Mike Jeffrey, Student Coun
cil member and business
manager for the Daily Ne
braskan, told Council mem
bers yesterday "The financial
standing of the Daily Nebras
kan will have to be changed
very soon if the Nebraskan is
to continue to exist at the
University,"
Jeffrey's comment came
about at the suggestion of
John Luckasen to open the
problem of excessive adver
tising to discussion by Coun
cil members.
According to Lucka
sen, "The Daily Nebraskan
Isn't a Daily Nebraskan any
more, but more like a Mont
gomery Ward ad sheet sent
out once a week."
To Luckasen's question of
"Why are there so manv arts
In the Nebraskan?" Jeffrey
replied that in past years the
paper has lost from four to
five thousand dollars per
year.
At the same time, he add
ed, the Cornhusker earned
about $6,000 last year. This
money, which went to Publi
cations Board, was used by
the Board to help defray the
Nebraskan's debt.
When asked by Luckasen
where the Nebraskan can get 1
more money, Jeffrey listed
five sources of funds: sub
scriptions, classified ads, lo
cal ads, national ads, and the j
one dollar per student fee tak
en from general tuition.
When questioned after the
meeting, Jeffrey said "A pro-'
posal would be an increase in j
student fees." j
Mike Barton, Council mem
ber, during the meeting,
asked if a ten cent increase
from the tuition payment
would help the situation.
In answer, John Luckasen
said he thought that ten cents
would only allow the Nebras
kan to break even at the pre
sent advertising rate. He, in
College Deans To Choose Delegates
To Council Constitutional Convention
me student council s con
stitutional convention is sched

two or three weeks according
to Council president John
Lydick.
Plans for the convention be
gan last spring when a new
constitution to govern Coun
cil was presented for its ap
proval. The proposed document was
declared to be invalid at that
time, and Council refused to
take further action on it.
Backers of the document
then appealed their case to
the Faculty Senate. They too
turned down the proposal, but
in doing so recommended that
a convention be held to con

Off-Campus Students Often Isolated
Unicorns Seek Communications
By Walllf Lnndeen
Junior Staff Writer
The independent off-campus
student is often isolated from
campus life, partly voluntar
ily and partly because com
munications are difficult. To
provide a link between these
students and the University
campus, two organizations
plan activities for this pur
pose. Unicorns is a co-educational
group whose members are
off-campus independents, and
Independent Women's Associa
tion (IWA) works partly with
off-campus independent wom
en. Unicorns was founded in
1962, not to be solely social,
but to provide service and
scholastic activities as well.
Today Unicorns has grown
to an organization of about
40 members who are Lincoln
students or who live in apart
ments. "Unicorns is designed for
all off-campus students. We
believe we have something to
offer most students. We are
open to all and we accept all,"
said John Gerlach, president.
"It gives people valuable
training in working with oth
ers, as well as providing lead
ership experience in planning
and carrying off an event,"
he said.
Council
turn, asked how much would
be necessary to reduce the
advertising and stiU make
money.
Jeffrey replied "It's hard
to say; it depends on how
much breathing room I can
John Luckasen
last spring. He urged that a
convention be held as early as
possible during the 1964-65
school year.
The convention will consist
of 25 student delegates. These
delegates will be picked from
the different colleges of t h e
University by the deans in
their respective colleges.
Application forms for pros
pective delegates will be
available from their college
dean. The dean will then re
view these applications and,
possibly with the help of his
college's student board, judge
them and eliminate some of
the applicants. The remaining
applicants will then go through
interviews with their dean to
determine the college's repre
sentatives. Student Council will have
nothing to do with the actual
functioning of the convention.
Lydick, as convention chair
Gerlach emphasized that
there is no obligation as a
member, but "the more one
puts into an organization, the
more he gets out of it."
The independent student
often makes the University a
job which he works at five
to eight hours a day. "We
want to bring students into
the real round of campus life,
and make the University
more than a job," Gerlach
said.
Both Unicorns and IWA
have encountered the two
main problems of lack of in
terest and communications.
Off-campus students are nev
er together as a group, and
it is possible to contact them
only by mail or telephone.
Jeanette Hake, IWA presi
dent, said that off-campus
students are not represented
on the IWA Board because
"no one has shown enough
interest to be a representa
tive." She also felt that off-campus
students did not participate
because they were unin
formed, again a problem of
communications.
She said, the independents
often feel "I'm independent
so I won't join. This is en
tirely the wrong attitude,"
she emphasized.

