Few Students Attend Meeting
On Mil Tribunal Possibility
Seven students turned out for a
Student Council open meeting
Thursday to discuss the possibility
of a Student Tribunal at the Uni
versity. The meeting was conducted by
ing fire throughout the state,"
Phyl Bonner, publicity chairman,
stated. The Imperial assembly of
the order ..of, the rainbow-for girls
has donated ten dollars, she said.
The committee is hoping for more
such out-state support, she added.
The Student Council, in a meet
1 n g Wednesday, unanimously
passed a resolution supporting the
project.
The central committee of the
University-sanctioned project, is
being expanded to include repre
sentatives of interested organiza
tions, according to Barb Sharp,
committee chairman.
Any organization wishing repre
sentation on the committee should
contact Miss Sharp.
Miss Sharp said that the re
sponse to the project is good, but
that it is necessary that the com
mittee be able to guarantee cloth
ing, board and room, maintenance
funds and transportation by
Christmas vacation. She added that
anyone wishing to help with the
project should send their contribu
tions to the University of Ne
braska Foundation, Room 106 Love
Library, and that the checks should
be marked "Hungarian Student
Project."
No specific information in re
gard to the names of the refugees
that will be coming to NU has
been received as of yet, according
to Margo Hornady, committee sec
retary. She added that this in
formation is expected from World
University Service within the
week.
Contacting of many Lincoln

Discussed
Norma Wolf, Sue Henkle, Mar
vin Breslow and Bev Deepe. The
Tribunal is still in the planning
stage and few of the details have
been worked out. The open
meeting was intended to sound
out student opinion on the pos
sibility of such an organization.
the Students Activities Committee
which has been investigating the
possibility of such an organization
to replace or supplement the pres
ent Committee on Student Affairs
in regard to disciplinary action.
Marvin Breslow, chairman, ex
plained that the idea of the tri
bunal was based on the principle
that "students should have an in
terest in anything in the Univer
sity which affects their educa
tion". He explained that the tri
bunal probably would not handle
cases of disciple any better than
the faculty now does and that the
students are not necessarily dis
atisfied with the way the faculty
now handles them. The goal of
the tribunal is merely to allow the
students to handle their own dis
cipline in accordance with the
above principle, he stated.
Sue Henkle explained the pos
sible areas over which the tribunal
might have jurisdiction.
She stated that there were two
divisions of student offenses, aca
demic and non-academic. In the
first category fall such cases as
class attendence, cheating and cur
riculum fulfillments. Under non
academic cases come such things
as offenses against property, per
sons and peace. She stressed that
it would not have authority over
cases involving morals.
Connie Hurst explained that the
tribunal could be responsible to
any one of five groups in the Uni
versity; the Board of Regents, the
Chancellor, the Committee on Stu
dent Affairs, the Dean of Student
Affairs or the Deans associates.
Helen Gourlay explained the pos
sibilities of membership. Probably
the tribunal would be rather small,
she said. Suggested membership
was four students and one faculty
member with vote or five students
and one non-voting faculty mem
ber. The meeting was then thrown
open to discussion. The audience
pointed out such disadvantages of

Harrison:
GOP Claims
Drouth Hurt
In Elections
Declining livestock prices and
the extreme drouth coupled with
an overly optimistic GOP atti
tudewere the primary reasons
for the close Congressional elec
tion in November, Congressman
Robert Harrison told University
Republicans Thursday.
The Congressman from Norfolk,
who trailed his Democratic op
ponent Lawrence Brock by 1129
votes on election night, passed
Brock by a slim margin following
the mail vote returns. Brock may
yet contest the election on the
basis of election irregularities in
some counties.
"Too many Republicans took
Bob Harrison for granted," Harri
son stated, "but had there been a
good crop this year the victory
margin would have been much
greater."
He said too many people thought
they could "get back in the driv
ers seat" with a change in con
gressmen. Although only 36 percent of the
people in Nebraska are Democrats,
Harrison said many people de
pressed by drouth and livestock
conditions switched their vote
this year.
In his previous campaigns Har
rison won by margins of 65, 66
and 68 percent of the votes cast.
Other factors contributing to a
close election, Harrison said, were
"an effective campaign by Demo
cratic committeemen" and what
he termed a "two-edged harpoon
on the part of some of the op
position." Harrison . said he campaigned
primarily on his record and not
on criticism leveled by his oppo
sition. He admitted the Democrats put
up the "strongest opponent they
could" but said he met a larger
percentage of the people through
mass meetings and personal con
tacts.
The absentee votes which gave
him his margin was the largest
percentage of mail votes he had
received in his four elections. He
added, "it's a hard way to win."
"Next time," he said, "to keep
the GOP in power we're going to
have to work for it," However he
said he didn't think any greater
campaign "concentration" would
be given the mail vote next time
than was given for the Nov. 1936
election.
Harrison urged the NU Republi
cans, it you don t like the Re
publican party, don't quit it im
prove it."
Decision Not
Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell, former
chairman of the University's de
partment of agricultural econom
ics, will probably not return to
Lincoln to appear before the Sen
ate Committee on Academic Ten
ure and Privilege.
Dr. Mitchell is presently in Mex
ico City working with the United
Nations Food and Agricultural Or
ganization. ;
The report that at present Dr.
Mitchell was not planning to a
return to the campus was uncon
firmed Friday, but it was revealed
that when Dr. Mitchell had made
his final decision he would inform
DaVid Dow, chairman of the fac
ulty committee and professor of
law.
Mitchell will send material to
the committee which will present
his case in which he makes six
accusations against University ad
ministrators. The unconfirmed report said that
Mitchell might possibly be able
to get leave from his present job
in February. Mitchell resigned
from the University in September.
Dow said Thursday that he had
not yet been informed of any de
cision by Mitchell to return or
not to return. Dow has stated that
dates for the hearings would be
set as soon as all of the people
involved could be advised of the
committee's determination and
convenient times agreed upon.
Dow said in October that he
doubted whether Mitchell would
return for the opening of the hear
ings.
Mitchell called for an investiga
tion into the specific causes of his
removal from the chairmanship of
the agricultural economics depart
ment. The first hint of the possible de
motion of Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell
from his position as chairman of
the department of agricultural ec
onomics came on April 12, 1956.

The reason given by Lambert
was "to strengthen beyond present
levels the research and extension
programs in agricultural econom
ics". The Dean denied that his de
cision involved Dr. Mitchell' ten
ure. The Nebraskan wrote to many
outside sources concerning the is
sue. Returns indicated a high de
gree of confidence in Mitchell'!
ability. Certain professors pre
viously connected with the Univer
sity indicated that the stand of
the Nebraskan that the removal
was a moral violation of academic
freedom was in part true and that
similar situations existed in other
colleges of the University.
On May 15, the Chancellor Is
sued a statement in which he de
nied that the University had in
any case violated the spirit or tha
principles of academic freedom.
On May 23, Mitchell issued a
special statement to the Nebras
kan saying his academic freedom
had been violated. In six points,
he claimed that repeated attempts
had been made to "tone down, mod
ify and even to censor my publi
cations." He said he was advised
"to resign my position and move
elsewhere, assured that I would
never get a salary increase, and
that I was on the Regents black
list." He maintained that "In Feb.
1955, because of continued contro
versy over my views. I was told
that I was going to be relieved of
my chairmanship."
