Vacation Dates Change Request
Prompted By Driving Conditions
Driving back to school on
New Year's Day was cited by
many professors as a major
reason for requesting the
dates of Christmas vacation
to be changed.
A random poll of 13 univer
sity professors was taken in
connection with the request
that the Student Senate has
made. Scheduling of the va
cation may come before Fac
ulty Senate for reconsidera
Senate May Review
Extension Proposal
A request that Christmas
vacation be extended one day
will be made before the Fac
ulty Senate meeting Tuesday
afternoon by James G. Por
ter, chairman of the calendar
committee.
Porter's recommend a
tion will ask that classes not
begin on Monday, Jan. 2, but
rather on Tuesday, Jan. 3. He
has stated earlier that he
would make the request be
cause he felt it was too much
of a risk to ask students to
travel on New Year's Day.
Porter said that he expects
a vote by the Faculty Senate
on the request on Tuesday,
but that he doesn't know what
the outcome will be. "Many
of the professors feel we al
ready have too few class-days
Opportunity Given To State
Views On Student Conduct
By Randy Irey
Senior Staff Writer
An open hearing to bring
out grievances of the students
in regard to student life will
be held next Sunday at 4 p.m.
The hearing will be held by
the ASUN Student Conduct
Committee. Dick S c h u 1 z e,
chairman of the committee,
stated Sunday that the com
mittee wants students to come
before them and verbally
state what has been discussed
about student rights and what
other ideas they might have.
"The committee wants to
become more knowledgable of
the student's concern in the
area of student rights" Sch
ulze explained. We must de
termine what the students
want the committee to do, be
fore we can begin any action.
The committee members will
therefore ask questions of Ue
students in order to clarify
Quiz Boivl . . .
Innocents Seek Revenge
Mortar Boards and Inno
cents will again match wits
to begin the fourth consecu
tive Universtiy Quiz Bowl
season on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m.
Having been defeated for
three consecutive years, the
Innocents will be seeking re
venge to atone for last year's
match when the Mortar
Boards were the victors by
a small margin, winning 95
90. A mandatory team cap
tain's meeting and orienta
tion will follow the match. A
representative from each
team must be present to qual
ify the team for participa
tion. Team competition will
begin on Nov. 3.
Team applications will be
sent to the president of each
living unit immediately, or
they may be obtained outside
Room 345 in the Nebraska
Union. These applications
with a $4.50 registration fee,
must be returned by Oct. 27,
or the team will not be eli
gible for competition.
Applications may be sent to
John Metzger, Quiz Bowl pres
ident, or Ann Van Steenberg,
or left at the Quiz Bowl mail
box in the Union. All checks
should be made payable to
ASUN.
A $50 scholarship will be
awarded to the outstanding
player of the season selected
by the Quiz Bowl Executive
Committee, according to
Metzger.
"The purpose of the scholar
tion at their meeting Tues
day. Donald Allison, associate
professor of Germanic lan
guages and literature, said
starting classes on Monday,
Jan. 2, is "certainly awkward
and should be reconsidered."
He noted, however, that if
the date of returning to school
was moved up, the date for
dismissal should be too.

