Ousted Pi Xis Direct Cases
To Senate Appeals Committee;
Rehearing Scheduled Dec. 20
By Tom Kotouc
The second of the two Pi
Xis suspended by the Dean, of
the Division of Stiraent Af
fairs has appealed his case
to the Senate Appeals Com
mittee for a Dec. 20 closed
hearing. v
The students were sus
pended by Dean J. P. Col
bert Monday at the recom
mendation of the Student Tri
bunal until June 7, 1962 from
the University for "acts of
vandalism" and their "asso
ciation with a forbidden sub
rosa secret organization."
"The Senate Appeals Com
mittee has the power to un
hold my decision, reverse it
or modify it," Dean Colbert
said.
Since the appeals from the
two suspended students were
received within the three day
limit for the filing of such an
appeal, the suspension of the
students is ineffective or "the
Notice of Suspension is held
in abeyance" until the Senate
Appeals Committee affirms
the suspension, if it does so.
Appeals Committee
Colbert said that of several
cases appealed to the Senate
Appeals Committee in the
past most have upheld the
decision of the administrative
officer ordering the suspen
sion. "In one case I remember,
the Comimttee voted to modi
fy or compromise the sus
pension decision," added Col
bert. When both students appear
personally at the Dec. 20
hearing, each has the right
to be represented by counsel
(if he notifies the Committee
of this intention on Dec.
19th), to bring to the hearing
any witnesses, to introduce
and examine any relevant doc
umentary evidence, and to
confront and examine any
witnesses who have given in
formation upon which the No
tice of Suspension is based.
The notification of the Com
mittee a day before the hear
ing as to the intention of the
student to be represented by
counsel is to permit the Uni
versity to secure the counsel,
if desired, Colbert explained.
Witnesses
At the hearing, no , w i t
nesses shall be sworn and
committee members shall be
pntitled to ask any question
relevant to the inquiry and to
question all witnesses, includ
ing thA susnended student.
University official or
employee interested in the
tase may . appear ana md.e
any statement or give any
evidence which he tninics reie
ant
All deliberations of the
rnmmittee will be conducted
in secret, the students being
informed before the hearing
closes when they may secure
a copy of the recommenda
tion of the Committee.
If desired, the Committee
may refer the case to the
Student Tribunal for advice.
The Senate Appeals Com
mittee is composed of five
members, the concurrence of
three required to take any ac
tion in the case.
Professor Howard Wiegers,
of the College of Agriculture
is present chairman of ' the
Committee.
"The rules of the S e n a t e
Appeals Committee were
drawn up by a professor of
the College of Law," said
Colbert, "to protect the de
fendant and set up a fair and
logical procedure through
which the Committee can
reach a decision.

ONLY THE BEGINNING
Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin receives $26,860 which
is the first payment on a three-year research grant from
Morris Sie?il nf T.inrnln. Lancaster rnuntv chairman of
the National Foundation. Siegel represented Basil O'Con

'Guysolls'Musical
Is Spring Show -
A three-vear grant totaling
$49,173 has been given to the
University by the National
Foundation March of Dimes
for the investigation of the
possible relationship between
virus infection during preg
nancy and the development
of birth defects.
The announcement of the
award was made Thursday
by University Chancellor Clif
ford Hardin and Basil O'Con
nor, president of the National
Foundation. The study will be
ihider the direction of Dr.
George Young, chairman of
the department of veterinary
science.
The studv. financed by $26.-
860 the first year, will center
on the problem of iniection in
swine by a virus that causes
edema.
This virus produces an ac
cumulation of fluid and also
sometimes causes the death
of the pregnant sow or the
develoDine Dielets. If the pig
lets do survive the virus in
fection, they are apparently
free of malformations.
This finding, made bv Dr
Young in his studies last
year, contrasted sharply with
other Investigators. These in
vestigators have found that
certain virus infections in
pregnant animals may give
rise to birth defects in the
young.
The Nebraska crouo is
checking on iust how the
swine edema virus behaves
and why it either kills the
young completely, or leaves
them apparently unharmed.
The nig was chosen as the
animal of experimental study
because the embryonic cycle
allows a day-by-day evalua
tion.
Along with the investigation
of swine virus edema. Dr.
Young is also checking on the
cause of a certain form of
water on the brain which has
been noted frequently in
calves. There is a possibility
that this condition, too, is due
to a virus.
Such studies are being sup
ported by the National Foun
dation March of Dimes m
its program against congenital
defects which affect one in
every 16 babies born in this
country.
Dorm Rates
Scheduled
For Increase
University dormitory rates
are "in 'foi an increase," ac
cording to University Business

