CHANCELLOR Clifford Hardin rf affirmed his last spring's state
nent of academic freedom at the University in a Nebraskan interview.
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."

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

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

Spirits Haunt Campus
Halloween spirit ran rampant

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

approval.
2. "They had not properly sub
