"For once, black people are
going to use the words they
want to use not just the
words whites want to hear,"
said Stokely Carmichael in
September.
Chairman of the Student
mittee (SNCC), Carmichael
made his statement to the
press to explain the concept
of Black Power in September
though he claimed that the
need for a new approach to
the civil rights movement has
been here for "too many
years."
This new approach, called
Black Power, has been the
official objective of SNCC
since Carmichael's election
to the position of chairman.
And it has been stated that
Carmichael is the only per
son who really knows what
Black Power is.
"It means the creation of
power-bases from which black
people can work to change
state-wide or nation-wide pat
terns of oppression through
pressure from strength," Car
michael explained.
SNCC has sought to address
itself to the two basic prob
1 is of Negroes, which, ac
cording to Carmichael are:
poverty and blackness.
"We had to begin with po
litics because Black Ameri
cans are a propertyless people
in a country where property
is valued above all. We had
to work for power because
this country does not function
by morality, love and non
violence, but by power," con
tinued Carmichael.

Dorm Complex
By Randy Irey
Senior Staff Writer
An explanation of provi
sions for Greek houses in the
new dormitory complex and
the University procedure for
approving housing were two
of the topics brought forth in
the second student-administrative
forum held Tuesday
afternoon.
Dean G. Robert Ross, dean
of student affairs, stated that
provisions for fraternities and
sororities to live in the new
complex, being built north of
the campus between 14th and
16th streets, came at the re
quest of alumni of certain
Greek houses.
"They felt that in order to
vitalize the Greek system on
this campus, it would be nec
essary for new houses to be
established," Ross said, "but

that would have economic ef
fects. This then, is Carmichael's
working definition of Black
Power. Put into practice,
Black Power has received
much criticism, both from
Negro and white sources cry
ing "black nationalism," and
racism in reverse."
Carmichael and SNCC's re
jection of the former principle
of nonviolence has led to
white fears of renewed out
bursts of racial riots such as
those which occurred in
Watts, Harlem and Omaha.
White supporters of SNCC,
especially the Northern sup
port groups Friends of SNCC,
have been alienated by Car
michael's seeming plea for
whites to get out of his Black
Power civil rights group.
"If SNCC wants whites to
pull out, why would a rep
resentative from SNCC speak
at the University Black Pow
er teach-in?" asked Al Spang
ler, president of Students for
a Democratic Society (SDS).
SDS is sponsoring a teach
in Sunday in the Nebraska
Union ballroom at 7 p.m. to
answer just such questions
as these.
A SNCC representative,
Charlie Cobb, will be on hand
to further explain his organi
zation's definition of Black
Power and to explain what
effect the concept is having in
the civil rights field.
Other civil rights groups
will send speakers to show
how their organizations dif
fer from SNCC and to make
specific criticism of the

"The University was asked
by these people for help by
' building units which could be
used by fraternities and sor
orities. The University
deemed this feasible and
came up with the plans now
being used," Ross continued.
Three Dormitories
The basic arrangement of
the new complex involves
three dormitories, each hous
ing 500 students, and sharing
a common building with a
snack bar, recreational facili
ties, and dining and kitchen
facilities. Fraternities and
sororities are provided for in
the complex and they would
use some of the central fa-
. cilities.
Ross said that originally it
had been hoped that six units
be built in this area, but the
University could build only 4,

Generates
By Lynn Ptacek
Junior Staff Writer
Many University of Nebraska fans re-:
turned from the Colorado game Sunday in
dignant with the behavior of the Colorado
students and spectators. ,
Incidents have been reported of friction!
between Nebraska and Colorado fans, as well
as examples of what one University-called
"poor sportsmanship on the part of CU stu
dents." One student said that an older man had
his Nebraska cowboy hat stolen by a Colorado
student. This man pursued the thief, tackling
him on the track around the field. The student
was apparently dazed, and lay face down on
the track for about ten minutes.
Two students dressed in suits reportedly
tussled in the cinders when each tried to re
move the other's hat.