The amount of the increase
will b discussed at the Board

Donaldson did not make
any estimate of how much
higher the dorm rates would
go but commented, "We'll try
to make them as, low aswe
can." ,
The current fee for an aca
demic vedr is $600. The stu
dent may pay the amount as
one lump sum payment or in
nnthiv oavmcnts averaging
7; npr month. During the
summer months rates vary

Buckley,
Kuklin Study
CCUN, PTP
Council President Steve
Gage appointed Chip Kuklin
and Bill Buckley to head two
committees to study the pos
sibility of setting up the Peo-ple-To-People
(PTP) and Col
legiate Council on the United
Nations (CCUN) groups un
der Council jurisdiction.
"If such an action is feasi
ble," said Gage, "the People-To-People
and Collegiate
Council on the United Nations
would be set up on campus as
an independent area of the
Council under the Public Is
sues Area."
Before the groups can be
organized, the procedure will
have to be approved by the
Student Council, Dean of Stu
dent Affairs and the National
CCUN and possibly the Na
tional PTP group.'
Once set up, Kuklin's PTP
group would coordinate all
work on campus involving the
exchange among international
and U.S. students, encourag
ing greater understanding of
the culture of each by the
other. '
The CCUN will be a center
for study of the U.N. by Uni
versity students, heading up
efforts to send a delegation
of students to the Mar. 28-31
Midwest Model United Na
tions in St. Louis, Mo.
line three times with differ
ent ID's each time.
Law college representative
Larry Myers questioned the
feasibility of voting lor tne
candidates just as the student
enters Pershing, using up to
a dozen polling places to pre
vent crowding.
Member Nancy Butler said
the idea was impractical be'
cause of limited space avau
able inside the door.
Steve Jovnt auestioned the
recommendation's provision
that a student must hold a
KK Fall Show ticket to vote,
on the grounds that "the fel
low might have quite a bit
of trouble getting the ticket
to his date".
In other business. President
Gage appointed Susie Moffitt
chairman of Campus Publica
tion committee to set up the
structure of a combined pub
lication organizatibn, and to
direct the production of the
first publication, which will
combine the present publica
tion of Husker Handbook,
AWS Handbook and similar
books.
The committee will initially
select a group of students in
terested in working on the
troiect submitting their
names to tl e council nomi
nations committee for the se
lection of three to seven to
work with the Council.
"Five Big-Eight schools
will participate in the Big
Eight Student Government As
sociation meeting Dec. 28-30
at the Nebraska Center," saia
Al Plummer, co-chairman of
the Special Big-8 committee.
Each university represented
will give talks and hold dis
cussion groups to explain ac
tivities and successes of the
various student governments
at these Universities.
Chairman of the parking
committee, Steve Cass, re
ported that of eleven cases
reviewed by the committee in
November, four were granted
and seven denied.
"A violator may lay away
a ticket until he is financially
able to pay it," said Cass, in
regard to the decision in one
case.
A proposal for a revised
Big Eight Student Govern
ment Association Constitution
was unanimously voted to be
sent back to committee for
further revision before it is
presented by Nebraska's four
delegates at the Dec. 28-30th
meeting.
Wednesday by the executive
board of the Legislative Coun-
cil.
Half of the aDDroved amount
will be used to finance the
dorm construction. The re
maining amount will be used
to refund the 1953. 56 and '59
bond issues.
The new dorm, to be lo
cated on 17th between R and
Vine, will house approximate
lv 960 students. The towers
of the dorm will be separated
ty a two-story iooa service
which will have facilities to
feed 1,500 students.
University Comptroller Dr.
Joseph Soshnik said the
planned facilities are entirely
self-supporting and that no
tax funds can possibly be in
volved in theL financing, op
eration or maintenance.
Dr. Soshnik explained that
the official bond indenture re
solution from the Board of Re
gents will call for a total of
$16 million, but authority for
the $6.5 million balance will
not be sought . until a later
date.
Sen. Kenneth Diers, chair
man of the Legislative Coun
cil, emphasized that the ex
ecutive board was approving
only the $9.5 million at this
time.
Regarding the past bond is
sues, Dr. Soshnik pointed out
that the University would gain
greater freedom administra
tively from being able to dis
tribute board and room
charges as it sees fit instead
of within the restrictions of
earlier committments to bond
holders. This would be an eco
nomic advantage to the Uni
versity as well , as to bond
holders.
The bondholders, past and
present, would then be lumped
as one group and share equal
ly anv revenue accruing from
the combined profits of the
several projects.
