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."

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."

tended the University of Ne
braska.
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.

Over Rights Of
In a university community,
who shall judge what is mor

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

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

She pointed out an example

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.

Scott McBride, student body
president said, "If students
are to behave responsibly,
they must have an opportun

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

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."

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

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.
