vice president Roger Doerr.
"The applicants for the vac

' elections for the graduate
school and Arts and Sciences
candidates."
In other new business, the

commission.
The Senate Committees and

tive committee. Senate ap
proval will be asked for the
proposed chairmen of the Ex
ecutive and Coordinating
committees.
A new member of the ex

Bromm, Schulze Give Plans
For Legislative, Conduct Work
Student conduct and legis
lative liason are two areas
which have been the subject
of much discussion already
this year.
ASUN has included, in their
committee structure, two
committees to deal specifical
ly with these topics. On Sat
urday and Sunday, interviews
were held for the chairman
ships of the Student Conduct
and Legislative Liason and
Research Committees.
Curt Bromm was chosen
chairman of the Legislative
Liason and Research Commit
tee. His appointment must,
however, be approved by the
Senate at their meeting on
Wednesday. Chosen chairman
of the Student Conduct Com
mittee was Dick Schulze.
"The primary purpose of
the Legislative Liason Com
mittee, as I see it at the mo
ment, is to convey the needs
and desires of the students
and faculty to the legisla
ture," Bromm explained.
"This would be done in hopes
that we could help them ar
rive at a sound and fair bud

Bromm. "We could show

The immediate goals of the

are, according to Schulze, to
"establish, if we can, where
we stand legally as students."
"It would be foolish to talk
of rights and privileges if we
don't have them in a court of

full extent of our rights,"

Concerning his committee's
role, Schulze termed it a
"fact-finding committee.

"I hope that we can have

As to his personal stand on
the student conduct question
and a Bill of Rights, Schulze
declared himself neutral.
"I don't, as yet, know
enough about where we

described as one of limited

"The big band era was not
pure jazz, but it did contain

Prof. Beadell.

'Dog Dead'
Following the Sept. 6 assas
sination of South African
Prime Minister Hendrik Ver
woerd, Wandera hung a sign
reading, "Dog Dead, South
Africa" from the window of
his apartment on 25th and
Iloldrege Streets.
Verwoerd, Prime Minister
since 1958, was regarded as
the architect of South Africa's
policy of apartheid-racial sep
aration. He was. stabbed to
death as he sat on the mini
sterial bench in the Parlia
mentarian chambers in Cape
Town.
The assassin was a white
man, Dimitrio Tsafendas, who
had been employed about a
month earlier as a messeng
er in the chambers. Tsafen
das apparently took Verwoerd
completely by surprise as he
plunged a knife into the
prime minister's chest and
throat. Tsafendas was imme
diately seized by other mem
bers of Parliament as Ver
woerd slumped over dead.
Verwoerd's successor, Bal
thazar John Vorster, was un
animously named the new
Prime Minister last week by
the ruling Nationalist Party
caucus, which consists of 126
MP's and 41 senators. Vorst
er is known as a militant sup
porter of the apartheid poli
cies. 'Inhuman'
Discussing his feel
ings about the assassination
and the accession of Vorster,
Wandera said, "I think Ver
woerd was inhuman." The as
sassinated prime minister,
Wandera said, "didn't have
any respect for human be
ings." Stressing that his comments
were "just my feelings, not
facts," Wandera said that the
only thing Verwoerd did for
South Africa was "to put
people on trains and ship
them off to the mines and to
build beautiful buildings, but
only for the use of a small
minority."
Feeling against the white
government of South Africa
runs strong throughout Ugan
da, Wandera said.
"We (Ugandans) don't want
to have any dealings, econom
ic or otherwise with South
Africa, because we feel it
would be blood money," he
said.
Wandera contrasted this at
titude with the case of west
ern nations, including the
To Swing Era
bass and guitar. Arrange
ments were standardized,
though an improvisational so
lo was usually featured.
Be-bop marked the transi
tion into contemporary jazz in
the late 1940's and early
1950's. Charlie Parker and
Dizzie Gillespie are two
names that stand out from
this period.
A re-emergence of the small

style of jazz after be-bop

wholly replaced by the saxo

bass, drums and trumpet re
main "the stand-bys of jazz
bands today.
The style too, has changed.
Jazz has gone abstract, into
what Beadell termed "3rd
Stream". Former styles have
been left behind and jazz is
now approaching contempor
ary compositional techniques.