A senior student said he saw a rather
husky Coloradan accompanied by a date,
try to steal the hat of an elderly Nebraska
fan.
"The girl," he said, "was embarrassed
by her date's behavior. She hit him over the
head with her purse, and walked off with an
indignant Are you coming? The boy returned
the hat, and meekly followed her."
One Nebraskan said he was pushed down
the stadium steps by a disappointed Colo
radan. "As I fell," he said, "I knocked over three
older women and one of them sprained her
ankle."
Nebraska fans also fought back.
One student said a male cheerleader from
Colorado and his date approached a Nebras
ka fan, telling him to get off the field. The
Nebraskan reportedly removed his coat and
took two swings at the cheerleader, the sec
ond being "quite effective."
Road Block
Nebraska students also told of having a
difficult time getting cars out of the stadium
parking lots. One student said a road block
had been set up "so that only Colorado people
could get their cars out of the lot."
"A husky Nebraska student received no
argument when he removed the road block in
front of a few smaller built CU students," she
added.
Nebraska band members were the vic
tims of much of CU's enthusiasm. One band
member said they were bombarded with
"chicken bones, ice cubes, and broken bottles
while waiting to march on to the field."
The University of Colorado band director
was embarrassed by this poor behavior and
said he would contact the Colorado Vice Chan
cellor of Student Affairs, about the incidents,
one Nebraska band member said.
No police officials were on the field fol
Provisions Come At Request Of
two fraternities and two sor
orities. The Greeks will lease the
houses and can furnish them
by themself, Ross explained.
"If they decide to move else
where, in the future, the units
would be incorporated into
University housing."
Experimental
"In a way this is experi
mental, we are testing to see
if this is economically feas
ible. If it is found to be a
good idea, the University
would consider building oth
ers in another location," Ross
declared.
Someone then asked what
"University approved hous
ing" means. Ross answered
that the University Health
1957, that standards for hous
ing be established. These
would apply to all students,
except those living in a fam
ily situation.
Committee May Reform AWS
AWS structure.
The Ad Hoc Committee has
stated its ideas for altering
the structure of AWS and sug
gestions for possible solutions
to the problems in a pamphlet
which was distributed to Uni
versity women in the dormi
tory complexes.
The paper states that t h e
present AWS Board is not
composed to give equal rep
resentation to University
women, and maintains that
freshmen women should be
represented on AWS Board.
The method of slating can
didates for AWS president
required on
University wom-
en running
'or AWS president.'
The proposal
reads that a
junior or
senior coca who sud-
mits a petition
with 25 signa-
tures of wi
the Univcrs
Dmcn enrolled in
ty to the AWS of-
fice, has a
8.0 grade average
Colorado Friction
Healed Excliange
"There has been some mod
ification, over the years, in
the standards. However, due
to the limited staff involved
in making off-campus approv
als, the standards have usu
ally been enforced mainly in
regard to housing for single,
undergraduate men, where
most of the demand for such
approval was.
No Inspection System
In answer to another ques
tion, Ross stated that there
is no system of inspection for
alcohol in any student's room,
on or off campus.
"The only exception would
be in the case of a well fore
warned inspection such as one
dealing" with health require
ments. The University is con
cerned with honoring the pri
vacy of the student. It would
not be- practical, nor our ob
jective to inspect rooms for
the purpose of finding alco
hoi."
and AWS Board is attacked in
the paper. "The new board
members represent the out
going board rather than the
women of the University,"
the pamphlet states.
The Ad Hoc Committee has
proposed an alteration in the
structure of AWS Board to
correspond with the struture
of the United States Con
gress. "Members would be chosen
on an apportioned basis of
closses, freshmen, sophomore,
juniors and seniors with a
president chosen from the re
maining membership of AWS,
The Daily Nebraskan
and has been a member of
AWS Board at one time dur
ing her college career may
run for president.
In the constitution
al c h a nge s proposed last
spring presidential candi
dates would be slated by the
lowing the game to break up the arguments
which arose between fans, a student said.
