CLEAN-UP WORK BEGAN . . . Tuesday on the third floor of the Social Sciences
building which was damaged by fire.
Damages Estimated At $10,000
In Social Science Building Fire
A fire on the third floor of
the Social Sciences Building
brought five Lincoln Fire De
partment trucks to the Uni
versity campus early Tuesday
morning.
The fire completely burned
the office of Edward Haus
wald, a business research as
sistant, and caused severe
smoke and heat damage to
three adjoining offices and the
third floor corridor, according
to George R. Miller, Univer
sity physical plant adminis
trator. Lincoln Fire Chief Dallas W.
Johnson said Tuesday that the
fire was caused by "careless
smoking."
Although a detailed estimate
of the fire's damage has not
yet been made, Miller said
that damage probably would
be about $10,000.
According to fire depart
ment information, Hauswald
left the building about 10:30
Senseney Petition Rejected;
Senate Could Be Plaintiff
A petition filed last week
by David Senseney asking
the Student Court to give a
declaratory judgment on the
legality of Sen. Mark Schrei
ber's seat in the Senate was
rejected by the court.
As a result, the Senate will
decide Wednesday whether
or not it will agree to being a
plaintiff in a suit against
Schreiber. If the Senate
chooses not be become in
volved in a suit, Sen. Liz Ait
ken is expected to file a suit,
naming herself as a plaintiff.
Miss Aitken said that she
would not file the suit because
of any malice towards Schrei
ber, but rather so that it
could be decided whether or
not his seat is constitutional.
The petition by Senseney
was rejected by the court be
cause, as Chief Justice Keith
Mclntyre stated, "since
Schreiber has rights involved,
it would be futile for us to
hear the arguments and then
had down a declaratory judg
ment. Our opinion would not
be binding upon Schreiber."
Mclntyre explained that a
court will not take a c a s e
where it is "ex-Party. As a
general rule, a court will only
decide in a case where there
are two opposing parties."
"We have indicated in the
past that we might take cases
without the opposing parties,
but only under certain circum
siology, said his own evalua
tion had been "entirely too
flattering." He said that stu
dents seemed to be leaning
over backwards to give cre
dit to their professors.
Barnawell said that stu
dents should be more realis
tic in their criticisms and
not merely look for "enter
tainment" in the classroom.
Associate professor of zool
ogy Paul Johnsgard said he
was "disappointed" that no

