Prospective Regents Air Views
On University Service To State
Editor's note: This is the
second of two articles con
cerning the candidates for two
seats on the University Board
of Regents. Today's article
concerns Board President
Richard Adkins and his op
ponant, Warren Marsh.
Seeking election to the Uni
versity Board ot Kegents in
the Third District are Rich
ard Adkins, current Regents
president from Osmond and
Warren Marsh, a farmer from
Archer whose father served
on the board from 1929 to
1935.
Both men were contacted
by the Daily Nebraskan this
week in order to learn the
bases of their campaign
One of the questions asked
the two candidates was Do
you think the University is
adequately serving the state
at this time?"
Adkins said
'C o m m u

Adkins
citizens about
the University."
"The University is building
up great reservoirs of knowl
edge that can be of great
benefit to businessmen, indus
tries and economic develop
ment of the state." he said.
Marsh said "I think the
University is doing a good
job. There are areas for im
provement in any rapidly
growing institution, and, as
a man of the soil, I would like
to see the research facilities
at the College of Agriculture
expanded."
"A good physical plant is
essential, but even more im
portant is the securing and
holding of top personnel."
Adkins said the University
should "continue to cooperate
with the universities of other
states in any possible way in
order to give better areas of
instruction to the students of
this University."
"We should continue to as
sist other colleges within the
state on the same type of ex
change pro- . , , ,
grams we
have now."
On the sub
ject of the
U n i v e r
sity's rela
tions with
other colleges
in the state,
Marsh said,
"I would se
riously con- Marsh
sider the possibility of event
ually incorporating some jun
ior colleges in to the state ed
ucational program."
"Additional trade schools
are a must and would help
handle some of the student
population problems," he said.
Adkins said the time has
passed when colleges have to
compete for the top students.
"It is no longer a matter of
competitiveness, only a ques
tion of whether we will be
able to take care of the young
people as they come."
Adkins expressed concern
that some Nebraska students
might be restricted from at
tending their university.
Adkins, a graduate of Nor
folk High School, attended col
lege at Grinnell College, and
Columbia University in addi
tion to the University. He

Marsh and his wife have
one son, presently a junior in
high school.
A student professorship
program to select one pro
fessor a year for recogni
tion is being planned by the
Builders Board.
The board felt it was nec
essary for a professor to be
recognized on the basis of
student selection for meth
ods of teaching and person
al guidance, according to
Cheryll Crosier, chair
man of campus promotion.
The board sent letters of
inquiry to 35 universities
asking if they were in
volved in such a program,
and asked them to send any
information of its details.

A spokesman for the Plumbers and Steamfitters Lo
cal Union 88, which is picketing the Capital air condi
tioning project on 16th St., said that the union's purpose
in the picket is "to gain recognition." He would not
name the man picketing, nor would he give any more
additional information on the reasons for the picket. He
said that the sign is enough explanation.
"The picket will continue until an agreement is
made, or until the job is finished." he said. Dobson
Brother's, the company involved in the dispute, said
that the United States Department and the Nebraska
Department of Labor both have approved the com
pany's wages, hours, and working conditions. He said
that as of now the union has not sent in a grievance
complaint to the state offices.
The University of Illinois
had a similar plan, and
sent a sample nominating
ballot, which the board re
vised and is using in its pro
gram. All organized living units
and Lincoln independents
will receive this ballot and
are asked to nominate pro
fessors they feel best quali
fied under the criteria listed
on the ballot, according to
Miss Crosier.
Criteria for an Outstand
ing Professor include: his
desire and enthusiasm for
learning, his influence as a
teacher beyond his own
against Republican Sen. Ro
man Hruska.
Following the rally students
are invited to watch a tele
vision debate between Gub
ernatorial candidates Frank
Morrsion and Dwight Burney
which will be broadcast at
9 p.m. in the small auditoiium
of the Union.

