McKinnon Says
Crack 'Accident9
One casualty was reported
for the Student Union week
end. Glass was cracked in one
of the doors at the north
front entrance to the build
ing. Union Activities Director
William McKinnen speculated
that the glass had been broken
when the door handle hit the
brace from the window after
someone had gone out too fast.
"The weight of the door then
probably just caused the glass
to b r e a k," he explained.
"We're sure that it was an

The Tribunal charter was
first approved by the Board
of Regents April 1 of last
year and later by the student
body in an election during
registration last September.
Last year the judges heard
cases on trespassing, drink
ing, illegal possession of al
cohol and pilfering, plus the
case of a student who set
fire to several Homecoming
displays.
No Hearings Slated
Chairman Kelley said no

vlded they present a written
request to the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs two days before.
According to the charter, they
may be represented by coun
sel if desired.
The Tribunal does not take
disciplinary action itself, but
submits the recommendations
to the Dean of Student Af
fairs, according to its char
ter. Tribunai Recommendations
Recommendations are ex
pulsion, suspension, conduct
probation, conduct warning or
dismissal of the case.
Dean of Student Affairs J.
P. Colbert said appeals on
conduct warning are tub-
mitted to a five-member sub
committee of the office of st
dent affairs, the social af
fairs and activity committee.
For suspension, which
means the student could be
removed from school for the
balance of the semester or
an indefinite period of time,
a student appeals to the Fac
ulty Senate committee on su
spension. No Appeal for Expulsion
There is no appeal for ex
pulsion, usually an action
taken by the Board of Re
gents. Commenting on the first
year success of the Tribunal,
Dean Colbert called the plan
a "wonderful step forward in
student self government."
"Succeeding Tribunals may
change some procedures, ac
cording to experience, but
considering last year's Tribu
nal started from scratch, I
think they did a fine job,"
Colbert added.
Appear Before Peers
"A student finding himself
in difficulty now has a right
to appear before a body of
his peers and this is good,"
the Dean, continued.
Before, the Dean of Student
Affairs made rulings without
recommendations from a stu
dent group. Students still had
the right to appeal.
Open Meeting
For Debaters
Planned Tuesday
All students interested in
participating in intercollegiate
debate should attend the first
debate meeting Tuesday at 4
p.m. in Temple 210.
Students who cannot attend
the meeting but would like to
participate may contact Don
Olson or Bruce Kendall of the
speech department. Previous
exoerience is unnecessary.
The national debate ques
tion this year is "Resolved:
That Congress should be given
power to reverse derisions of
thf Supreme Court."
The national discussion
question is "What should be
the roll of government in
regulating organized labor?"

tudents Should Be
To Name Union, Says Foote
By Jacque Janecek
The University student
body might have had a chance
to vote on the new name,
Nebraska Union, for the Stu
dent Union if one Regent
had had his way Friday night.
Frank Foote of Axtell spoke
out strongly against a pro
posal by the Union Board to
change the name, arguing,
"The building is paid for by
all the students. Let them de
cide the name."
Greenburg Comments
When Dr. B. N. Greenburg
of York commented that the
seven-member board was rep
resentative of the entire en
rollment and its proposal
should be approved, Foote
balked.
"Union Board members are

Opening Ceremony Held in Rain
Happy smiles and gay

day. From the north patio, short
speeches were given by repre
sentatives of the various bod
ies that brought the Union

Representing the Board of
Managers was Milton Ander

fund raising board for the Un

cribed the three stages of Un

Union Opening Draws
Estimated 15 Thousand
An estimated 15 thousand
people toured the Student Un
ion during its weekend open
ing Friday and Saturday.
Union Director Allen Ben
nett said that between five
and six thousand people vis
ited Friday, and Saturday's
crowdi was between eight and
10 thousand.
"We were more than
pleased, both with reactions
to the activity of the building
and response to the appear
ance of it," Bennett said.
A good alumni turnout was
seen Saturday, Bennett add
ed. "The Four Aces said that
they had never played to such
a responsive audience," he
said, explaining that all of
the entertainers enjoyed

work," he said.
Other Regents, however, ap
proved the Union Board's pro
posal, pointing out that many
student centers assume the
name of the state, not the
students.
Student Opinion
Foote, who said 11 students
had approached him person
ally to disagree with the name
change, said in rebuttal that
other unions named were fi
nanced through memorials
and contributions, not by stu
dents as Nebraska's.
After the vote another Re
gent said, "Students will still
call it the 'Student Union'
anyway."
The Union Board had sub
mitted the proposal changing
the name in conjunction with
the opening of the new $1.3
million addition Friday.
Foote was again the only
dedication of the present
building.
Socrates
W. W. Keenen, representing
the architects who designed
the building, Leo A. Daly Co.,
quoted Socrates.
"If I could get to the high
est place of Athens, I would
lift up my voice and say
'what mean ye fellow citizens
that ye turn every stone to
scrape wealth (together and
children to whom you must
one day relinquish all.' "
Keenen concluded, "I think
if Socrates were here he would
have been very proud and
very happy of the Regents of
the University of Nebraska
who have made this place
available to their children."

stu-
dents and the school.
"In fact, we've almost in
duced them to take on college
show dates again," he said.
The quartet plays largely
to nightclub audiences.
Bennett said that crowds at
both the Four Aces and Cy
Touff performances were
standing room only.
"Friday's crowd at the
Touff performance was good,
but Saturday's was packed,"
he said.
"But most important, I
think everyone had a good
time!"

