The Daily Nebraskan
Political
Party
Unvailed
A new political party ap
peared on the campus scene
Thursday evening. It is the
Campus Freedom Democratic
Party (CFDP).
The new party was unveiled
Carl Davidson. He stated that
at the moment, the party has
no structure or platform, but'
a meeting will be held next
week to organize a convention
to decide the platform and
structure and also to pick can
didates to support for the
ASUN elections.
Announcement
The public disclosure of the
party took place at a panel
discussion sponsored by the
ASUN Associates. The subject
was "The Student His Rights
and Responsibilities."
Participating in the discus
sion were Kent Neumeister,
p r e s i d e n t of ASUN, Carl
Davidson, Russell Brown, ad
ministrative assistant to Dean
Ross, dean of student affairs,
and Dr. David Trask, associ
ate professor of history.
Davidson, stated the five
principles behind the party's
formation. The first is that the
student in a university 'belongs
to a community engaged in
revolution. The next is that
the student is an adult in a
community of scholars.
The third p r 1 n c i p I e ex
pressed by Davidson was that
the primary purpose of the
university is to search for
solutions to human problems
growing out of human needs.
Another basic principle of the
party is that freedom and de
mocracy are not student pri
vileges, but rather student
rights.
The final principle outlined
was that students have the
right to decide and formulate
all rules outside those of the
classroom.
"The existing structure of
student government must be
changed. The decision making
is all at the top; the govern
ment is topheavy. This deci
sion making must be moved
down to the grass roots of the
student body," said Davidson.
Critical Situation
"The situation is too critical
to change slowly. Change
must come about rapidly. The
student government must for
mulate all rules outside of the
classroom. Those within the
classroom should be decided
upon by the faculty."
Neumeister stated that the
essentia element in the uni
versity is the students and the
faculty, not the administra
tion. "The corporation approach
to university organization
must be modified. The stu
dents should take a part in
the creation of the rules and
regulations and it is the re
sponsibility of the students to
follow the rules set up. The
role of the administration is
secondary," declared Neu
meister. Representing the admini
stration in the discussion was
Russell Brown. Dean Ross
had planned to attend the dis-
cussion, but due to a change in
the time, was unable to attend
because of a previous commit
ment. "Based on reason, dissent,
confrontation, and continuous
dialogue between all areas of
the University, an effort to
re-evaluate the procedures of
all aspects of the university
should be pursued," said
Brown.
"The responsibility for the
procedures of these aspects of
the university should be
shared. They should not in
volve a guerrila warfare
where one aspect tries to
wrest power form the other."
Later, in the questioning
period, Brown stated that the
stage of shared responsibility
which could be obtained has
not yet been reached.
Principles
Trask stated that the uni
versity should apply three
.general p r i n c i p 1 e s to its
actions.
"The first principle is to
keep the regulation of stu
dents at a minimum. This
minimum being the safe
guards of the student's health,
welfare, and safety," stated
Trask. "To go beyond this
minimum is to limit the stu
dent's freedom."
"The next principle is that
the university must have safe
guards against manipulation,
coercion, and humiliation of

Union Expansion 'Possible'
The Nebraska Union has
submitted a program state
ment to the Administration
which could result in an ex
pansion of Nebraska Union
facilities by January 1968, ac
cording to Allan Bennett, di
rector of the Nebraska Union.
He explained that a pro
gram statement was a state
ment of the Union's present
facilities and what facilities
will be needed in the future.
"The Nebraska Union was
called upon to prepare and
submit a program statemen
he said, "including an anal
ysis of needs as we see them
in all areas."
Needs Assessed
Ah attempt wa then made,
he continued, to assess the
need for space in terms of
square footage and to present
it with proper priority.
"Our statement is under
consideration at the present
time and we will consult with
the Administration in the
next two weeks," Bennett
added.
In compiling such a report,
he noted, student enrollment
projections, the existing space
and how it is utilized, a pro
jection of need facilities and
"other factors" are taken in
to consideration.
An example of an "other
factor" is the use of the Un
ion cafeteria in relation to
the growth of dormitories.
$1.3 Million
Approximately $1.3 million
has been set aside for the
Union expansion "on the bas
is of available student fees
and the recent bond issue."
"With very careful usage of
these funds we could expand
by about 45,000 square feet,"
Bennett added.
He continued that the ex
pansion would be made to
the existing Union building.
The building could be expan
ed to the west, north and
east to envelop the patios and
another floor could be added
to the new part of the build
ing. The architect, Leo A. Daly
and Sons, -of Omaha, did the
plans for the expansion in th e
1950's.
"The man in charge of this
project has a personal inter
est in the University and will
help all he can," Bennett said.
Fall Construction
Although the projected
schedule is not firm, he con
tinued, the architects' draw
ings would be ready for con
tractor's bids by July 1 and
construction would begin in
early fall.
"Obviously there will be
thon from Crete, with frater
nity houses supplying the
runners.
The parade of chariots will
start at 3 p.m. at 15th and
Vine St., go north on 16th
St. to R St. west on R and
then north to the Stadium.
The Greek games will then
be held on the south piac
tice field. They include: Tug-of-war
and twelve-legged
race. 3:30; pyramid race,
4:15; obstacle race, 4:45;
chariot race, 5:30; and Volk's
tote, 5:45.
Friday's activities will be
disruptions to the existing fa
cilities as the building pro
gresses through the year," he
noted. "Although the disrup
tions will be quite painful,
they are quite essential."
He added that almost every
existing Union facility except
the games area would have
some work done during the
construction although the work
would be done at different
times.
He cited examples of the