p.m. The fire, probably caused
by a pipe that was left burn
ing, smoldered until its dis
covery early in the morning.
Campus police officer Ray
mond Gibson spotted flames
coming from a third floor win
dow in the building and called
the Lincoln Fire Department
at 2:33 a.m.
Three engine companies and
two trucks answered the call.
Firemen were at the scene of
the fire for about V-k hours,
including time for salvage and
clean-up work.
The fire gutted the room in
which the blaze began,
caused heat and smoke dam
age to part of the third floor,
and completely destroyed a
number of books and papers,
two typewriters and other of
fice equipment. Miller said
that research amounting to
"half a limetime's work" was
lost and that some Nebraska
stances. For instance, we
would act in this manner if
there was major legislation
coming up in the Senate, and
they asked us to give a dec
laratory judgment concern
ing its constitutionality," he
stressed.
"But these circumstances
are not involved in Schrei
ber's case. There is a direct
party in this case, and it
should be named and in
volved. I talked to a major
ity of the court, and they
agreed that the petition
should be turned down," Mc
lntyre said.
As a possible alternative
and solution to future prob
lems, Mclntyre stated that
ASUN should establish the po
sition of Attorney General.
"People in the Senate could
go to this person and ask his
opinion on what course of ac
tion should be taken," he said.
The problem is a result of
the apportionment carried
out by the electoral commis
sion last spring. An .0008 er
ror was made in the appor
tionment and gave a seat to
Arts and Sciences which be
longed to Teachers College.
Teachers College received
an extra seat from Graduate
College because of the reap
portionment which was car
ried out last Spring. There
fore, if Schreiber's seat is
found to be illegal, the t e a t
evaluation had been fair in
his own case, but that it was
especially difficult to evaluate
some higher-level courses. He
said that the booklet might
provide a "good reason" for
rc-evaluatlon of the zoology
labs.
All of nine professors con
tacted agreed that they would
continue to submit their
courses for evaluation in the
future.
However, Arlington Fink,
associate professor of mathe
matics, said that he saw "no
need for such an evaluation."
Fink said that he had told
his classes that most students
Business Research Informa
tion was destroyed.
Workmen began repainting
the damaged offices Tuesday
afternoon. Repairs on win
dows, light fixtures and floors
still remain to be done.
Third floor offices occupied
by the College of Business Ad
ministration will be vacated
until repairs are completed.
Miller said that the Social
Sciences Building is not wired
with a fire alarm. All new
buildings on campus and
buildings that have been re
modeled extensively are
equipped with fire alarm sys
tems, he added.
Tuesday morning's fire was
the most extensive fire in a
University classroom building
in a number of years, Miller
stated. It was the first since
a small fire was extinguished
last year in a Lyman Hall
custodian's room, he said.
would be given back to t h e
Graduate College, because
the -court has already found
the reapportionment to be un
constitutional. Another problem involved
is that if Schreiber's seat is
illegal and he still retains it,
any legislation passed or re
jected by one vote of the Sen
ate (with Schreiber voting),
could be contested in court.
Rush Book Gets
Committee Study
Panhellenic passed a mo
tion Monday to refer the
proposed combined sorority
rush book to committee for
further investigation and re
search. The rush book committee
would look into such aspects
as the cost, possible pub
lishers, and then present the
research report to Panhel
lenic along with the pro's
and con's of the issue.
Chairman of the rush book
committee, Linda Parker,
said that Panhellenic should
stop and consider every as
pect thoroughly before mak
ing definite decision.
If approved by Panhel-.
lenic, the proposed rush
book could not be ready for
rush week of 1967, but
would be published for the
following year.

Fink said that he did not
think students could learn
from such "short-term" eval
uations. E. C. Gross, assistant pro
fessor of physical education,
said that the evaluation sys
tem could be valuable if ev
eryone had to participate. He
said that there should be rec

Stillman Student Charges ...
Campus Has 'Token Integration J
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
A Negro exchange student
from Stillman College said
Tuesday that the University
campus has only token inte
gration and that Negro stu
dents feel they are "not want
ed" in campus life.
"The Negro student is here
on campus, but he's not real
ly a part of overall student
life," said Alice Watts, one
of the two Stillman students
here on the ASUN exchange
program with the all-Negro
college in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Miss Watts said the cam
pus has a token integration,
demonstrated by interracial
rooming situations in the
dorms and by the selection
of a few Negroes for campus
honors, but that the real spir
it of racial integration is
missing.
The Negro student on cam
pus has limited opportunities
in all aspects of life outside
the classroom because he is
a Negro, Miss Watts said.
"You aren't just another
student here you are a Ne
gro student," she said.
Miss Watts noted that Ne
gro students are not really
active in campus affairs, and
attributed this to a lack of
opportunity for the students.

had been treated fairly, his
own evaluation "did not have
much meaning" since he
wouldn't be teaching that par
ticular class in the future.
Dr. Robert Cranford, pro
fessor of journalism, was not
included in the booklet, but
only because "nobody ever
asked". Cranford said that
he would like to participate
and thought that more teach
ers should because they "get
into grooves."
Cranford said that unfortu

