'Historic' Legislature Still In
By Sandra Andersen
This legislature is an his
toric one because .it has been
willing to face, and has faced,
every major issue in the
state, according to Lt. Gov
ernor Philip Sorensen.
"For years, Nebraska has
just been trying to catch up,
rather than facing up to the
issues. This year we've
stepped out and done some
real planning for the future,"
Senator Fern Orme of Lincoln
said.
According to Senator Terry
Carpenter of Scottsbluff, this
legislature has passed more
far reaching legislation than
any in the history of the state.
Sorensen commented that
"whether you agree with the
decisions or not, I think that
everybody has to admit you
don't ever solve problems un
less you face up to them and
try out a solution."
Income Tax
Sorensen said "The Income
Tax bill (LB 797) is the bill
that has created the most in
terest, the most pressure, the
most drama, the most excru
ciating decisions, and will
have the most repercussions."
Senator Orme agreed that
the altering of the tax base
was one of the most important
issues in this session. "A lot
of the bills we pass have a
fiscal relationship," she said.

"Property is no longer an in
dication of wealth, and the
property owner can no longer
carry the load."
Senator Richard Proud,
Omaha, said that the income
tax problem is far from
solved because a referendum
has been started.
Education Bill
Mrs. Orme said that there
seems to be more of a stress
on education this session. She
said that the six-year plan for
improvement (LB890) is quite
adequate.
"This bill will give the Uni
versity a real boost in meet
ing its growth, and enable it
to expand, expecially in the
science complex," according
to Senator John Knight of Lin
coln. Sorensen said that it pro
vides for some long term
planning for the first time.
"This long term planning pro
vides for the construction of
a science complex at the Uni
versity, and other necessary
building for the University
he said.
Tuition Increase
Mrs. Orme said that she
didn't think tuition should
have been raised. "I was in
favor of LB 896 which would
float bonds to do the build
ing," she said.
"Tuition is already too high

as far as I'm concerned,"
Carpenter said. "But the Leg
islature didn't give the Board
of Regents any choice in the
matter."
Carpenter said that this
could have perhaps been pre
vented "if the students would
have marched, and expressed
a physical interest; and con
tacted their senators."
"But they were discour
aged, directly or indirectly,
by the Chancellor and the
Board of Regents," Carpen
ter said.
"This show of interest,"
Carpenter said, "would also
have taken effort, which the
students weren't willing to put
forth."
Proud said, "The problem
of education doesn't appear
to be near solution. The pre
sent method of solving edu
cational problems borders on
the ridiculous. We don't know
where we've been, or where
we are going, because no
group has sat down and tried
to figure it out."
Public Power
The reorganization of whole
sale Public Power . Districts
is an issue that has tremen
dous implications, according
to Sorensen.
"For years a situation con
tinued which, in the minds of
man people, has been a
problem," Proud said. This
legislature has acted in a
forceful and positive manner.

Viet Nam:
Chances For Favorable
Grow Dimmer As Time
By Wayne Carlson
While the possibility of ne
gotiation on the Viet Nam
question still, exists, the
chances of a favorable settle

of the University History De-
Session f
Length of Legislature
This session of the Nebras
ka legislature will be the long
est on record. It has already
been in session 134 days. This
exceeds the 1961 session, the
previous record, which lasted
132 days.
There are 49 senators this
session. This is six more than
there have been in an pre
vious sessions; thus there are
more people to introduce bills
according to Hugo Srb, clerk
of the Legislature for 37
years. Srb said that there is
also one new committee, the
Committee for Urban Affairs.
This body has worked hard
er and longer than any other
according to Srb. "People
criticize the length," he said,
"but some people don't rea
lize that the senators get paid
the same amount no matter
how long a session is."
"Length has nothing to do
with importance," Carpenter
said. "What we do affects the
lives of ever person in the
state. "This takes time."
Senator Marvin Stromer of
Lincoln said, "As long as you
have demands, you have to
take the necessary time to
see that a thorough and com
petent job is done."
"People should recognize
the contribution these sena
tors are making." the Lt.
Governor said. "People
should be aware of the fact
that almost all of the senators
work long hours conscienti
ously." partment.
Trask and others have ar
gued for a diplomatic rather
than a military settlement for
quite some time, and their
prophecies have been borne
out, he said.
Trask said that those who
argued in favor of a military
settlement have been some
what discredited. "Just to
hold the line in Viet Xam un
der our present policy re
quires ever increasing num
bers of troops," he said.

