port the code have staged 25
neighborhood teas to acquaint
their friends with the issues
involved, she added.
Miss McMaster said the
committee plans to finance a
billboard to be erected across
from the Nebraska Union

Hardin's Committee
To Write Guidelines
To Set Policy For Student Freedom
By ED ICENOGLE
Senior Staff Writer
The Chancellor's Student
Academic Freedom (SAF)
committee will start work
Monday on a document stat
ing the relationships of facul
ty, administration and stu
dent body, according to Rich
ard S c h u 1 z e, committee
spokesman.
Following the SAF commit
tee's second meeting Monday,
Schulze, ASUN president and
a student representative to
the committee, said the group
is working on "a statement of
policy for the whole Univer
sity community."
SAF committee is composed
of two representatives from
the faculty, administration
and student body and was
called by Chancellor Clifford
Hardin to confer on problems
relating to the three branches
of the University community.
"At the next meeting,"
Schulze said, "we will start
submitting written propos
als." BROAD DOCUMENT
The proposals are expected
to lead to a broad document,
employing the so-called Stu
dent Bill of Rights as a basis.
Charles Aznavour Performs . . .
French Singer Combines
Dream, Reality In Music
French actor, singer and
songwriter Charles Aznavour
will appear in Lincoln Nov.
14 at the Nebraska Theater
at 8 p.m. in a concert spon
sored by the Nebraska Union
Speaker-Artist Series.
He has been described by
"Life" magazine as the great
est international show busi
ness phenomenon of the dec
ade. For his first film, "Tete
contre le Mur," Aznavour re
ceived the French Academy
Award, the equivalent of
America's Oscar. American
movie-goers have seen him
in "Tomorrow Is My Turn,"
and "Shoot the Piano Play
er," which is being presented
at Sheldon Gallery Nov. 8.
The actor made his first
appearance in the U.S. in
1963 in Carnegie Hall before
a sell-out crowd. He was
asked to return and appeared
in New York, Los Angeles,
San Francisco and Boston.
I 1 1 " "
CHARLES AZNAVOUR tit French singer and songwriter
Art Gallery, Nov. U,
The Bill of Rights was ap
proved as constitutional
amendments by a record
turn-out of voters at last
spring's ASUN electio.n
This fall, the ASUN execu
tives agreed the Bill of Rights
could not become amend
ments until they were ap
proved by the Board of Re
gents. Rather than having the Re
gents approve or reject t h e
amendments, 17 in all, t h e
chancellor established the
six-man committee to "imple
ment the idea of the Bill into
University policy, Schulze
indicated earlier this semes
ter. "We are developing a
broader base," he said, "a
farther - reaching document
than the Bill of Rights. The
Bill of Rights will serve as a
basis for the new document.
EXPECTATIONS
"It will present the expec
tations the students have of
the University," he added,
"and the expectations the
school has of the students."
The document will also ap
ply to the faculty and admin
istration, Schulze indicated.
Schulze said that the new
"Newsweek" compares Az
navour to the late Edith Piaf,
named the French sparrow.
Aznavour is described as five
feet four inches of noncom
mittal man on the street until
he opens his mouth to sing.
"Newsweek" commented
that Aznavour is not hand
some and appears wistful and
vulnerable. Yet for this rea
son he seems to make passion
all the more believable. He
recognizes that dream and
reality both exist, that peo
ple suffer but learn to love
again.
On the stage, critics say,
he creates drama with his
voice, husky and melancholy.
Aznavour writes all the songs
he sings. He admits that they
are not all happy ones. "I
want to say that everything
is not fantastic, but what is
fantastic is life. Love can be
sad, but through that sadness
you are going to find happi
ness," the performer said.
.
:Y
' h
document's purpose will be to
establish a guideline for t h e
conditions in the academic
community.
"The Bill of Rights said
only what a student can do or
cannot do," Schulze said.
"This document will also say
what they should do and
should not do."
TO BE SUBMITTED
The result of the commit
tee's work will be a statement
of policy that would be sub
mitted to the students, facul
ty and Regents for approval,
Schulze added.
He said that the document
should be finished by the first
part of the second semester.
Schulze said earlier this
year that any statement on
which he or Gene Pokorny,
the other student representa
tive, worked would be sub
ject to approval by the stu
dent body, since it would con
stitute a change in the Bill of
Rights approved last year.
"We are not worried about
small word changes," Schulze
said, indicating the results of
the committee are more im
portant than whether the 17
amendments become ASUN
Constitutional amendments.
Before the audience Azna
vour vividly illustrates a va
riety of emotions, according
to Cynthia Moss of "News
week." With a few words the
entertainer catches the mood
which switches instantly from
sentimentality in "La Mam
ma," his current best-seller,
to sadness in "Reste," the
story of a lost love.
Aznavour has released two
albums of his songs which are
available in the U.S. Both con
tain lyrics in French and Eng
lish. His second recording,
"Formidable!", is taken from
a live performance.
Speaking of his work, Azna
vour said, "People must lis
ten to the lyrics of my songs.
I am very close to the public
at heart, but I never say I
hope you have a nice eve
ning," or 'God bless you.' If
someone comes to your house,
you don't say that, you shake
his hand. My handshake is
my songs."