and have substantial econom
ic interest in the country, both '

"There is something so fun
damentally and deeply
wrong" with the entire con
duct of lire in South Africa,"
Wandera said, "that we are
surprised when we see gold
coining Into America from
South Africa."
"Our people would rather
die than have anything to do
with South Africa, I would
rather import a product from
Japan at any price than im
port it from South Africa,"
Wandera said.
The political reality of a
black South African is actu
ally nonexistent. The blacks,
while they far outnumber the
white Afrikaaners and other
English-speaking people of the
country, are regulated in
nearly every step of their
lives. Black South Africans
must carry identification
cards with them at all times
and are subject to a host of
restrictive policies and laws.
"In South Africa," Wandera
said, "if a white person wants
anything, the black man must
give."
He contrasted this situation
yuth the normal way of life
in which an individual would
sacrifice for the good of so
ciety. In South Africa, how
ever, Wandera said, the black
must sacrifice for the good of
the white.
"As far as democracy goes,
it is only for the whites," he
said.
Wandera said he expects no
change in the basic policies
of the white government un
der the new Prime Minister.
"If anything, a change
would be tightening up the old
policies," he said.
AWS To Present
Lincoln Seminar
Orientations, designed to
familiarize Lincoln students
with the operations of the
University, will be held
Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the
Nebraska Union Pan-American
room, according to Susie
Sitorius, AWS workers chair
man. The Lincoln Seminar will
be presented by AWS mem
bers, who will explain the
program area of AWS and
the activities of the Univer
sity living units.
Representatives from the
Mortar Board society will
conduct a panel on the func
tions of campus organiza
tions. It has become a sound that is,
in BeadellJs opinion, "almost
unconsumable by the average
listener."
A fundamental conflict has
always been evident in jazz,
as in other art forms, but is
perhaps more pronounced to
day. The conflict arises be
tween commercialization of
the sound and technical ac
curacy. Jazz buffs look down at
those musicians who compose
and arrange with intent to
make a profit on the hit pa
rade, while sacrificing tech
nique. Beadell described Dave
Brubeck as "slightly commer
cialized," while Thelonius
Monk and Wardell Gray
achieve a triumph of jazz
technique.
The one group today, ac
cording to Beadell, that has
been able to combine and bal
ance commerciality with skill
is the Tijuana Brass, whose
sound harkens back to the big
band era of jazz.

Cobs Homecoming chairman.
Tassels and Corn Cobs are
jointly supervising the events,
which include three - dimen
sional displays and the Home
coming dance. Donni McClay
is the Tassel Homecoming
chairman.
ASUN will direct the Home
coming queen elections and
decide the method for select

A bonfire, initiating t h e
week-end festivities, will be
held Oct. 13. Homecoming
queen finalists will be intro
duced during the rally, stated
Olson.
Scheduled events for Oct. 14
include the judging of the dis
plays and the traditional
Homecoming dance.
Living units' displays must
be operational by 5 p.m.
Oct. 14 and will be judged
that evening.
The Homecoming dance
will be held in the University
Coliseum from 9 p.m. to mid
night. "In previous years the
dance has been held in Persh
ing Auditorium," Olson said,
"but the Homecoming com
mittees felt the dance would
be more successful if it were
located on the campus in the
center of the other activities."

According to Carl A. Donaldson, University business

but due to some delivery delays, it is hoped that the work
will be finished in a few weeks.
Donaldson said that the ventilating duct work which is
presently cluttering the lawn outside the building will re
place the old radiators which have been in the building al
most since the time it was built.
Donaldson said that they have been able to "work
around" only with the cooperation of the staff. He said

are looking forward to the improvement.
