If. riwr HH ttM, ttmHmm II Poverty Program Aid Here By Wayne Kreuscher Junior Staff Writer The University has received $139,400 from the federal gov ernment for aiding students under the War on Poverty's work-study program. With this money approxi mately 450 students will be employed under the program and each will earn about $250 a semester.

This grant is part of the government's War on Poverty Program which is offering to tal grants of $8,939,291 to sup port the work-study program in 477 colleges for more than 29,000 students.

( I M .y Miss Morrow yr i Miss Wilson Vol. 80, No. 94 The Daily Nebraskan Friday, March 5, 1965 Semi CI Mb-BTIflBittBB By Rich Meier Junior Staff Writer The Faculty Senate Sub committee on Student Affairs did not approve the draft of the new constitution yester day. They will present to the Constitutional Convention, at its last meeting on Sunday, several questions for consid eration. According to Dean Robert Ross several members will meet with the Convention, and ask them these questions: First, should you spell out the relationship this new gov ernment will have with ad ministration, and other organ izations, such as the Daily Nebraskan, and the Union? Secondly, the convention will be asked if they think they have spelled out too carefully the relationship and role of the president and the vice president. The constitution is rather complex, does it need to be so? Thirdly, is there too much detail for a constitution in set ting up the electoral commis sion? And lastly, do you think you need such an intricate and complex judicial branch? Dean Martin asked, "I'm wondering what the relation ship of the Association (will be) to other student enter prises, such as the paper. "It isn't spelled out, and by this do you mean there will be simply no relationship?" "In this constitution there is very little said on responsi bility, and there is a great deal said on internal matters, the people who may serve, the form, and so on. "What I want to know is, what is this body going to do once established?" Dean Ross explained, "In other words what are you go ing to be able to legislate? Or, does this have anything to do with the Daily Nebraskan, for example. Will the present relationship change?" John Lydick was of the opin ion that they would have no control over these student en terprises, as they have not in the past. Dean Martin pointed out the President has the power to in troduce bills into the senate, and can participate in discus sion, but he cannot lead it. "There is no guarantee the president and the vice-president are going to get along." If he does not want to call on him, the president would get no chance to speak. "As a practical matter," he continued, "the president is a member of the senate, y e t you have denuded him from being a part of this group." William Pharis said, "the president has all sorts of stop ping measures, but no start ing measures." There is not any provision for a hostile senate. Dean Martin felt, that in the case of defining what these people are to be, the law of parsimony should be applied. "The simpliest structure should be used to do what you want to do." State Colleges Able To Grant HigherDegree A bill authorizing state col leges at Peru, Chadron, Wayne and Kearney to confer bachelor of science degrees was passed by the Unicam eral's Education Committee and sent to the floor on a 7-0 vote. Kearney State president Milton Hassel, speaking for all four schools said LB 111 involves no change in pro gramming at the colleges. The measure was one of four bills affecting state col leges receiving hearing. Amended and advanced was LB 113, revising the provi sions of law which identify resident students as opposed to non-residenC students at state colleges. The designa tion affects the tuition charged. Among other things, LB 113 reduces from six months to four months a residency re quirement and clarifies that the offspring of a newly hired faculty member at one of the colleges would be considered a resident student. Also amended and ad vanced was LB 108, which authorizes the state colleges to keep up to $10,000 in a re volving fund to make settle ment and equitable adjust ments with students, make payments for various day-today operations requiring im mediate payment and to pro vide for contingencies. Sent to the floor on a 7-0 vote was amended bill LB124, which would provide free tui tion at the University and state colleges for children of var veterans killed in action or totally disabled. Money, Asian 10 0 . n niie Problems Plague UN ations Facin most nous nsis By Wayne Kruescher Junior Staff Writer Is the United Nations dying? Will any way be found to make Russia, France and other countries who owe the organization money pay their dues without bringing the U.N. to a , crisis? Can the U.S. back down? Should the Red Chinese government represent China In the UN? The outcome of these questions could irean the difference between peace and war, freedom and slavery for all t h e world. To gain a better perspective of what Is happening to the United Nations and what its future will be in the world, the Daily Nebraskan presented these ques tions to Dr. Willard Hogan, who teaches a course at the University on the United Nations. "There Is no chance that the UN will disappear unless we have a Third World War," Hogan said, "but it is true that the UN today is on the verge of becoming a very Ineffective organi zation as far as taking action on world crises." He explained that the UN's effective ness during a crisis depends on the abili ty of its members to co-operate and work together. One has to remem ber, he added, that the UN has no ar my of its own, but it is a voluntary as sociation of member states. "The UN today," he stressed, "real ly can't go much farther than diplomacy and economic cooperation because of the East-West split, the different viewpoints of the Afro-Asian world and the many other things that make it more and more difficult for everyone to agree." "Fundamentally," Hogan pointed out, "the UN's problem is that it does not have the power to cope with all the burdens that have been placed on it." Hogan said that the UN was probab ly facing its most serious crisis in try ing to find a solution to the financial problem that blocked all normal business of the 19th General Assembly which has recessed until September. "There have been other serious crises," he said, "but his one is an In ternal crisis and a solution must be found or the UN will be badly weakened." The problem is that Russia, her com munist allies and France refuse to pay their share of the UN peacekeeping charges. The United States, who has paid most of the bills anyway, Insists that these countries pay their share or as the U.N. Charter says lose their vote in the General Assembly. The Russians have threatened to quit if they are not permitted to vote in the Assembly, but m far the United States has refused to back down and has con tinued insisting that the UN apply its rules on all delinquents. Thus there was a frantic search for a compromise. But no compromise was found and finally the UN adjourned in mid-February without voting on any issue. Meanwhile the Assembly ad journed and a compromise of some type is still being sought. Hogan explained that this financial problem is really not one of money, but of principle. The obvious solution, he said, would be for those countries who owe money to pay, but they refuse to do that so it remains very serious. "The United States," he added, "has an excellent legal case and we can't back down. We must stick to our stand." "If neither Russia, France nor the United States doesn't back down from Its stand on this problem, the General Assembly Itself can vote on the prob lem," he said. He explained that if the Assembly did vote on the issue and decided in favor of the United States, France and Russia may leave the U.N. or if It decided against the United States so as to keep France and Russia from leaving, the United States might decide that it should leave the UN or take some other action. "It's a dilemma," he stressed, "in which nobody yet knows the solution, ft looks like something will have to be put to a test and whicheverway the test goes, one or more of the great powers will lose support." "In my opinion," Hogan said, "France and Russia really don't want to get rid of the UN, but they want to prevent the UN from doing anything they disapprove of." The Russians, he said, want to he able to veto every peace mission that they don't like. He explained that first they tried to keep this control with the Security Council, then when the United States found a way to work around their Security Council veto, they suggested a troika which would give them veto pow er over the secretary general. When the UN refused Russia's troika idea, the So viet Union decided to try a finan cial veto. Hogan said that the UN could con tinue without France and Russia or for that matter lose 15 members and still continue many programs, but that its effectiveness as a world peacemaking body would be at a minimum. When asked if Red China should he admitted to the UN, Hogan said that it was not a question of whether China should be admitted or not, but which Chinese government should represent her. "In the long run it is quite obvious that the UN can't be effective at settling world conflicts or disarmament unless Red China does' somehow participate in the organization," he said. On the other hand, he said that If it was his decision he would not give the representation to Red China. "Making Red China part of the UN will accomplish nothing," Hogan stressed, "until China itself changes its aggressive, disagreeable attitude with the rest of the world." 4 -V-
