At the request of The Nebras
kan, Chancellor Hardin agreed
to release a prepared statement
covering many of the questions
that arose as an aftermath of
the recent riot.
Prior to the time the following
statement was drawn up, a group
of questions calling for detailed
answers was submitted. This
statement is meant to clarify the
entire area of administrative ac
tion taken as a result of the
riot.
Since original acton was taken,
In which 19 students were dis
missed from school, the Board of
Regents has heard appeals from
many expelled students and their
families.
Amorg the 19 cases, two have
seemed especially confused. At J
the present time, William Dole-)
man, originally dismissed, then'
reinstated, is suspended. Clar
ence Swanson, who was oa pro
bation at the time of the riot,
has been placed on a more se
vere type of probation and has
been reinstated. '
Following is the statement as
prepared by the Chancellor'.
The Nabraskan has informed! me
that many students fail to under
stand the University Administra
tion's line of thought on the follow
ing points involved in handling of
the April 14 riot:
1. The measurement used to de
termine whether a student should
or should not be suspended.
Z. The difference between cause
Miss Berry was elected to fill
the vacancy in the holdover mem
bers on the Council created by the
forced absence of Althouse. In the
original elec-
nesday, Alt
house was
named presi
dent, Hove
vice president.
Miss M a n
gold was sec
ond vice pres
ident and Miss
Katskee and
Wishnow were Hove
holdover members.
According to Jack Rogers, re
tiring Council president, an "un
fortunate mistake was made in
overlooking the eligibility require
ment, but the end result has pro
duced excellent leadership for
the Student Council for next year."
At the Wednesday election, the
entire membership of the Council
originally answered roll call. Thurs
day evening, at the special elec
tion meeting, a quorum was pres
ent. Council rules provide that 60
per cent of the membership must
be present. With this minimum, a
simply majority is sufficient for
election.
Hove, new president, is vice
president of the Innocents Society;
assistant business manager of The
Nebraskan, member of Corn Cobs,
Kosmet Klub, Alpha Kappa Fsi
and Delta Tau Delta.

Four Guest Soloists
To Appear Sunday
The annual spring oratorio, "Eli
jah" by Felix Mendelssohn, will
be presented in the Coliseum at
8 p.m. Sunday.
Dr. Arthur Westbrook, professor
of voice, will direct the production
which will feature six University
choral groups, University Sym
phony Orchestra and four outstand
ing soloists.
Included in the 600-voice mas
sed chorus will be the Ag College
chorus, Men's Glee Club, the
two University choruses, Univer
sity Singers and the Madrigal
Singers. The University Symphony
Orchestra will be the accom
paniment. Soloists with the chorus will be
Donald Gramm, bass; Richard
Koupal, tenor; Doris Ganz, so
prano, and Marilee Logan Amund
son, contralto.
Gramm is the leading bass bari
tone with the New York City Cen
ter Opera Company. He has been
soloist with many nationally prom
inent symphony orchestras.
Koupal is assistant professor of
music at Iowa State college. He
has sung with Fred Waring's
Pennsylvanians, the Radio Chor
ister's quartet and the Rodgers
for discipline by the University
and cause for a fine in court.
3. The reasons for removal of
suspension in the case of William
Doleman, a graduate student from
Fairbury.
The principal measurement em
ployed to divide "suspension"
cases from others was the answer
to this question: "Did this student,
during the riot, make improper
entry into living-quarter areas re
served for women-students?" If
the answer was "yes," suspension
was imposed.
As to point No. 2, the University
Eoard of Regents has the authori
ty under Nebraska law to make
rules and regulations to govern
conduct at the University. Proof
of an infraction of University rules
or regulations to the satisfaction
of University authorities is suffi
cient to warrant disciplinary action
by the University. .
A court, of course, is guided by
the provisions of statutes. Since
state statutes and University reg
ulations are two different things,
it is possible that . a student may
be disciplined by the University
without involvement in court, or
that a student may be fined in
court without also being subject
to University discipline.
The case of William Doleman
has caused us both trouble and
embarrassment. When originally
questioned, Doleman admitted par
ticipation in the April 14 rioting
and was ordered suspended. Later
the Judiciary C ommittee, is secre
tary of Mortar Board, president of
YWCA, former president of NUC
WA, member of the debate team,

Council Resolution

A group of delegates from the
Student Council appeared before
Chancellor Hardin Thursday after
noon and presented him with a
Council resolution requesting the
Faculty Senate to reconsider its
action in limiting the duration of

he returned to the Office of the
Dean of Student Affairs and said
that his participation amounted
only to being present in the lobby
of the women's residence halls.
In the interest of fairness and
in the absence of absolute proof
that Doleman was in living quar
ters of women students during the
riot, the Dean reinstated Doleman
pending further investigation. This
week, the Dean's office obtained
new evidence which satisfies it
that Doleman was, as a matter of
fact, in living-quarter areas during
the riot. Consequently, he is now
suspended.
The request made to me came
prior to the meeting of our Board
of Regents on Tuesday. By now,
of course, you all know that the
Board authorized Dean Colbert to
reinstate suspended students on a
probationary basis and with my
approval but not before next Sep
tember. This means that the way
is clear for an adjustment in pen
alties in cases which may m;rit
review.
There is another aspect of the
disciplinary developments which,
without explanation, you might
find confusing. It concerns the case
of Clarence Swanson of McCook.
Swanson was on conduct proba
tion when the riot occurred. Though
there was no evidence that Mr.
Swanson had entered living quar
ters of women students during the
riot, his conduct during that eve
ning was such that Dean Colbert

