operation was ruled within the
law and it was found that
the club's liquor pool fund did
not alone constitute a sale of
liquor by the drink. It was
further ruled that solicitation
of new members by a bottle
club was not in violation, per
se, of the Nebraska Liquor
Control Act. The judgment
said that serving liquor to as
sociate members and guests
did not in itself constitute sale
of liquor by the drink.

Cornhusker Falls Behind;
New Editor Takes Over
Dwaine Francis has been named by
the Publications Board to replace Keith
Krueger as editor of the Cornhusker Year
book. Francis had been associate editor
in charge of copy.
The action came because the Corn
husker staff had "fallen pretty far behind
the deadlines specified in their contract,"
according to Dr. Robert Cranford, Pub
Board chairman.
Because the staff was having trouble
meeting deadlines, the Board had passed
a motion at their Jan. 21 meeting specify
ing that if a Feb. 11 deadline for 40 per
cent of the book's pages was not met,
Krueger would automatically be replaced.
The deadline was not met, according
to Cranford.
The Board had also passed a motion
authorizing R. Neal Copple, Board mem
ber, to seek a temporary advisor for the
Cornhusker staff, according to Curtis
Siemers, coordinator of student activities
and Board secretary.
Siemers said Copple had named Don
Ferguson to work with the staff and ob
serve the situation.
Ferguson is a 1963 graduate of the Uni
versity. He received a Master's Degree in
journalism from Northwestern, and had
been named to supervise the Cornhusker
work in 1963.
After observing the operation of the
staff, Ferguson made a report to t h e
Board on Monday. He made six recom
mendations to the Board at that meeting.
Council, and a Nebraska Ca
reer Scholar.
Larry Frolik, majoring in
English in a pre-law course,
is a Regents scholar, a mem
ber of Student Council and
Beta Theta Pi Fraternity.
Everett Madson Jr., is ma
joring in philosophy and zoo
logy. He is a member of Phi
Delta Theta fraternity, presi
dent of the Interfraternity
Council, and member of Phi
Eta Sigma honorary.
Gale Muller is a mathemat
ics major. He is a member of
Ag Men, Nebraska Career
Scholars and Student Council.
Crowd
Kent Neumeister, majoring
in English, is a member of
RAM Council, Student Coun
cil and Nebraska Career
Scholars.
Frank Partsch is majoring
in journalism. He is a student
assistant at Cather Hall, edi
tor of the Daily Nebraskan,
and a Regent's scholar.
Skip Soiref, majoring in ac
counting, is secretary of Sig
ma Alpha Mu fraternity, trea
surer of Student Council, and
a delegate to the Big Eight
Student Govenment Convention.
First, he recommended that the Board
remove Krueger and replace him with
Francis. Second, he suggested that the
change would necessitate a shifting of
staff positions, since the changes would
undoubtedly be made within the staff.
Ferguson's third suggestion called for
a crack-down on panels, or page layouts
for living units. He also suggested shift
ing the office management to help with
panels.
The last two recommendations called
for a meeting with the staff to discuss
the difficulties and a new schedule for
the retirement of pages.
Concerning his replacement, Kreuger
had this to say: "We are farther along
than we were at this time last year,
but the printer offered little choice, so
Pub Board chose to remove me. I'm
happy with the quality of the work done
so far, I have enjoyed the experience and
feel that Dwaine will do a good job in
finishing the project."
Cranford said that because the dead
line had not been met, "we have de
faulted on the contract." He said the
publisher was "willing to make some
concessions," and there is a chance the
yearbook will be ready by the time stu
dents leave campus.
If the book were not ready, he said,
it would cost approximately $3,000 in
mailing expenses to send the books to
their purchasers.