"Only members of the Midwest Protec
tion Agency and some high school ushers
were present," he continued, "and there were
a few Colorado policemen in the stands dur
ing the game who didn't seem upset over what
was happening."
Cut-Offs, Capes
The traditional exchange of the buffalo
head by the Nebraska Innocents and the Colo
rado Blue Key society proved to be a disap
pointment, according to Innocent Marv Almy.
The Innocents marched on to the field in
their robes before the game, and watched,
startled, as the Blue Key members ran madly
on to the field in CU sweatshirts, cut-offs, and
capes. The Blue Key members presented Ne
braska with a plastic buffalo head, and then
ran off the field.
Gary Larsen, president of the Innocents
Society, said that the game showed lack of
maturity on the part of the Colorado fans and
the Blue Key society members. The tradition
al buffalo head exchange will be discontinued
in the future.
The Innocents have sent a letter to the
Nebraska band congratulating them on their
fine behavior at the game.
Pat McGraw, news editor of the Daily
Coloradon, said that Colorado's basic prob
lem was that it was their Homecoming, and
they were "terribly disappointed by the loss."
McGraw said that the Daily Coloradon
had not had many complaints, so no editorial
stand had yet been taken. A letter had been
received on the behavior of the fans to the
Nebraska band, however.
One CU coed had three teeth knocked out
when she was hit by a bottle thrown by a
CU fan at the Nebraska crowd, McGraw said.
According to McGraw, there are only nine
members of the campus police force, and 14
members of the Boulder force. Special depu
ties hired for the game were too busy with
drunks in the crowd to watch what was going
on the field," he said.
'Ku KIux Klan'
The Blue Key's performance before the
game was meant as a joke and had no ma
licious intent, said McGraw. "We thought the
Innocents had on Klux Klan robes," he said.
McGraw also reported that a plane which
flew over Boulder dropping pamphlets before
the game was owned by a CU alumnus. The
pamphlets which contained a poem about how
Nebraska would win the game, were also
printed in Boulder.
The CU athletic department was aware of
this, and McGraw felt that it was possibly
instigated by them to "fire up" Colorado.
McGraw said he regretted the behavior
of the CU fans.
"As far as I know, there
are no restrictions on the use
of alcohol by any age Uni
versity student, as long as he
is not breaking a state law,"
Ross commented.
Susie Phelps asked wheth
er or not women over 21
could live off campus.
Other Reasons
Ross said that under cer
tain circumstances, single
women students may live off
the campus, but not f or t h e
mere fact that they want to,
rather there must be other
reasons involved.
"There is a Regent's rule
stating that all single, under
graduate women must live in
University housing," Ross ex
plained. "But recently the de
mand for such housing has ex
ceeded the supply and we
have usually exempted sen
ior women."
Ross answered that it was
who is not elected to the
board."
The committee also advo
cated the formation of a house
of AWS representatives com
posed of one woman from
each living unit, or each
house within a living unit as
in the high rise dormitories,
and a set number of Lincoln
coeds.
"Reapportionment of dele
gates will be decided every
two years by a special com
mittee" the pamphlet states.
The pamphlet also advo
cates the elimination of t h e
2.3 grade average required of
AWS board or by a petition
with the signatures of 3 per
cent of the women students.
A 2.3 grade average and
senior class standing are also
required in the present con
stitution. A proposal for changes in
the AWS Board elections sug
gests that a coed who sub
mits a petition with 25 signa
tures of women enrolled in
the University to the AWS of
fice and has a 2.0 grade av
erage may run for an AWS
Board position.
By present methods candi
dates are slated by the out
going AWS Board and then
presented to the University
women in a general election.
A 2.3 grade average is re
quired for candidates.

Hosts Professors
The Tolkien Society will
hold its first meeting of the
year at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in
the Union, according to Kel
ley Baker.
Three professors from the
English department and two
students will head a panel
discussion on J. R. R. Tolk
ien's works.
