Anger Cause

President Lvndon Johnson
has been heckled, villified
and even splattered with
paint on his trip to Southeast
Asia. Usually students were
responsible.
Would the reaction of Uni
versity students to a visit of
a Communist Chinese lead
er be the same?
"That's an interesting
question," responded Dr.
Marvin J. Brodsky of the
University psychology de
partment. "Remember last
week at the Colorado game
when many University stu
dents were attacked? It's the
same thing with riots."
"The basic cause is anger.
People are mad. People in
Colorado were mad that
Nebraska won, and people in
Asia were mad about the
war in Viet Nam."
"There are other factors,"

Evaluation
Book To Be
Out Nov. 7
A tentative date of Nov. 7
has been set for the publica
tion of the Faculty Evaluation
Booklet according to L a d d
Lonnquist, chairman of t h e
ASUN committee created to
compose such a booklet.
He said that unless some
thing unforeseen comes up,
distribution will begin on that
date. He added that the book
let is in the process of being
reviewed by several lawyers
for libelous statements and
that they should be completed
with their job Thursday af
ternoon. Lonnquist said that the
booklets will be available in
the Union for sure, and most
likely can be obtained in the
bookstores. The price for the
booklet will be 25 cents.
The booklet will be similar
to "Scrip" magazine in its
type of print and size of pa
per. The booklet will contain the
evaluation of 118 Instructors.
The evaluation was carried
out last spring. All the stu
dents in each of the evaluated
teacher's classes turned in an
evaluation of the teacher.
Included in the evaluation
were questions asking what
the teacher's tests were like,
how his lectures were, and
other questions designed to
get a well rounded evaluation
of the professor.
Lonnquist has stated that
the booklet's success now de
pends on how it is received
by the students. He feels that
it should definitely be con
tinued in the future.
. The booklet was scheduled
originally to come out last
semester, but ran into diffi
culties. There was a question
raised of the possibility of li
bel suits resulting from the
booklet. It also met a lack
of student interest, but a
modification in the evaluation
procedure and the questions
eliminated this problem;.
. . University students do have
raging moo under certain circumstances.
he added. "Education is
sometimes one. By and
large, the more education a
person has the less violent
his reaction."
"Another consideration is
economics. There's an inter
esting study which shows a
correlation of, lynchings in
the Old South with the price
of cotton," Brodsky reflect
ed. As the price of cotton
dropped, the number of
lynchings increased, and
vice versa, he said.
"It's not always a matter
of not having a full stomach,
either. The United States is
an upward-motivated socie
ty. Even though a person
may have a steady job he
might still be unhappy be
cause he isn't a boss."

Rehorn, speaking in the Un
ion Wednesday night said that
in the modern United States,
"evil is good and good is
evil.".
"We have become the evil
ones as we napalm babies,
mothers and whole villages.
I can not see any difference
in what Mussolini did in Ethi
opa and what Hitler and Mus
solini did in Spain," Rehorn
said of U.S. Viet Nam policy.
Rehorn stressed time and
again his view that the Viet
nam w a r is "neo-colonial"
and a violation of Christian
beliefs.
A Methodist minister from
Fullerton, Rehorn said, "I
love the Church but I know
itl phonies. If the Church
rides along with what we're
doing in Vietnam now, I
don't blame intellectuals for
leaving the Church."
The war in Viet Nam is a
civil war, Rehorn stressed.

Curtis has served in the

Nov. 3, and will originate at
the Nebraska Union.
A trophy will be presented
to the living unit which shows

vice president, said that final
arrangements for the Denney
campaign will be made at the
meeting. "Campaigning is the

authority.
"You never find violent
demonstrations when police
authority or protection is
adequate," Brodsky ex
palined. There are regional differ
ences as well. "I think we
would be more liable to see
violence in Chicago or New
York, say, than in Lincoln."
With fewer people and per
haps a better social-economic
background, the chances
of a less violent reaction
would be more likely in Lin

There is also the question
of agitation and how well

people. Eighty per cent of the
enemy are from South Vict

On the other hand, Rehorn
said he thinks it's a "fallacy"
to single out President John
son and say he's "a big bad
wolf. He's doing just what the
Establishment wanted."
Concerning the Senatorial
campaign, Rehorn said he
"would consider it a privilege
to talk to Gov. Morrison in
public."
When asked why he hasn't
discussed domestic policy Re
horn replied "We're not
spreading out to cover all the
issues because we don't have
the money or time in a two

