Undoubtedly the lack of communication between Stu
dent Senate and the Faculty Senate is a great part of the
reason for the ineffectiveness of student government at
the University.
SUGGESTIONS THAT WERE MADE, resolutions that
were passed were never pursued further than the Senate
floor unless implementation could be made by the stu
dent senators themselves. Very often with the most im
portant legislation, the Faculty Senate body should be
consulted. But all the access doors have in the past led
to Student Affairs Dean G. Robert Ross's office.
Ross served, if not as the decision-maker himself,
as the middle man between the Senate and the faculty
. and other administrators.
THE ARRANGEMENT has not always been satis
factory. The immediate and open-handed contact between the
student and faculty governing group is essential. But the
January 3 issue that Student Senate voted to present to
Faculty Senate for their ruling is weak and can at best re
sult in a faculty resolution.
Further, the Student Senate will have only replaced
their middle man if ASUN Faculty Adviser Dr. William
Pharis is the one who presents their petitions, resolutions
or suggestions to the Faculty Senate.
THE STUDENT SENATORS themselves, or a mem
ber of the executive branch should have the opportunity
to present their resolutions directly.
If such direct action will not be possible, the Student
Senate will have lost their first chance in the history of
student government to be the aggressive, influential
group they should be.
Mail P

Today, in the news columns, we present a parodox
one that has occurred nearly every year at the Uni
versity. AWS SAYS they are investigating the problem of
women's hours senior key that the only persons complain
ing about the present rules are men.
And "today we present the opinions of ten University
women who almost unanimously believe that some changes
should be made.
This small group of University coeds is not alone.
Many others feel the hours restrictions are too harsh or
should not exist at all. Many senior women are very tired
or signing in and out, disgusted with the weekend rules
and the- Iate-date-night attempts at appeasement.,.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Why isn't the AWS
Beard aware of the discontented feeling that certainly ex
ists? We find it hard to believe that they are not aware
that many coeds, as well college men are fed-up with their
yearly invest gations of other campuses' regulation of
women's hours.
Other universities' situations and successes or failures
with senior keys, and more flexible hours should be taken
into consideration but they should not be used as an ex
cuse for no action at this university.
Jan Whitney. AWS president, has said again that they
hear all the complaints from men not from women.
Would a mailbag of protests from University coeds effect
a change?
We hope that it would. Board members are elected
to serve the women of the University, and we believe
that their letters would be read and be influeflcetf by
a mailbag of protests.
"UNIVERSITY SENIOR women should have the priv
ilege keys. Thev are at 21 emancipated from home and
should not be restricted at the University by a 12 o'clock
bewitching hour."
May that brief senior protest be the first of many
letters which might just might influence the AWS Board
toward more progressive action than just investigating
other school situations again.

Dear Editor:
Alabama Blue Cross and Blue Shield have taken the
liberty of questioning the success of our Cornhuskers in
the Orange Bowl.
A poetic nessage from the Alabama Blues received
by teletype in the Omaha office was answered n the fol
lowing manner:

Dear Editor:
In recent issues of t h e
paper, many people have
commented on administra
tion policy concerning addi
tional time to return from
the Mecca of the east after
the New Year's game.
Some have hinted, but
never developed, their
comments on a more gen
eral question; Is there now
developing, a sports-academic
paradox at the Uni
versity of Nebraska : H a s
sports" ceased to play an en
hancing and complimentary
role at the university, and
become complementary and
the principle achievement?
Time magazine has insin
uated this without citing
any authority.
What do we the authori
ties who attend the Univer
sity of Nebraska think? I
think we're just quibbling
over that extra day, on Jan
uary 3. The real quarrel is
whether a trend is develop
ing towards academanemia.
You say, what's the skin
ny about a trend? What's
the panic over one extra
day to support the team?
But another complication
is bolstering the trend and
others may develop. On Jan
uary 13, the day scheduled
for departments to use the
Coliseum for unit finals, the
Scarlet and Cream has a
basketball game. The
Littering Not Trite
Pear Editor:
The Decer ' r 2 issue of
the Daily Nebraskan car
ried an article entitled
Topic Is Too Trite which
was concerned with t h e
problem of littering on
another campus.
Trite or not. .1 is 'his
same problem on the Uni
v e r s i t v campus 'hich
prompts me to write ihis
letter.
Anyone who has to park
his car in the Nebraska Hall
parking lot must faoe t h e
prospect of tryin to run an
obstacli' course of broken
beer and liquor bottles.
Notes From The North Pole
Remember Aesop, the fellow in t h e
sheet?? Who went around astounding lis
teners with his tales of animals with hu
man reactions?? Yes, well, it seems this
fellow was sitting around with the boys
at his latest orgy, and suddenly was
struck by a penetrating analysis of hum
an stubbornness.
The way it came out is told in a tale
about the dog in the manger and the hun
gry cow who cou 'dn't eat obviously be
cause the dog was there, and dogs, you
know, have long, sharp teeth.
Well, sitting '..ere, I remember this,
and 't suddenly seems applicable to prob
lems today (if we in the Great Society
have problems; I'm no longer sure.) But
anyway, I remember the mean dog Cas
tro sitting, in Cuba for some time ; and I
remember quite a few of these types down
around the canal; and I remember the
long, sharp teeth of a motorcycle cult in
California; and I remember a few obsti
nate canines sitting in Times Square toast
ing marshmallows on their draft cards;
and somehow. I'm not sure Aesop's pene
trating analysis was penetrating enough.
Because it seems to me that if I were
the cow, and I was hungry enough, or at
least smart enough to figure out that there
would soon be a point when hunger would
be important, then I would've found some
thing better to do than stand around and
wait on some obstinate mongrel. Yes, it
seems to me that Aesop should have
gone a little further with 'that tale. ' ' "
He should have finished it with one
cow full of rightful wrath who picked up
one dog full of stubborness. and deposited
him unceremoniously back onto the floor.
Or if he wasn't strong enough there
must've been other cows In the barn who
wished to protect their mingcrs from dogs,
and who would have been only too glad
to set an object lesson.
Or aren't cows supposed to protect
their own????

