New Ag Building Fully Occupied
Glass Encloses Biochem and Nutrition Home'
A new m i 1 1 i o n-dollar
structure complete with fa
cilities for studying the
"chemistry of life" is the
latest building completed
under the University build
ing program.
The home of the Agricul
ture College's department of
biochemistry and nutrition,
a sparkling, modernistic
three-story building disting
uished by its shimmering
glass facade, is located on
the eastern section of the
University's Ag campus.
Fully Occupied
Financed by a. special
state mill levy, the build
ing is now fully occupied by
teaching and research per
sonnel and students.
A faculty open house and
several large meetings arc
planned for the building
soon, with the formal dedi
cation slated for early next
spring.
Behind this glass facade,
biochemistry is studied.

Criticism
Chancellor Warns
Liberal Admission
Must Be Continued
Chancellor Clifford Hardin warned Friday that public
universities, in the face of growing demand for higher
education, must not forsake their policies of liberal ad
mission. . .
Delivering of the major addresses at the annual meet
ing of the Association of Governing Boards
of State Universities and Allied Institu
tions, held at Purdue University in La
fayette, Ind., he said:
The nation cannot tarn its back on its
dual mandate of "attending both the
quality and quantity needs of its people."
"We are hearing the argument that by
giving primary attention to the upper
echelons of our American scholastic strata,
higher education will be practicing sound
economy, will be avoiding a tremendous
waste of money, time, and
The Chancellor said,
'It
heard more than 150 years ago, at the very time this coun
try decided the opportunity for higher education should
not be limited to the academic elit- the social elite, or
the financial elite, but that it should be opened to 'all of
those able to make use of it.
."That is the decision upon which the public university
was founded, and that is the decision upon which the
public university must stand.
"It Is a decision which, by its very nature, rejects the
proposition that the students, his family, or some benevolent
benefactor shall necessarily be expected to pay in tuition
the full cost of his education. It embraces the philosophy
of public subsidy for both the student and the institution
he attends."
.To repeal that decision how would destroy one of the two
great pillars of Quality and Quantity upon which American
higher education has been constructed. Repeal would knock
away the pillar of Quantity and, in so doing, would
emasculate American higher education, he added.
"With the development of the public university, Amer
ica has established a pattern which continues to influence
educational efforts throughout the world," concluded the
Chancellor.

"To keep Nebraska in
step with the tremendous
development and changes
now occuring in the basic
sciences relating to agricul
ture" is the purpose of the
biochemistry and nutrition
department, Dr. Robert
Feeney, department chair
man said. i
In the final analysis, he
commented, the building is
but a symbol of the impor
tant work carried on in its
halls and laboratories.
The building will not only
serve as an important cen
ter, for graduate biochem
istry but also for cooperative
research with other depart
ments within the University.
The department was
formed in 1953, largely as a
result of the consolidation of.
the two former departments
of chemurgy and agricul

ed out.
The University is one of

develop' new farm crops
and new uses for crops. A
concrete step in this direc

of the department of bio

Essentially nine research
areas are carried out in the
department.
They are: carbohydrate
and enzyme research; phys

SC Judiciary Body to
On Charges Against
Gary Frenzel, chairman of

Nebraskan Policy

Edmond Belsheim, 'dean of
the Nebraska College of Law,
said Sunday he felt that the

Tribunal "has been most un
fair." One of two faculty judges

Closed
Tribunal
Is Backed
Four of the seven student
judges on the Tribunal indi
cated last weekend that they
believe in allowing students
appearing before the Tribunal
to have closed hearing if they
so desire.
The judges contacted in
cluded three senior class
judges, John Kinnier, L y 1 e
Hansen and Donald I b u r g,
and one junior class judge,
Judy Truell.

the fourth senior representa

tacted for interview.
Truell, who is Tribunal sec
retary, said she did not think
hearings "should be com
pletely open unless the stu
dent requests it.
Protection Questioned
She said there has been a
lot of argument about this
point. "Some say," she said,
"we are not here to protect
the student."
Kinnier said he is "basical
ly in favor of leaving it up
to the student involved." He