'Supplemental

By Bruce Giles
Senior Staff Writer
WTiile not guaranteeing that
tuition will not be raised.
Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin
sity is "hoping that a supple
mental appropriation from
the 1967 Legislature will be
the solution," to budgeting
problems.
Hardin told the Daily Ne
braskan that the University
may have to resort to other
alternatives including a tui
tion increase, cutting back on
non-teaching functions or a
special session of the Legis
lature. Gov. Morrison said Wednes
day that expenditures exceed
ing the present appropriation
could best be handled by a
supplemental appropriation.
'Supplemental Spending'
Vice Chancellor Joseph So
shnik stressed the important
difference between a deficit
spending and supplemental
spending.
He said that in January,
when University officials
would go before the Legisla
ture, the University would not
have spent money that it did
not have, but would ask for
additional appropriations or it
would be forced into deficit

The last piece of privately owned property on campus
will be saved. Nebraska State Historical Society officials
have voted to accept the Constance C. Syford home, 700
N. 16 St.
Home, Terms Of Will
Accepted By Society
The Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Histor
ical Society has voted to accept the Constance M. Sy
ford home, plus the accompanying term? of the will.
The Syford home, located at 700 North 16th. was the
residence "of Constance Syford, a former University En
glish instructor.
Miss Syford died May 30. 1965, at New Haven, Conn.,
where she was engaged in literary research at Yale Uni
versity. Along with the home, the Historical Society receives
$15,000 for the upkeep of the home, and another $15,000
which is to used for restoration of the house.
Miss Svford's will covered 14 legal-sized pages and
contained certain stipulations for the University to fol
low. Tbe east half of Miss Syforfl's property is to be of
fered to the University with the intent ff becoming part
of the campus. The sale must be made for a price not
less than $50,000, and if made, would be subject to the
condition that the building would not be made a parking
lot. , .
The $50,000, if paid, would be returned to the Uni
versity for the building ol some type of student activ
ities building, providing the Board of Regents accepts
the condition within one year of the reading of the will.
According to Marvin Kivett, director of the Historical
Society, the exact age of the house has not been determ
ined. , ,
"Preliminary research suggests that the borne may
have been owned as early as 1885 by Rev. E. M. Lewis,
a Civil War veteran and a pioneer minister,"' he said.
"We will have to do more research before we can
determine how old the house is," Kivett added.
olve Problems
spending or one of the other
alternatives.
April 15 has been tentative
ly set as the date for a meet
ing between the Legislative
Budget Study Committee, Uni
versity administrative officia
and Board of Regents.
Due to an increased enroll
ment not provided for in the
original appropriation, the
University now faces a $500,
000 or more deficit.
Closed Meeting
Hardin also announced that
at a closed meeting with the
University registrar and deans
Thursday, the working enroll
fall was set at 17,200.
"I made it extra clear on
certain points with respect to
budgeting," Hardin said of the
meeting. "1 did assure them
that we would follow a gen
eral pattern for budgeting laid
down by the Legislature last
year."
"We are not considering
the curtailment of any phase
of any major project from
existing programs," he said.
He said that allocation
would be made in the line of
authorizing money for the
addition of faculty to the most
critical areas of need.
"I think we have allocated
sufficient money for teaching
Ul. , f- 1 ... - i'.-M- h ill

Funds'
positions to handle, if it should
materialize, an enrollment of
17,200," Hardin said.
'Working Figure'
Hardin stressed that, this
figure is not an enrollment
prediction but a "working fig
ure for budgeting purposes
only."
He said the 17.200 figure
would "undoubtedly be re
vised as we go along." but is
a reasonable place for plan
ning purposes.
When asked about enroll
ment possibilities reaching
18,000. he said, "This is a
possibility, but at this point I
don't believe the information
is solid enough that we want
to predict a number that
large."
Dean A. C. Breckenridge
said that once more Univer
sity applications are received,
the University will "know
more than it now knows."
Shoshnik noted that the
commitment of resources for
an enrollment of 18.000 "once
made, is irrevocable."
Resources Commitment
Soshnik said that if the en
rollment did not reach 18.000
and commitment of resources
was made of for 18.000. the
"institution would be charged
with irresponsibility in using
resources.''
Soshnik cited years when
legislators made statements
against what they termed
"obvious padding" by the Uni
versity after the estimates
made in previous years had
not been realized.
l! the enrollment did ex
ceed 17.200, Hardin said, "Ev
ery department has some peo
ple it can call on in an emer
gency situation."
' But we are not suggesting
that we won't have 18,000,"
Soshnik added.
Housing Problem
If enrollment does increase
beyond the 450 persons that
can be housed in the new
Marie Sandoz II a 1 1 to be
opened next fall, there will
be many others who will have
to find housing elsewhere,
Hardin said
Hardin denied reports that
the meeting also included dis
cussion on who should deter
mine sizes of class sec tions.
"Nol" Hardin said when
asked if this had been dis
cussed. "We are guessing an
average class size no greater
than this year."
"We expect the deans to
give recommendations but not
more so than in the past,"
Hardin said.
