Draft Is 'Oppression Symbol'
By Toni Victor
Senior Staff Writer
An end to the Draft and an
overthrow of governments
was called for by Carl David
son, natioanl vice president
of Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) at Hyde Park
forum Thursday.
Davidson, formerly a Uni
versity graduate assistant,
took the opportunity at Hyde
Park to give his views on
"corporate liberalism the
American system."
He spoke three times in a
one-and-a-half hour program
that also took in the "non
sense aspect" of ASUN, traf
fic lights at 14th and R
Streets and civil rights.
Davidson said that "Amer
ica is playing Mississippi cop
for the world" and that he
"encouraged all young men
to resist the draft in all pos
sible ways."
He called the draft a sym
bol of oppression and noted
that the war in Viet Nam
had precipitated moral crises
in the people of this nation.
"I'm 1A and I'll probably
be in jail in a few months,"
stated Davidson as he ex
Graduate Delegates Named;
New Senators Outline Goals
The Student Senate elected
two new senators and made
a pending appointment
Wednesday afternoon, all
from Graduate College. They
are Al Spangler, Thomas
Greer and Dennis Bartels.
Spangler said he has set
two goals to be accomplished
while serving on the Senate.
The first is to cut out much
of the "trivia" that is consid
ered at Senate meetings.
He nsed the example of the
Senate's considering the con
tent of organizations' consti
tutions. "This is not ASUN's
business and I hope to
Dooley Foundation
To Get AUF Funds
Part of the All University
Fund's $6,000 goal this year
will go to the Tom Dooley
Foundation to provide med
ical services for people of
Asia.
This foundation is one of
five that University stu
dents selected to receive
AUF funds this year. Oth
er charities are: Radio
Free Europe, United Serv
ice Organization, National
Mental Health Association
and the American Cancer
Society.
Through orphanages in
Viet Nam, outpatient clinics
in Laos, and dispensary
units in India, the Tom Doo
ley Foundation helps the
"sick and hopeless people
of Asia understand the best
of America through the
mercy of medicine," ac
cording to an article in the
New York Times.
The foundation's medical
outposts operate in one of
the world's most politically
troubled areas of the world.
Work in this area was be
gun by 1956 by Tom Dooley
who died several years ago.

Survey:
By Bob Hepburn
Junior Staff Writer
Fewer financial costs and
greater personal freedom are
the primary advantages of
off-campus living.
These statements made by
University students con
trasted with a recent article
in the Daily Nebraskan on a
thesis completed this summer
by Miss Mary Whan, a grad
uate student in the depart
and management.
In her thesis, Miss Whan
said that the average month
ly expenses for off-campus
and on-campus students were
equal.
A random survey of off-
plained that he would not
file a conscientious objector
status, nor would he flee the
country.
He said that men who are
against being drafted should
not feel they are alone with
nowhere to turn, but that
SDS could help poeple in le
gal ways.
He suggested that a man
could gain a year by stalling
for a conscientious objector's
status.
Terry Farrell, a University
student, asked "What is the
alternative to the draft?"
Farrell stated that the "Reds
aren't going to peacefully co
exist" and asked who is go
ing to protect the country.
"Will you let your freedom
go down the drain?" he de
clared in response to David
son's speech.
ASUN 'Nonsense'
Jim Hubbart, a University
graduate assistant, moved
the discussion to the political
power of ASUN. claiming
that the last meeting of the
student Senate was "non
sense." He cited various
"nonsensical" questions that
had been asked of interview
change the by-laws so it will
not be their power any long
er." "I also hope to get an is
sue going in the Senate which
would make the Senate's
powers clear. I think the
housing case that came up at
Wednesday's meeting could
be such a case."
Spangler said that he in
tends to work like other sena
tors and not as a "wrecker."
He stated that he felt that the
rest of the Senate wants the
same problems solved as he
does.
Two issues he would like to
the foundation.
The foundation's newest
program in Laos is a 200
bed civilian-military hos
pital in Pakse. This is h
ing developed into a medi
cal center for southern
Laos, not only for treat
ment, but also for training
physicians, nurses, tech
nicians and midwives. Its
$25,000 X-ray unit is the
only one in southern Laos.
In addition to its program
in Laos, the Dooley Foun
dation assists an orphanage
in Viet Nam and is plan
ning to send two surgical
teams to one of 28 surgical
pavilions built by the
United States.
Operating a mobile medical-surgical
van with two
smaller jeep-trailer dispen
sary units, the foundation
serves some 100,000 Tibet
ans in northern India who
have fled Tibet since the
Communist aggression and
the flight of the Dalai from
Lhasa in March, 1959.
Jennifer Marshall, special
events chairman, stated
that the University drive to
collect money for all five
charities will extend to Nov.