At YD Debate
By Steve Jordon
Junior Staff Writer
Income tax gave the pow
erful money interests the pow
er to collect money in almost
an unlimited amount."
This statement by Dr. R. C.
Olney opened a debate with
Rev. Charles S. Mepnen about
the "Liberty" Amendment
resolution now being consid
ered by the Nebraska State
Legislature.
The debate was sponsored
by the Young Democrats last
night at Love Library.
The proposed amendment
would eliminate the federal
income tax and curtail certain
governmental activities in the
area of business.
"It is ludicrous that mature
men can be seriously discuss
ing such a proposal," said
Rev. Stephen, who is minister
of the Unitarian Church of
Lincoln.
Rev. Stephen stated that
the bill made "no economic
sense." "The bill would elim
inate all federal activities not
specifically stated in the con
stitution." Eliminated, said Rev. Ste
phen, would be the United
States participation in the
United Nations, the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, Social
Security, the Federal Commu
nications Commission, the
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, soil and fish and
wildlife conservation, national
parks and public welfare pro
grams, because these all hi
terfere with the freedom of
the individual.
As a former state chairman
of the proponent group for
the bill, Dr. Olney said that
the money not collected by
income tax would be saved
in lessening governmental
business losses.
"Twenty-two billion dollars
would support the defense es
tablishment as it should be, if
it were not for these business
es that are run willy-nilly by
the government and lose so
much money," said Dr. Olney.
The bill would, upon approv
al by two-thirds of the state
legislatures, be submitted as
a formal amendment to the
states by Congress.
The resolution "neither se
cures nor promotes personal
freedom," said Rev. Steph
en. He spoke of the bill as
"economic rovalism" and ad
ded that it would "prevent the
national community from reg
ulating itself."
"When the federal govern
ment goes into competition
with you and I as citizens,"
said Dr. Olney, "it makes for
a very bad situation."
Rev. Stephen said that the
proponents of the bill want to
revert to the Articles of con
federation."
"Return the state to full
sovereignty is the wish of
thse men," said Kev. fctepnen.
"No matter what is aone,"
said Dr. Olney, "we will not
continue to go on to a con
dition of a five- to ten-billion
dollar debt every year.

peared to support this propos
al," said Rev. Stephen. "No
national political figure has
appeared either, including
Sen. Goldwater."
Many proponents of the
group, said Rev. Stephen, are
members of the "well-heeled
rightest movement" and of
the "John Birch Society and
racist organizations. He list
ed the heads of numerous
state proponent groups that
are connected with the Birch
Society.
The bill, maintained Dr. Ol
ney, "will force our govern
ment to abide by the law.
He said that the bill would
"make your dollar worth
something," instead of "let
ting the bureaucrats have the
money and then have it drib
ble back to you."
Recall
Petitions
Stopped
A drive to recall two Arts
and Sciences representatives
from Student Council was
called off yesterday in t h e
light of "new developments."
Bob Cherny, a student in
Arts and Sciences, who began
the campaign last week to
recall Susie Segrist and John
Cosier, told The Daily Nebras
kan that he suspended the
drive due to "the encourag
ing effect the move worked
in the two members con
cerned."
At the time the campaign
for signatures was called off,
Cherny said nearly 75 p e r
cent of Arts and Sciences con
tacted were signing the peti
tions. He estimated that about
300 people had signed the re
call petitions by late Thurs
day, and said that the number
would have equalled the num
ber of votes electing the two
if the drive had been contin
ued until Monday. To recall
an Arts and Sciences repre
sentative 35 per cent of the
college, or about 1,100 students
must sign.
The petition accused Cosier
and Miss Segrist of "misrep
resentation." Chemv said the "encourag
ing developments" were
"Miss Segrist s motion t o r
nresentinz the Student Coun
cil agenda ahead of time,
which can only be seen as an
attemnt to increase contact
between representatives and
students.
Miss Segrist presented a
motion to the Council Wednes
day to make the agenda pub
lic before meetings.
Cherny said "Cosier has
exhibited his intentions to
ward better representation
and responsibility in conver
sations with several people
since the recall drive was an
nounced." "In the light of these de
velopments, we see no reason
to push the issue at this time.
We feel that our drive has
been a complete success," he
said.
Cherny also noted that the
drive against these two rep
resentatives had been only
part of an objection to tne
"nhstrnrtinnism" of several
Council members, "but it Just
happened that it was tnese
two that we could take action
against.
"I hope that the interest ex
hibited bv the students par
ticipating in this drive will
not be lost, but win carry over
intn Student Council elections.
which are only a few short
weeks away, and that tms in
terest will lead to an even
more responsible and repre
sentative Student Council,"
Cherny said.
