AMI-DRAFT TESTS . . . were distributed from this
booth in the Union as a part of the national SDS policy
to boycott the May 14 draft deferment tests.
Anti-Draft Tests
Issued By SDS
The University students for
a Democratic Society (SDS)
chapter is joining the nation
al organization in a protest
move against the selective
service draft tests with a
counter-test and anti-draft
test information.
The University group will
distribute some 8,000 copies
of the counter selective ser
vice exams and information
against the test at six differ
ent examination centers ou
May 14, 21 and June 3.
Carl Davidson, secretary
treasurer of SDS here, said
that they will distribute the
counter-tests at the Univer
sity, Creighton, Omaha Uni
versity, Concordia, Hastings
and perhaps Kearney.
He said that SDS is against
the draft tests because they
are discriminatory to the
poor and the Negroes.
"The tests are contrary to
our democratic values," he
explained," because they are
only useful in giving the IIS
deferment to college and fu
ture college students."

ter." Last year, the letter ex
plains, as chairman of t h e
public issues committee in
Student Council, he conducted
an investigation on discrim
ination. "This in-depth study was
the model for ASUN reports
this year dealing with prob
lems of the University such
as recreation, faculty-student
relationships and others," the
letter said.
Helped Senate Grow
The letter noted that as vice
president of ASUN, "Larry
helped a young Student Sen
ate grow into maturity by con
tinually defining the issues
and alternatives facing stu
dent government."
"W hen analyzing student
rights, student involvement in
curriculum, or the opportun
ity for students to help design
their own education, he was .
always accurate and persua
sive. In this sense, he helped
to destroy the previous stigma
of Student Council as being a
'do-nothing' group or a 'rub
ber - stamp - for Administra
tion," the letter stressed.
The letter also said that
Frolik helped to make the
use of intelligence more re
spectable in student govern
ment. "The quality of debate in
the recent ASUN campaign,"
the letter said, "is proof that
more of the intellectuals want
to participate in student gov
ernment now that Larry has
helped to remove "the display-case
mentality' that
plagues other organizations."

SDS will pass out will be one
which will test people's know
ledge on the facts and situa
tion in Viet Nam, Davidson
said.
The SDS test "will ask you
questions about the war
fair and objective questions
and about how you see your
relation to it. and what kind
of government ours has be
come. And you will have to
'grade' our test yourself
and decide whether you know
enough about the Vietnamese
to take some day the person
al responsibility for their
death," the anti-draft test in
formation says.
The anti-draft test informa
tion SDS has to distribute is
named "Call for an Eamin
ation of Conscience" and was
published by the national
SDS headquarters in Chicago,

It includes statements such
as, "But business and the
military have decided to be

"imagination, critical intel

keen sense of humor" were
also cited in the letter.
Frolik is also the past pres
ident of Beta Theta Pi frater
nity and was sergeant at arms

'Enviable Record'
Gottschalk's letter of nom
ination stated tli at he had
"compiled an enviable record
in campus activities."
-"As president of his frater
nity," the letter noted, "Mike
labored long and hard to pro
duce a better chapter of Phi
Gamma Delta. It is a credit
to his diligence that he is rec
ognized by the general frater
nity as one of the outstanding
chapter presidents in Phi
Gamma Delta."
The letter continued that
"largely through his efforts

a positive stand was taken on
University-b u i 1 1 fraternity
complexes" which "to a great
extent attracted the first col
onies to the Universities in
many years."
Gottschalk has also worked
in student government, the let
ter said. "The students here
will for. many years be in
debted to him for being the
driving force behind the for
mation of Vox Populi, the Uni

followed by the a" -tion of
new regulations ft women

semester basis. The semester
basis has been substituted for
the yearly basis which is now
in effect.
Barb Beckmann, chairman
of the judicial committee,
stated, "we are trying to get
away from the demerit sys
tem and into a more flexible
system."
'Beyond Control'
To this end, the new rules
say, "Occasionally circum
stances beyond a rl's con
trol cause her to L ite. For
this reason a girl u allowed
either three latenesses or 20
late minutes per semester,
whichever is accumulated
first."
According to the new rules,
after a girl has acquired ei
ther the three latenesses or
20 late minutes, the next in
fraction will warrant a court
notice. Additional infractions
will also warrant a court no
tice. A call to court will also be
given for violation of three of
the following offenses: failure
to sign in or out, violation of
visiting hours, infractions on
the part of a guest, and fail
ing to sign In at a sorority
house if staying overnight
there.

posed senior key policy has
been discussed at length dur

These reasons are:
"There have no rational
reasons advanced in support
of the proposed change. The
recent liberalization of hours
has proved to be more than
adequate in meeting any so
cial or other obligatoins the
coeds might have."
Disapproval Voiced
"Parents contacted have
overwhelmingly voiced disap
proval of this permissive pol
icy. An important part of ma
turing is the willingness to ac
cept discipline and rules made
for the benefit of the majority
and not the whims of a few."

"The apparent Impossibil
ity of properly policing the un
authorized duplication of keys,
if this form of lock is used.
Under such a policy the in
herent security of lock and
key would be greatly impared.
"National Panhellenic and
many national sororities have
voiced their opposition to this
type of policy as being detri
mental to high standards of
morality and scholarship
which these groups have al

Students' Attempt
"It appears basically that
this is an attempt by some
students to see how far they
can get with their demands to
determine their own rules of
conduct. If they can succeed
in changing this rule by their
own protests, many other Uni
versity Administrative rules
can be equally challenged and
rewritten to suit the activist
minority of students."

reasons and will not "hastily
accept a policy that could vi
tally harm the security that
now exists, the discriminating
social judgments that we en

that parents and the public

The AWS presentation will
note that the Senior Key pro
posal is based upon the desire

The AWS philosophy also
points out the maturity of a
senior woman and the fact
that almost all of them are

The presentation will also
include a summary of surveys

a similar system. The surveys
also point out that there is a
tendency on the part of par

agree with the system.
Miss Hedgecock will explain
all the procedures for the sen

of these have already been ap

This explanation will also in

on the security of the lock and
