Unanimous approval was
proposal yesterday by the
Faculty Senate Committee on
Student Affairs.
The approval came after
discussion of the key system
and a presentation by AWS
president Pam Hedgecock. A
faculty member, Dr. William
Pharis, moved that the sys
tem be approved.
"I see nothing here that
would drive a girl to degrada

Members of the committee

Student Court To Judge
Redistribution Petition
A petition filed in Student
Court Friday charges that the
recent redistribution of Sen
ate seats is "not in harmony
with the requirement of direct
ly proportional representation
and the reapportionment was
not carried out at the time
provided for such in the Con
stitution." David Senseney, a law stu
dent recently elected to Stu
dent Senate from Professional
College, filed a petition
against Bill Tooley, a phar
macy student who recently re
ceived a Senate seat from
Professional College under the
reapportionment.
The electoral commission
and the Senate decided at a
pre-election meeting that any
seats not filled in the April
27 election would be redistri
buted to other colleges. Ac
cording to this system, three
seats, formerly assigned to the
Graduate College were reas
signed to Professional, Teach
ers and Engineering respec
tively. Senseney told the Daily Ne
braskan that the electoral
commission might also be
named as co-defendants in the
suit that will be tried early
next fall.
He added that the main
purpose of his proposal was
"to stimulate the electoral
commission and the Senate to
set up a method to fill offic
es according to the constitu
tion." "The method they used
clearly violates the constitu
tion and could conceivably
lead to abuse," he added.
"The whole thing seemed to

To Head
IDCC
The president of Cather
Hall, Jim Ludwig, wai elected
chairman of the Interdorm
Coordinating Committee
(IDCC) Wednesday evening.
Ludwig replaces Marv Al
my, who resigned from the of
fice to become a student as
sistant in the dormitories next
year.
John Decker, IDCC social
chairman, proposed that the
dormitories sponsor a street
dance for independent dorm
students September 8 after
the Ag Barbecue picnic.
Since all the dormitory rep
resentatives seemed to favor
having the dance, Decker pro
ceeded to send contracts to
the individual dorms for ap
proval. Also at the meeting, the fi
nal three articles of an Inter
dorm Council constitution
were approved by the com
mittee. Article 6 states that advisers
will be chosen by the council
from full time faculty mem
bers. Residence hall directors
will be eligible to be advisers
to the interdorm council.
The budget will be approved
by the council in the spring
and the funds will come from
assessment of the dorms by
population. A penalty for not
paying its assessment will be
the suspension of a dorm'
voting rights.
Amendments to the consti
tution may be introduced by
voting members of the coun
cil or by an initiative peti
tion. They will be adopted by
a three-fourths vote of the
001
key system as outlined and
passed by the AWS Board.
One member asked if parents
were greatly concerned with
the extension of hours for
seniors.
Parents Agree
"AWS has found that par
ents in general go along with
the regulations AWS has de
termined," Miss Hedgecock
answered. She noted that each
girl must have parental per
mission to obtain use of the
key privilege.
. . Dean G. Robert Ross noted
me like sloppy government
and it u p s e t me first as a
student and then as a senat
or," he continued.
Senseney explained that he
had chosen Tooley as a de
fendant rather arbitrarily and
added that if his suit was suc
cessful he would expect John
Hall and Mike Jess (the oth
er two senators who received
their seats through the reap
portionment) "to step down."
He said that he would prob
ably act as his own attorney
Qualification Test
Set For Saturday
About 350 students will lake
the Selective Service Qualifi
cation Test at the University
Saturday, according to Henry
Cox, director of University
Examination Services.
The students will meet at a
central assembly point or in
structions and will then be di
rected to the examination
rooms from there.
Cox said the examinations
would be given in about 10
large lecture halls and that
there would be an "adequate"
number of proctors for the
tests.
Cox emphasized there would
be very strict regulations and
no one would be able to enter
the room except those taking
the examination.
About 300 students will take
the test at the University on
May 21 and an undetermined
number will take the test on
June 3, according to Cox.
Because the test was pub

