A program presenting t h e
opportunities for summer ser
vice work and travel for col
lege students will be present
ed in the Nebraska Union at
7 p.m. Wednesday.
Called "Invest Your Sum
mer", the program is spon
sored by the University Coun
cil of Churches, a student or
ganization. It will consist of
talks given by students who
have participated in service
projects and an informal dis
cussion period. There will be
literature available on a
myriad of different programs.
This is the first time such
a program has been held on
a campus-wide basis accord
ing to the Rev. Bruce Mc
Spaddrn, campus pastor ad
viser to the council. He said
program emphasis will be on
service projects.
Most of these summer ser
vice projects are sponsored
bv religious or humanitarian
groups, McSpadden noted
He said literature about Civil
Rights projects will be avail
able.
Some of the projects pay a
small salary, although most
provide living expenses only.
Nearly all the projects re
quire an investment by t h e
participants.
Scholarships Available
Scholarships may be ob
tained by participants. The
YWCA and YMCA "give con
siderable financial help" to
participants in their service
projects according to Linda
Cleveland, who spent the past
summer in South America
with a YWCA service project
group.
The summer projects avail
able to college students can
be divided into about seven
groups, some of which are:
work camp projects requir
ing physical labor, community
service projects involving
community action, institution
al service in mental hospitals
or reformatories and semi
nars entailing full-time sum
mer jobs.
Other related projects in
clude an experiment in inter
national living, an interna
tional youth exchange and
youth hostels.
The initial financial output
for participants in summer
service programs ranges
from nothing to about $1,000,
if the work is overseas.
Work Overseas
A typical overseas service
project is Operation Cross
road in Africa. An independ
ent corporation. Operation
Crossroads involves student
study work-camp projects
and special service in the
fields of medicine, nutrition
and physical education.
Crossroaders live in African
villages with the people and

return to this country as un
official ambassadors of the
country they lived in.
Initial cost for the project
per person is approximately
$1,700. Crossroaders spend a
little over two months in Afri
ca. Miss Cleveland, who will be
speaking at the program,
spent nearly eight weeks in
Chile on a YWCA study semi
nar. She said she would defi
nitely recommend such a pro
gram to other students and
that the principle thing she
derived from her summer
was an understanding of
"w hat real problems there
are involved in communica
tion between different cul
tures." She lived with a Chilean
family during her stay and
said she discovered that a
culture barrier was a much
greater obstacle to communi
cation than a language bar
rier. With scholarship help,
Miss Cleveland said she spent
"probably $1,000" for her stay.
Trips 'Good Experience'
Bob Bogott, a senior in elec
iricai engineering, went on a
Y.MCA Far Eastern seminar
two years ago. He said he
would advise other students
to go on a service project for
a European jaunt rather than
go individually because, "on
your own, you might end up
with a bad experience. With
the 'Y' you have people who
were already your friends
with you."
A junior English major, Jo
ellen Williams, said her eight
weeks study seminar in a
Chicago ghetto gave her, "a
new understanding of the
city" and made her realize
"what it means to live in the
20th century."
Bogott said that what he
derived from his time in the
Far East was "not something
that can just be pointed to. I
know I'm a much better per
son for it; it helps all the way
around."

Beckman presented to Pub

"When it was discovered
that the lens was broken the
photographer (of the Rappor
port firm of New York) told us
about 600 pictures would have
to be re-taken, she said.
In checking the lists, Miss
Beckman said that about 1,000
pictures had to be re-taken
Of these, 260 pictures have
not yet been re-taken.
She said the photographer
has flown back to New York
necessitating some immediate
action, if the book is to meet
its publication deadline.

Student Right
"Students have the right to
make suggestions but the fac
ulty should be able to reserve
the right to hold these sug
gestions as suggestions only,"
said Nicholas Babchuck, pro
fesor of sociology.
"I am reluctant, however,
to allow students to take an
actual part in the decision
making process," he said.
Charles Mcintosh, associate
professor of geography, said
"Matters of Faculty Senate
really seldom concern s t u
dents. If a matter has some
thing to do with them (stu
dents), however, they should
have some voice."
"The situation compares to
a factory," he continued,
"with the students being like
the workers versus the man
agement or decision makers.
Workers in a factory have a
suggestion box and students,
too, should be able to make
their opinions known."
"In some cases their opin
ion shouldn't carry any
weight," he added, "and in
others it should carry quite a
bit. The amount of weight
should vary as to the situa
tion." Student Members
"Student sentiment should
definitely be known before
making a decision," said
Richard Bourne, professor of
business organization and
management. "Student mem
bers on faculty committees
help serve this purpose."
"The faculty is not giving
up the right to make the de
cisions," he added, "but it
should take student view
points into consideration
when making them."
Robert Narveson, assistant
professor of English, said he
really hadn't thought about
the question and actually had
no strong feelings concerning
it.
"Students should have t h e
right to make suggestions to
Faculty Senate." said Jasper
Shannon, professor of political
science. "The weight of these
suggestions should depend on
the material presented and
t h e validity of the argu
ments." Elected Student
Shannon said that one fac
ulty senate on which he had
served had an elected student
member with the same power
as any faculty member and
that he thought it "would be
a good thing here."

gested that an interim body
of both faculty and students
be set up to serve as an ad
visory board to both the stu
dent and faculty Senates.
He added that he was very
much in favor of a strongstu
dent government through
which students could take an
active part in making deci
sions concerning themselves.
"Logical, worthwhile sug
gestions would carry quite a
bit of weight with Faculty
Senate." he continued, "b u t
rinky-dink mickey mouse will
carry none at all. To be effec
tive, student government real
ly should be academically ori
ented." Limited Weight
Thomas Thorson, professor
of zoology, said that students
have the right to voice opin
ions but that it is "difficult
to say how much weight iheir
opinions should have.".;'
"Faculty Senate is made
up of individuals," he c o n
tinued, "who vote as individu
als as they see fit. Weight of
student opinions should equal
the amount of influence they
(the students) can exert and
shouldn't merely dictate de
cisions." "Students should be heard,"
he added, "and if they can
convince faculty members of
their opinion, then the Facul
ty Senate will vote in t h e i r
favor."
"The Senate is a delibera
tive body," Thorson noted,
"and works somewhat the
same as- Gongress.Opinions
must be expressed and exert
an influence if they are to be
effective."
Students Welcome
At Faculty Senate
Dr. Richard Gilbert, secre
tary of the Faculty Senate
(University Senate) said
Thursday afternoon that all
students are welcome to Fac
ulty Senate meetings at any
time.
He explained that if a stu
dent wants to speak on the
Faculty Senate's floor he must
get permission from Chancel
lor Clifford Hardin, but that
any student can observe the
faculty meetings.
The next Faculty Senate
meeting, where the proposal
for a "non-test, no-attendance
check" day for Jan. 3; will
be presented, is Tuesday at 4
p.m. in Love Memorial Li
brary auditorium.
The Faculty Senate meets
the second Tuesday -of every
month. Every member of the
University staff who is assist-
ant professor or above is a
voting member of the body.