Tribunal were denials of the
paper's right to freedom of in
formation. 'Preliminary Step'
Belsheim said, however,
that appearance before the
group is a "preliminary step"
and not a court trial. He
stressed that its duty is "to
hold a hearing at which some
recommendation could be
made to the Dean of Student
Affairs."
"In types of cases where a
charge might be unfair, it is
not unusual to have closed
preliminary hearings," the
dean said. "As the by-laws
stand, the Student Tribunal or
the student being tried may
open a case to the public."
Theodore Aakhus, professor
of engineering drawing and
the other faculty judge, said
he felt the Nebraskan's edi
torial stand showed somewhat
of a lack of "consideration
for the individual."
"I often wonder if the de
fendant were you or I, if we
would want a public hearing,"
Aakhus said.
"1 would be very hesitant
to have an open hearing if the
student did not want it," the
professor added.
Tribunal's Decision .
J. Philip Colbert, dean of
the Division of Student Af
fairs, said he had
no
com -
mcnt on whether the meetings
of the Tribunal should be
open or closed. "That is a
matter of procedure to be de
cided by the Student Tri
bunal," he said.
Colbert also would not com
ment on the advisability of
review ing the by-laws that al
low meetings to be closed. He
emphasized that the Tribunal
charter gave the group the
right to establish its own
rules of procedure.
Phone interviews with Bel
sheim and Aakhus indicated
that eight male students have
appeared before the Tribunal
so far this year.
Belsheim said five persons
appeared at last Wednesday's
session of the Tribunal, and
three were present at the first
session two weeks earlier.
Four Cases Heard
Aakhus said that four cases
f some of them involving more
than one individual) had been
heard. These reportedly in
cluded "two liquor cases, one
pilfering I guess you'd call
it and one dismissal."
Neither Belsheim or Aak
hus reported the recommend
ed disposition of these cases
as proposed by the Tribunal,
which also consists of seven
student judges. This includes
one student from the College
of Law, two juniors and four
seniors from the University
at large.
Belsheim said the Tribunal
meets every other Wednesday
and holds special sessions as
Wednesday, he added, the
judges will hold a special ses
sion to hear cases recom
mended to the group by the
Dean of Student Affairs.
Complaint Filed
He reported that before a
student appears" before the
Tribunal, the student is called
into the Division of Student
Affairs office as the result of
a complaint being filed
against him. The dean gets
a statement from the student
and decides if the case should
be transferred to the Tribunal.
Belsheim said that if the
case is' sent to the Tribunal,
the student is notified by the
Tribunal as to the time of his
hearing. At the. hearing, the
student is reportedly notified
of the charges against him,
his prepared statement is
read aloud and he is given
the opportunity to comment
i further on his case.
I Belsheim reported that at
the eieht hearings this year
j there has been no question as
1 to the facts of the cases.

working in the best interests
of the students, while at th
same time upholding the laws
of the state and University,"
Frenzel said.
He said that "since it was
primarily through the efforts
of the Student Council during
the past two years that the
Tribunal was established, this
year's Council is obligated to
do what it can to help the
tribunal through its initial
year."
His action was taken in the
wake of adverse criticism by
Tribunal's rules of procedure
which have thus far resulted
in the Tribunal's hearings be
ing closed to the public.
Planned Review
Frenzel said Article III, sec
lion l.g. of the Council's con
stitution stipulates that it is
enpowered "to exercise other
powers that may benefit the
student body." He said this is
the regulation which gives the
Council the right to make the
planned review.
It was emphasized that the
meeting would be "merely to
ascertain the facts" of the
operation of the Tribunal and

that the Council had no di
rect authority over the Tri
bunal's decisions.
"The Tribunal seemingly
has been unnecessarily curt
and the Nebraskan perhaps
has been a bit severe in its re
actions," the judiciary com
mittee chairman said.
Open Hearings Favored
Frenzel said that he
personally believed that all
Tribunal hearing should be
open to the publi nless the
student requested writing
that they be closer, and the
reasons for his request were
felt justified by the Tribunal.
He added that Article VII of
: the Tribunal Charter said:
"The Student Council with the
approval of the student body
may prepare amendments to
the University Faculty Senate
Committee on Student Af
fairs." Frenzel, who is also Coun
cil vice president, cited the
lack of "check and balance"
on the Tribunal under the
present system.

diciary committee are: Law
