RARY piiyeiininniiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiu CAMPUS . . . NEW CONSTITUTION For the Associated Students of the University of Nebraska (ASUN) passed by a vote of 1333 to 335. The new student government will include three branches: legislative, judicial and executive. The president and the vice-president will be elected by a direct vote of the student body. EIGHT STUDENTS obtained a perfect grade average for 12 or more hours last semos ter. They were: Charles Smith, Susan Unthank, Dennis Beeson, Lloyd Reeder, John Goedeken, Paul Stelzer, Ste phen Berquist and John Cos ier. ELIE ABEL, NBCs State Department Correspondent spoke to students on th "United States and Southeast Asia," and called negotiation doubtful in Vietnam. "We face a period of great tension and insecurity," Abel said. There is a danger of land war in Asia as there was in Korea, and very few American sol diers have a stomach for that." CITY . . . STATEHOUSE MARCHERS marched partially around the Nebraska State Capitol in symbolic unity with Alabama freedom marchers yesterday morning. The inter-faith, bi racial demonstration had a secondary purpose, besides ex tending fellowship to Negroes and Whites for voting rights in Montgomery. The marchers carried placards urging Uni cameral passage of a fair housing law this legislative session. HOSPITAL CLOSING of the Veterans Administration hos pital was protested by the Omaha City Council. The Council said the hospital's closing would result in "an un conscionable reduction of serv ice to the sick and disabled veterans of the area." STATE . . . LT. GOV. SOREXSEN signed two bills into law this week. The measures, given final approval by the Legisla ture, were LB26, hiking the tax on cigarets two cents a pack, and LB27, increasing the state tax on beer by two cents a gallon. Sorensen said the measures would go into effect April 1, and required immediate enactment into law. GOV. FRANK MORRISON told members of the hospital subcommittee of the House Veterans affairs Committee that closing the Lincoln hos pital did not make "moral sense." He said "I don't think we should make a distinction between our commitments to foreign affairs and our com mitments to our own vet erans." NATION . . . ASTRONAUTS Virgil Gris som and John Young made space flight history by skill fully maneuvering their ship from one orbit path to another during their three trips around the world. After four hours 54 minutes, and 81 thousand miles, the astonauts hit the general target area in the At lantic but missed the bulls eye by 50 to 60 nautical miles. The two were picked up and flown by helicopter to the United States aircraft carrier Intrepid. GAS IS BEING USED ex perimentally in certain com bat conditions against the Viet Cong, U.S. military authorities said. As in police riot control operations the aim is not to kill but to temporarily disable opposition forces, "making them incapable of fighting."

This is the description Sen uansta uooper Hughes, one of the two women in the Ne braska Legislature, gave the Young Republicans last night of the Student Council's Senators Program. Sen. Hughes, who is f r o m Humboldt and is a former graduate of the University, said the Senators Program was not well conducted and seemed to bore the legislatur ers who had not attended the school. "We were told that we would actually hear a lecture, but all we saw were empty classrooms and it is not very interesting to walk into an empty room," she explained. She pointed out that if the legislators could actually hear a lecture, the pro gram would be well worth while. Sen. Hughes also said that the speeches they were given as they toured the c a m p u s lacked enthusiasm and that the script needed to be gone over. The Senators Program, con ducted by Student Council, in vites Nebraska legislators to tour the campus in hopes Stanford Over Rights Of In a university community, who shall judge what is mor al and what is not in sex be havior, in drinking, or in lit erature? This issue has stirred one of the most intense contro versies In campus history at Stanford University. The students are insisting that they must share In de ciding the rules of what is right and what is wrong. In principle, the administration and faculty agree, but how to do it and how far to go re main undecided. Dean of women, Miss Lu cile Allen, resigned after two student leaders reported she had accused English intruct ors of seeking to seduce fresh men girls by concentrating on "erotic aspects of literature." Dean Allen denied the alle gation. She and two other women deans resigned con tending that Stanford must clearly slate its position on "the rights of students and the rights of faculty and ad ministrative officers." Stanford's problems are part of the nationwide student pressure sometimes confused and sometimes turbulent for more personal freedom and participation in running their schools. At Stanford, the student leg islature demanded that the university authorities publish 4' Of Senators By Hughes that they will grow more familiar with the campus' needs and problems. Sen. Hughes also spoke to the Young Republicans on the ways of politics, the Republi can Party's future and import ant bills now being voted on in the Unicameral. She used the recently passed Bill LB25 which raises the gas tax half a cent as an example of the way politics can be in fluenced by outside pressures She pointed out an example of a senator who had been pressured into voting for the bill and called herself the principal opponent of the bill which was introduced by Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scotts bluff. ner reasons for opposing the bill were that Sen. Car penter was merely trying to see how many excise taxes he could get passed without letting the state adopt an in come or sales tax and that it would badly hurt the gasoline men who operate on a very small basis of profit already. Sen. Hughes, who is from a strong Republican family, al so had some firm ideas on what the Republican Party needs to do. "I was for Goldwater abso lutely, but there was a heavy vote against him and we can no longer go back to the con servative thinking in Nebras ka, we used to have in the Fight clear rules but with the stu dents retaining a veto power. Scott McBride, student body president said, "If students are to behave responsibly, they must have an opportun ity to see In writing that rules affect their conduct." Judicial reform is the goal of Stanford students. This goal was almost buried by the uproar over sex. A special faculty investigat ing committee whose findings were never fully published, said: 1. "Content and conduct of courses should not be Investi gated except by appropriate academic authorities." 2. "No person charged that the general level of attention to sexual matters in English courses Is excessive or inap propriate." 3.