Progress Reports Replace
Seven Week's Down Slips;
Will Be Sent To Parents
No down slips will be sent
this semester. In their place
scholastic progress reports
for the first seven weeks will
be sent to student and par
ents, according to Lewis
Fowles. assistant dean of Stu
dent Affairs.
Fowles said that the name
has been changed due to the
fact that any scholastic re
port at this time is only an in
dication of a student's prog
ress. Fowles feels that schol
astic progress report is a
more appropriate term than
down slip.
"We are more concerned
about alerting students as to
their present scholastic situ
ation. Many students don't
realize that they are doing
unsatisfactory work in a sub
ject until they receive this
report. This realization still
gives a student time to work
harder and redeem himself,"
said Fowles.

To Pe ubmBtt
Bbi StydeETDt SI
By Priscilla Mullins
Senior Staff Writer
Student Council yesterday
accepted the policy statement
of the Council Executive
Committee on the Constitu
tional Convention.
In essence, the report read
this way:
"The draft of the Univer
sity Constitutional Convention
committee of the student body
shall be automatically placed
on a ballot to appear before
the students as soon as such
draft is complete.
"The constitutional conven
tion draft shall be voted upon
via special election. This
election shall be financed by
appropriations allocated for
this purpose in the Student
Council budget. It shall be
governed as are all student
elections.
"The 1964-65 Student Coun
cil shall continue to operate
until such time as representa
tives composing the new stu
dent government are elected,
as provided for in the newly
approved constitution."
Amendment Made
At this point in the report
an amendment was made,
and itself amended to read:
"The Student Council recom
mends that such election
shall not be held before Mon-

is hoped that in the next
few years this goal can be
exceeded. If enough funds
are raised, future plans in

Tentative plans include a
special convocation in which
the selected professor would
be honored. All organiza
tions are being contacted
explaining the Student Pro
fessorship and are asked to
contribute as much as pos
sible. tory work, and they may also
submit reports on students do

Satisfactory work is consid
ered to be a grade of 4 or bet
ter. Reports are expected to be
sent out by November 16. This
year parents and advisers will
be notified at the same time
due to a new processing sys
tem. This will be beneficial
to advisers who need to con

the same size as grade reports.
Teenage Project Emphasizes
Work In Human Relations: Hall
By Bruce Mason
Nebraskan Reporter
"Human relations is the
keynote of the work of the
Teenage Project at the Uni
versity," according to Dr.
William Hall professor of ed
ucational psychology and
measurement, history and
principles of education.
"The project has as its
main objective the develop
ment of a better understand
ing of human relations, and
in doing so to better under
stand the principles and tech
niques of human relations,"
Hall said.
Twenty-five University stu
dents participate in Teenage
Project. The students try to
establish a personal relation
ship with the high school stu
dents who have demonstrated
leadership ability in some
activity in school.
day, following the first Sat
urday of May, 1965."
Council discussion here
pointed out that Student
Council had no right to say
when the election should be
held, but that an early elec
tion during the year would
leave the present Council
programs hanging in air, if
the new governing body
should choose not to follow
them.
Several Council members
stated that they felt that they
had been elected for the full
term of 1964-65, and that they
should be allowed to fulfill
this term before the new gov
erning body takes over.
The amendment was added
to the statement and the re
port was passed with it in
cluded. If Draft Defeated
The report continued: "If
the draft is defeated, or if
the draft is not completed at
least two weeks prior to the
May 3. 1965 election (as out
lined in the present Student
Council constitution), the
1964-65 Student Council shall
continue as the government
of the student body."
The report said that funds
for the administration of the
Convention "will be appropri
ated from the Student Coun
cil treasury," and "any ap
propriation requests must be
approved by the Treasurer of
the present Student Council."
A graduate student, Don
Kruse, in the College of Phar
macy, was selected by the
Council to be the graduate
representative on Student
Council.
Donald Mienke and Sharon
Eboch were also interviewed
before the Council for the po
sition. Counseling Service
A motion made by Kent
Kneumeister, stating that
Student Council form a Coun
seling Service Committee to
work with the University
Counseling Service, was
passed by the Council.
Kneumeister said that such
a committee would be valu
able as a go-between with stu
dents and the University
Service. He said that the idea
is directed toward freshmen,
who are sometimes "shy
about going to their advisors
with questions, but would not
be so reluctant about going
to other students."
He said that there are three
main adjustments the student
must make when coming to
the University:
1. Adolescence to maturity.
2. Protected provincial en
vironment to less protected,
more cosmopolitan environ
ment. 3. Secondary education to
University education.
Kneumeister said that he
feels that the committee could
work with the University
Service by sending students
who come to them as friends
to the Service.
JoAnn Stratemann told
Council members that in set
ting up the committee, they
Hall said, "The project
members meet once a week
for a hour in a general meet
ing in which they discuss ma
jor projects and hope to gain
a better insight into human
relations."
The project members spend
between three to seven hours
a week with their high school
students.
"The interested project
member usually spends more
time with his student than
does the lackadaisical mem
ber," he said.
The high schools which par
ticipate in the project are:
Lincoln Northeast, Lincoln
Southeast, Lincoln High and
University High. '
"The project is also an at
tempt to learn how effective

