Migrating Habits
Classify Species
"By Carroll Kraus
Today, bird lovers, we
will consider the strange
migratory habits of the
LornnusKer nira. ouiervwe
known as the avis nebras
kensis. This two-legged scarlet
and cream creature strives
in any way air, land or
rail to follow or even to
precede, about 40 other
large nebraskensises who
go south, or more often
west and south, to contact
other large athletic type
birds on a field of battle.
Although these avis ne
braskensises follow in the
general direction of the
larger of their group, they
all rin not see their large,
athletic members display
their talents.
Many would sooner join
other avis nebraskensises
i mostly of the male variety t
in rather dark and crowded
sanctuaries, where they
gain their fill of eat and
drink and dnnk alter the
long journey.

Rag Editorial Policy
Restrictions Charged
Hines GeU Written Statement
From Shugrtie, Shnltz, Raoco
Three Daily Nebraskan columnists have resigned after
charging that they have been restricted in "remarks con
cerning this newspaper and its alleged editorial policy."
The three are Dick Shugrue, Dick Basoco and Steve
Schulti. Shugrue was editor of the Daily Nebraskan during
the spring semester of WoT-iWl. I
Their statement reads. 'Ye
are forced to tender our resig
nations as columnists of this
alleged newspaper due to
treatment which one of our
number has received at the
hands of the alleged editor."

! Recommendations
! The Student Council judi
jciary committee will present
I a recommendation for the
Student Tribunal to the Coun
cil executive committee
I today.
: The committee proposed
'vesterdav that the Tribunal

i cernin? their functions.
: Plan Action
j Gary Frer.zel. chairman of
ithe committee, said that he
jwill disenss the Monday re-
j view of the Tribunal with the
officers and ask for recom-
i mendations for a
plan of
action.
The Conncil mav set no a
committee to stndv the Tri
bunal, said Frenrel, but any
change in t h e present ar
rangement would have U be
written to and oassed by the
Council. It would then be sub
ject t a student vote between
semesters.
The Tribunal Charter gives
authority to its members to
establish rules of procedure.
Closed meetings, which have
been recently questioned by
some students, are included
in the rules of procedure.
Possible Amendment
Frenzel added that tle
Charter would possibly have
to be chanced before open
! meetings would be permitted.
jThe Charter can be amended
only by the Board of Regents
unon recommendation of the
University Faculty Senate
Committee on Student Af
fairs. Joe Baldwin, chairman of
the Student Tribunal, turn
mented "If the students don't
understand our function, we
will trv to explain our proce
dure."' He added that the manner
in which this would be car
ried out would have to be
taken up with the Tribunal
as a whole.
"It's too early," said Bald
fin, to set up precedents to

have tried too few cases and
it would be too soon after the
cases have been considered
and they could be connected

These schools of birds

Ilowever, after several

the nebraskensis are rather

feathered friends become
rather fine-withered after
they spend several days of

thin arid atmosphere.
But all of the nebras
kensises don't engage in the
same migratory pattern
each year. Sometimes they
find that after a westward
migration, their feathers
need a little unruffling and

the. charge referred to his re
fusal lo allow Basoco to write
articles criticizing the paper
n the grounds that as a col
umnist it was his duty to work
for improvement of the paper.
Hines said he told Basoco
that "no newspaper on earth
would allow one of it col
umnists to attack the integ
rity of the paper." He added
that he told Basoco he could
write articles which did not
agree with the Nebraskan's
policy, but that these articles
should constructively point
out why he believed as he
did. They should not be mere

process.
The editor reported that he

Schultz
told Basoco if he wanted to
attack the integrity of the Ne
braskan he would have to re
sign and could then subnut
his stand in a Lettenp, which
would be printed. Hines said
he refused, however, to allow
a columnist who should be
working in behalf of a paper
to destroy integrity of the
paper by defamatory re
marks. Shugrue's Policy
The resignations, the editor
said, came as a surprise. He
said that be wai specifically
surprised by the action of
Shngrue who originated the
policy last spring when sev
eral columnists attacked him
after a critical review of a
j play presented by the Univer
sity Theatre.
Hines said that at that time
Shugrue refused to permit
Steve Schultz to write articles
criticizing the editor or the
paper, and also to attack fel
low columnists, nines added
that Shugrue also stressed
this policy to Basoco and Sara
Jones. An article by Jones,
which criticized the Nebras
kan, w as not printed on order
of Shugrue. Jones, Hiaes
said, refused to submit furth
er columns.