Ted Suhr, RAM presi
lent, said RAM passed the
motion unanimously urging
the constitution's approval
after discussion of all the
RAM officers.
Along with RAM other
groups who have urged the
approval of the constitution
include the Interdorm Co
ordinating Committee who
In many aspects of student
life, Miss Watts said, the Ne
gro student feels he is "not
wanted" and therefore does
not try to break into these
areas.
Miss Watts said that a Ne
gro girl had gone through
Rush Week this fall, but had
not been pledged by any
house and that another Ne
gro coed had tried out for the
pom pom girl last spring but
had not been chosen.
Whether these coeds were
turned down because they
didn't have the ability or be
cause they were Negroes no
one really knows, Miss Watts
said. She said a Negro al
ways wonders, however, "Did
I not make it because I'm a
Negro."
"It's been quite frustrating
for me here because I come
from an all-Negro college
where all the opportunities
were open to me," Miss Watts
said.
"The Negro student on this
campus doesn't have the op
portunity to gain from other
students but just to gain from
other Negro students," she
said.
Miss Watts said the answer
to the racial situation on the
campus is to "develop an un
at NU "feel unwanted."

"hadn't seen the booklet"

someone loaned him a copy.
He said that he had under

was asked to do so.

had been "confusing" and

Bowers said that at times

An ad hoc committee to
defeat the Interdorm con
stitution had been formed
early this week and urged
residents to vote "no" on
the proposal.
Rod Basler. spokesman
for the ad hoc committee

reason it disapproved of
the constitution was be
cause of a lack of, and in
sufficient information about

AWS Ballot Strikes
Sign-In Procedures
AWS voted unanimously
Tuesday to eliminate sign-in
sheets for University women
beginning next semester.
Under this system all wom
en except seniors will have
11 p.m. week night closing
hours antf signing in and out
will be on a voluntary basis.
Seniors will have midnight
closing hours or the use of
the key system.
Coeds must still sign out
for out-of-towns, overnights
and when going home.
Although a system for room
checks is not specifically in
corporated into the resolu
tion, room checks will be
made regularly, Barb Beck
mann, AWS judicial vice
president said.
"The technicalities for op
erating a room check system
are still to be worked out,"
Miss Beckmann added.
Mrs. Jean Register, AWS
adviser, noted that a room
check system seemed to be
a regression from the present
system and that it could of
fend the women's integrity.
"It is the women's respon
sibility to realize this system
is set up for their protection,"

AWS representatives.
up to the students, whether
by personal talks with the
teacher or by such a booklet.
Mcgay said that some eval
uated classes presented a bad
statistical sampling of opin
ion because of small class
size.
Professor of English Rob
ert L. Hough said that he
had learned what the students
thought of his teaching me

that this booklet would en
courage more teachers to
participate, but added that
some would "still be reluc

idea of coordination could

have been cleared up."

who are interested" in furth
ering this progress.
Miss Watts said the Still
man exchange program will
be a definite aid to develop
ing this understanding.
"I don't really' feel that
not wanted here, in fact, I
feel I am, but the situation
is not ideal," she said of her
status.
When the University repre
sentatives go to Stillman,
probably next semester, they
will not encounter the same
problem of lack of opportun
ity that she has found here
Miss Watts said.
The Stillman campus has
had white students before and
these students were readily
accepted in campus life and
did not find themselves ex
cluded from the life of the
Negro college the way Ne
groes are excluded from the
campus life here, she said.
Miss Watts, a junior math
major, is from Stillman,
Ala. She will be returning to
Stillman College at the end
of this semester.
The program can not be
effective if it is not enforced
and room checks appear to
be the best enforcement me
thod, Miss Windle added.
The 1966 Nebraska AWS
Convention to be held In
Kearney Nov. 11 and 12 was
also discussed at Tuesday'!
board meeting.
Four AWS Board members,
Dede Darland, Marti Hughes,
Dianne McDonald and Susie
Sitorius, will represent the
University at the convention.
The board members will
present four different work
shops concerning the judicial
and program areas, senior
key systems and procedures
for forming an AWS, Miss
Darland said.
Of the ten Nebraska col
leges to be represented at
the convention, the Univer
sity of Nebraska and Kear
ney State College are the
only two schools which have
an AWS system, Miss Darland
stated.
Miss Darland added that
one of the main purposes of
the convention is to educate
the representatives about
AWS operations and encour
age them to establish their
own organizations.