Senate Adopts Advisory
Okays
By Randy Irey
Senior Staff Writer
The Student Senate
Wednesday afternoon adopt
ed a bill defining the position
and purposes of the student
advisory boards.
The bill was drawn up by
Mel Schlacter, chairman of
the Advisory Boards Liaison
committee. In explaining the
bill, Schlacter said that there
is a lack of direction and
prestige on the present ad
visory boards, a lack of any
organized approach in their
actions.
"The students are not in
volved in helping to set up
p o 1 i c i e s," Schlacter de
clared. "This bill will pro
mote student involvement
and provide a clear channel
for action from the stu
dents." The bill, as seen by Schlac
ter, would provide a clear
cut format for the advisory
boards. "The bill is not in
flexible in structure; there
is a certain degree of flexi
bility from college to col
ege." Schlacter was asked
whether or not senators
would be allowed to serve on
the boards. He answered
that provisions for senators
sitting on the boards were
considered, but these were
not recommended and would
have to left up to the boards.
"This bill provides a
framework for action, the
actual construction of the
boards will be left to their
own perogative," he said.
In supporting the bill, Sen.
Dick Schulze said that he felt
the bill to be a "beginning."
He said that there is a need
in the area of improving the
academic area of the Uni
versity in regard to student
involvement.
"This bill is a step in t h e
right direction," Schulze de
clared. "It could provide the
leadership for student in
volvement in their educa
tion." The bill was approved by '
the senate by a unanimous
vote.
Late Forms Cost
In other action, the senate
resolved to approve the
change in the service charge
for turning in late registra
tion forms and other forms
to the administration.
The change, as proposed
by Lee Chatfield, associate
dean of student affairs,
would add a $10 service
charge when a student fails
to "meet a published dead
line date for completing ap
plication for admission, re
port of health examination,
application for registration,
and payment of tuition and
fees."
Explaining the motion be
fore the Senate, Chatfield
said that this procedure was
adopted a year ago for the
late payment of fees only.
"It is necessary in order for
us to1 get the records c o m
plcted in time. If these things
are not completed in time, it
involves an expensive opera
tion in terms of time."
Bob Samuelson, who asked
that the Senate resolve to
4 'Hm
m., -) ? n .If .a '4, J i s V V
1 ' " fll4ffi
Charges
approve the change, moved
that the resolution be amend
ed to read that the service
charge will not exceed $10.
He based this change on
the fact that in some cases
the work resulting from
handing in the papers late
would cost $10 while in oth
ers it wouldn't. He recom
mended that Chatfield set up
a scale that would reflect the
time involved for processing
late forms.
Chatfield said that the ser
vice charge was not intend
ed for revenue or for a fine,
but strictly as a service
charge for the work involved
THE BIGGEST SPONGERS IN HISTORY . . . according to the poet Homer, were
the gang of young men who tried to woo the wife of Ulysses.
Moochers Plague Friends
For Clothes, Notes, Books
By Susie Jenkins
Across the halls and malls
of the University of Nebras
ka, one of the most familiar
phrases to echo around the
campus is, "Hey, buddy, can
I borrow a cigarette?"
Many a young coed has
rushed back to her dorm
room just half an hour be
fore her date, only to see the
dress she had planned to
wear leaving the dorm on the
back of her roommate.
"Moochers," as many uni
versity students will attest,
abound in unwanted numbers
on the campus.
As one confounded fresh
man stated, "Nebraska must
have the first and last of the
original spongers registered
on this campus!"
Actually, the first spongers
in history seem to have been
a gang of young men who
took over the home and wife
of Ulysses, the hero of Hom
er's Odyssey according to
Precis, Inc.

in processing the late forms.
In discussing the motion,
Sen. Liz Aitken said that if
the Senate approved of this
change, that they would be
merely a "rubber stamp."
"This is not our change. I
say table the resolution or
defeat it. Let the administra
tion do it; let them take it to
the Regents. If we act oth
erwise, it will be merely a
rubber stamp," she stressed.
The resolution was passed
by the Senate by a vote of 24
to 4.
'Small Mistake'
Terry Schaaf, ASUN pres
ident, explained to the sena
When Ulysses returned
home after 20 years at sea,
he found the suitors all vying
for the attentions of his wife.
Ulysses and his son Tele
machus attacked the problem
at its root, slaying all the
suitors except .one who was
politely asked to leave.
While revengeful students
at the University would rar
ly resort to such basic tactics
to regain a sweater or a pair
of gloves, several students in
terviewed by the Daily Ne
braskan expressed similar
opinions.
"I haven't seen my anthro
pology notes for two weeks,
and there's one lulu of an
hour exam coming up!" com
mented one disgrunted soph
omore. "Missing notes and ciga-
rettes isn't such a problem,
but I would appreciate the re
turn of my car," remarked
an upperclassman. "The last
time I heard, it was being
overturned in Boulder."

tors the problem surround
ing Mark Schrieber's seat
on the Senate. He said that
the original apportionment
was done by dividing the to
tal enrollment of the Univer
sity second semester last
year by 35 (the number of
seats on the Senate). This
figure was then divided into
the enrollment of each spe
cific college.
The figures for each c o 1
lege reflect the number of
senators they should have.
In some cases seats were
given to colleges when the

Clothes-borrowing by t h e
aspiring clothes horse seems
to be the most universal prob
lem for the combatants of
moochism.
One coed noted that des
pite her various attempts,
half of her sweater collec
tion is in various rooms in
her sorority house.
"For two months," growled
one student, "The only time
I ever say my shirts were
when my roommate walked in
wearing them."
"Borrowed" books are an
other more serious problem.
Students often discover that
one of their books is missing,
only to find a suspiciously
similar book on the "Used"
counter at the bookstore.
"We have a fair-sized prob
lem with students turning in
stolen books," commented a
bookstore official. "At least
once a day a questionable
character returns some ques
tionable books.
"We don't investigate re
turned books during the first
few weeks of school, but when
the same boy comes in with
several different books for
sale, we sometimes wonder."
"I would sincerely appreci
ate the return of a twenty
five dollar pair of shoes and
a sixteen-dollar pair of
slack s," said one senior.
"Money's tight these days."
Money is one commodity
that is often loaned, never to
be seen again.
"People who continually
have to loan their friends
funds should start charging in
terest!" said an irate soph
omore. "Loaning money is never a
problem for me because I
never have any," commented
a coed.
"People never borrow any
thing more than nickels and
dimes," another said, "but it
really adds up after a week,
especially if you're in need of
change. And somehow they
never seem to remember that
they've borrowed it.". . . .
"The only trouble I've had
with moochers is when a
friend borrowed my boyfriend
for a date," said one coed.
"She hasn't returned him
yet!"