Drs. Frederick Link, Ross
Garner and Ned Hedges will
speak on different aspects of
"Lord of the Rings" and
"The Hobbitt" and will dis
cuss questions from the audi
ence. Peace Candidate
Speech Changed
The write-in peace candi
date for U.S. Senate, Rev.
Tom Rehorn, will address
a University audience
Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the
small auditorium of the
Nebraska Union.
He will speak on U.S. in
volvement in Viet Nam and
is sponsored by Students for
a Democratic Society.
His speech was previously
scheduled for 7 p.m.
the rule based on both the
general health of the academ
ic community and the educa
tional opportunities of the in
stitution. "Living in group surround
ings makes for a significant
kind of educational experi
ence. It provides an oppor
tunity to live with people
from different areas, of dif
ferent races, and of different
faiths."
Opportunity To Identify
"In addition, there is t h e
opportunity for identifying
with a group and the activi
ties provided by it. Both of
these are factors in an edu
cational experience," Ross
said.
"These experiences can oc
cur off-campus, but they
have more potential educa
tionally if they are planned
and staffed by the Univer
sity." Schulze then asked how.
all candidates for AWS Board
positions and "freedom from
the present system of the out
going Board which sets the
qualifications for the incom
ing Board members."
Miss Hicks stated that
more pamphlets may be
printed if questions are
raised from the University
women concerning the Ad
IIoc's first official statement.
The membership of the Ad
Hoc Committee fluctuates,
Miss Hicks said, but that at
one time about 47 women
were present at one of t h e
group's meetings.
Vol. 90, No. 25
Another proposal was made
by Miss May that a coed be
allowed to run for AWS Board
and AWS president simultan
eously. AWS Board members dis
cussed the possibilities of con
ducting primary elections for
AWS Board members to avoid
an unweildy ballot if the con
stitution is ratified to o p e n
AWS elections to more wom
en. Miss May stressed that
these proposals are still in
outline form and certain tech
nicalities must be adjusted
before they are put in amend
ment form to the University
women for a ratification vote.
Miss May added that AWS
cation election in January be
fore the election of new AWS
board members.
The play will also be pre
sented on alternate weeks
with "As You Like It" during
the repertory season. Other
dates for "Look Back In Ang
er" are Oct. 28-29, Nov. 11-12,
Dec. 2-3 and Jan. 6-7.
Dr. Joseph Baldwin, direc
tor, described the play as a
young man's protest against
a society which rejects him
despite his intelligence and
education.
The play's title stems from
the phrase "angry young
man" a quick description
of the discontented young
man.
"The play is in the tradi
tion of bitter comedy with its
particular emphasis on sat
ire," Baldwin said.
"Look Back In Anger" is
the story of Jimmy, an edu
cated young man trapped in
the routine of managing a
candy store and confined to
living in a dingy, one-room
flat.
Jimmy vents his wrath on
all those near him, tormenting
and abusing his wife, his
friend Helena and his father-in-law
Colonel Redfern, Bald
win said.
"Look Back In Anger" won
the New York Drama Critics
Circle Prize and was de
scribed by the New York
Times as "the most vivid
British play of the decade."
Jimmy is played by Dean
Tschetter, his wife Alison is
played by Phyllis Knipping,
Cliff is played by Ric Marsh,
Helena is played by Joey
Close, and Col. Redfern is
played by Steve Gaines.
Alumni
meaningful the educational
experience is if you are forced
to Jive in a unit where they
don't have all faiths, race,
etc.
"I guess I'm talking idealis
tically," Ross stated. "Y o u
can not only contrast a fra
ternity with Selleck, but also
areas within Selleck. If y o u
let the student choose who he
wants to live with and where,
your ideals-are breaking
down."
AWS Discussed
AWS was also discussed,
especially, its development
as a legislative body.
According to Russ Brown,
administrator to the dean of
student affairs, AWS was or
iginally an advisory body to
a previous Dean of Women at
the University. "It has grad
ually shifted from an advis
ory capacity to one being
more legislative and r0r
sentative in nature."
