SLEEPING BAG SCRAMBLE
Faculty To Tell Legislators
Informally Of Budget Need
By means of informal con
tact and communication, the
faculty hopes to inform the
legislature of the necessity of
approving the proposed Uni
versity budget, according to
Dean Merk Hobson, who will
direct the faculty's actions.
Hobson stated that the Fac
ulty Club might possibly
bring legislators to the club.
"There would not be a for
mal program, but rather one
designed to give a chance to
both the faculty and the leg
islators to explain their ideas
and ask questions of one an
other," he explained.
Sorority Alumna Ignores
Clearing Of Key System
The thefts of sorority houses
at Iowa State University fol
lowing the installation of a
key system "had nothing to
do with the security system
as involved with senior keys,"
Associate Dean of Students at
Iowa State.
This statement followed a
declaration made by Mrs.
Jean Jackson, president of
Kappa Delta sorority's house
corporation, to the Daily Ne
braskan citing the. thefts at
Iowa State as one of the
alumnae's reasons for vetoing
the senior key system.

Voting Age
A proposal to give Nebras
kans aged 18 and over the
right to vote will be intro
duced to the next Legislature,
according to State Senator
Eugene Mahoney of Omaha.
Mahoney said the time has
come for Nebraska to once
again step out with a program
of general governmental re
form. If the Legislature would ap
prove the change in voting
age, Nebraska would join four
other states which now per
mit persons younger than 21
years of age to vote.
Both Georgia and Kentucky
allow 18-year-olds into the
polling booth. Alaska at state
hood opened the voting booths
to 19-year-olds and Hawaii
did the same in 1959 for 20-year-olds.
Five times in the past, the
Legislature has deliberated
on the issue and every time
the measure failed to receive
a majority.
If persons 18, 19 and 20
years old are permitted to
ballot, it could add 57,746 new
voters to registration lists, ac
cording to a projection from
the latest U.S. Census Bureau
figures.
coeds attempt
strip event.
The key role that the facul
ty can play, as Hobson sees
it, is to "promote the con
cepts behind the budget, rath
er than explaining the de
tailed figures."
"For instance, there are
certain standards for a class
room relationship that are
necessary for a sound educa
tion. This is something that
the faculty can explain well,
as opposed to the figures,"
Hobson stressed.
"The detailed dollars and
cents analysis must be done
by the administrators and
college deans when they ap-
sororities' losses of $2,000 in
cash and personal belongings
in a letter to Mrs. Jackson,
the Daily Nebraskan and
Dean Helen Snyder.
The $2,000 theft occurred
while members of the sorority
houses were eating dinner,
Robinson said.
"The girl who let the "so
called" salesman into their
house notified the Residence
Director that he wished to
see her and then the girl pro
ceeded down stairs to dinner,'
the letter stated.
Robinson also refuted the
statement made by Mrs. Jack
son that a complete key dup
licating machine was dis
covered by authorities fol
lowing the incorporation of
the key program.
The letter explained that
six students were found "who
had obtained and made dup
licate copies of regular keys
thai were master and sub
master keys for some of the
classroom buildings and room
in the men's residence hall."
No duplicating machine was
involved in the theft incident,
Robinson noted, and no losses
were reported due to the dup
lication of these master keys.
Mrs. Jackson said that Rob
inson's letter would have "no
effect on the alumnae group's
decision because other factors
were involved" in their veto.
Mrs. Jackson refused, how
ever, to cite the other factors
involved in the decision.

Chancellor Clifford Hardin
is scheduled to speak before
the next Faculty Senate meet
ing. At this time he will pre
sent an overview of the bud
get. Hobson believes this Is
necessary for the faculty to
be informed on t h e philoso
phy behind the budget.
One aspect that may limit
faculty action in promoting
the proposed budget, accord
ing to Hobson, is the fact that
they are open to accusations
of self interest when they
come out in favor of higher
salaries.
"The administration is
aware of the competitiveness
in obtaining high quality fac
ulty members, and therefore
asked an increase in salar
ies. It is important to per
suade the lay people of the
need for an improved salary
scale without giving the im
pression of self interest,"
Hobson said.
As far as a faculty cam
paign supporting the budget,
Hobson believes it should be
a program of "casual com
munication between the fac
ulty and the legislators on the
concepts of the budget."
"A few of the faculty, who
are well known, can make an
important contribution in sup
port of the budget by convey
ing the philosophy behind it
to the public," he continued.
"The University has t h e
responsibility to present to
the public a realistic picture
of the money it takes to main
tain the kind of University
one may be proud of," Hob
son declared.
"It is then up to the peo
ple, through their legislators,
to make a decision on the
kind of University they
want," he concluded.

Egg-spattered faces and freshly painted grabbles
marked the end of another hotly contested Sigma Chi
Derby Day Saturday.
One of the largest crowds in Derby Day history watched
the new pledge classes making their debut in such events
as the Zip Strip, Butterfingers and the Egg Drop.
Panhellenic Wrap, a mystery event receiving top re
views, tested the pledges' 'teepeeing' aptitudes as they
encased the Sigma Chi coaches in toilet paper. This event
replaced the "chicken chase," a game which Panhellenic
outlawed.
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority won the Derby Day trophy
for the second straight year by amassing a total of
24 points. Gamma Phi Beta sorority took second place
and Pi Beta Phi sorority was awarded third place.

