Daily Nebraskan Editorials:
Final Decision
A simple yes or no by the Faculty Senate
today will decide the future of a very important
facet of stuaent self-government. A motion to
How student members of faculty committees
voting privileges will finally come to a vote by
the Senate. Student members of these commit
tees have been without the voting privilege since
last semester.
The idea of allowing students to vote in this
phase of student-faculty relationships is not just
to give students something else to do. Tne
student vote rests on the theory that students
are able to help in the administration of their
own affairs. Faculty committees with student
members prove to be a common ground where
faculty and students can meet to talk over stu
dent problems from both points of view.
Just discussion isn't enough from the student's
viewpoint, however. He should be permitted to
express his ideas and opinions through a vote.
Without the vote the student can do no more
than suggest whenever he is asked to do so.
This has no real lasting effect. Opinions are
worth little without the right to back them up.
The student vote is also based on the prin
ciple that student opinion is needed and wel
come in faculty committees where it is repre
sented. Faculty members heading and serving
on committees containing student members have
laid how valuable the student members have
proved to be, and how their vote is welcome
and respected by the committees.
Finally, on those committees where students
are represented it is in most cases only right
and proper that the student vote be allowed. The
Board of Publications, for example, selects the
paid staffs for both the Cornhusker and th Daily
Nebraskan. The Board, a faculty subcommittee,
also helps in the direction and expenditure of
the funds handled by the two publications. These
funds are augmented by the student activity
fund, and in the case of the Daily Nebraskan
each student pays one dollar each semester
from his enrollment fees to support the news
paper.
The Daily Nebraskan is not backing the right
for students to vote on these committees merely
to keep the student "oar" in student affairs.
Like the Student Council, the Daily Nebraskan
feels students serve a definite purpose as mem
bers of the faculty groups. To deprive the stu
dents of the vote is to deprive them of the ability
to serve the committees, the students and the
University to the best of their capacities.
The issue is now in the hands of the Faculty
Senate. Students can only hope the Senate will
do the wise and the ultimately beneficial thing,
and give students back their right to vote.
The Daily Nebraskan is sure the faculty sees
the urgency of the matter,' and will act accordingly.
Salaries
There will, no doubt, be a certain rumbling
arising from the masses over the proposed in
crease in the salary of the chancellor and the
guesses that the increase would come from the
boost in tuition okayed by the Board of Regents.
However the office of the chancellor is an
Important office and one that demands the
prestige of a good salary. The Daily Nebraskan
believes that the chief executive of a major
University is doing a job indicative of an execu
tive's salary.
We will not be one of the many to gripe at
the present time.
Word has come that the superintendent of
the Chicago School System is receiving a sal
ary close to $50,000 per year. No o- will
quarrel that he has a big job to do.
We think that anyone who looks at the duties
of the chancellor and the amount of time ex
pected of him, the amount of entertaining he
must do in i;ne of duty and the number of
"little" things which pile up on his desk will
agree that he deserves a salary increase.
Along with the boost in salary for the chan
cellor we are pulling for the increase in faculty
salaries. Dr. Hardin, in recommending the fac
ulty salary increases to the legislature, men
tioned that they were "average".
Since we are hoping to keep the standards of
the University intact and further hoping that
the prestige of the school will grow rather than
remain inert the place to start is with the people
who "make or break" the University the staff.
That's the case of the salaries. If anyone com
pares the figure of administrators' salaries at
NU with administrators elsewhere he can see
that increases are not only fair but also
necessary.
We hope that the "hold-the-line will not "hold
back" the standards of the University.
Convocation
convocation. From the independents to the IFC
the word came that members would like to spon
sor a student convocation.
Now it's up to the student body to fulfill this
desire.
Individuality
From the ACP:
Individuality is a characteristic found in few
people. Vet it is probably the most sorely
needed quality in our society. If everyone
allows convention to dictate to them, there can
be no advancement or improvement.
To be an individual one must have the
strength of mind to think for oneself and then
abide by one's decisions. This is important, for
what is the use of setting your own standards
if you don't intend to stand by them.
Protect your ideals and respect them. Life
is too short to spend all of it catering to the
whims of a fair-weather world.
Students never put themselves on the spot
unless it's absolutely unavoidable.
And so with the 15 campus organizations who
are sponsoring the first student all-university
convocation Saturday at 10 a.m. in the Union.
The group knew well the difficulty of getting
the young generation out on a Saturday, morn
ing. But since it seemed important to take a
step establishing' the ability of students to spon
tor and make a success of a convocation the
groups were willing to assume that responsi
bility. Just about everything is prepared already.
Everything, that is, except a guaranteed house.
Because of the calibre of the speaker the stu
dent committee members for the convocation
are sure that there will be a large crowd at
the speech by Senator Kennedy this Saturday.
The rest they are leaving to their various or
ganizations. Organizationally speaking every
segment of the campus is represented on the
committee and should be represented at the

