Federal district judge Rob
ert Van Pelt Tuesday after
noon cited a University jour
nalism student for contempt
of court for contacting seven
members of the Duane Pope
jury.
Judge Van Pelt cited Gene
Gaddie, for allegedly con
tacting the jurors and inquir
ing into their private lives.
He announced the citation
after six persons on the regu
lar jury panel and one alter
nate juror told, in open court
Tuesday, of receiving tele
phone calls Monday night
from a person identifying
himself as a journalism stu
dent assigned to determine;
how trial duty was affecting
the private lives of the jurors.
Judge Van Pelt termed the
action "highly contemptuous."
He asked the juro;s whether
any of them felt that because
of the calls they could not
continue to be fair and impar
tial jurors in the case. None
indicated such an effect from
the calls. There was no ob
jection from defense or pros-,
ccution to keeping the present
jury.
Judge Van Pelt said he
would determine Gaddie's
punishment following the trial
of Pope, who is charged with
killing three, wounding one, ;
James Bond J
Fills Today's
Hero Concept
James Bond fills the mod
ern Americans' concept of a
Wo. according to Frederick
I nk and Robert Knoll of the
' niversity English depa.-i-ment.
But the two instructors
personally are not J m e s
Bond fans.
"If 17 million people buy a
book, they must see some-'
thing in it." Link said.
The secret agent was the
subject of one of a series of
KUOX-TV programs from the
English department dealing
with the hero in literature.
Knoll, who helped organize
and gather material for the
program, said. "I never read
murder mysteries myself.
They bore me."
He called the James Bond
books "wish fulfillment." and
an "attempt to simplify social
pressures."
"Bond is interesting from a
sociologist's point of view."
Link said, "since he apparent
ly typifies what Americans
think a hero should be." Link
pointed out that Bond is a
member of the middle class.
Compared to the Classical
hero w ho depended upon cour
age and bravery, james Bond
is "a bungler, relying on
fimmicks." he said.

One of the jurors said the
telephoning student identified
himself as being from Pro
fessor Neale Copple's journa
lism reporting class. '
Copple, Gaddie's instructor,
said Caddie had gone after
the story on a "misunder
standing." He said he was
working in a journalism lab
on a sidebar story to the Pope
case.
Judge Van Pelt noted that
Gaddie was not on assign
ment by Copple. A student ed
itor instructed Gaddie to get
a sidebar story by talking
with court officials, "but not

ple. !
Mort of the jurors, who saidj
they had been called, reported
that they refused to talk to

Handbook, Fellows Agree
Girls In Slacks Unfeminine
Bv Wavne Krcuschcr j
Senior Staff Writer
Every male loves female
legs but sometimes leg cov
erings can cause a pretty big
controversy in campus cir-'
clcs.
AWS, which is emphasizing
female conduct, culture and.
values during Standards
Week, makes its feelings
about legs quite clear,--
A sentence In the Campus
Handbook on AWS standards
says, "It goes without saying
that a well-groomed girl nev
er wears shorts, bermudas,1
slacks or jeans to classes, li
brary, activity meetings,!
downtown or the Union." j
Pam Hedgecock, an AWS;
board member, further em-
phasized the accepted leg cov-i
er on campus when she saidj
recently, "This has become aj
problem and coeds do need to,
be reminded that slacks and;
shorts are bad taste in the'
Nebraska Union and o t h e r
public places." i
Apparently many coeds dis-j
agree with AWS for slacks
and shorts, when the weather j
permits, are often seen in ,
forbidden places. , j
Should she or shouldn't she
wear slacks to the Union?
AWS rules say she shouldn't.!

for legs say about it? j
Out of ten males polled,
over half of them indi
cated a definite dislike or dis
taste for slacks in public1
places, while the others
said it depend on the girl's
figure or appearance. i
"I don't personally like to
see girls with slacks on!

Schuetz said. "It doesn't look
very feminine. However I feel
during informal hours of the
evening slacks are acceptable!