Objective Of ASUN Committee
To Fix Rights, Responsibilities
By Randy Irey
Senior Staff Writer
The overall objective of the
ASUN Studenl Conduct Com
mittee is to determine those
rights, privileges, and respon
sibilities of students that are
necessary for total education.
This statement was decided
upon at the first meeting of
the committee, Sunday after
noon. In the aspect of rights, the
committee decided that stu
dent rights could be divided
into those that could be
termed legal and those that
are necessary for total edu
cation. Legal Rights
Legal rights, as explained
by committee chairman Dick
Schulze, are those "that are
ours and can be protected in
a court of law." The area of
legal rights, and what is in
cluded within them, will be
the first topic of considera
tion by the committee.
The committee also dis
cussed the premises or as
sumptions that they would act
under.
"I believe that it is not
our purpose to question the
constitutionality of f e d e r a 1
and state laws," Schulze ex
plained. "Not all the rights
we should have for a to
tal education are provided in
federal and state laws."
Constitutionality
Kris B i t n e r then asked
Schulze if "we are limiting
ourselves to asking for rights
or can we question the consti
tutionality of these laws?"
Schulze explained that if
the committee operated under
this premise, it would not be
ruling out the opportunity to
question the constitutionality
of state and federal laws.
"We should use the method
that is most expedient,"
Schulze declared.
Steve Abbott, a former
ASUN Senator, who attended
the meeting, stated that "it
is good to question the con
stitutionality of laws and it
is good to make judges and
legislators imnk about what
they are doing."
Education, Not Law
"I agree," Schulze stated,
"But I feel that our real con
cern is one of education, not
one of law."
"But isn't part of our ed
ucation determining what our
law is?" questioned Abbott.
"However, I do agree with
your emphasis on education."
"Perhaps then, it would be
better to say that at this
time we don't have the in
tention to question the state
The Daily
and federal laws," Schulze
stated.
"For instance the Board of
Regents is granted the pow
er of "in loco parentis" by
the state charter. We could
go to court if we thought it
was necessary and say that
this is unconstitutional, but
this is the long way around."
"It- would be better to ap
proach the Regents and re
quest that we be granted
rights which we feel we de
serve," Schulze continued.
Schulze stressed "If we act
under this premise, it does
not limit us from going to
court if we decide it to be
necessary."
Justifiable Rights
"The wording of any re
quest that we make is not
as important as the justifica
tion of the rights we request.
We must justify that the
rights are necessary," Schulze
concluded.
It was decided at the meet
AVF Poll To Determine
Fund-RaisingRecipient
A student poll will be taken
Monday and Tuesday to de
termine five charities which
will receive support from the
All University Fund (AUF)
drive.
The AUF board selected ten
charities from a list of 35
organizations which asked to
be considered for aid. These
ten charities will be presented
to all students to vote on and
five will be selected to re
ceive the AUF money.
Students will vote Monday
in their living units and in
dependent Lincoln students
may vote Monday and Tues
day in the Nebraska Union.
The ten charities include lo
cal, national and internation
al orgainizations.
Local and state charities on
the ballot are the University
Speech and Hearing Labora
tory and the Lancaster As
sociation for Retarded Chil
dren. Money given to the
American Cancer Society will
also stay in this area.
National charities to be con
sidered are the National Mul

The Miss Derby Day title was captured by Miss Lynda
Kain, Gamma Phi Beta. Terry Schmidt, Chi Omega, was
first runner-up and Theresa Luther, Pi Beta Phi, was
named second runner-up.
Judges awarded Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority the
Spirit Triphy for exhibiting the most enthusiasm during
the Derby Day games.
Steve Davis, Sigma Chi president, said approximately
900 people viewed the games and constituted the "most
enthusiastic group in many years."
The Spirit Trophy was the most difficult category to
judge, Davis said. The pledge classes not only displayed
vitality during the Derby Day games but they also showed
a tremendous amount of enthusiasm during the week pre
ceding Derby Day.

ing that agreement of five of
the eight committee members
would be necessary in order
for the committee to make
a decision.
Schulze stated that hearings
and forums concerning stu
dent conduct would be sched
uled within the next two to
three weeks.
"The forums would hope
fully be a constant means of
informing the students about
student rights," Schulze ex
plained. "They will be panel
discussions."
Specific Facts
"The central difference be
tween a forum and a com
mittee hearing, will be that
in a hearing, committee mem
bers will be looking for spe

to speak his mind on all as

J-School Interns

honey, Lincoln Journal-Star;
and Vicki Shurtf, Scotts'bluff

"The choice of interns for
this trip was a difficult one
for a good reason," said Prof.
R. Neale Copple, director of
the School. "We had so many
interns in Nebraska this sum
mer that we were unable to
take all of them to the meet
ing. So we had to exclude
most of those who worked on
newspapers in Omaha and
Lincoln."
Faculty members who at
tended were Professor C 0 p

be necessary."
The immediate work of the
committee should be, accord
ing to Schulze, to start read
ing, as individuals, in the
area of student conduct.
Schulze presented for tenta
tive assignments for invest
igation to each committee
member.
He asked that the members
prepare a brief on what they
read and present it to the
committee so that the com
mittee could therefore gain a
greater and more compre
hensive knowledge of the
problem.
