Programs
To Utilize
Senators
By SUE HOVIK
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The Senators Program,
passed unanimously by Stu
dent Council yesterday, will
give legislators the opportun
ity to see the product of the
University and how students
feel about the school and the
state, said Tom Kotouc, pro
gram chairman.
Divided into three areas,
the program will go into ef
fect immediately after Christ
mas vacation, said Kotouc,
The first area is the Lunch
eons Program, which will be
sponsored by Builders. Ko
touc explained that about five
. senators will be invited to a
noon luncheon held in the Stu
dent Union.
About five students from
each senator's district will
discuss mutual areas of inter
est concerning the future of
the University or state with
his senator.
The second program is that
of living units. Selleck Quad
rangle, Women's Residence
Halls, fraternities, sororities,
and co-ops will invite senators
and their wives to dinner. Aft
er supper, Kotouc suggested
that the senator could talk to
the living unit and answer
questions they might have.
' Living units interested in
Inviting a senator should file
their request with Mrs. Mason
at the Interfraternity Council
(IFC) office.
The third area of the pro
gram is the honoraries divi
sion. Honoraries and other
organization are encouraged
to invite state senators as
guest speakers whenever the
senator is qualified to speak
on a topic which is of interest
to them.
Kotouc hopes that the student
will also learn from the sen
ator about state government,
and problems inherent in fi
nancing and administering the
state's program. He also ex
pressed hope that the senator
will invite the students to visit
the legislative chambers and

Caroling Test
Will Be Held
A motion to have an all
campus Christmas sing on
the Wednesday before vaca
tion passed unaminously, in

It also suggests the extension

In a proposed plan of ac
tion, the Council urged that

What division of the Uni
versity has the largest num
ber of students?
The Extension Division, with
3,000 college and 14,000 high
school enrollments, has almost
as many students as the rest
of the University combined.
Knute O. Broady, director
of the Extension Division,
said that some of the 17,000
people enrolled in University
correspondence courses this
fall aren't taking a full 12
hours and so can't be counted
as full-time students.
"But even so," said
Broady, "we have one of the

Broady said.
Evening Teachers
But the Extension Division's
work isn't limited to corre
spondence courses. Broady
was quick to point out how
closely his division works
with the 40 Nebraska com
munities which don't have col
leges but do have college
education, thanks to teachers
supplied in the evenings by
the University Extension Di

a wholesale electric company
where he was employed. De

arrest.
Police said an outside
source tipped them off as to
Smelser's whereabouts. Capt.
of Detectives Robert Sawdon
reported that the youth ad
mitted striking Hesler several
several times and then pulling
a pocket knife from his pocket
and cutting him.
The penalty for the charge
to which Smelser pleaded
guilty is one to five years in
the penitentiary, said Lancast

Douglas.
Hesler, 18, of 6000 Franklin,
was released from Bryan Me
morial Hospital Tuesday after
several stitches were taken to
close the wound in his nose.
According to an earlier re
port, Hesler said his assailant
pulled the knife on him after
an argument started by the
youth's offering Hesler a ben
zedrine filler from an inhaler.
Hesler said the youth swung
the knife at him; he caught
his arm and tried to avoid
being cut, but the blade
slashed his nose.
Smelser, who has resided at
929 So. 11th St., with his wife
and two children for several
months, had served 17 months
on a 10-year burglary sentence
in Iowa. His parole from Iowa
had been transferred to Ne
braska, according to Douglas.

most of the night classes on
campus, said Broady.
"There are a number of
teachers who do graduate
work at night after driving
from several nearby high
schools. We use Teachers'
College facilities in working
with them," he added.
The Extension Division al
so gets Teachers' College co

Introducer Feels
Wot Understood9
By JIM MOORE
Nebraskan Staff Writer
A motion concerning recent official administrative
rulings that fraternal campus groups may not discrimi
nate by virtue of their constitutions was introduced by
Steve Christensen, law college representative, in yes
terday's Student Council meeting.
The motion, directed primarily at other universities
and colleges, also inferred that allusions of related ac
tions by Nebraska University officials should be con
demned. The motion stated that these actions "blatantly flout
ed the principle of free association," and further urged
that the University administration avoid any and all
such actions.
On Discriminatory Clauses . . .
Whereas certain colleges and universities have seen fit fo arbitrarily and
summarily rule that fraternal campus groups may not discriminate by virtue of
their constitutions, by-laws, or whatever on the basis of race creed religion, ad
Infinitum, ad nauseumt and
Whereas, there have been allusions both official and unofficial to the pro
prlety and desirability of such action on the University of Nebraska e ampul t and
Whereas, we, the Student Council of the Vniversity of Nebraska are struck
with horror at the possibility of such a blatant flouting of the principle of free
association at the University of Nebraska;
Now threfore be it resolved, that the Student Council of the University ef
Nebraska go on record as:
(1) strongly censuring such official administrative action by any and aU college!
and universities which have heretofore so despotically actedt
(21 advocating and urging that the University of Nebraska administration avoid
any and all such action on the matter!
(3 advocating and urging that fraternal groups which would be adversely effected
by such ruling resist the enactment or implementation of such ruling so far as
may he within their power:
(4) advocating and urging that such groups voluntarily enact more liberal constitu
tions by-laws etc.
After the reading of the resolution, Chip Kuklin im
mediately objected to consideration. The motion took
precedence and required a two-thirds majority. Subse
quently, the motion to object to consideration passed.
After the defeat of his motion in Council meeting,
Christensen commented, "When fraternal groups cannot
associate with whom they please, the situation is seri
ous, indeed."
"This was the point of the motion," continued Chris
tensen, "to allow students to think of the situation."
He also pointed out that the reason for the intro
duction of the motion was prompted by occurences on
other college campuses. He pointed out that in a few
schools the situation degenerated to the point that stu
dents were actually assigned to fraternities as a place
of residence.
He continued, "I don't really think the council mem
bers understood the motion."
Don Burt, president of the Council, said that he did
not feel the problem would come to Nebraska for at least
several years, and perhaps never.
"To consider this motion now, even before the prob
lem begins, would serve no useful purpose," Burt commented.