Ever since the word got around
that the University probably
wouldn't get too much of an in
crease in the budget from the state
legislature many students have
been thinking of ways to relieve
the pressing
problems of ed

Shugrue force the regu

take a classs.
Now on the front page of the
University schedule of classes it
states that "University regulations
require every student to schedule
two-fifths of his classes in the after
noons and-or on Tuesday, Thurs
day, Saturday mornings.
And yet as just about any stu
dent who walks through Andrews
Hall on a Tuesday at 8 a.m. can
see there are a minimum of classes
being held. Students look for the
best dodges for getting out of both
afternoon and Saturday classes.
Nowadays everyone is finding a
codge. There are no end to excuses
floating around the campus and
just about every smart alec in the
University is well prepared to meet
the staff of the card pulling divi
sion with an innocent look and a
clever excuse.
Well, as I can see it, the only
solution to the problem as long
as the students continue this sort
of shananigins is for the ad
ministration to crack: down on the
working students and everyone will
be forced to take courses when
the sections are open. This would
be a blow, certainly. But only the
students are responsible for it.
Along the same line you'll re
member a plea that the Nebraskan
made concerning the pulling of
cards for the second semester. If
not, it stated that those students
who use the buddy system to ob
t a i n cards for underclassmen
should be bodily expelled from the
schools.
When I went to pull my cards
last semester, for example, some
of the best sections of English 4
had already been filled and fresh-
Dick Shugrue
men sophomores even! had not
tven been allowed to pull cards!
If this were Denmark rather
than Nebraska, something certain
ly could have been called, rotten.
Now that problem can be solved
by a cooperation of two classifica
tions of people. First the advisor
should sign a class sheet in ink so
that no alterations could be made.
In the second place since one
'clever" senior had admitted to
me tha he had obtained four not
one but four cards for English
Four the staff at the card tables
should have been on the alert.
I won't for one minute suggest
that the ladies who have to put
up with plenty at the present time
should have to remember every
face. But if they could get a look
at the man's (or woman's) as
signment sheet and notice what is
on it the problem would almost
solve itself.
Once again, the burden of the
task falls to the students who must
be willing to stand in line for a
while if they wish to get the fairest
treatment from the card-sharks,

The director of the Summer Ses
sions, Frank Sorenson, told the
Daily Nebraskan a few weeks ago
that the summer schedule of class
es was no larger than that of the
past few years.
However, a story which the Ne
braskan received and published
Friday said that the summer en
rollment was expected to rise.
We wonder what with the boom
expected in the number of students
in college why the number of cours
es hasn't risen and why the avail
able section of some courses hasn't
also risen. Ltist summer, for ex
ample, I was in an English course
which had about 50 students.
I felt that it was a rather large
section at the time and hoped
that some adjustment should be
made in the future.
However, we must realize that
the teachers in a University are
entitled to a three-month vacation
(if you can call it that) in order
that they, too, may pursue their
education and give to the Univer
sity greater prestige.
For those who would like to at
tend summer school I can't think of
a more stimulating experience.
But I'd suggest scheduling a 1 1

Following the doalh of Cae

somewhat uneasy triumvirate
composed of Marc Antony, Oc

men were not so much joined
together because of mutual es

Little, good came of the union.

gentle reader..
Next came the Senatus Student
us which has been fulled by mys
ticus prospectivcus, all of good re
port, but all of the May falling
sickness and so completely unde
sirable. Realizing that good, could only
be served by repelling the forces
of mysticus, the trio decided to
cast out the small medium of re
spect which the organization had
been accorded and to transform
the Senatus Studentus into a temple
ruled, by a Vestal Maiden, who
was of good repute and endowed
with wisdom, but not well versed
in the ways of triumvirates or mys
tics. And so the Senatus Studentus
also lost favor as had the Senatus
Fraternitus and good, men no long

aid or did, for the sound mingled
with the fury and the fury was as
the wind which blows and blows
and yet says nothing.
But there are some who say that
all may yet be right and that even
as the Roman Triumvirate was
crumbled and scattered, so also,
is the Ivy Triumvirate soon to sep

longer cast darkness on the Uni
