Tribunal
(Compiles
Rulings
Committee Clarifies
Two Alternatives
"Indefinite probation" and
"indefinite- suspension" con
duct rulings were explained
to the Student Council last
week.
The explanation, complied
by the Student Tribunal com
' mittee, was made at the re
quest of the Council in order
to clarify the difference be
tween the two rulings.
Jim Samples, chairman of
the committee, explained the
penalities applied in two gen
eral areas: morals and psy
chiatric cases of a severe na
ture and cases in which the
student has, a record of re
peated conduct violations.
To date, the Student Tri
bunal has never recommended
either of these punishments.
Any penalty rulings of these
types have been imposed by
the Division of Student Affairs
in cases which the Student
Tribunal does not handle or
in addition to a penalty recom
mended by the Tribunal.
Samples reported "indefin
ite pro" was used in cases
which warranted more severe
punishment than conduct pro
bation but did not merit sus
pension from the University.
Irresponsibility to the Univer
sity and repeated violations
are the main violations
prompting "indefinite pro"
rulings.
The period the ruling re
mains in effect varies accord
ing to the circumstances of
the case and the attitude ot
the defendant.
"Indefinite suspension" is
used In cases requiring more
serious penalty than ordinary
suspension, which requires
that the student leave the Uni
versity for a set p e r i o d of
time.
An "indefinite suspension"
ruling sets a definite date
when the defendant may apply
for re-admission.

Zen Paintings Make U.S.
By Dave Wohlfarth '
An exhibition of ten paintings by the
Japanese painter, Kokuta Suda, opened
last Wednesday in the University Art Gal
leries. The exhibition marks the first time
Suda's paintings have been shown in the
United States. The exhibition was ar
ranged by Sachio Ashida, a friend of the
artist and a graduate student at theUni
versity. The Zen paintings, located on the sec
ond floor of Morrill Hall, are the first of
their type to be exhibited at the Art Gal
leries, according to Norman Geske, direc
tor of the Art Galleries.
Geske commented, "We welcome the op
portunity to show these new pictures
here." He added that the exhibition would
last until Mar. 12.
Failed Five Times
Suda ranks among Japan's best known
contemporary artists. He began his ca
reer as an artist upon completion of his
high school education, but on five consecu
tive occasions he failed to pass the en
trance examinations of Tokyo's leading art
school.
In his early twenties he became a pupil
of the Zen masters of the temple of Heir
inji and in particular of the painter Mineo
zenshi. In 1930 his work was selected for the
first time to be included In the exhibition
of the Japan Art Association and was
awarded a place In the restricted category
of superior excellence.
Suda's paintings were awarded this
"blue ribbon" honor for thirteen years,
after which he received the top honors in

Unicameral
Defeats
Tax Clinic
The Unicameral has defeat

Sen. John Adams to partici
pate in a tax clinic to be ar
ranged for the legislators by
the University.
The Adams motion request
ed that Chancellor Clifford
Hardin be asked to arrange a
clinic lasting at least two days
and held sometime before
mid-March.
"We need teaching on the
problems of taxation in the
state," he said. "The Univer
sity has some of the leading
scholars of America."
The motion drew little de
bate. Sen. Hans Jensen of
Aurora, principal Introducer
of a combination sales-income
tax bill conceded that "the
University has experts in the
field, but I have more confi
dence In others."
Jensen referred to such per
sons as former tax commis
sioner Fred Herringtonv now
with the Nebraska Citizens
Council, and Tax Commission
er Forrest Johnson as persons
who could "provide any in
formation needed."

Concept of Adult Education
Center Offers
Higher Learning
By Jim Forrest
In keeping with the concept of adult education through
out the United States, individuals) and groups will look upon
the Nebraska Center for Continuing Education as a place
where education can be continued, regardless of the level of
previous schooling.
Arthur B. Ward, director of the University's department
of conferences and institutes said the Nebraska Center's adult
wing was constructed and will be maintained to help adults:
meet, successfully, tne
ever increasing-complexity of
20th century living;
broaden concepts and
perspectives;
acquire new skills and
abilities;
reinforce skills once
learned and abilities once de
veloped. Chancellor Clifford M. Har
din said recently, "A single
period of formal education,
even if it includes college, is
no longer enough to serve
throughout a productive life
time." Unlimited Resources
The Nebraska Center has
unlimited resources for mak
ing the adult citizen's partic
ipation in a program of con
tinuing education a memora
ble and valuable one, accord
ing to Dr. Ward, who is re
sponsible for directing and
planning the adult wing of
the Nebraska Center.
Dr. Ward stated that au
thorities and experts from
every walk of life can be ob
tained for a Nebraska Cen
ter program. Where local ex
perts are available, be they
professors, researchers or
laymen, they will provide
educational leadership.
In addition, Dr. Ward's of
fice is in constant touch with
experts and outstanding
speakers should the confer
ees wish to obtain the serv
ices of leading authorities
from other institutions and
from ajl walks of life who
may not be available locally.
"The adult wing of the Ne
braska Center will provide
the groups with the most ad
vanced teaching and learn
ing aids," said Dr. Ward.
Access to Facilities

