Academic Privilege: Hordin Reaffirms Stand By DICK SHUGRUE Copy Editor Chancellor Clifford Hardin reaf firmed his statement of last May 14, Tuesday that the University faculty has a perfect right to ex change divergent opinions. The Chancellor's statement came following the Eev. Mr. Peter Raible's of the Lincoln Unitarian Church charge in a sermon Sun day that the University faculty is "discor-aged, sick at heart and fearful." The Rev. Mr. Raible's charges Indicated that academic freedom at the University is being subju gated by "insidious infiltration". He added that what cannot be ac complished "through public attack caa often be achieved through the back door." ' The May statement of the Chan cellor came following "reports in the Nebraskan which either state or imply that academic freedom is being violated at the University." At that time Dr. Hardin said that the free exchange of ideas is es sential to tbs good health of this or any other university. "Never in my opinion are the best interests of a university served by the violation of academic free dom," the May statement noted. If there is any place in our society where conflicting ideas and opin ions must be expressed, it is on cur university campuses. "The only limitations if limi tations they be are those al ready expressed in our University policy: the responsibilities of citi zenship' and 'the precepts of schol arship and faithful performance of other academic responsibili ties'." Tuesday, the Chancellor stated that no additional statement was necessary. He said that the insti tution has stuck by the declara tion. "If there is any charge that aca demic freedom is being violated, may that faculty member approach the special committee set up to re view these charges. I know of no such accusations."

Dow heads the University com mittee on academic privilege and tenure elected by the Faculty Sen ate to investigate the case. A faculty committee was asked by Dr. Mitchell to conduct the hearings on his removal as depart ment chairman. He resigned from the University last month to join the Food and Agricultural Asso ciation of the United Nations. He -ft? 5 Evening Journal commented edi torially on the charges of the Rev. Mr. Raible Tuesday. "We have no knowledge of any attempt to censure or to interfere with reasonable expression of views by members of the faculty of the university," the Star stated. An editorial column in the Lin coln Journal, said Tuesday evening "The Unitarian clergyman is a relative newcomer to Lincoln. Had he been here longer, he might have hesitated stilll longer before slapping Chancellor Hardin from thepulpit. If there is a 'continual carping' criucism . of the univer sity administration this newspaper has not he?rd of it ... My own observ; a is that there is less critic? in or the University under Dr. Harris's administration, from either Lh!i or without the facul ty, than at almost any time for at least a decade or more." Colin Jackson To Address Convocation Colin Jackson, a former visiting professor of political science at the University, will return to the Lincoln Thursday. . He will speak at a general con vocation at 11 a.m. Thursday in Love Library Auditorium. His top ic will be "The Challenge of Asia to the West."

"Dates for hearings will be set as soon as all of the people in volved can be advised of the Com mittee's determination and con venient times agreed upon."

LINCOLN, Political Groups 'Reviewed': - n By JACK POLLOCK Copy Editor The University Young Republi cans were censured at a meeting of the Judiciary Committee of the Student Council Tuesday evening for "operating and soliciting funds without proper University aproval and supervision." Presidents of both Democratic and NU GOP organizations ap peared before a regular meeting of the Judiciary Committee to review their activities. Both were questioned on organ izational structure, constitution, finances, fund raising, connection with state organizations, future plans, and records on membership. Following a review of activities of both political groups the commit tee ruled that it "does not recognize the right of the University Repub licans to further operate or raise money until it has organized to comply with the rules of the Uni versity of Nebraska governing stu dent organization." Committee member Marvin Bres low said, "This action does not deny the group the right to meet to or ganize, but they cannot carry on other activities such as fund raising until properly organized. The Democrats received a green light from the committee. "We have no control over the Democrats as they are not an Uni versity organization, they do not de sire to become such, and are organ ized only as Lancaster County Young Democrats," Don Beck, committee chairman, said. County Demo leader Wayne Thompson said the group's only connection wth the University was their meeting place, usually at the Union. Lou Schultz, president of the NU Young Republicans said he plans a meeting of the group's executive board with a judiciary committee member to iron out details for Univrsity sanction. According to Beck, the group must clarify its finances and re ceive University approval of its constitution, which must make provisions for finances, advisors, organization and structure. Approval of any campus organi zation must go through the Uni versity, then to the Student Coun cil and finally going to the Faculty Subcommittee on Student Organi zations. Schultz said the Young Republi cans do have a Constitution, but through an oversight, it had not been submitted to the University. Campus groups are also required to have their finances under super vision of W. C. Harper, assistant Fraternities Set Top Mark As AUF Goal The fraternities have set $2000 as their goal for the AUF Drive, more than any other single con tribution, Bob Schuyler, chairman of the fraternity drive, said. Schuyler has received more than a quarter of the goal though only five houses have turned in their money. Some houses have contrib uted more than $100 apiece. Schuyler expects to complete his section of the drive by Friday. Students with questions may con tact Schuyler, be said. 5 , i ' j ' Vt,' 4 ?,, sawfar- - Spirits Haunt Campus Halloween spirit ran rampant across the campus as four co-eds attired in special garb played trick or treat. Sixteenth Street traffic stopped at the sight of Anne Wade (left), Vera Ry strom, Martie Martison, and Julie Dowell demanding good NEBRASKA dean for student activities. The GOP group was primarily cited for three reasons: 1. "The NU Young Republicans were declared defunct the first semester of the year 1954-55," meaning they now would need offi cial reorganization and University approval. 2. "They had not properly sub mitted themselves for approval." 3.
