tunity ... as the result of
race, religion or country of
national origin."

STATE . . .
A BILL INTRODUCED to
the Nebraska Legislature has
drawn heavy fire from spokes
men for a hoard of tax-exempt
organizations.
State Tax Commissioner
George Dworak, through his
attorney William Peters, sug
gested that there is a need
for such terms as religious,
educational, charitable and
cemetery to be defined in lax

tax exemptions and a realiza
inn that citizens have an ob
ligation to assume portions of
the tax burden.
ANOTHER BILL, seeking to
abolish capital punishment in

'Open Society Prospects
Are Alarming, Promising'
Says Muiler
By RICH MEIER
Junior Staff Writer
The prospects of the 'Open Society are at the same time
alarming and promising, according to Dr. Herbert Muller,
distinguished professor of Indiana University.
He spoke in Love Library Auditorium at 3:30 yesterday.
He will speak tonight at 8 am at the Unitarian Church.
Muller said that the long
range trends of the Open So
ciety are predicated upon the
extraordinary knowledge that
man now possesses and has at
his command.
He said because we know so
much there is an acceleration
in the pace of change with the
possibility of catastrophy
hanging over our heads.
Consider just the changes
that have taken place since
the end of World War II,"
he said.
The atomic age, the Soviets'
emergence as a world power,
the establishment of the Uni
ted Nations, the revolt of the
non-western world, the con
quest of space, the advances
in genetics with the possibil
ity of controlling human hered
ity, the knowledge explosion
with the fact that over 90 per
cent of the scientists that
have ever lived are alive
today, the education explosion,
the population explosion, the
growth of the affluent society
where consumption has gone
beyond everyday basic human
needs, the advance of compu
ters, the wonder drugs that
can change personalities com
pletely and the advances
made in electronics are a
few changes he pointed out.
"We are living in a com
plex society, with uncertain
prospects," he said.
"The consequences of this
rapid advance is confusion in
all fields."
"In an open society the in
dividual is completely free to
do what he wants, one can
choose his own way. But no
society is completely open.
The real open society requires
a great deal of conformity,"
he said.
He asserted that the pres
sures of today are against
the individual. There is the
pressure to conform, to play
the role of the consumer.
"The sophisticate of today
takes the simple view of what
is going on. Anxiety plays a
big role. There is the assertion
that our plight is unique," he
said. "The cry is never has
man suffered so."

Skirting Other Campuses
Illinois Stays On Blacklist
For Prosecuting Professor
The University of Illinois
will remain on the censure
list of the American Associa
tion of University Professors
another year according to the
Daily Mini.
At the annual meeting in
Washington D.C. last week the
association decided the uni
versity must remain in the
list on which it was placed in
1963 for allegedly violating ac
ademic due process and im
posing an excessive penalty in
firing Leo Koch, assistant pro
fessor of biology.
The controversy centered
around a letter Koch sent to
the Daily Mini, in which he
condoned pre-marital sex re
lations.
According to Phillip Mony-
penny, professor of political
science, the university failed
to accept the Faculty Senate's
proposals for statutory chang
es which would give adequate
standards of protection for
removal of professors with
tenure. Monypenny said the
proposals were refused last
fall after the Senate sent its
recommendations to the ad
ministration.
In making its decision, the
AATJP noted the university is
making progress in revising
its statutes on academic free
dom. Representatives of t h e
Board of Trustees, and the
three university Senates Ur

Five members of the Sig
ma Nu fraternity house at
Colorado State University
pleaded not guilty at the Fort
Collins Municipal Court to
charges of disturbing the
peace and disorderly conduct.
The five fraternity members
were suspected of squirting
passing automobiles with a
fire extinguisher according to
the Collegian.
The Fort Collins Police
Department was called in to
assist Campus Security with
the airests.
The five fraternity mem
bers said they pleaded not
guilty because they felt the
charge was too strong for
"just a little fun.
Other weekend disturbanc
es, the Collegian reported, was
the turning on of 13 fire plugs
on the campus between the
hours of 9:30 p.m. and 2 a.m.
Saturday evening and Sunday
morning.
Also reported was the dis
appearance of 43 distributor
coils for VW's in and around
Fort Collins.
The Collegian asserted that
nothing else unusual happen
ed over the weekend.
Enrollment
Increase
Expected
The expected high tide of
record enrollments at the Uni
versity and four state col
leges has started to wash
smartly against institutional
shores already.
John Aronson, University
admissions director, said ap
plications from prospective
students are up about 20 per
cent over last year.
Not all applicants turn out
to be students. But the histor
ical percentage, if applied,
would indicate a total Univer
sity enrollment jump next
fall of 1,600 students.
This is above what the
University anticipated in i t s
budget and faculty staffing es
timates for the coming year.
Dr. Freeman Decker, State
Normal Board coordinator,
said entrance applications at
the state colleges "are al
most as high right now as they
were just before school start
ed last year."
That goes, too, for dormi
tory room reservation.
The Normal Board has pre
dicted a composite enroll
ment increase of more than
2,000 students in its four col
leges this fall.
Carpenfer
Predicts No
Tuition Rise
Senator Terry Carpenter
predicts tuition will not be
raised at the University and
the normal colleges.
Countering an earlier pre
diction by Senator Kenneth
Bowen of Red Cloud that the
junior colleges will not get
any state aid, Carpenter pre
dicted that the junior colleges
will get state aid.
"In the event of the pass
age of a broadened tax base,
both a sales and income tax
will not be passed this ses
sion," Carpenter said. He add
ed that in any event it will
not result in any material re
duction in taxes on real estate,
only more money to spend.
The Scottsbluff lawmaker
agreed with Bowen that he
would be a candidate for
governor. Carpenter noted
that he "certainly will have to
be considered as a potential
candidate for governor on the
Republican ticket."
He said Governor Frank
Morrison in five years in of
fice has not taken a single
step to enforce the tax laws
of Nebraska.