could look into possibilities of
any further help to the Uni
versity Service.
A motion passed naming
Kneumeister chairman of the
new committee.
Michel Moves
Diane Michel made a mo
tion, which the Council passed,
that the University join the
Nebraska Student Govern
ment Association, pending ap
proval and possible revision
of its constitution.
She said that Student Coun
cil programs from the Uni
versity would be taken to
meetings of the association
and discussed, along with
those of other Nebraska col
leges. Council President John Ly
dick announced the names of
final committee chairman for
Student Council this year.
They are: Larry Frolik, Pub
lic Issues ; Mike Jeffrey, Pub
lic Relations; John Luckasen,
Student Welfare; Kent Kneu
meister, Libraries; Bob Cou
fal, Masters; John Kenagy,
Senators; and Andy Taube,
Peace Corps.
Reports Heard
The Council also heard com
mittee reports at their meet
ing. The reports included:
Activities Susie Segrist
told Council members that
they must submit a list of
their officers to administra
tion for approval. She said
that Council is one of the last
organizations to be doing this.
Associates Sue Graham
reported that the new asso
ciates have, of their own ac
cord, shown an interest in
pursuing the matter of the
financial situation of the Dai
ly Nebraskan. She said that
Pam Hedgecock has been
named chairman of a com
mittee for this purpose, and
Mike Jeffrey, Council mem
ber and business manager of
the Daily Nebraskan, will
serve as advisor to this com
mittee. Parking Checked
Parking Bill Poppert told
the Council that his commit
tee has been checking into
the inter-campus bus situa
tion. He said that the Univer
sity, to hire extra drivers
and buses for peak hours,
must hire them for at least
two hours. Poppert said that
seven parking ticket appeals
were heard this week, and
one granted.
He said the one granted was
probably for "originality" if
nothing else. "Apparently
there is someone going around
campus moving Renault
Dauphines out of their park
ing spaces," he said.
Libraries Kent Kneu
meister said that the hours
for the East (Ag) campus
library, effective Nov. 1, are
7:50 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday
through Thursday; 7:50 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Friday and Satur
day; and 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Sunday. He said that the
hours will change to the same
as Love Library on the city
campus in about two months.
relationships," he said.
The project has as one of
its goals the creation of an
incentive to learn more about
students in the other Lincoln
schools in the individual high
school students. Unlike ath
letics, there is no competi
tion present among students.
On discussing the benefits
derived by the project mem
ber, he said that the under
standing of young people is
the obvious benefit. He also
said that the experience
gained in working with the
students is invaluable in later
life for the member.
He ended by saying, "This
is an organization whose sur
vival depends entirely upon
the visable results and the
caliber of the project mem
bers. We can not afford to
remain static."