Faculty Response Encourages
Evaluation Book's Publication
The F a c u 1 1 y-Evaluation
Book has had pretty good re
sponse from the faculty be
cause a great variety of sub
jects will be covered, but
many professors misunder
stand the intent of the evalu
ation, according to Ladd Lonn
quist, ASUN Faculty-Evaluation
Book chairman.
"The response has been
more than adequate to assure
the publication of the book,"
be explained, "and the vast
majority of tbe faculty wbo
did not respond seem to be
afraid to take the initiative.
Instead Uutf Uut their
that the responses he has had
from parents generally fit into
three categories: 1. the feel
ing that any liberalization
was unsafe; 2. the feeling that
confidence in their daughter
is established and that rules
will have little effect on her
conduct, and 3. the majority
feeling, In agreement with the
AWS proposal.
"Many parents respond with
what they feel is socially ac
ceptable," he added.
Cost Pro-rated

Bill Tooley commented,
"We plan to study the mat

decide the appropriate course
of action to take."

licized so greatly, a larger
number of people are taking
the test than he first expect
ed This is why many stu
dents will take it in Omaha,
according to Cox.
He talked to the Chicago
company administering the
test and told them he would
be able to take a larger num
ber of students at the Uni
versity. However, it was too
late since letters had already
been sent to students.
Summer Orientation
Is Planned For New
Freshmen and transfer stu
dents will catch their first
glimpse of the University this
summer during their two day
visit under the summer orien

Lonnquist spoke in refer

questing permission to pass
out the revised faculty-evaluation
questionnaire in class
rooms during Dead Week.
According to the new pro
cedure, questionnaires would
be made available to the in

and they would be able to dis
tribute them at their own dis
cretion. The ASUN representatives

could be pro-rated by the liv
ing units over a period of
years.
Allen Bennett asked if this
"is really really a forward
moving step . . .one that will
satisfy women students."
"In all honesty, I couldn't
say that we won't ask an ex
tension of the system next
year to all women21 or over,"
Miss Hedgecock replied, "be

AWS this was the system the
majority desired."

Miss Hedgecock said that
this could be done by notify

looks right through every situation.
A person who has worked closely wih Kroiik since his
freshman year recently stated. "Sometime.-, he seems dis

Session May Solve
Financial Problems
The financial problem of
the University may find a so
lution in the Nebraska Legis
lative Chamber this summer.
The possibility of a special
session has been discussed for
several weeks. University of
ficials hope that a special
budget can be adopted by the
Unicameral to allow the Uni
versity to avoid a financial
crisis next year.
According to the Nebraska
constitution, only the Gover
nor may call a special session
of the Legislature. He must
also specify what is to be dis
cussed at the session, and
Com Cobs
To Resume
Contest
The Homecoming Display
competition will be resumed
in the fall, according to Russ
Sindt. Corn Cobs Homecoming
Display chairman.
He added that the competi
tion will also be open to or
ganizations as well as living
units and that monetary lim
its have been placed on the
displays according to tbe size
of the living nnit or organi
zations. Last fall the tradition of
displays was temporarily dis
continued when the Innocents
Society withdrew support of
the contest.
Awards will be given in
each of four divisions. The di
visions will be formed accord
ing to the size of the group.
The size of divisions and
monetary limits are;
Division 160 members or
under, $100; Division II 60
120 members, $175; Division
111120-200 members. f25U;
Division IV more than 200

"A more well-defined set of
rules will be available next
fall." he said. "In the mean
time, interested living units
should set up committees to
begin working over the sum
mer. If two groups wish to
pair off, they will be placed
in the division signifying their
total number of member."
Another query of the com
mittee concerned the mini
mum age of seniors; that is,
if it would be possible for a
girl 18 years old to have a
key.
Dean of Women Helen Syn
der answered that most sen
ior women are 20 years old
as they start their senior
year, and turn 21 during the
year.
"I don't know of any 18-year-old
seniors," she said.
Dean Snyder also remarked
that there will be little prob
lem in implementing the sys
tem in the dormitories.

The Board of Regents will

to consider the question.