Serves in Navy
The first two years after
graduation from Muskateen,
Iowa, high school, Bennett
served in the Navy in the
School of Electrical Training.
Then with the idea and hope
of being a physical education
major he entered the Univer
sity of Iowa and for three se
mesters was a gymnist and
weight lifter.
But previous soda jerk ex
perience left an urge for food
so after finding the coaching
field not his interest, he en
tered the School of Hotel and
Restaurant Manage
ment. Then came positions as
cook in the Cosmopoliton Ho
tel in Denver and the Univer

The work on a campus gave
a feeling of satisfaction and

which approved loosening
competition requirements for
Regents scholarships. In the
past, the test was taken by
only the top quarter of high
school senior classes. But now
it will be open to the upper
third.
An estimated 1,000 addi
tional students will be af
fected by the action.
Defeat Purpose
Foote called it a "backward
step" and said he thought the
Regents were defeating their
purpose of raising standards.
Majority opinion, however,
was that many students, ac
tive in organizations or who
had high potential but low
grades, were prevented from
taking the tests.
Regents also voted to allo
cate $8,526 to the National
Defense Sudent Loan Fund,
Board of Regents President
Clarence Swanson congratu
lated the student body for
having made "such a wonder
ful contribution," and stated
that the Union is "really
your own no taxpayer
money involved. This is your
own monument."
He then turned the building
over the Chancellor.
Hardin accepted on behalf
of the faculty and the stu
dents and presented the build
ing to Miss Mary Jane Mul
vaney, President of the Un
ions Board of Managers.
- "I am pleased now to go
through the motion of hand
ing the keys to you, knowing
that this is a significant ad
dition to the wholesome rec
reation facilities on this
campus and culural cener,"
Hardin finished.
Miss Mulvaney then intro
duced the new Manager of
the Union, Allen Bennett.
Pledge
Speaking for the staff of
the union, Bennett replied,
"I would like to make to you,
the users and owners of this
building, a pledge of service,
stating to you we will dili
gently discharge our duties
and responsibilities to you to
the very best of our abilities."
The ribbon across the doors
was then cut by Jack Niel
sen, president of the Student
Council; Lyle Young, secre
tary of the Faculty Senate;
and Allan Williams of Scotts
bluff, national president of the
University Alumni Associa
tion. Directoi
Only for a six-month per
iod has he been in private
business since entering the
university field. For that time
he managed a drive-in res
taurant. The job as Assistant Di
rector of the Union in Ne
braska since 1954 has not
been one of short hours. Ben
nett spent the first 40 days
here without a day off and
hours ranged from 70 to 80 a
week.
This has been somewhat re
lieved with additional trained
and professional staff people.
Likes Student Work
He says that he'll never
consider another field than
that of student work. The Un
ion, he says, provides anoth
er education unit to the 120
130 students that are m
ployed part time during each
semester.
"It is gratifying to see
many develop from rela
tively insecure feshmen to
competent seniors," he said.
Bennett said the job also
offers good times like that of
the Union opening when he
and his staff grabbed mops,
vacuums and window spray
to assist the janitors in doing
a day's cleaning job in two
hours.
"The managing staff is es
pecially grateful to the de
partments which helped push
things along to make the
the opening ' date possible,
namely Purchasing, Union
Stores, Building and Grounds,
Job Pool and the Business
Manager and Comptroller,"
he added.

Larson bequest and $550.52
from the Campbell Soup Com
pany grant.
Members noted the import
ance of the two unrestricted
funds, saying they were very
vital to the program of the
institution.
Under terms of the original
National Defense Education
agreement, the University is
required to match contribu
tions with at least one-ninth
of the federal funds. So far
a total of $136,032 has been
received since March and an
other $37,948 will anive in
January. The University has
paid matching funds totalling
$15,115.
Make Approvals
Regents also approved 51
resignations and 57 full time
appointments, including that
of Emory P. Burnett in the
College of Law, who replaces
Associate Professor Merton
Bernstein.
Bernstein resigned July 3
after a hassle between the
Law School and the legisla
ture last spring.
Burnett, who also teaches
law in the College of Busi
ness Administration, handled
the Roman Review Committee
for the legislature and is a
former assistant bill drafter.
The appointments of two as
sistants to the dean of Teach
ers College were also ap
proved. Long-time members of the
college, Dr. Norman F,
Thorpe and Dr. Wesley C.
Meierhenry, are assuming
their duties immediately.
Dr. Thorpe, associate pro
fessor of secondary education
and principal of University
High School, will be in charge
of admissions and certifica
tion and the director of
teacher training. He has been
with the University since 1951.
Dr. Meierhenry, professor
of school administration and
history as well as coordinator
of Teacher Placement, will
manage the advanced profes
sional division. He has been
on the staff since 1943.
Regents also formally ap
pointed Allen Bennett direc
tor of the Student Union, re
placing Duane Lake, who re
signed. Bennett had served
as assistant director for four
years.
Research grants totalling
$18,919 were approved by the
Regents. Training grants
came to $30,200 and fellow
ship grants approved at tile
first Regents meeting since
early July were $3,380.

The use of this tape allows
for unlimited editing of both