have. Ten cents would only
put us $300 in the black, but
a fifty cent increase would'
really give me something to
work with, and still cut down
on advertising."

man, will be the only Council
representative.
Administration will be rep
resented by Dean G. Robert
Ross. He will answer ques
tions concerning Administra
tion policies and will present
their views on certain issues.
Anyone will be allowed to
present their opinions or pro
posals to the convention,
whether they are a delegate
or not. However, only the 25
authorized delegates will be
allowed to vote in the conven
tion. The convention will probab
ly meet weekly. It will also
probably divide into commit
tees to discuss certain issues.
"Anyone interested in t h e
governing body of the Uni
versity should take part in
this convention," encouraged
Lydick. "It will determine the
constitution of student govern
ment at the University for
probably at least the next ten
years."
IWA encourages independ
ents to become a part of the
campus by participating in
extra curricular acitivities.
"This is the best way," Miss
Hake said.
Gerlach also pointed out
that "We can do more as an
organized group than as in
dividuals." He noted that Unicorn mem
bers are eligible to be candi
dates for several activities,
and to participate in Spring
Day and other campus events.
"Communications between
our group and other groups
is also a problem," he felt.
"We are willing to cooperate
with any group for the com
mon good of the University."
"We would also like to
have a closer working rela
tionship with other independ
ent groups to give the advan
tages of Greek students.
There are many qualified
students who should have the
same opportunities and should
take advantage of them."
Gerlach felt in order to be
come a more active organiza
tion, other groups should rec
ognize Unicorns as a place
from which to choose candi
dates and as a representative
group on campus.
Activities of Unicorns in
Problem
Nebraskans issued each day
would help the situation.
In reply, Jeffrey explained
that the Nebraskan has a
contract with the Lincoln
Journal to publish 6,500 pap
ers daily at a cost of about
$350. He said that if the Ne
braskan were to cut back on
papers, it would have to cut
back proportionally on the
rates for its advertising, since
advertisers would not be get
ting as wide a circulation.
Sue Graham suggested that
possibly an insert sheet with
advertising would help. This,
according to Jeffrey, would be
more expensive than the pre
sent four-page paper.

Work-Scholarships Aid
Outstanding Freshmen
Four hundred and sixty-
seven freshmen will be pay
ing for a part of their educa
tion through the Work-Scholarship
Program this year.
The program was - estab
lished in keeping with the
American tradition of "work
ing your way through college"
and is designed to benefit
both student and employer.
To be eligible for the pro
gran? the student must be in
the upper one-third of his
graduating class, have passed
the Regents exam and must
show financial need. The
freshman who has passed
these requirements gives his
employer "more brains per
dollar" than a worker and
at the same time helps him
self financially.
The Scholarships and Fi
nancial Aids Department
finds jobs for the students in
January the year before they
arrive at the University. The
incoming freshman can then
clude a Final Blast, parties
every other week, service par
ticipation in the Easter Drive,
All-University Fund, money
making projects for the Chil
dren's Zoo, and a party for
children at the State Hospital.
A scholarship recognition
banquet honors the members
for scholastic achievement
and special awards.
Miss Hake felt that the aim
of IWA would be a unifica
tion of. off-campus students
so there would be a means
for informing them of activi
ties and events on campus.
Any woman interested in
becoming a member of IWA
may sign up to be a worker,
and may then apply for board
positions.
To encourage interaction
between off-campus women
students and students in dor
mitories, a Twin Sisters Tea
will be held November 1.
AH Lincoln girls will be in
vited to have a twin sister liv
ing in thd dormitory with the
purpose of becoming friends.
All off-campus and inde
pendent Lincoln students are
invited to join Unicorns which
meets the second and fourth
Monday of each month in the
Union.
Of Excessive Advertising

sary, Susan Smithberger, edi
tor of the Nebraskan, said, "It
definitely has hurt our news
coverage. We just don't have
the space to put in all the
news."
In other Council business,
committee chairmen gave
their reports on the plans of
their committees for the year.
Judiciary Area chairman
JoAnn Strateman asked the
help of the Council on coping
with approximately twenty

