Thursday, March 17, McFarland Cont. from Page 1, Col. 7 stressed, "but rather with precious warm, red blood. It is a frightful price to vav. es pecially when you consider that the people too whom it is given let it fritter away.' cassius Clay was also in eluded in McFarland's speech "He changed his name to Cas- slus 'X' so that he could sign it. Here is a man who is clas sified 1-Y by the draft board because he cannot c o m p r e- nena simple orders. Yet he is a millionaire at the age of tnirty. Talk about o-nortunlty, nere is a irue example." "But when he is reclassid ned, we see pictures of him asking 'Why me!" He goes to Africa and speaks against America. He does all this, but u was tne opportunity eiv. en to him by our way of life that made him a millionaire. It is this way of life which he doesn't want to defend.' Not Intellectualism' Another subject was Allen Ginsberg, a recent visitor to the University. "What kind of an opportunity, what kind of an America would you have If you got what Ginsberg wants. We have to realize the dirty, foul-mouthed people don't compose intellectu alism." McFarland expressed the Idea that Americans must stop individuals from making a career out of being de pressed He said that there is no reason why Americans should not help those who are helpless, but we have to teach them how not to be poor. "Our country has a spiritu al heritage. It gave the world a concept of freedom based on a sovereign individual, created in God's image. What good does it do to teach free dom from God when we can't even teach that God exists. It is like invalidating our birth certificates. "You can't rewrite the De claration of Indepen dence without the Ten Com mandments." Individuality, Opportunity In conclusion, McFarland said that the arch of freedom has individualty and oppor tunity as its bases. "The American way pro vides the chance to be hap py, but it doesn't guarantee the same distance up the lad der. There is only one sys tem that does that, and it is Communism. Only it allows no one above the bottom rung," he said. "As an individual, you have the right to step on the bot tom rung and more impor tant, to climb." McFarland was invited to speak by Mu Epsilon Nu, a national undergraduate honor ary fraternity for men in ed ucation.

Dorm Delegates Disagree On Distribution Of By Nancy Henrickson Junior Staff Writer Representatives of the dor mitories disagreed on the al lotment of power and jurisdic tion to a permanent dorm council during the Interdorm Coordinating Committee (IDCC) meeting Tuesday eve ning. The need for unity between the dorms and a central gov erning body was discussed by the temporary committee which is now functioning as a central body. Marv Almy, IDCC presi dent, said, "We have to take action as a unified group; oth erwise we don't have any rea son for existence."

Tony Redman of Cather Hall said that the functions of a permanent council don't ne cessitate a strong body. "We don't seem to have problems. What we're work ing for is progress," said Jim Ludwig, Cather's new presi dent. He added that anything that changes the status quo operation in the dorms is out of bounds. Cather representative John Decker stated, "We don't re quire anything but coordina tion.

Areas For Action Among the functions listed by Almy for a permanent council were representing the students with the housing of fice, promoting unified action in campus elections and help ing new dorms to organize student governments. He also suggested that a dorm council could supply a tutoring service, determine discipline rules and represent the students in central plan ning agencies in order to have a say in architectural plans and the selection of stu dent assistants. "Most of the issues coming forward will be common to everybody, and we must have the power to handle these," Almy said. "We're here to serve the dorms, but once we've made a decision, we must have a unity of face." 'Policy Maker' Larry Anderson of Selleck Quadrangle said, "I think this group should act as a policy maker for all the dorms, and they, in turn, should all go along with its decisions." Almy appointed a commit tee of four to start working on a dorm council constitution to be presented at the next meet ing. Members of the committee and the dormitory they repre sent are Keith Olsen, Burr West; Elaine Kallos, Pound; Jim Ludwig, Cather; and Almy, Selleck. In other business, all the dorms with the exception of Love Memorial, reported that they had or would approve the contracts for an interdorm dance May 6. Because Love Memorial does not have a separate budget, it could not allocate its share to the dance budget. Nebraskan 2-Year Veterans Suffo The 1966 GI Bill of Rights will not give the draftee nough benefits to see him through college if he serves the regular two-year toour of duty. According to a pamphlet published by the Commerce Clearing House of Chios en (CCH), the 1966 Bill provides only one day of school per day of service. Because of this, a two-year veteran will get benefits for less than tnree academic years. Previous Wold War II and Korean Conflict Bills provided one and a half davs of spool ing for each day of service. inerefore. a veteran of two years would receive three years of benefits, enouirh for four academic years. The new bill also differs from previous ones in two other respects. One is that GI's who completed their ser vice duty as long as eleven years ago are qualifiedm The other aspect is that anyone entering the services in the tuture can count on the same benefits. The namnhlet points out some other technicalities that the veteran should consider. A GI who goes to school, providing he is unmarried, will receive $100 per month. If he attends a university where a quarter of class is alternated with a quarter of work, he will get only a80 a month. If the veteran goes to col lege on a federal scholarship, he will receive no benefits from the bill. If, however, the scholarship comes from a pri vate source, the benefits will be paid. An exception to this schol arship provision is the Ful- bnght Scholarship, which provides for study abroad. The GI can collect both the scholarship and the benefits from the 1966 Bill, provided the college he attends is approved by the Veterans Administration. An ex-GI receives no bene fits for on-the-job or appren ticeship training, nor does he receive them for studying certain subjects. Benefits for other subjects are received only if they include college credits. He can receive bene fits for still others only if he plans to become a profes sional practitioner in his area of study.
