To Unify Dorm Activities
Presidents and representa
tives of the University's nine
dorms formed an inter-dorm
coordinating body at a meet
ing Wednesday night in Abel
Hall.
The representatives i n d i -cated
at the time that this
coordinating body will be only
temporary, and that they
hope to form a permanent inter-dorm
council sometime
next year.
Before the coordinating
body was established, the
meeting's representatives dis
cussed how the dorms should
be represented on the council
and how much power the
council should have over all
the dorms.
Tony Redman. Cather Hall
president, questioned how
strong and permanent a dorm
council should be.

Hyde Park
Discusses
Religion
Thursday's Hyde Park dis
cussions revolved around re
ligion, a previously un
touched issue at the forum.
An official ambassador from
one religious group appeared
and members from another
organization spoke.
The United Campus Chris
tian Fellowship's UCCF) stu
dent cabinet president, Rog
er Ilcff, read a UCCF policy
statement before the forum.
Ileff read. "To be a stu
dent in a -university is to be
long to a community engaged
in revolution." The statement
continued. "We believe that
the present concern over the
use of warfare as a political
alternative is a valid one.
""We believe that an incor
rect tension exists that makes
real solutions impossible. The
tension on a university cam
pus cannot be between revo
lution and non-revolution."
Part of the conclusion of the
statement read, "The student
of today must be satisfied
with nothing less than a vis
ionary administration, a de
dicated faculty and the free
dom to learn."
A group of the speakers at
the forum were from one
small unnamed religious
group. The speakers dis
cussed the Bible and related
their personal religious exper
iences. Medical School

the independent role of the
Independents," he said.
Marv Almy, RAM Selleck)
president, pointed out that the
dorms need a strong council
to be better equipped to work
out their problems.
Almy said that a dorm
council could solve problems
such as those involving the
maids, food and rooms. He
noted that the number of dorm
residents will continue to in
crease substantially in t h e
next few years, and that tney
need to form a coordinating
council now 'before it is too
late."
Almy said that a dorm
council could also formulate
plans similar to the Interfra
teraity Council's tutoring sys
tem. He indicated early in the
meeting that he would rather

ordinating body.
M. Edward Bryan, director
of housing, explained that
when he first came to the
University the dorms were all
run separately, but that with
the addition of Abel Hall and
proposed dorms, a joint body
of students who can express
w ishes for all the dorms would
be extremely helpful.
"To protect yourselves from
vast organization, you need
to be able to communicate
with us as one body," he
said.
Tom Holcman. president of
Abel Hall, presented the mo
tion which established a tem
porary co-ordinating body for
all the dorms.

countries seeking admission.
How Much Power?
this body should work toward
collecting information and
working on problems for start
ing a permanent organization
next year.
Other agreements establish
ed that the coordinating body
will meet on the basis of one
vote per dorm, and that as
many representatives as the
dorms want may attend the
meetings. Each dorm will
pick its own represcntath e
for the coordinating body.
Representatives at the

would seem to center around
how successfully the Party
projected a different image
than the one the public now
has.
'We're always against
something, we're always neg
ative, we have to achieve a
different image beside nega
tivism," Frank Marsh, Ne
braska Secretary of State, as
serted. "Omaha attorney, R o b -ert
Kutalc said, "1 think the
Republicans get off-the-track
when they talk about govern
ment spending as though gov
ernment spending is bad. "
"It's most unfortunate that
people seem to have gotten
the impression that the Re
publicans are not gaining the
support of minority groups,"'''
said John Mason, L i n c o '1 n
City Councilman and past
Nebraska chairman of Nelson
Rockfeller's presidential cam
paign. The men were speaking on
a panel at the Young Repub
lican meeting Thursday night.
Republican Unity?
The panelists were asked to
respond to several .questions,
among them, "Can unity real
ly .come about in the Repub
lican Party and how .can it fce
achieved?"
Marsh answered, "We have
to learn that within the frame
work .of the Republican Party
we have to have afl shades .of
gray in order to attain unity.'"

of the group.
"'Many people who live in
apartments like to use the
lending library to decorate
their walls," Mary Tallman,
another member of the com
mittee said.
We hope to get more prints
next year," she added.
The prints are mostly oils,
Msss Pohlman said. They are
framed and include reproduc
tions of R e n i r s, Utril
Jos, Goyas, Van Goghs and Pi
cassos. New prints are purchased
Image Needs
Tbe Republican Party has
to embrace a diversity of
views and find a very central
issue" to agree on, Kutalc
said. Kutalc said that the Re
publicans '"need to realize
that our constituency is big
ger than one man's thinking
and needs more than one per
spective." Mayor John Lindsay of New
York City was accorded some
praise from Kutalc. He said
Lindsay has found a way to
appeal to a broad spectrum of
voters.
Marsh said the Republican
Party has sustained the image
of the Yich man's" party
when "there is more influen
tial wealth in the ranks of
the Democratic Party than
the Republican, the Republi
cans had better start making
31 look like they like "beans
because it's true."
Replying to a question from
the floor, Mason said he -expected
Val Peterson, former
president .of the University
Board .of Regents, to win the
Republican gubernatori
al nomination because he is
'"so much better known by
the rank-and-file of the -state"
than his opponent Norte"!
Tiemann. Tiemann, he s u g -gested,
"has a very good fu
ture" in the state.
Kutalc .disagreed somewhat
with Mason's statement as
serting, '"I think this question
is premature, if a relative un
known is going to run .on the
Democratic side then a rela
tive '.unknown .(like Tiemann )
on the Republican side will
have a better chance .of win
ning." YIt Future Plans

John Reiser announced that

Mrs. Boykin aid the pro
posal concerning the 'building
.of more married student
housing could he considered
very important as "many of
the foreign students are mar
ried and that little dab on
East campus is very bard to
get into."
"'As long as there are for
eign students," he said, '"we
do ihave a responsibility to

eyes on this .obligation."

no duplications.
Students may offer sugges
tions to the committee for
prints to be purchased. Miss
Pohlman said.
At the end of the year, a
post card is sent to students
notifying them that they most
return the prints.
Although they have never
had any trouble with students
returning prints, the commit
tee members noted that the
administration could hold
back the grades of a student
who did not return the prints.