His work has been seen outside Japan
in exhibitions in Italy and Brazil and has
been invited to the Carnegie International
in Pittsburgh later this year. -
Late last year, Tominaga and Sakanishi,
two of Japan's best known art critics in
cluded Suda's work among the five best
Japanese oil paintings of the year.
Suda's philosophy explains the specific
characters of his pictures.
"In this small collection of paintings, I
have tried to remove everything and tried
to express nothingness as existence but
not nothingness as emptiness," he said.
"I believe that we can embrace every
thing after we penetrate the mysteries of
Zen. Hence, these paintings do not have
titles," Suda said.
Hen continued, 'My purpose of life is to
understand reality precisely. Reality, real
reality cannot be understood by the im
mature, primitive, dreamy, or drunk
' states, but it can be grasped at once, in
- instantaneously, by one in a state of self
realization!" '
"Freedom it has no boundary, and
exists indefinitely with infinite time. It has
no restriction and no authority. It is dyna
mic, and yet always parting," Suda said,
"being solitary and individualistic; It has
distinction and no fixation. White, black,
yellow, red everybody participates,
everybody lives, nobody ever denies any
body else: a perfect harmony. This is
freedom."
ranked as the fourth most ex
pensive in the state.
This was an incorrect list
ing because the. other col
leges did not include the other
typical expenses for a nine
month period and all the fees
which are included in the tui
tion of the University, said
Dr. Forrest who is also the
assistant to the Dean of the
audio - visual and teaching
aids and public address sys
tem, the Center will have
access to federal, state and
University film libraries and
films from ,the National Edu
cation Television network as
well as many produced by
trade, industrial and non
profit organizations, he said.
The Center, which was fi
nanced by a $1.5 million
grant from the Kellogg Foun
dation and over $1 million
from personal and business
gifts from Nebraskans, will
offer study and living facili
ties for adult groups attend
ing exploratory conferences
or concentrated workshops.
"T h e facilities available
can accommodate a commit
tee of -three or groups -of 50,
100 or 300 and more, all in a
learning atmosphere, be the
group businessmen, farmers,
physicians, teachers, home
makers or candlestick mak
ers," Dr. Ward said.
The Nebraska Center plan
ners have made certain that
the conveniences needed by
busy people away from their
homes and businesses for just
a day or for one or two weeks
are "built in," according to
Dr. Ward, including parking
space for over 300 cars.
Privacy, Comfort
In the hotel, the Nebraska
Center can accommodate 196
guests in 9 air conditioned
rooms, sleeping two persons
each, and each with a private
bath and closet space, to as
sure the adult student of pri
vacy, comfort and relaxed
study atmosphere.
Dr. Ward pointed out that,

Division of Student Affairs.
Dr. Forrest figured the
costs for one private college,
Nebraska Wesleyan Univer
sity, and a state teacher's col
lege, Chadron, to illustrate
how wrong the previous list
ing was. . -Wesleyan
Tuition
A figure of $570 for tuition
at Wesleyan was arrived at
after including the number of
fees that the University lists.
Room and board at Wesleyan
runs $580 for a year. The total
for those two figures alone is
$1,150.
With the addition of $510 for
other expenses such as laun
dry, dry cleaning, personal
care, clothes, capital expen
ditures, entertainment, recre
ation, travel, books, and in
structional supplies the total
is $1,660, quite a bit more than
the previously listed figures
of $1,100.
In addition to the $1,660,
charges are also made for
musical instruction at Wes
leyan, The total cost for attending
Chadron is much more than
the listed figures of $758, said
Dr. Forrest.
All Fees
Instead of the $180 for tui
tion as listed the figure
would come -much closer to
$250 after including all fees
Glenny Gains Support
Forrest: Increase
Regents Scholarships
By Nancy Whitford
University scholarship director, Dr. Aubrey Forrest, has
recommended that Regents Scholarships be increased from
$100 to $180 to cover full tuition expense.
This would not cover an additional $80 in student fees,
such as Student Health and -Student Union, which can not be
paid with tax monies, he said. i
The increase represents
portion of the University's
"easily iustifiable need" for
an additional $300,000 in schol
arship funds during the com
ing school year, Forrest said.
This compares with about
$170,000 which is offered now.
It would aid approximately 20
per cent of the student body
or "those who are in the up
per half of their class and

