Member of British Par liament, speaks on war in Viet Nam. Britoo Soys U.S. Bombing rps6iss ' "Bombing in Viet Nam is not serving the purpose." observed Colin Jackson, member of the Labor Par ty in the British Parlia ment, in speaking to Uni versity students. The bombing, he said, is morally doubtful and "tacti cally, is not bringing the North Vietnamese to t h e conference table." He pointed out that the problem has existed for many years. "The Viet Nam people are tired of being fought over for 23 years," he said, with the Japanese, the French and now the Ameri cans being involved in the affairs of the country. French At Fault The French have a lot to account for, he said, point ing out that they "did not allow a democratic form of government to develop in Viet Nam." Assessing the U.S. policy n Viet Nam, a radio com mentator for the British Broadcasting Company said, "What horrifies me, but it is not my business whether the United States doesn't want any friends, is the small group of hawks who want to bomb Viet Nam to 'smithereens'. " Jackson described Con gress as a group of hawks and doves, both in varying degrees. Bomb Strategy Wrong "The Chinese are de lighted we're doing this (bombing)," he said. The Chinese point out the United States to the Afro Asian countries. "China Is taking a back seat in the war," he added. Noting that U.S. bombing is not achieving its purpose, lie pointed out that the U.S. is bombing in the Jungles and paddy fields and that Animal Science Building To House Labs, Clams Although building plans liave not yet been drawn for the new animal science build ing to be built on East Cam pus, the facilities which the building will house have been determined. "During the last month, the architect, members of t h e administration, and members of the Animal Science depart ment have visited four states (Oklahoma, Kansas, Colora do, and Iowa) to get ideas for the building," Dr. Wal ter Woods of the Animal Science department said. Chemical laboratories and animal laboratories will be incorporated Into the build ing to be used for both teach ing and research. Offices for the staff will also be housed there, Research programs will be conducted in beef cattle, wine nutrition, reproductive j NfON the Viet Cong is not a little group of Jesse James'. Concerned over instability in South Viet Nam, Jackson noted jokingly that the last name which lasted long enough to be remembered was that of Diem, "except possibly that of his wretched sister-in-law, 'Madame Bar becue'." "However, we must let the North Vietnamese know, without war, that they are not going to get their way," he said. Australia Safe If Viet Nam were to fall under Chinese domination, Jackson expressed no fear for Australia or New Zea land, saying "I know they (Chinese) are in the Olym pics, but they're not that good swimmers." Speaking on the Pakistan India crisis, Jackson said, "India is democratic, but the Kashmir people have no freedom." "Kashmir is a police state one out of every ten persons there is an In dian soldier," which he said is a "sad state." Wrong Aid To India He further noted that the wrong type of aid is being sent to India and Pakistan "military or money which goes to the pockets of the wealthy." "I would like an autono mous state, but India will not allow a plebiscite," he said. Concluding on what he termed a more optimistic note, Jackson said that "A cloud is looming over the horizon of a conflict be tween Russia and China." "We shouldn't .encourage the Chinese and Russians to fight each other, but if by some wild chance they should stumble into a disa greement why, we can't stop them," he added. physiology, and genetics. Woods explained that these programs would give "basic research in these areas through which graduate stu dents will be trained and al so increased knowledge to solve problems in animal production." Some examples of research activities are beef cattle and swine digestion experiments, physiology of reproduction studies using laboratory ani mals, breeding and selection work with rats, and rumen fermentation studies. The Legislature has appro priated 1.6 million for the building which will be located near the Meats Laboratory. The Animal Science depart ment has been working with an architectural firm in Omaha. Tuition Hike Hurts on-Nebraskans By Jan Itkin Junior Staff Writer Both University enrollment and tuition were higher this fall than ever before. Tuition was raised $35 a se mester for residents and $135 for non-residents, bringing tui tion to $167 and $435 for resi dents and non-residents re spectively. Non-resident Drop According to figures re leased by the Office of Stu dent Affairs, the tuition hike had an effect on non-resident enrollment. Although non-resident en rollment was up 131 students from last year, non-residents represent only 12.9 per cent of the total enrollment as com pared to 14.2 per cent last year. Freshmen enrollment has increased by 1.020 students making a total of 4.666 fresh man but non-residents com prise only 8.9 per cent of the new students as compared to 10.5 per cent last year. John Aronson, director of RAM To Organize Inter-Dorm Group By Steve Jordon Junior Staff Writer Plans for an Inter-Dorm Council are being made by Residence Association For Men (RAM), the student gov ernment of Selleck Quadran gle. Still in the early planning stages, the council would serve to coordinate social events and act as a central organization for the 4.000 dormitory residents at t h e University. "We have several constitu tions of other campus resi d e n c e hall governments," RAM vice president Larry Anderson said. "What I would like to see is a council of four officers elected at large from the res idents and the presidents and vice presidents of each hall," he said. Progress in the plan is be ing hefd up because Abel and Cather-P o u n d dormitories have not set up a .working government. Vol's 'Inconsistency' Irs. Biegert 'Resign Or Drop Out' Mrs. Maureen Biegert, Democratic national commit teewomen, challenged Val Pe terson, president of the Uni versity Board of Regents' and announced candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, to "either resign from the Board of Regents' or drop out of the gubernatorial race." She offered this challenge at last night's meeting of the Young Democrats after pre facing her remarks by an nouncing she was "most as suredly and positively not run ning for political office." The Board