Elliott To Speak
Dr. Edward C. Elliott, pic
tured above, will be the main
speaker at the University Com
mencement Exercises on Mon
day, June 13.
Dr. Elliott, retired president of
Purdue University, is an alum
nus of the University class of
1895. Approximately 900 seniors
and graduate students will re
ceive degrees at the graduation
exercises, which are scheduled
for 10 a.m. in the Coliseum.
and his associates determined that
some disciplinary action was re
quired. Since Swanson was already
on conduct probation, the Dean's
Office suspended him for the bal
ance of the semester as penalty
for violation of his previous con
duct probation.
When Swanson expressed a de
sire to appeal from that decision,
the Dean ruled that the case
should be heard by the Faculty
Committee on Student Conduct,
rather than by the Board of Re
gents. His ruling was based on the
point that the suspension penalty
imposed upon Swanson resulted in
the main from the fact he was pre
viously on conduct probation rath
er than from actual participation
in the riot. That explains why
Swanson's case was heard by a
Faculty Committee rather than
the Board of Regents which heard
other appeals evolving from riot
cases.
The Faculty Committee recom
mended a reduction in Swanson's
penalty. Dean Colbert, as a result,
has reinstated Swanson, but the
terms of his probation are now
more stringent than in the original
instance and he is denied resi
dence in organized housing under
University control.
I sincerely hope that these ex
planations will clear up any
doubts which may be existed in the
minds of the student body. It is
for that purpose that I agreed to
supply this statement.

will take effect. It has been assum
ed that it will take effect in the
fall semester, January, 1956, Har
din said. The Senate calendar com
mittee will work out an amend

which will be presented to the Sen
aet at their meeting in October.
When the faculty Senate meets
again in October, any person or
group may protest the recent fac
ulty action to limit exam periods
to one week.
No further action will be taken
on the Faculty Senate ruling until
that time. At the next Senate
meeting next fall, the present Uni
versity calendar of events, which
has already been - scheduled for
next year, must be amended be
fore the one-week exam period can
take effect.

Reshiission
Date Set
The Board of Regents, after
Tuesday hearings of appeals of
nine students suspended in con
nection with the panty raid riot
April 14, issued the following reso
lution: "Resolved, that the action taken
by the Dean of Student Affairs in
connection with the suspension of
students involved in the riot of
April 14, 1955, on the University
campus in Lincoln be in all re
spects affirmed, provided the
Dean of Student Affairs in his dis
cretion may upon showing satisfac
tory to him and approved by the
Chancellor re-instate any student
so suspended upon a probationary
status under such conditions as
he shall determine advisable but
not prior to September 1, 1955."
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Before the hearings, Board Pres
ident J. Leroy Welsh read a state
ment saying that credits of sus
pended students wishing to trans
fer to another school will not be
withheld and that along with the
credit transfer will go a state
ment f that the student "did not
leave the University in good standing."
Previously, students have been
required to pass 24 hours of regu
larly scheduled classes each se
mester to participate in extra
curricular activities.
Charles Miller, chairman of the
Senate Inter-collegiate athletics
committee, introduced the motion
which was passed after a voice
vote. Other members of the com
mittee are Dean A. Worcester and
Will Foxwell. Athletic Director
Bill Orwig, and Earl Fullbrook are
ex-officio members.
Robert Morgan, assistant profes
sor of political science, proposed
an amendment to the main motion
that would exclude hours accumu
lated in correspondence courses in
subjects offered in resident in
struction at the University for use
in making up eligibility require
ments. The amendment was voted
down, after a division of the house
had been taken.
Morgan said he felt that the is
sue of eligibility and the shortening
of exam week were related in
that both dealt with University stan
dards of students receiving a lib
eral education.
Many faculty members stated
that both rulings constitute a low
ering of University educational
standards. It is evidence of a trend
toward standardization of educa
tion, they said.
Under the new ruling, a student
could have only 96 hours of ac
tual class work toward the 125
hours required for graduation at
the end of four years, the normal
college course.
Miller, professor of business or
ganization, staled that other Big
7 schools had such provisions in
suring the eligibility of athletes.
One athlete at Kansas State was
still eligible for athletics despite

Selection Committee
Nominations Begin
For Top Nebraskan
Nominations for "Outstanding
Nebraskan" for this semester
among student and faculty mem
bers are now open. Nominations
will be accepted anytime before
Tuesday, May 24.
Each semester The Nebraskan
sponsors a competition for an "Out
standing Nebraskan," from the
faculty and the student body. The
candidate must have made out
standing contributions to the Uni
versity. The faculty candidate, to be elig
ible, must have served at least
two years as a staff member or
graduate student at the Univer
sity. Previously, the final selections
for "Outstanding Nebraskans"
were made by the editorial staff
of The Nebraskan, after consid
ering the qualifications of those
the fact that he had taken ex
tension work at Nebraska, Miller
said.
Approximately 196 faculty mem
bers attended the senate meeting
Tuesday, the largest number to
attend any meeting this year, ac
cording to faculty sources.
The proposal was brought be
fore the Committee of Student Af
fairs and was advanced to the
Senate floor by a vote of nine to
eight. The chairman of the meet
ing broke an eight to eight tie in
order to advance the measure be
fore the Senate. Announcement
was made of the faculty commit
tee's vote before the Senate.
Under normal conditions, it is
difficult to get a quorum of 50 to
attend Faculty Senate meetings,
faculty members said.
The group as largely made up
of representatives from depart
ments in agriculture, engineering,
home economics, the Extension
Division and Teachers College, ac
cording to faculty sources.
The Senate also passed a rul
ing dealing with the eligibility of
students on conduct probation.
Such students may participate in
extra-curricular activities which
are required for credit in a course
only. Such events would include
chorus presentations and plays.