Even if you are able to
successfully negotiate this
without a flat tire, in a 1 1
probability you wi!! not be
able to find a parking space
which is free of broken
glass.
It is quite obvious that
someone is using this o t
as their private drinking
grounds However it not
my inention to accuse any
individual or grouo, of this
practice, which is in viola
tion of several laws of boh
citv and state. It K")d be
urged that University offi
cials do something abo'ji It,
and as soon as possible
If the Campus Police are
not patroling this lot after
hours, they should be. Cer
tainly their duties include
more than just ticketing im
properly parked cars. If
these drinking litterbugs
can be caught in the act,
an appropriate punishment
would be to put thf-m to
work pushing q broom pre
ferably a small one, by
moonlight or flashlight A
state or city court vould
probably hand down a hard
er punishment, but I think
it would do more gona to
make the guilty parties un
do the damage tnej are do
ing, and this wo uU be much
more humiliating than a
fine or time in the lockpup.
In any case, something
must be done, ven if Uni
versity custodians have to
clean up after these dumb
jerks.

bleachers have to be ar
ranged in advance leaving
no room for any examina
tion procedure. Maybe we
could wait till the game and
give the final at halftime?!
I'm sure the administra
tion will meet its responsi
bilities and find space for
these finals to be given.
But the situation does add
emphasis to the question,
should the competition stay
on the field or be between

Editor's Trip Is
'Nothing Great'
Dear Editor:
So you took off last week
end and spent some time
on the beaches of Florida.
Big deal. Please be inform
ed that you are NOT the
only one of 15.000 students
on this campus that has
been to Cape Kennedy. Nor
was your trip anything
great.
You didn't happen to meet
with any of the astronauts,
did you? Or participate in
a discussion session with
the representatives of Mc
Donnell Aircraft? Or an ex
tensive tour of the data
processing center at Patrick
Air Force Bass? Or discuss
the social and economic
pressures that have influ
enced the lives of the peo
ple of Cocoa and Melbourne,
Florida?
If the trip DID amount
to more than a giant fire
works display, you might
share some of it with us.
But if all you saw was the
launching of the mighty
Gemini-Titan complex, and
a granddaddy alligator eat
ing somebody's lunch, then
you are strictly from ama
teursville. I am being involuntarily
taxed to cover the cost of
publishing the Nebraskan.
If you cannot come up with
anything more newsworthy
than your weekend in Flor
ida, then I would suggest
that you suspend publication
and save us all some time
and money.
A lot of students on this
campus have been to t h e
Cape, but they didn't hap
pen to be editor at the time.
Final word to the wise:
Don't break your arm patt
ing yourself on the back, es
pecially over something as
trite as this.
Editor's Note: In answer
to your questions: Yes, I
did meet for cocktails and
dinner some of the astro
nauts, Grissom, Shepherd,
Carpenter, Schirra. Conrad,
and White to name a few.
In addition I was given a
complete tour of Cape Ken
nedy and Merritt Island,
from the launch sight of
Shepherd's first 70 foot rock
et to the future moon shot,
Saturn V rocket. The tour
was conducted by a NASA
official, Charles E. Jones,
who spent the entire day
answering every question
the 20 editors chose to ask.
We were present at the
pre-1 a u n c h briefings and
had several special sessions
with Air Force as well as
NASA officials. In addition
John Dille, Life magazine's
military affairs editor, who
undoubtedly is very well in
formed about every project
at the Cape was our per
sonal escort.
My story was not techni
cal, nor was it another ver
sion of the launch, becausa
you have had all that infor
mation in the daily metro
politan papers and news
magazine reports.
I am glad that you have
had the opportunity to visit
the Cape. Surely you, more
than those who have not
had the privilege, can ap
preciate the impressivenes
of the primeval setting
which is the focal center of
our space program.