Steve Muncon said he felt
slacks w ere not proper attire j
in public places.
Lee Volkmer disagreed and
exclaimed, "Slacks are great
on girls, anyway on those
girls who can wear them and
who have good figures."
He explained that a girl can
usually tell herself by the way
boys look at her if she should
be wearing slacks or not.
Agreeing with Volkmer,
John Unthank stated that
slacks were fine on girls in
places like the Union If they

Programming in the future,
Scott said, will undergo defi
nite changes as the enroll
ment increases.
"Perhaps there will be a
decentralization of activities,"
he continued, "to allow for
more activities in places other
than the Union itself."
"Generally the outlook and
thinking will be geared to
greater numbers and a larger
campus," he said. As the
campus grows, he continued,
programming will have to ex
pand to meet the demands'
for more and more diversi
fied activities.
One program that he hopes
to expand is the fine arts
convocation series to ''keep
programming in step as a co-
; curncular part of education,
i He plans to continue bring
ing outside speakers to the1
i University such as Daniel
Schorr and Norman Thomas
who were here recently.
"Also our film society is one
of the best in the country and
we must maintain it as such.''
he continued. "Perhaps in
the future there will be dis-.
cussions of the films in the
series."
Scott noted the increasing
awareness of students to the
"outside world." There is a
distinct willingness to become
interested in not only college
issues but national and inter
national ones as well," he
commented.
Scott is a 1363 graduate of
Cornell College in Iowa and
is in the process of finishing
work on his Masters degree
in counseling psychology.
He said his new job as pro
gram manager is to think
of programs in respect to the
long-range outlook and to act
as advisor of the Union Pro
grain Council. "As assistant
program manager I worked
with the Union committee, as
sistants and workers to carry
out these plans," he baid.

he said.
Dan Duven noted that slacks
in public places are not ap
propriate. "Slacks just don't
look college-like' but more as
if the girl doesn't care what
she looks like." he explained.
"Slacks look all right if the
rest of the girls have them on
too." Bob Lassen said. He did
suggest that in a place like
the Union he would be em
barrassed if his girl had on
slacks and no other girl did.
Phil Perry noted that slacks
look "ok" as long as they
aren't grubby.
"I don't like slacks on girls
in public places," Ray Swan
son said. "They don't look
feminine like a skirt or
blouse."
Roger Schneider pointed
out that he likes seeing girls
in slacks, but that most of
them really don't look too good
in them. "If they don't look
good in slacks, I can alway
laugh at them if nothing else."
he said.
Gary Gunderson explains
that slacks are all right if the

Gene Pokorny. FSNCC

as "Can one and when should
one disobey the moral and
philosophical laws?" and
"What should one ask himself
when he considers civil dis
obedience?" w ill be discussed.
The speakers will include

pressed concern over the pro
posed station.
Larsen said that Ross has
the report giving the back
ground, possible uses and rea
sons behind the station and
that they would discuss the
report before the Senate
meeting this afternoon.
"Larry Keating, KNUS sta
tion manager, has offered to
help us set up the station,"
Larsen said.
Spearman Supports
Robert Spearman, assistant
professor of journalism, said
that he fully supported t h e
student efforts to obtain an
FM station
"Because KNUS studios are
needed by the School of Jour
nalism almost constantly, this
would necessitate studios for
the proposed station to be lo
cated elsewhere than Nebras
ka Hall." he stressed.
"I think that there is every
reason for assuming that a
University licensed, student
operated. 10-watt non-commercial
educational FA1 sta
tion would in fact be a fine
addition to the existing chan
nels of communication avail
able to the University s t u -dents,
faculty and administra
tion." he said.
Spearman suggested that it
might be worthwhile for '.he
Senate to investigate the pos
sibility of locating the pro
posed station in the Nebras
ka Union "which is already
a center of student activity."
He suggested the possibility
Friends of the Student Non
which has existing equipment,
as a studio.
Money Shortage
"I would doubt that money
would be available for the
purchase of equipment to op
erate the station out of exist
ing University funds," Spear
man said.
The Senate report estimates
the initial cost of the station
and equipment to be between
S4.20O and $9,000.
"Once we pay the initial
cost, the expense for the stn
tion will really be very IittJe
only between $300 and $500
a year." Larsen reported.
"While the School of Jour
nalism's official policy is sot
by Dr. William Hall who is
director of the school, my
personal feeling Is that t h e
students interested in estab
lishing a station are seeking
a very worthwhile addition to
campus communication facil
ities." Spearman said.
"For example, during pie
registration for second semes
ter, a campus FM station
could relay information on
courses which would be of
fered for second semester or
courses which were deleted
from information outlines.
Campus Communication
"In fact during any regis
tration period the station
could serve as an excellent
means of telling of which
classes and sections were
dosed and of which ones were
still open." Spearman added.
"For these reasons and own
ers 1 would be more than hap
py, as an instructor of broad
casting education, to help stu
dents in this worthwhile en
deavor," he said.
'Playboy' Dispute
Not An Issue Here
Controversy recently began
at other universities over the
prohibition of Playboy maga
zines in dormitories, but has
not spread here according to
University residence hall di
rectors. "I've never had anyone ask
about the subject," said Al

"Each director pretty much

it's not overly offensive, we
leave the boys alone."
"Right now we have no pol
