"As they did when we sent delegates to the CCUN in New York City, the Ameri can Association on the United Nations of Lincoln has of fered to help in financing the delegate's cost to the Model UN," said Buckley. In the report of University delegates on the CCUN, his tory graduate student Art Hughes said that "It was ap parent that if we (the dele gates) were to brin? anv- thing back from the CCUN, our first obligation would be to better inform ourselves and our fellow students nn the real force of the UN in the world for peace." inis is necessary if we are to disnel the 'iwinspnep' about the UN and world poli tics wnicn exists today on campus," Hughes added. Senior representative Ftnr bara Tanner said that she was most impressed with the CCUN for the personal tact it allowed with world leaders and personalities. "The extreme poise and af fluence of international am. bassadors and delegates in our language more than anves nome the point of Neh ru that we cannot iudra th international student or rep resentative by our standards, but by their standards," Sam ples added. Elgart Moves to Bar Evidence; Contends Police Violated Rights Les Elgart, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of pos sessing narcotic drugs, has filed a motion in Lancaster County Court "to suppress evidence' Elgart's attorney, Dale Wahrnbruch, stated that po lice officers violated state and federal constitutions in enter ing and searching his hotel room in search of evidence without a search warrant or prior lawful arrest. According to the motion, the evidence should be returned to Elgart because it was "un reasonably, illegally and un constitutionally seized." The motion states that the police officers violated El gart's rights under one or more of four amendments to the United States Constitution. It proposes that anv evi dence obtained from him or his hotel room while he was 'unreasonably, u n 1 a wfullv and unconstitutionally de tained," at the Lincoln Police station, Nov. 4 and Nov. 5, should not be allowed as evi dence in any judicial action. Elgart and six of his band members were arrested after playing at the University Homecoming dance. T h e v were charged with illegal pos session of marijuana and heroin. The six band members pleaded guilty, while Elgart pleaded innocent. The United States Supreme Court made a ruling June 19 that states, "all evidence ob tained by search and seizure in violation of the constitution is, by that same authority, in admissable in a state court." Prior to this ruling, federal provisions on search and seizure had been held not to apply to state courts. The Fourth amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that: "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be vio lated." Evidence that is obtained in violation of this provision is inadmissable in federal court. Nebraska courts, have ad mitted evidence that was ob tained in violation of the pro vision prior to the Supreme Courts ruling.

Navy and Air Force queens, elected prior to tne Bail by kotc cadets, Students in Card Section To Assume Cost of Loss Flake, Flake, More Flcflte A flash snow storm has ended the weeks of Indian summer on campus in less than 12 hours. Lincoln was blanketed with five inches of snow and more than -two inches of moisture between 6 p.m. Wednesday and 6 a.m. Thursday. Most of the campus population awoke to a glistening white world Thursday morn ing as contrasted to the barren trees and shrubs seen only a few hours before. The grand entrance of winter brought more than a welcomed change of scenery, however. The wet and heavy snow played a direct part in the crash of an Air Force B-47 jet aircraft and the subsequent death of four Air Force officers, several auto mobile accidents and a multitude of col lapsing power and telephone lines. A large section of the campus went without electricity after 2 a.m. Thursday morning. Traffic on most streets was slow but passable. Both city snow plows and power line repairmen worked throughout the flight. The Lincoln U.S. Weather Bureau has forecast some blowing and drifting snow for Friday. However, most of the snow continues to melt and flood the streets with slush and running water despite near freezing temperatures. Although forecasts for this weekend have not been confirmed, the weatherman said the temperatures might climb to the high thirties. Loyal Husker football fans can expect a long, cold afternoon under cloudy to partially cloudy skies Saturday afternoon when Nebraska plays host to Colorado. The game two years ago was played in 14 degree weather with gusting winds up to 25 m.p.h. Despite all the damage done by the snow, there is one good result noted on campus. At least one fraternity pledge class welcomed the falling flakes. They piled their frosh beanies in the snow and burned the stack to the ground, proving the old adage: "It's an ill wind that doesn't blow someone some good." No action will be taken against the houses throwing up c a r d s in the Nebraska Kansas game if a donation is made by each affected stu dent to cover their cost stated Jav Graf. Corn Cob chairman of the card section. Three hundred sets of cards were lost or destroyed at the game. These sets cost $4 a set which brought the total cost to $1,200, said Graf. J. P. Colbert, Dean of Stu dent Affairs, was chairman of the meeting attended by house representatives, presi dent of Panhellenic, members of the athletic department and president of IFC. The group met following the show ing of the movies of the card section on Wednesday eve ning. The members of the ath letic department, who origi nally paid for the cards, will contribute $2O0 towards the cost of replacing them. The $1,000 will come from the fra ternities and sororities which sat in the section and threw cards. It was proposed at the meet ing that a donation of $ .75 is collected from every person sitting m the section. This proposal will be voted on at a meeting to be held after Thanksgiving vacation. The Corn Cobs and Tassels would collect from the Kernals. The cost of the cards will not be taken out of the $50 deposit given by the organ ized houses at the beeinnine of the football season. This deposit is only encroached no on if the house does not fill the section or holds ud the wrong card. The Independent's represen tative said that they would take responsibility for the Kernal section, if it were to be entirely filled with Inde pendents. will also be announced at the coronation ceremonies. , The Honorary Commandant and the three service queens will take part in formal ROTC parades, inspections and the presentation of awards and citations to the ROTC cadets during the com ing year.

These Eirls will be present ed to the student bodv and football fans at the Nebras ka-Colorado football game tomorrow. The coeds decided to wear floor-length gowns in order to make the event more social and formal than ever before. These eirls iust finished a series of TV performances on the Wayne West show. These appearances were courtesy of KOLN-TV and provided a greater public awareness and interest in the Military Ball. The Air Force ROTC ca dets are sponsoring the ball. IFC Won't Assess For Ball The Inter-fraternity Council (IFC) will not assess houses or their members for the IFC Ball, to be held April 7 as the climax of Greek Week, ac cording to IFC president Don Ferguson, after Wednesday night s meeting. Last year each fraternity man was charged $2.35 in or der pi pay for the ball. This year's dance, which will be held at Pershing Au ditorium, will be financed solely by ticket sales. Tickets wQI be $2.50 per couple and any deficit will be paid for out of the IFC treasury. The council voted to limit the amount spent for a band to $2,500 leaving the selection up to the affairs committee and the executive council. The Treasurer's report gave the October income as $2,806.30 with expenses at $557.74. The income and ex penditures plus the balance of $3,555.90 cives a balance brought forward for Nov. 1 as $5,804.46. Dr. Robert Nelson of the Geology department was named as the new IFC ad visor. Dr. Nelson is starting his second year at the Uni versity. He received his Ph. D. from the University or wasnington and did his un dergraduate work at Oregon State University. Pi o OA fl (if ?

Marvel said Dr. Peter-' son related that a land grant -university has a three way ' ' r o 1 e research, on-campus teaching and off-campus education through the exten sion division.

Marvel said tbe explanation establishes that "mis is not a new activity, but one conducted throoj?a the framework of the University's regular educational approaclu Marvel said: "Any discus sion of tax matters by any agency of state government may be a controversial sub ject, but the selection of specific topics following t&a nolicv established bv unoro. priate officials of the Univer sity is ngntnuiy an admin istrative decision. Dr. Peterson said the objec tives of the workshops are to provide the citizens of Ne brasica with basic information on the state and local tax situation and the advantages and disadvantages of various methods of public finance as well as to increase citizens' awareness of their resw bilities in beine informed on this and other important pub lic issues.