Woodard Backs
Glenny Proposal
Francis Woodard, instruct
or in economics, has support
ed a recommendation by Dr.
Lyman A. Glenny that Ne
braska refrain from the estab
lishment of a state scholar
ship program until the level
of finances in other areas of
educational spending be
raised.
Woodard said he did not
feel such a scholarship pro
gram could be justified at
this time on the basis of
"granting the "greatest
amount of social benefit."
"There would definitely be
a social and individual bene
fit from such a program, but
other areas of education
should receive priority,"
Woodard said.
Glenny has. recommended
that increased spending be
allotted to faculty, salaries
and library facilities at the
University.
Faculty Writes
For Reference
Three University faculty
members will "be among the
new contributors to the 1961
edition of the "Encyclopedia
Britanica."
" Robert E. Larson, professor
of actuarial science, collabor
ated with other authorities to
produce the article "Life In
surance." Stanley R. Ross, associate
professor of history wrote two
articles: "Guerrero, Vincente
and Madero" and '"Francisco
mdalecio."
Rudolph M. Sandstedt, pro
fessor of chemistry, wrote
"Tapioca."
The articles written by the
University are among the
10.000 reviewed for the new
edition.
The new edition of the en
cyclopedia is the largest re
vision of the famed reference
work in a generation.
that the Uiversity includes
such as Student Health, news
paper, and lab fees. The cost
of those fees is not even
listed in the catalog, Dr. For
rest said.
Chadron's bulletin lists the
cost of room and board as
$558 for the year. However,
this figure only includes 14
meals a week which run from
Monday through Friday noon.
"I didn't even "igure in the
extra cost of meals in the
$558," Dr. Forrest said.
Additional charges are
made to music students in the
state teachers colleges, - said
Dr. Forrest.
Other Expenses
The addition of $250 for tui
tion and fees plus $558 for
room and board and an ad
ditional $510 for other ex
penses total $1,318.
Figures for the University
are $240 for tuition and fees,
$600 for room and board, and
$510 for other expenses which
come to $1,350.
All the above figures'
were taken from the cat a
logs for the 1959-1960 'ear.
Nebraska Wesleyan has raised
its flat rate for the cost of a
credit hour and the Univer
sity has had an additional
raise of fees that will make
the tuition and fees $264, said
Dr. Forrest.
have a definite financial
need."
Forrest, in making the es
timate, supported the Glenny
proposal that Nebraska re
frain from establishment of a
state scholarship program
"but for different reasons."
Glenny, in his controversial
report on the Nebraska higher
education situation, suggested
the state first wait "until the
general level of financial sup
port for public institutions has
been substantially raised."
Forrest cited "outside su
pervision" as his -chief argu
ment against state scholar
ships. "Scholarship funds should
be increased, but they should
also be administered by the
schools themselves rather
than a commission as in Cali
fornia and other states with
similar scholarship pro
grams," said Forrest.
The scholarship director la
beled Glenny's contentio as
"erroneous" and that Re
gents Scholarship qualifying
tests had been extended to an
additional margin of high
school students, "in order to
obtain enough students to
whom grants could be made."
"An estimated $100,000 was
required to meet the needs
of all entering freshmen this
year, while only $23,000 was
available," said Forrest. The
amount was supplemented
with work scholarships and
loans. "We have never had
any trouble finding a need
for our scholarship funds," he
continued.
University administrators
say the Regents tests were
offered to students in the up
per third of their high school
class rather than only the
upper fourth primarily be
cause principals requested it.
The move was designed to
aid math and science stu
dents whose averages might
be a little lower; students in
large schools who face
greater competition odds;
"late bloomers" who work to
raise their average during
senior year and the regis
trar's office which thus ob
tains Information on an addi
tional 300-400 students with
college potential.
Forrest predicts that future
trends in scholarship financ
ing will stem from increased
alumni donations, increased
action from the federal gov
ernment and "possiblv more
from private sources."
"We do not expect state
scholarship financing to in
crease greatly ' in Nebraska,
although this certainly does
not mean we would not wel
come it," he said.