The new Rush Book editor
is Mike Kirkman, a member
of Phi Delta Theta.
This years rush booklet, be
cause of new arrangements,
should be ready early next
spring, instead of, as with last 1

This earlier date will be made
possible by the new arrange

with his working hours.
The average work load is
kept down to 12-15 hours a
week and the student is guar
anteed $400 for the school
year.
The jobs for students are
largely in four areas; labora
tory assistants, library aids,
building and grounds workers
and food service. The differ
ent departments turn in their
employee needs in January
and the students are placed
in jobs according to their
ability, experience and in
terest. The next article in this
series on student employment
will discuss through an inter
view with Mrs. Laura Joyner,
the assistant food manager of
Selleck Quadrangle, the work
ing conditions, wages and du
ties of the student employee.
Law Enrollment
Largest Increase
In 15 Years
The enrollment increase of
Law School freshmen was up
25 per cent this year. This is
the largest increase in 15
years.
David Dow, Dean of Law
School, said that two-thirds of
the class is from the Univer
sity. The Dean said that the
usual drop out rate here is
25 per cent to 30 per cent. This
is below the national average
of 40 per cent.
The reasons for drop out are
varied. Economics, loss of in
terest, and grades are the ma
jor reasons.
"There is no one course of
study that is more beneficial
to a pre-law student than any
other. In this class there arc
26 students from the Univer
sity who took an Arts and Sci
ences course and 27 who took
Business Administration. This
shows that there is no one ac
cepted road to law school,"
said Dow.
"The outside experience of
the student can be just as
important to success in Law
School as are his school
courses," Dow said.
Interested students may go
and speak with Dean Dow
at any time. The Moot Courts
which begin in November are
open to the public and give
an idea of what Law School
is like.
There are no specific qual
ifications for admittance to
the school. A degree and the
aptitude test are all that is
necessary.
The procedure she outlined for
filing for amendments and
new constitutions consists of
filing a letter of intent to the
Judiciary Committee com
plete with five signatures.
One month later eight cop
ies of the constitution must
be submitted to the Division
of Student Affairs. It is then
sent to the Judiciary Com
mittee, and if approved is
sent back to Student Affairs.
A model of a constitution
may be found on page 90 of
the Campus Handbook..

Demo Trask Cuts
Goldwater Policies
By Mark Plattner
Junior Staff Writer
Referring to the "Tempor
ary spokesman of the Repub
lican party" (Barry Goldwa
ter )as an "enormous joke,"
Dr. David Trask spoke of
American Politics-Past. Pres
ent and Future at the Young
Democrats meeting last
night.
"The temporary spokesman
of the Republican Party is ac
tually two candidates in one,
he presents the image of what
he really is, and of what he
wants to be. The temporary
spokesman tries to present
himself as an intellectual and
as a man of principles, what
ever the consequences may
be.
"But in reality Goldwater
as a man is ignorant and an
ti-intellectual. He believes in
expediency not principle. He
spends more time thinking
about weapons and ham ra
dios than he does thinking
about people," Trask said.
Trask, who is an associate
professor of history, said that
the Temporary Spokesman is
the least qualified man to
ever run for the presidency,
including the worst of the lot,
U.S. Grant.
"There is no possibility of
his major plans, those involv
ing the withdrawal of recogni
tion and aid to Communist
countries, complete change in
the structure and ownership
of the TV A, and his plans for
social security, to ever be
passed."
Trask feels that the reasons
that Goldwater was nominated
and has gome support can be
found through history. We
have had international lead
ership thrust upon us. This
causes many problems for
our country and we cannot
solve them in the ways that
we have done in the past.
This causes frustration and
fear in segments of the pop
ulation. These changes and
demands in our society cause
people to turn to old and time
worn policies Goldwater pol
icies, Trask said.
"We can stand on our rec
ord," Trask said. "No other
president has accomplished so
much with the Congress in
such a short tenure. Johnson
has shown unity in the coun
try in times of stress, and
heh as kept his head. Gold
water is to be swept to obliv
ion by a landslide; the great
test landslide in the history
of this country."
"He will try to use desper
ation tactics. We must main
tain our poise. We cannot be
dragged into the gutter, as
Goldwater's writers seem
to have been."
"We will win in a landslide,
but we must go out and get
this vote," Trask said.

the meeting appeared to be