must then present the whole

he said. This course of action
may or may not bring with it
a solution, but at least we
would gain time, Trask1 said.
The issue at stake, accord
ing to Trask, is the basis on
which we are in Viet Nam.
The basic problem is bow we
are to "deal with the devel
oping world." TrasK empna-
sized that he is not in lavor
of pulling out of Viet Nam,
however.

Athletic Scholarship
Program
By Steve Hungerford ,
"N.U.'s athletic scholarship
program is increasing every
year," according to Tippy
Dye, athletic director at the
University.
This program, termed the
Grant-in-Aid Fund, "has made
it possible for students to at
tend the University, who oth
erwise would not have had
the privilege, and has played
a big part in N.U.'s ever-improving
athletic program,
since gate receipts have not
always permitted us to be
competitive with other B i g
Eight schools," according to
J. S. Pittenger, ticket man
ager. The fund operates for the
benefit of varsity athletes in
all sports, and is sanctioned
by the NCAA.
A full scholarship includes
room and board, books,
tuition, and $15 per month
spending money.
Four organizations contri
b u t e substantially to the
Grant-in-Aid Fund. One of
these, the Touchdown
Club, contributes approxi
mately $42,500 per year alone,
according to Clarence Mitch
ell, Jr., the club's president.
The Touchdown Club was
started approximately ten
years ago by a group of Lin
c o 1 n businessmen working
with former Athletic Direc
tor Bill Orwig. Under Dye,
the club's membership has in
creased to about 700 members
from all over the United
States.
Members contribute $100
per year to the Grant-in-Aid
program, for which they re
ceive a membership card,

ing along with what the Red
Chinese have wanted us to do
all along, Trask said. He said
that Instability will continue;
as long at a war continues,
and this instability is the tool
of the Chinese.
"China is the only nation
that can possibly benefit from
a war in Viet Nam," accord-
ing to Trask. The fear of in
creasing Chinese power would '
probably cause the Russians
to collaborate with usr in a I
diplomatic settlement, while;
they probably would not fight
on our side in 9 war. ' ''

J Trask said he could not
.really comment' oh Taylor's
being replaced by Lodge, but
that it seemed that "Lodge
related more effectively with
the Saigon regime than Tay
lor." No ambassador will s u c
ceed, however, until we stress
the diplomatic solution
through the State Department
rather than a military solu
tion through the Department
of Defense, Trak speculated.
Something must be done in

said. While war is not inevi

$100 is also tax deductable.
In addition, "all club mem-
b e r s receive preferential
treatment for tickets," Mitch
ell said.
"The Husker Achievement
Award Club is a group of 75
firms and-or individuals who
donate $1000 per year to the
Grant-in-Aid Fund,", Mitchell
said. The membership is lim
ited because, according to
Dye, "if you have a ceiling,
there is a waiting list." Mem
bers of the club receive ba
sically the same benefits as
do members of the Touchdown
Coub.
Anyone who donates from
$1 to $5 is eligible for mem
bership in the Extra Point
Club. The club sponsors Mon
day noon luncheons, at which
films of the preceding Satur
day's game are shown, with
comments by the coaching
staff.
Perhaps most unique is the
Beef Club. It was "formed to
give beef to the University
training tame," Mitchell ex
plained. There are two steps
in the process. A rancher do
nates a beef and a feeder
nourishes it. When fully
grown, the animal is butch
ered and served at the train
ing table. Both the rancher
and feeder enjoy the same
benefits as do members of the
Touchdown Club.
Donations to N.U.'s athletic
scholarship program rank
among the leaders of the Big
Eight, Dye said. Mitchell said
he believes that "without
these clubs we couldn't have
