should be abolished while his

If "great problems" arise,
Potts says the welfare com

Skip Soiref
Soiref says the committee
should be modified to "con
cern itself with issues which
more affect the people in Ne
braska and the students at
the University." Holding a
8.3 cumulative, he says the
committee should direct its
international and national top
ics towards "interested"
groups. He notes that there
just aren't students who are
concerned enough to take part
in such discussions at the Uni
versity. Soiref says "certain stand
ard criteria" should be de
veloped by Council to limit
organizational representation.
Meanwhile Potts observes
that the present representa
tion system "is not perfect,"
but that "as the University
expands, district representa
tion may not do the job ei

workable since it is set up
as a basis for merely choosing

The Student Council repre
sentatives from the Colleges
of Law, Pharmacy and Busi
ness Administration have
distinguished themselves in
general through their partici
pation in Council discussions
and their committee work.
Individually, their work can
be judged on its own value, its
relevence and its application
to the problems of the stu
dents, organizations and the
campus.

tional convention next fall "at
which time students would be
able to voice their opinion."
Five candidates from grad
uate schools will automatical
ly sit on the Council with the
May 4 election, filling the
five open positions.
Ken McElrose
Ken McElrose, if elected,
will concern himself with re
routing traffic on campus to
"relieve some of the conges
tion and confusion which oc
curs between classes." McEl
rose, who has a 7.1 in Phar
macy College, says Universi
ty police should be controlling
traffic during congested pe
riods instead of "looking for
overparked cars to write tick
ets on."
McElrose feels the "drink
ing situation" has been
"blown up" and that Student
Council has more "pertinent
problems to cope with."
"Is it no wonder the Uni
versity has difficulties in get
ting state funds for their budg
et. Perhaps the state's liquor
laws need to be changed but
this is not the place to do it,"
McElrose says.
Roger Beaman
Roger Beaman, currently
studying for a Masters of
a
macy representative, served
this year as chairman of the
student welfare committee.
This committee originated the
student discount cards and
the Fireside Discussions pro
gram, both of which cannot
be evaluated at the present
time because only the ground
work has been laid.
The student welfare com
mittee also suggested the tic
ket rotation plan to provide
immediate relief during the
tense situation caused by a
shortage in student football
seating last semester.
On Oct. 23, Kerrey an
nounced that his committee
would investigate the concept
of compulsary ROTC at t h e
University with the intention
of making a recommendation
to the Board of Regents. He
added at that time that a poll
would be taken to measure

Art in finance and banking,
says "organizational repre
sentation does not fairly and
adequately represent the stu
dent body." Representation
should be by college and liv
ing units only, according to
Beaman.
Beaman asks whether Stu
dent Council should reflect
student opinion and answers
himself, emphatically "no."
"I feel very strongly that I
am a delegate and not the
mirror or parrot of student
opinion. I will always vote as
my conscious dictates," says
Beaman.
Beaman comes out on other
issues, including being firmly
against athletic department's
hired tutors, backing favor
able treatment for grad stu
dents regarding parking tick
ets, and criticizing "the rub
ber stamp representation of
the past few years."
Bill Poppert
Bill Poppert, a sophomore
Pharmacy College student
with a 5.9 over-all, feels that
the Council will "eventually
have to go to district repre
sentation" because college

calls for a constitutional con

as one of the major topics of

significent mention of the
ROTC investigation came
this week with Kerry's an
nouncement that a recom
mendation would be made fol
lowing Congressional action
on a bill allowing military
students to make up ROTC re
quirements in summer camp.
Kerrey told Council at that
time that conferences with
heads of the military science
departments had indicated to
him that the present system
of ROTC is the only way that
the armed forces have to sup
plement officer ranks on a
large scale.
Del Rasmussen, Law Col
1 e g e representative, cam
paigned on the following plat
form: "Council should either
be renamed or the function of
it should be promoted. The
student body should be al
lowed to be heard and act
positively upon disputes of is
sues." No action or motions have
been initiated in Council this
year toward either end. Ras
mussen was a member of the
judiciary committee and pro
vided advice to that body
concerning legal technicalities
of some of the problems the
committee encountered. He
was also a member of t h e
student welfare committee.
Gary Oye, representative of
the College of Business Ad
ministration, said in last
year's DAILY NEBRASKAN
that he believed that roll call
voting should be mandatory
on all Issues and, that Council
should submit a voting record
of each representative to his
constituants. Christie later in