The Daily Nebraskan Program for YR's 1930's," she stressed. She insisted that the govern ment needed to take a strong stand on issues and stick by it. The government needed to form policies and follow them through until they found they couldn't work and then change to another policy and follow that one through. Leader Of MRA Featured In Film A film honoring one of America's foremost represen tatives abroad will be shown on KOLN-TV Sunday after noon at 5:30. The film, "A Man to Match the Hour," is a half-hour doc umentary on the life of Pe ter Howard, world leader of Moral Re-Armament. Over 100 stations across the nation will present the film which is introduced and narrated by actor Robert Young. The film includes scenes from Howard's South Ameri can tour up until the time of his death in Peru last Feb. It presents a kernal of How ard's thinking on such vital issues as Viet Nam, Red Chi na, the Congo, Communism, race, youth, and America s world mission. Howard is shown speaking out forcefully on the need for Continues Students charges of 'sexual miscon duct between teachers in the English department and stu dents. " By Rich Meier Jr. Staff Writer Last week the University Regents approved anew degree, Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. The College of Dentistry now offers a Certificate in Dental Hygiene as well as the degree of Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. The certificate is given following successful comple tion of a two-year curriculum in dental hygiene; t h e Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene follows comple tion of the two-year curriculum plus two additional years of prescribed courses in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students who select dental hygiene as a major com plete all group requirements for Arts and Sciences except for a language. According to Miss Elizabeth Warner, Chairman of the Department of Dental Hygiene, there are ten girls in the program at the present time. "This is the first year of operation for this depart ment," she said, "and we have given preference to those who have had previous college experience." "We had so many applicants," she continued, "that we have rather a select group of girls here. "The training the girls receive is in the art of oral prophylaxis, patient education and X-ray technique. "As of April 5, anyone may have their teeth cleaned, for that is all oral prophylaxis is, by going over to the dental college and registering. They will go through a general examination, and then will be sent over here. Patients will also receive a free toothbrush, and instruc tion in the proper procedure of brushing and care for the teeth." The clinic facilities are all brand new, and located on the first floor level of student health. When the new Co lege of Dentistry Building is built on East Campus th Trask Outlines Views in U.S. Foreign Policy In a 40 minute speech last night, Professor David Trask outlined the de velopment of liberal and con servative views affecting American foreign policy af ter World War II. He described the two ma jor policies emerging after the war as the conservative iso lationists and the liberal in- the West particularly the United States to make ideol ogy the master motive of leaders and the led, and to give the ideological arm of policy the precedence it de serves. Howard was a graduate of Oxford and the author of 14 books. His books have sold ov er four million copies and have been reprinted in a doz en different languages. Before his death, Howard was one of the most sought after speakers in America. Over 70 different colleges and universities competed for time on his last lecture tour in America. During this tour in 1964, he traveled over 19,000 miles in one month to speak at 17 Universities. Chaplain Frederick Brown Harris of the U.S. Senate de scribed Howard as "a dynam ic prophet, herald of an idea whose time has come. II i s burning zeal became a pat tern of manhood at its bpst." Howard was the head of the world program of Moral Re Armament and had traveled throughout the world on in formative lecture tours. He had been in Asia ten times before his death. A Boston ra dio announcer referred to him as "the best friend Amer ica has abroad." ental Degree Approved Aiken To Speak About Philosophy As an attempt to "find out what I'm doing", Professor Henry Aiken wrote a paper entitled "The Three Stages of Philosophical Activity." Yesterday at 3:30 p.m., he gave one of a series of lec tures based on this paper to an audience at Burnett Hall. Aiken is a member of the Department of Philosophy at Harvard University. At 7:30 tonight, he will speak on "Ide ology and Mortality" in t h e Pan American room of t h e Nebraska Union. He has edited or authored more than 14 books, besides many articles and stories in magazines. His most famous work, "Reason and Conduct," was published in 1962. The first stage, or vein of philosophical activity, Aiken said, is "analytical, interpre- live." Analytical philosophy actu ally includes all philosophy. but is merely the base for the succeeding stages, said Aik en. "We will save time by de noting the controlling gram- Friday, March 26, 1965 ternationalists. "The isolation alists," he said, "felt that by avoiding over-seas involve ment America could avuid war." "On the other hand," he said, "the liberals believed that international cooperation in peace projects was the key to world peace." The conservative isolation ists wanted to make the West ern World a fortress exclud ed from the rest of the world. The liberals followed the pol icies of the