Convention Holds Answer
"I'm not represented."
This is a common complaint around the campus con
cerning Student Council. Those that are unhappy about this
now have a chance to act A constitutional convention is
about to take place. A revision of the representation sys
tem will be one of the items discussed.
Representatives will be chosen by the deans of the
colleges. Applications are now available in the offices of
these same deans and must be turned in by Friday.
Students who do not answer this challenge and do not
apply, have no right to sit idly by and complain. However,
they do have the right to keep in contact with the students
who are on the convention and inform them of their views
of the actions taken. They not only have the right, they
have the responsibility.
Students must act fast to get their application for the
convention into their deans.

The difference of opinion
between Mike Barton's ap
parently unnameatle col
li an and Lee Marshall's
Larking provides two views,
of a question every student
should ask himself: Does
the University have too
much control over my life?
Judging by his remarks
last week. Barton would an
swer an ultimatum "Please
mother, I'd rather do it my
self." (Then he would co
operate with the order, all
the while calling himself a
liar and blaming "mother"
because he lied.)
Marshall would say "Yes
SIR. Very good, SIR. What
ever you say, SIR." (Then
he would cooperate with the
order, all the while calling
himself a crusader for high
er academic standards
and blaming Barton because
they were not higher be
fore. )
How about University con
trol over our lives? Does it
or doesn't it rule them to a
point of obnoxity?
As a freshman I would
have said no. As a sopho
more, maybe. As a junior
reading comments by vari
ous cogs in the University's
administrative wheel, I'll
have to say I think the Uni
versity controls my life
more than is essential for
my own development or the
raising of my academic
standards.
Helen Snyder, associate
dean of Student Affairs, last
week told the Daily Nebras
kan how important it is for
students to have the oppor
tunity for total development
by living in an organized
living unit. It has always ap
peared unfortunate to me
that, in most living units,
students covering a five or
six year age span are
thrown in to develop togeth
er. Speaking generally,
should seniors live by fresh
man rules? Or should fresh
men live by senior rules?
Granted, closing hours for
women are scaled to some
extent, but, according to
Barton, there are more
rules to cope with.
From experience, I would
say a year of organized liv
ing should be required of
every freshman. He should
live with other freshmen,
somewhat like the present
system in the Women's
Residence Halls. From then
on, he should be "unnintcr
ferred with."
If you disagree, ask for
mer dormitory residents
how much their experience
there benefited them in be
coming stable, mature ad
ults. (This is something I
haven't done, but I would
be interested in hearing how
well this total-development-of-the-s
t u d e n t concept
works.)
Marshall said "I'm sure
the University officials
would be very flexible in
discussing and adjusting a
problem."
M. Edward Brian, new di
rector of housing, told the
Daily Nebraskan a philoso
phy of the residence halls
(one just doesn't say dorms
anymore) is to create 'an
air of tolerance toward dif
ferences with any rule.
"This does not mean the
rule will be changed, how
ever," he said, "but we are
aiming at tolerance toward
individual differences."
Yes, anyone can be heard.
We can all practice dis
agreeing. One, two, three,
together now!
I would have been very
disappointed to know I
wasn't allowed to disagree
before. I am now afraid any
legitimate complaint I may
have will be lost in this at
mosphere of tolerant pigeon
holeism. But all is not yet lost. The
Regents abolished compul
sary ROTC last year. (Al
though I think this decision
was mostly economic and
legal, some consideration of
student feelings might have
been involved.)
And Vice Chancellor G.
Robert Ross, dean of Stu
dent Affairs, last year
said it is a 21-year-old stu
dent's own business if he
wants to drink alcohol away
from the campus.
A member of the Board of
Regents, Val Peterson, last
spring said he would like
to see some more "Intellec
tual ferment" around the
University. Maybe he meant
that if we want something
we should ask for it.
Maybe our asking should
be loud. Maybe we should
have some nonviolent dem
onstrations. Maybe we
should write letters and talk
to people.
No, I don't think anyone
wants change badly enough
to exert himself. I resign
myself to our present self
created monster, our social
and political pseudo-mores,
our supervised playroom
projects and chaperoned
progress.