of Regents', she explained, was historically non-partisan and Peterson's announcement of last week was "inconsistent to this his torical non-partisan stand." Mrs. Biegert said that Pe terson was confusing the peo ple of the state by his "dual role" and that they are "at a loss to know if he is appear ing at one of his numerous speaking engagements a s president of their University Board of Regents' or as a candidate of the Republican party." "1 bear no persona ill-will toward Mr. Peterson, she added. "In fact, he came to see me the week before he made his announcement." Mrs. Biegart went on to speak of patriotism of those who show their patriotism by working for their country and not simply talking about It. "We must remember," she sarid, "that the claim of patriotism can mask a lack of faith." This lack of faith, she con tinued, Is exemplified by admissions, explained t h e change in University enroll ment percentages as follows; "There are at least four pos sible causes for the decrease in the percentage of non-resident students. Some students may have decided to attend a college nearer home because of the non-resident tuition raise. "Conversely," he continued, "more Nebraskans may have attended the University be cause of the non-rrsident tui tions at other schools. That would result in an'(increase in the percentage of resident stu dents, j "Also, last yeai? admission requirements for non-residents rose sharply," Aronson explained. "We refused 34 per cent more students last year than the year before, and they were primarily non-residents. "And finally," Aronson con cluded, "more Nebraskans are becoming aware of t h e University's strengths and are choosing to attend for non-financial reasons." "We plan to do something definite about it in the next week or two," RAM presi dent Marv Almy said. "There will soon be too many dorms too far apart to keep activities from conflict ing," said Anderson. "The council would be a focal point to unite the dormitories." RAM has taken the initia tive in something that should have been done long ago. he said. "Two years ago there was a push to have an all-dorm gov ernment, but it was dropped," Anderson said. "Now we have to get busy to make up lost time." The lack of communication between dorms has been a growing problem since dorms are being built farther and farther away from each oth er, he said. Plans for the council ten tatively include the East Campus dorms, he said. Challenges those who fear that a speaker on Communism might "se duce a whole campus." She also challenged U.S. Senator Carl Curtis to "let us know his feelings on the John Birch Society." The John Birch Society also canie under fire through a unanimously passed resolu tion which was presented by Bob Haas, vice-president of Young Democrats. "Resolved: We of the Uni versity of Nebraska Young Democrats condemn forms of extremism in American life; including the John Birch So ciety, the Klu Klux Klan. and the Communist Party." Fund To Support Medical Award A $7,500 endowment fund in memory of Harry 7.. Rosenfeld has been estab lished in the University Foun d a t i o n. The Harry and Blanche Z. Rosenfeld Foun dation of Omaha is the donor. NU Foundation president Harry Haynie said income from the fund, about $3fM, will support the "Harry 1. Rosenfeld Memorial Award." The award will be given annually to a senior Univer sity medical student for an outstanding thesis on the causes and treatment of heart disease or of other related medical fields. Recipients of the award will be selected by the inter n a 1 medicine department chairman and members of the senior thesis committee at the medical college. 13) era Student Senate passed a motion yesterday which urges administration to establish dents will be pushing for con conference rooms in each ferencc rooms.

"A student," Baker s aid, "can often learn lot more out of class than in class." Baker stressed that motion did not require ; the i n e Administration to establish these rooms immediately, but that it "urged" them to con sider the idea as a guideline for future University plan ning. He said that the idea for conference rooms on this campus was initiated by Steve Abbott, a senior in Teachers College, and the new political party. Student Action for Government Ef fectiveness (SAGE). Baker said that petitions had been distributed and some 250 stu dents and facultv members had signed the petitions call- ing for conference rooms. Abbott, explaining the Uni versity's need for conference rooms to the Senate, said, "For too long the administra tion has been planning the educational facilities, or not planning them" and students haven't had enough to s a y about the planning. STEVE ABBOTT . . petitions 250 students signed Plans Begin For Linking Buildi I wo ings 1 Plans for a classroom-office building connecting Bessey and Burnett halls are current ly underway, according to Carl Donaldson, University business manager. The building, which will cost between $1.5 and $2 million, will be ready for use ,in 1he fall of 1967. Davis-Wilson company is the architect, and it is hoped that bids will be taken in the spring. ' The longest and hardest par! of a building such as this." Donaldson said, "is the 'programming how many stories, whether il should be rnotly classrooms or offices, whether it should connect the other buildings or be a part of them." An additional problem con cerning the building. Dona-id-son commented, was the ad justment and relocation of the greenhouse which is situate') between Bessey and Burnett on the site of the proposed building.

He said that many Univer sity professors have shown in. terest in having these rooms established. In other business at the Senate meeting, Sen. Bob Samuelson announced that the ticket office was reserv - ing 750 tickets for students use at the Missouri football game. He said that this was the first time the ticket office had ever reserved oui-oi-siate iick- ets soieiy tor stuaems use an(j that' it was definitelv a "step forward" for the stu dents. Samuelson said that since everal thousand students would possibly want tickets for the official migration to Missouri and there were on - ly 750 tickets, a ticket draw- ing would be conducted by the '. Association of Students of the . shows Kathy Weber and for conference rooms. Marching Band Swings With New Maneuvers First do a 48-count Skinny Minnie, freeze for eight, and then do a Hog Dog and a Teenie Weenie. Confusing?