Truman Doctrine in committing America to the task of preventing Commu nists from gaining in-roads to non-Communist areas. Trask referred to this latter policy as globalism, meaning that the U.S. should be active in all international affairs with an effort to advance the American cause. To the conservatist today Trask said, "Communist ex pansion is the greatest inter national threat facing Ameri ca," whereas the liberals' fear is in "over-commitment." "The conservatist," Trask said, "is willing to run the risk of nuclear holocast to stop Communist expansion." They feel that nuclear war fare is a feasible policy un der certain conditions. The liberals for the most part have had arms control as a generally constant objective. They fear a continued arms race, whereas the conserva tive fears the loss of deter rent power. Trask said that the general American policy since World War II has been along the lines of the liberal interna tionalists. The "controlled re talitaion" policy of President Johnson in South Viet Nam is in effect an application of the fundamental policies of the li beral internationalists. clinic and the college will all be boused in the same building. Jackie Furst, dental hygiene student, is enthusiastic about the program. "What is so great about being a dental hygienist," she said, "is that even if you are married you can pretty well work around your home schedule, There is such a great demand you can work practically anywhere in the United States. "We take some of the same courses as the Dent students," Miss Furst said. "For example human ana tomy, and dental anatomy. It was pretty hard to get used to the bodies at first, but after that the dent students were very helpful. In dental anatomy we carved teeth out of ivory. "The last eight weeks of last semester we also as sisted with the patients in the dental college clinic. The students were very helpful and would explain what they were doing. We also got to take x-rays, and read charts. "I really enjoy their program," she said, "the new clinic with all the latest equipment really makes it nice." Judy Killham, another student, said, "I think the whole program is just great. We have such fabulous in structors and with just ten of us we all know each other, and the classes are small. The instructors take the time to give you individual help. "Being in this profession really makes you conscious of your teeth; they are so important to take care of," Miss Killham said. "People should sign up to come over and have their teeth cleaned, and learn how to brush properly. The toothpaste you use does not make that much difference, salt and plain baking soda work just as well. In fact, just plain water would work if you have the proper action." ' ' mar when we talk about our selves in respect to when we talk about others," said Am en. "Philosophical analysis ii not merely linguistic philoso phy,' 'Aiken said. When the problems of lan guage and terminology have been solved," Aiken said, "we can turn to self-transcendence and self-determination." The mistake that occurrs in ana lytical philosophy, he said, is that "man is not merely the talking animal." "Forms of words are not the main forms of life," Aik en said. People who attempt to determine life only through words are guilty of not see ing that words are only one aspect of man. The task of appraisal and evaluation forms the second, and following stage of philos ophy. " 'Meaning' has two mean ings," Aiken said. The con ventional use is what men want to say when they use a word. The other sense of "mean ing," said Aiken, "is the more basic question of the signifi cance of a form of life." Appraising and criticizing life and the present goals and attitudes of men is an endless task, said Aiken. The third stage is one that "only a few choice philosoph ers are fit to perform," he said. "Creation and reconstruc tion" are the object of t h i s stage. "The final aim of Phil osophy is not just to under stand," Aiken said, "but to change the life of the philos opher." In changing his own life, he said, the philosopher "can't speak for anybody else; how ever, if I can help you un cover your anxieties that are similar to mine, so much the better," Aiken said. The contemporary existen tialists have helped man in this field of philosophy, he said. "They have broken through a traditional set line and of fered us new relationships to consider," Aiken said. "We become involved in ourselves in relation to o u r pasts and our futures," he said. "They have created new obligations, new senses of guilt and new means to free dom." "These problems are creat ed by the greatest of the 19th and 20th century philosoph ers," Aiken said. Not only existentialists are responsible for breakthroughs in this area, however. "Bertrand Russel, one of the great phUosophical creat ors of our age, represents a whole different attitude to ward life," he said. In this sense. DhilosoDhv is like politics ("though this is very shocking to say"), said Aiken. It tries to change the world by trying to understand it. "I am not sure that the changes brought on by phil osophy are an improvement," he said. One objection to Karl Marx, in this line, is that he started becoming a politician too soon. The philosopher has no rieht to become a politician before he has a clear picture of truth. Then, Aiken said, he can try to change his world. Philosophy is "subjective activity ,like prayer; not an impersonal activity, like some kinds of teaching," Aiken said. "I am concerned by what my mind is, what my mind is becoming, and what my mind should become," he said.
