Friday, December 11, 1964 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Faculty Supports Berkeley Students University of California stu dents have won faculty back ing of their sit-in battle against restrictions on politi cal activity. The faculty academic sen ate Wednesday adopted 824 115, a resolution recommend ing that the students be given most of what they have been demanding through four mas sive sit-in demonstrations. Jubilant students held a rally Wednesday to celebrate their "victory." Leader ot the free speech movement, Mario Savio, told his rally audience of 2,500, "We have arrived at a point where we have to be responsible." Savio said. "I am confident that the students and faculty will exercise their freedom with the same responsibility they've shown in winning w.eir freedom." The faculty group's propos al includes: freedom to advo cate on the campus any off campus cause whether it is legal or not and freedom from campus discipline for off-campus political activity. The University's board of regents will meet in Los An geles Dec. 18 to consider the 1,200-member faculty group's proposal.

The Berkeley campus tra ditional methods have proved inadequate to deal effectively with the problem created there by recent incidents, he said. Governor Edmund Brown squelched students' plans to ask dismissal of criminal charges against 814 students arrested in a round the clock sit-in at Sproul Hall last week. Brown said in Sacramento Wednesday: "The FSM (Free Speech Movement) chose a chaotic course of demonstra tions, sit-ins and threats against the administration of the University of California. I have considered the ques tion of amnesty carefully, and my decision is final. I w i 1 1 not intervene." Attorney J. Frank Coakley declared, "I have no intention of recommending dismissal. We expect to go to trial un less they plead guilty." The Free Speech Move ment's battle had led to four massive demonstrations on the campus. The biggest sit ins, Dec. 2-3 ended with the arrests of the 814 students and nonstudent demonstra- "sat f t oOoz makes you feel drowsy while studying, working or driving, do as millions do . . . perk up with safe, effective NoDoz Keep Alert Tablets.

There were 135 nonstu dents among the demonstra tors. On Dec. 7 nine full profes sors of the University of Cal ifornia political science de partment wrote a statement that was printed on Dec. 7 irf the Daily Caluornian. The statement commended the number of students who had continued to attend clas ses throughout the sit-in dem onstrations. The statement continued: "We condemn the Illegal oc cupation of University facili ties by striking students and we deplore the partial disrup tion of University activities which such conduct has caused. We advise any students who still remain on strike to re turn to their classes and re sume their studies forthwith." The FSM Tuesday tempor arily suspended picketing of University entrances and classroom buildings until aft er the academic senate ses sion. The political science profes sors wished to call students' attention to the necessity "for pursuing orderly and legal processes in attempting, in good conscience, to correct any grievances they may have." The statement said that' in a democracy "students must recognize that the derogation of due process and the dis ruption of normal administra tion in the name of freedom or free SDeech is riema- goguery, not democracy. The professors also noted that the Universitv of Cali fornia has become a national and international model for higher education, scientific research and intellectual serv ices. "To hamper the work of such a world-renowned and world - committed institution and to engage in behavier which subjects it to obloquy, is not soley an injury to a sin gle University campus but a tnreat to the attainment of the larger ideals of freedom, science, and service which, we are convinced, continue to motivate the minds of Uni versity students here and all over the world," they said.

Constitutional Convention (Continued from P. 1) for every 730 students, while there is one representative for every 400 students in the pro fessional schools," he said. "The present system has also shown that it brings stu dent apathy," Klein said. "In the last Council election, one third of the present Council members ran unopposed. Al so, from 1961 to the last elec tion, student voting in the Council elections has de creased by 900 while student enrollment has increased by 1,600," he said. In discussion of the sys tems by the entire Conven tion, Gale Muller said that he was sure that Council mem bers of the past had not been controlled by their living unit. "This hasn't existed in the past, and I see no reason why it will in the future," he said. "If Council members do not let their living unit influence the way they vote under the present system, why divide the representation into dis tricts which would encourage this to exist?" asked Larry Frolik, a non-delegate who was recognized from the floor. "By making a person a straight representative of ms unit, you are forcing him to let his unit influence h i s voting," he said. "Inherent interest as a group does not exist in a liv ing unit unless it is on issues which appeal differently to each district," Frolik said. "It has been pointed out by both sides that these type of issues don't come before Council," he said. "If the district system is adopted, there would be no logical alternative to using the Hare system," Frolik said. "It was necessary to bring in someone who isn't even a delegate to this Con vention in order for this sys tem to be explained to and understood by just the 20 dele gates. How could this com plex system ever be under stood by all the students?" he asked. "The voting procedure doesn't have to be understood by all the students so long as knowledgeable people are on the vote-counting groups," an swered Klein. "Also, I am sure that all issues differ ac cording to l::ng districts," he said. "And, we must prevent Student Council from being controlled by any one group. The district system would in sure this," he said. After a motion was passed which called for ending de bate on the representation is sue, the Convention moved to table the vote until this week's meeting. CLASSIFIED ADS FOR SALE: VW snow tires.
