Colbert Says Discipline Not Decided Game Celebralors Found In Field Disciplinary action for 26 University students who cele brated Nebraska's win over Oklahoma with a beer party is awaiting further investiga tion. J. P. Colbert, Dean of Stu dent Affairs, said Tuesday the students would be summoned to his office soon, so that the investigations could get un der way. No Other Action So far no other action has been taken and parents have not been notified, Colbert said. He received the reports from County Sheriff Merle Karnopp's office Tuesday af ternoon. The students, 25 of whom were under 21, were appre hended by three sheriff's deputies- Monday at 2:30 p.m. near Emerald. The deputies were making a routine check of county roads when they noticed the party in a corn field. They had not been sum moned to the spot, the report said. They confiscated about 30 cans and bottles of beer. The students were not held, but their names were refer red along with the report to the campus police, who turned the matter over to the office of Student Affairs. Tribunal Not Sure Colbert declined to say whether the matter would be brought before the Student Tribunal. . According to the Dean, this is the only complaint he has received' of student miscon duct during the one-day vacation. . i Dixielanders Jazz I If (j '$!'
