OSU Group To Protest Hiring Hall The Free Student Federation (FSF) at Ohio State Univer sity planned a picket for Fri day to protest the hiring of Dr. William Hall as director of the School of Journalism. Hall, who is presently di rector of journalism at the University, was hired last week to take the Ohio post as of July 1. Robert Queisser, chairman of the group's coordinating committee, said the OSU ad ministration building will be picketed by the group Friday and a rally will be held on the campus oval that afternoon. The FSF decision followed a discussion of the issue before more than 500 students Wednesday afternoon at a for um on the oval. The Federation called Hall's appointment "an administra tion violation of academic freedom, faculty autonomy and student rights." Ira B. Harkey Jr., an OSU journalism instructor and Pulitzer Prize winner, said at the forum the new director will turn the campus daily newspaper, the Ohio State Lantern, into a "house organ for the administration." "The Lantern is the issue" and the issue is "symbolized and personalized in Paul Bar ton," he said Barton has been acting director of the school since the death last year of George Kienzle. ARCHIVES mm ; 14 Holland Nine By Bruce Giles Senior Staff Writer Nine distinguished aumni of the University will return to the campus for the fourth Masters Program Monday. The Masters are John H. Becker, Forrest E. Behm, Eu gene Holland, Sen. Calista Cooper Hughes. Walter M. Judd, J. Martin Klotsche, Mil ton E. Mohr, Albert II. Mose man and Allen J .Sutherland.

Hall: Misinterpreted? The managing editor of the Ohio State Lantern "is not here to di? up dirt about Dr. (William E.) Hall." resigning director of the University's School of Journalism. "I am here in Lincoln strict ly for a story; I've been taught to go to the source of my story, and here I am," em phasized Dave Hopcraft. Hopcraft, a 22-year-old sen ior in journalism at Ohio State University, has spent the last two days interviewing Admin istration officials, students, and faculty members of t h e School of Journalism. During a news conference held in the Nebraska Union Thursday, the collegian said that although he hadn't had adequate time to confer with Hall, the conflict between Hall and OSU journalism faculty members may have originat ed from a "failure of com munications." "At this point I would say that Hall may have been mis interpreted or misquoted in the Ohio press," stated Hop craft. "From what I've seen and heard in Lincoln so far, I would say that Hall does not intend to turn the Lantern into an Administration house or gan, nor become an Adminis tration 'yes-man'," he said. To Hopcraft, the difficulty at Ohio State arose from the manner in which Hall was picked to head the OSU School. Chemistry Expert Speaks At A nationally known chem ist, Dr. Charles H. DePuy of the University of Colorado, spoke at the 355th meeting of the Nebraska Section of the American Chemical Society ' at the University April 14.

The Masters will offer their experiences, not as formulas for success, but as guidelines for meeting the challenges which the future holds," commented DeMars. The Masters will arrive in Lincoln Sunday and will be gin a round of informal ap pearances at student living units and various student programs, including the Hon ors Convocation Tuesday morning. Becker is the partner-in- managing editor of the Ohio controversy about Dr. Hall of Journalism. "The question isn't Hall; it's the way he was chosen, said Hopcraft. "Hall was picked by the Board of Trustees over the vote of nine out of 15 faculty members." Last week the OSU Student Senate voted to oppose Hall's appointment to the School. Four days later they reversed their decision. Hopcraft said he did not know the reason for the reversal. "I'll be better able to eval uate Hall and his previous statements to the press after I've had another chance to talk with him," Hopcraft said. V i Graduate Enrollment To Double Graduate school enrollment at the University has in creased from 1,305 in 1960 to 2.334 in 1965. Furthermore, said Grad uate Dean Mark Hobson, the enrollment is expected to reach 4,623 by 1970. Hobson said these figures represent enrollment in grad uate work including the ad vanced professional program in Teachers College, but does not include that part known as graduate education in the areas of medicine, law, phar macy and dentistry. Nationally, according to an article by Time magazine, the graduate student enroll ment has increased from 314, 000 in 1960 to 510,000 in 1965 It was also estimated that by 1970, there would be 800,000 graduate students in the na tion. 'Selective' Hobson said the University last year received about 9,000 requests for information about graduate work. He said there were over 3.000 persons who actually applied and that there were about 750 who were ulti mately accepted. Hobson noted that the grad The Daily Nebraskan Judd W charge of the Omaha office end supervising partner of the Lincoln office of Peat, Marwick, Mirchell and Co.

Sen. Hughes, the only wom an in the Masters Program, was elected to the Legislature Executive In Heated ByJulieMorris Senior Staff Writer The three ASUN presiden tial candidates took potshots at parties, platforms and personalities in a debate Thursday afternoon. Approximately 150 students crowded into the Nebraska Union main lounge to hear the candidates, Dave Snyd er, Terry Schaaf and Steve Abbott. Discussion of a student bill of rights dominated the de bate. All three candidates in dicated they favored a bill of rights. Snyder declared he is "not in favor of forcing through" a bill of rights "written by uate program is not "wide open," and that it is quite selective in its admissions program. The dean said graduate stu dent enrollment "more than keeps up with the undergrad uate enrollment" and that there is a "direct relation ship between the two. We would expect the graduate school enrollment to go up because of the greater num ber of undergraduates." He said the opportunities for graduate study are even greater now than in the past due to an increased amount of fellowships that are avail able. "A big factor is federal in volvement in providing mon ey for fellowships," Hobson said. Noting that the increased number of financial grants in the science area has been criticized in some circles, he said the distribution of grad uate students in the science area has remained about the same 55 per cent. Draft, GI Bill Hobson said it is hard to tell the effect of the draft and GI Bill on the number of grad uate students. Mrs. Hughes Participate ee& Jrrogra in 1964.

Candidates Meet Debate Thursday a small committee." Schaaf stated he is for a bill of rights only as a spe cific proposal. He urged that rules and regulations be studied to see what the rules are before a bill of rights is formulated. "I think it's going to be easier to get the Board of Regents to agree with us if we enumerate the rules we object to," Schaaf said. Abbott is running on the Campus Freedom Democrat ic Party ticket, which is us ing a prepared bill of rights as the party's platform. Schaaf insisted that a bill of rights, if formulated, must be "third" in the order of About two-thirds of the graduate students at the Uni versity come from schools outside the University, ac cording to Hobson. He said about 20 per cent of all stu dents getting their baccalau reate degrees go on to get their masters degrees and about 2.5 per cent get their doctors degrees. He said some areas of grad uate study have about their maximum capacity right now, but noted t;-,r.t the determina tion of the number of grad uate students is decided pri marily by the departments. Hobson said the graduate work is designed for the stu dent with a B average or bet ter. He said in about two thirds of the cases, the appli cants are referred to the de partment, and the graduate committee makes a recom mendation whether to accept the student. He said that in most cases, the graduate committee's recommendations are fol lowed, but that the graduate dean's office can go back and discuss any person in question.

"First things first." Abbott retorted, "you have to start with a firm clarification nf what student rights and priv ileges are." A bill of rights, he maintained is designed to set forth "general principles of government." "Simply saying you have these privileges is not going to get them for you." Schaaf said.