before finals are scheduled to
begin and that this would only
add to the problem."
The possibility of a bowl
game will probably have little
effect on the outcome of the
Faculty Senate's decision,
Porter stated in an earlier in
terview. He bases this opinion
on the fact that many of the
Faculty Senate members feel
that bowl games are becom
ing an "annual affair."
Porter stated that he would
make the request on the part
of the students. "I believe that
the Student Senate made a
proposal that they go on rec
ord in support of having
classes start on Jan. 3. I will
probably read their proposal
in presenting my recommen
dation to the Faculty Senate."
the student's feelings."
At Sunday's committee
meeting, the members tried
to formulate some type of
plan for panel discussions and
symposiums. These would be
designed to inform the stu
dents of the various ideas and
opinions on student rights and
total education. The discus
sions would also serve a sec
ond purpose, according to
Schulze, that of stimulating
student interest in the areas
of student rights and educa
tion. Nothing definite was de
cided upon by the committee
concerning a timetable for
the discussions, for, as Sch
ulze explained, "we must first
break down the related prob
lems of student rights and to
tal education into something
concrete that the committee
can grasp."
"Therefore the panel dis-
ship is to promote an interest
in Quiz Bowl, and to aid a
student in furthering his ed
ucation," said Metzger.
An additional set of equip
ment will be used this year
so that two matches can be
run simultaneously. It will not
be necessary to limit the num
ber of teams that can enter.
Freshman teams Will also
have a separate competition.
Isolation procedures will be
strictly enforced, with a sep
arate room used to isolate
contestants. Any team mem
ber who is not in isolation at
the prescribed time will be
disqualified.
Six members of the Univer
sity faculty will moderate the
matches. These include Rich
ard Scott, Assistant to the
Dean of Student Affairs;
Miles Tommeraasen, Assis
tant Professor of Business;
Carl Nielson, Instructor in
Business; Charles Gruner, A3
istant Professor of Speech and
Drama; and E. S. Wallace
Director of the Bureau of
Business Research. The sixth ,
moderator has not been se
lected. Last year's winning team,
The Tweed Ring, will have
two members returning, while
all members of the runner
up team, The Blackshirts, will
again compete.
The final matches of the
season will be televised by
KUON-TV, as has been done
In previous years.
fessor of business education,
said "I have no negative re
action to a change if a change
is possible. I don't like to see
anybody traveling on New
Year's Day."
"I think it would be nice
if students didn't have to
come back on Jan. 1," stated
James Morrison, assistant
professor of journalism. "We
would all like to have any va
cation extended, and it is true
that coming home on N e w
Year's night would be espe
cially dangerous."
Assistant Professor of Zoo
logy John Brumbaugh said
that he tought there might be
less accidents if the vacation
were moved back.
Robert F. Guenter, assist
ant professor of architecture,
commented, "I suspect that
the idea of bringing students
in so close to New Year's is
a little strange. I would see
some advantage from a safe
ty standpoint in moving the
vacation back a few days."
Professor of Chemistry
Henry Baumgarten refused to
comment because he said he
is neutral on the subject. He
added that since he is teach
ing only graduate students it
really doesn't affect him.
A number of faculty mem
bers commented that they
could see both sides of the
question and they wished that
there was a good solution.
James Looker, professor of
chemistry said "I can see the
viewpoint of the students. But
cussions must be well-planned
in order that they might be
beneficial. I would like to see
each panel discussion have a
definite aspect of the problem
to deal with. In this manner,
we could eliminate a lot of
duplication and get more spe
cific ideas," Schulze said.
The committee also dis
cussed whether they should
concentrate first on the legal
aspects of student rights or
whether they should first work
toward a clarification of what
total education is.
Jerry Olson stated that the
committee should find out
first what areas to work in,
what is necessary for a total
education, and then find out
whether the rights within
these areas may be legally
held by the students.
Liz Aitken agreed with 01
sen and declared "that we
must know what we are fight
ing for, rather than what
we'll come up against in the
way of opposition."
In order to clarify the legal
aspects of what the commit
tee decides is necessary for a
total education, the commit
tee plans to call on various
lawyers for their opinion.
Bob Samuelson stated that
If lawyers were called upon
to give an opinion on the legal
aspects of total education
without knowing what the stu
dents basically want that all
they could do is "lay down a
broad generalization of where
we stand."
Susie Phelps then suggested
that a notebook of what the
committee finds on the sub
ject of total education should
be compiled and then pre
sented to the lawyers so that
they could have a definite
idea of what the students
mean by "total education."
A consensus of the commit
tee was then taken by Schulze
with the conclusion being that
"total education" should be
defined first, and then the le
gality of it should be deter
mined. AWS To Sponsor

"I've never seen a satisfac

Lloyd Jackson, professor of

favor of a change because of
heavy classes schedules on
Monday. Time is inadequate
for material covered anyway

the University makes final
preparations for Homecom

Complex Completion
Planned For Fall '67
Construction on small resi
dential units should begin in
late November of this year,
according to Russell Brown,
administrative assistant to
the Dean of student affairs.
The complex was originally
termed a fraternity complex,
but Brown said that it is prop
erly referred to as a group
of small residential units.
He said that any organized
group may apply for admis
sion to the units, but added
that so far only Greek or
ganizations have shown any
interest ' in the units.
Brown said that no definite
plans have been decided as
to what groups will occupy
the units.
It is hoped that the com
plex, which will be located
east of the new dorms of 17th
Street, will be completed by
the fall of 1967.
There will be four separate
buildings in the group, each
one duplicate of the others.
There will be slight changes
in such features as direction
facing, landscaping and de
cor which is hoped will give
each building distinguishing
characteristics.
Each structure will house
between GO and 70 residents
and will include dining rooms,
living rooms, kitchen facili
ties, a library, T.V. room,
recreational areas and laun
dry facilities.
Brown said that according
to plans, the buildings will be
three stories high.
Presently, it is planned to
have two fraternities and two
sororities in the complex, and
each will be on a lease ar
rangement. The buildings will
be financed through revenue
bonds which will be retired
through the rent paid by the
occupants.
Brown said that the units
are intended to help alleviate
some of the problems arising
from housing shortage on
campus.
He added that the Greek

Tickets for the informal

noted.

alums will see the Cornhus
kers pitted against the Kan

Homecoming court will be
presented during halftime fes
tivities. Other activities scheduled
for Saturday include a series
of coffee hours conducted by
various University colleges
and schools and a Homecom

sity News Service.
organizations were hardest
hit by the shortage.
He noted the following three
alternatives which could be
followed to try to remedy the
situation: constructing indi
vidual buildings by each
group; going together and
building a complex, or re
questing the University to
build small residential units.
The latter alternative was
decided upon because the
Greeks could not get togeth
er for a group complex nor
could they afford to build new
buildings by themselves.
Seven fraternities and three
sororities have expressed in
terest in the units.
The groups which will be
finally selected to occupy the
units will be decided by a
ranking system to determine
the group's need for housing.