an unnecessary waste of time.
As chairman of the parking
committee, Oye, on March 12,
presented a long series of
minor revisions in the campus
parking regulations. The
changes called for clarifi
cations in parking times and
fine limits, and were pre
sented to the Faculty Senate
for approval.
The other Business repre
sentative, Jim Baer, indicated
in his platform that he
thought Council should act on
its own inclinations in the ab
sence of student opinion. He
also expressed support for a
Quiz Bowl program, which
was later approved by t h e
Council.
On March 25, Baer, as
representation committee
chairman, presented a three
fold change in organizational
representation 1 n c 1 u d
ing representatives for Cath
er Hall and All University
Fund (AUF) and the re
moval from Council of t h e
present Council on Religion
(COR) representative.
The plan, alternately re
ferred to as "complicating an
already activity - infested
Council" and "streamlining
Council representation" was
divided into three parts for
necessary voting convenience.
Baer said that Cather de
served recognition as repre
senting 500 men, that AUF,
as a financial power deserved
a Council seat, and that
COR, as a religious organiza
tion, should be removed to
avoid a religion and govern
ment conflict.
Council approved the first
two parts of the motion, while
defeating the third, allowing
the COR representative to re
main on Council.

Survey Suggests
Religious Revival
By Priscilla Midlins
Junior Staff Writer
Is religion dead or dying on
university campuses around
the country?
This question has been
asked more and more in the
last two decades, and many
have felt that the answer was
a definite "yes!"
An article in the NATIONAL
NEWMAN NEWS presents the
opposite side of this story. It
tells of the persistent revival
of interest in religion since
the end of World War II.
Its author, Andrew Greeley,
of The National Opinion Re
search Center (NORC) at
Chicago University, points out
that "the upper levels of aca
demia have remained one of
the last bastions of resistance
to the revival." He says that
believers on university facul
ties do exist, but they are few
in number, and their religion
is private and hardly noticed
"or tolerantly ignored by
their colleagues."
Greeley does feel though
that the others are not mili
tant atheists. He says that
though they are surprised and
fascinated by the revival, they
are "too well mannered to at
tack other people's religious
beliefs."
Some of them, he says, are
"even beginning to speak
about a new 'scientific study
of religion,' not to disprove
it, but to understand its dur
ability more clearly." Even
so, Greeley feels that they are
still what Michael Novak has
called "bourgeois agnostics"
men who refuse to admit
that the most important ques
tion man can ask is answer
able. One of these men re
ferred to an agnostic as
"someone who is beginning to
be fearful that there might
be a God after all."
The next question arising
out of this controversey is
whether or not the agnostic
ism of "Upper Academia"
will destroy the faith of the
students in their classrooms.
A recent survey by NORC
seems to suggest that the an
swer to this question may be
negative. That is, religion is
not dead among the students.
Furthermore, the bourgeois
agnostics, as Greeley puts it,
"may be training a genera
tion of believers who will
eventually make agnosticism
as rare on the campus as is
Nestorianism."

sciences graduate students

of 1961 and had attended one
of the top 12 universities in
the year after their gradua
tion, shows that onetfif th of the
Protestant students attended
church every Sunday as did
four-fifths of the Catholics.
These figures deal with the
religion in which the person
was raised, and all who had
left their childhood faith were
included in the nonattenders.
The next two decades will
begin to show the actual an
swer to the question or prob
lem of religion on the campus,
but for the present, Michael
Novak expresses a feeling of
optimism when he says: "God
will come back to the campus
only when man comes back."
By this he means the kind
of man who realizes that a
human cannot escape from
facing the question of the pos
sibility of the transcendental
and not by running to the
security of "bourgeois agnos
ticism." Of course, church attend
ance does indicate the very
private and personal feelings
of religions beliefs, but it may
show that man is on bis way
back.
YRs Reveal
Rally Plans
The Young Republicans
(YR's) outlined plans last
night for a mass rally support
ing Republican candidates for
president, governor and lieu
tenant governor to take place
May 7.
The rally, to be held in con
junction with Nebraska Wes
leyan University and Lan
caster County YR's, will begin
at the Student Union, procede
around the living units and
down O Street. An award will
be given to the living unit
with the greatest enthusiasm,
according to Doug Payne,
campaign chairman.
Lowell Hummel, state presi
dent of the Federation of
YR's made his first official
appearance since his election
last Sunday.
Hummel challenged the
YR's to return to their homes
this summer and organize
YR groups there to work to
elect a Republican governor
in Nebraska.
Present at the meeting were
Leo Bartunek, candidate for
governor, Sen. Willard Waldo,
Sen. Don Thomsen and Her
man Dinges, candidates for
lieutenant governor.
