After his discharge from the service, he attended the University of Southern Cali fornia. He was managing edi tor of the college humor mag azine, columnist for its paper and author of one of its va riety shows. Buchwald then went to Par- is as a student. Early in 1949 he took a trial column to the editorial offices of the Euro pean edition of the New York Herald Tribune.

"Our nation has few voices in government seeking an honest peace in Viet Nam. Nebraska has two senators both supporting the Johnson administration's Viet Nam policy. The citizens of Nebraska deserve the right to an alter native which presently they do not have," Rehorn said in a statement to the press. Rehorn has spoken through out the state on the Viet Nam issue and recently appeared in a television debate in which he stated that the U.S. posi tion in Viet Nam is "legally untenable, morally outrage days, Miss Bischoff ex plained.

In other statements Rehorn condemns the Viet Nam war for using government funds which could be going to "im portant social programs like the War on Poverty, medical care and urban redevelop ment." McSpadden, explained that the reason for Rehorn's can didacy for Senate is an effort to raise the issue of peace in Vietnam and to give the peo ple an opportunity to take a position. According to McSpadden, support for Rehorn has been building rapidly throughout the state since the announce ment Saturday. Nebraskans for Peace in Vietnam, a local community organization, is backing Rehorn's candidacy. McSpadden said he expects major support from the Uni versity students and faculty. Non - participating sorority houses, parental denials and a general lack of interest were reasons cited by Miss Bischoff for the small num ber of women who will have senior keys. Participating living units have elected key chairman who will be responsible for their individual living unit's key system. The key chair man will supervise the ad ministration and maintenance of the keys within their re spective living units, Miss Bischoff added.

A member of the Soviet Em bassy in Washington, D.C., is also being invited. "With the exception of Art Buchwald, other currently slated Talks and Topics speakers are not worth the mon ey," Grossman stated. He said that the scheduled speakers are good in their fields, but that people of more vital" experience would gen erate more interest in the student body. For this reason, Grossman has proposed the second list of speakers. William Buckley is a Republican from New York and one of the foremost conservatives in America, according to Grossman.

Larsen said that IFC has been investigating the sub rosa problem since second semester last year and that the report will reveal what they know is fact, as well as some of the possible rumors. He explained that the IFC executive board had con New Faculty Senate Members iscuss Eleven students were se lected last week by ASUN, to fill student vacancies on Fac ulty Senate committees. Tuesday afternoon, six of these individuals were con tacted by the Daily Nebras kan on what they viewed their role on the committees to be. The committee members were appointed by Terry Schaaf, president of, ASUN, and were approved by t h e Senate Executive Council. Schaaf stated that they were chosen on the basis of their applications. "Inter views were not held. I knew all of the students that ap plied but one, and I called this individual and talked with him." One appointee, Jim Schreck, was chosen to serve on the subcommittee on Stu dent Organizations. He stated that he is presently not in a "good position to answer" what his role would be. "I will have to talk to Ter ry Schaaf first. I am not well acquainted with the commit tee presently," Schreck ex plained. "However, I think the basis behind having students on these committees is to devel op a closer relationship be tween the faculty and the stu dents.

Report sidered waiting longer before giving this report, but now they feel as much as possible on the subrosas should be brought out in the open.

He said that it is possible that subrosas could once again be a problem on this campus and that all students need to understand the "sub versive nature" of these organizations. 19, 1966 Roles On Committees to work with them." "As to my individual com mittee, I do not know enough facts to say what my role will be," Schreck conlcuded. "I didn't know I was on it," was Dianne Loennig's answer to the question of what her job .on thOLaoprs Convoca tion committee might be. Dick Schulze was chosen to serve on the subcommittee on Student Social Affairs and Ac tivities. He stated that he didn't know much more about the committee, other than its title. "I don't know any more about it other than what is stated in the syllabus explain ing the Faculty Senate com mittees. As of yet, there have been no meetings." Schulze sees his most im portant job on the committee as that of being an improved committee member. He said that he understood, in the past, that the students who have served on the commit tees did not carry out their responsibilities and often did not attend the meetings. "I believe the student mem bers should actively partici pate in discussions within the committee," Schulze said. "I hope that this experience can enlighten me on how the stu dent can assume more re sponsibilities and how the Faculty Senate works."

Carl Oglesby is presently a student at Antioch College and is past national president of Students for a Demo cratic Society (SDS). To introduce novelty appeal, Grossman has also pro posed sponsoring Sybil Leech, an internationally-registered witch, who lectures on witchcraft and extra-sensory perception. The author of "Flying Saucers Serious Business," Major David Keho, will speak on the flying saucer situa tion, according to Grossman. Professor Staughton Lynd of Yale University history department is one of three men who participated last year in a personal peace mission to Hanoi. Grossman explained that the proposed list of speakers represents a variety of appeals to political, scholastic and social circles on campus. Nebraskan Subrosa's Status The last major move by IFC against any type of sub rosa problem was in 1961. At that time membership records and rituals were exposed and the organizations were be lieved to have been discon tinued on the Nebraska cam pus. Don Ferguson, who was IFC president in the early 1960's and editor of the Daily Nebraskan, s p c k e to IFC about the problem of subrosas last spring. He told IFC at that time that he did not know how Robin Stickney, chosen to serve on the Scholarship and Financial Aids committee, be lieves that the criteria for re ceiving scholarships should be reviewed and possible revi sions made. "I don't think that the Ad NU Student Under Drug Federal members of t h e Food and Drug Administra tion will arrive Wednesday from Kansas to investigate the Monday arrest of a Lin coln man and a University student in connection with drug usage. Lincoln Police arrived at the North 18th street resi dence at 8 p.m. after a call concerning sickness of a 20-year-old University youth, according to University Po lice Chief Eugene Masters. The youth was taken by ambulance to Lincoln Gener al Hospital, apparently suff ering from the affects of a drug possibly LSI).

Hospitalized Influence The youth's companion, a 20-year-old Lincoln man, was arrested in connection with dispensing drugs. The two men were alone when police officials arrived at the resi dence, according to Masters, who was called in on the case by the Lincoln Police Depart ment. Masters stated that this was the "first reported use of LSD on campus." Both men are being held concerning the violation of a federal law which limits the usage of LSD to laboratory experiments and psychologi cal therapy. An amendment to the 1965 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act makes it illegal to distribute any abusive drugs such as pep pills and sedatives. LSD was included in the list in May of 1966. Abel Hall 'Concern' Is Praised The Board of Regents Satur day released a statement commending Abel Hall resi dents for their "concern and actions" following the recent fire alarms at the dormitory. "The students themselves are providing leadership for programs which we feel strengthen the University ef forts in dealing with this type of problem," the Regents' statement read. "Furthermore, the Board of Regents feels the leadership is a reflection of a responsible student body," the statement concluded. Regents President Clarence Swanson stressed that t h t commendation came from tha Board, and was not meant to express the view of the administration.