22.
Off-Campus Living Advantages Refute
campus students showed that
there is an almost unanimous
disagreement with this find
ing. John Elliott, sophomore in
pre-forestry, said that his ex
penses "have dropped nearly
$35 a month from last year"
when he lived in Abel Hall.
Expenses differ for individ
ual students according to such
variables as the type of hous
the number of persons shar
ing the accommodations,
food cosumptioii and general
spending habits each stu
dent has.
The biggest single variant
is food. Many of the students
said that they felt food prices
ees for Senate positions.
"It's high time the Senate
got excited about something
other than at what time they
would get their pictures tak
en," stated Hubbart in ref
erence to Cornhusker picture
schedules.
Saying that he was tired of
hearing about student rights
when students have no discip
line, Duane Tappe gave a
furious attack on students
who walk in front of cars on
14th and R Streets, as if
"they were six years old."
Powerless Majority
Speaking on freedom and
democracy, Davidson noted
the powerlessness of the vast
majority of Americans who
fall outside the "ruling class."
He told of a Committee for
Independent Political Action
(CIPA) that had been organ
ized in the 49th ward of Chi
cago. CIPA was organized by
people in middle and upper
middle class neighborhoods
of a "Chicago that is under
control of the Daly machine."
A political program, ac
cording to Davidson, was set
up that included stands from
see raised in Senate are that
of the student bill of rights
and University reform.
"This is the sort of thing
that the senate should be con
sidering as opposed to worry
ing about queens for dances,
etc.," Spangler stressed.
Spangler is a philosophy
graduate student from Penn
sylvania State University.
Tom Greer said that he is
interested in no particular
problem within the Senate. He
stated however, that he wants
the senate to look into the
problem of grading grad
uate students.
"Therefore I would like to
be on the Academic Research
committee. I am also in
terested in the Faculty Laison
committee, for I would like to
find out what they are doing,"
he explained.
Concerning a student bill of
rights, Greer said that he felt
one would be fine but "there
is no point in writing up
rights that we haven't ac
quired." "A bill should include the
ones we have and resolutions
on the ones we want to work
for. In other words, it should
not be a blanket bill including
all the rights we think we
should have, but rather one
that includes the ones we
have," Greer explained.
Greer is a graduate student
in agriculture economics.
Dennis Bartels was elected
to the senate on a provision
ary basis, the provision being
that if Sen. Mark Schreiber
is removed from his seat by
the Student Court, Bartels will
assume that seat.
The bill of rights, Bartels
feels, is not a question of re
sponsibility and rights being
related. "In order to have a
right, you don't have to show
you are responsible. The right
should be ours in any case."
"If the rights of the
students are being trod upon,
the Senate should be think
ing of some form of action to
change the problem," Bartels
stressed.
He is a philosophy grad
uate student from Occidental
college.
were generally rising, but all
noted that they continued to
be well-fed.
"While we may not eat an
exactly balanced diet like they
have in the dorms, we do get
to have what we like and
when we like," a senior coed
said.
Responsibility
"Living off-campus gives a
person an opportunity to ac
cept true responsibility and
independence," another coed
stated.
Several agreed that off
campus living also gives them
a chance to learn bow to run
a household, budget money
and schedule their lime.
Viet Nam to local parks. To
become an independent par
ty on the ballot, CIPA signed
10,000 names to the required
petition.
The petition was presented
to the electoral commission
and was turned down with
'no explanation and advice to
. take the case to court.
Davidson stated that CIPA
had been effectively stopped
because of the time and mon
ey element involved in re
peated court trials.
"This is the function of the
ruling class when threatened
to effectively stop the op
position," stated Davidson.
He said that there is a
wide-spread illusion of toler
ance with alternatives, but
that electoral politics is the
game of people who have the
power.
Tump Primer'
Davidson proposed an iso
lationist policy as far as for
eign aid to other countries is
concerned. He stated that
"foreign aid is the pump
primer to suck capital out
of a country."
He gave conditions in Guat
emala and northeastern Bra
zil as examples of "corporate
liberalism" on the part of the
United States.
"It's an interesting pheno
mena: why in Latin America
has the standard of living
gone down, despite U.S. for
eign aid?" asked Davidson.
Another SDS member who
had been to Guatemala re
ported that he had been told
by a representative of Agen
cy for International Develop
ment (AID) that "the pur
pose of AID is to open the
country to American invest
ment," according to David
son. '
Doyle Niemann, who spoke
on "People Power," and Da
vidson seemed to agree that
in Guatemala revolution is
perhaps the only real solution
to the problem. Davidson ad
vocated "good hot lead for
the Yankees."
Niemann was then asked
by a member of the audi
ence whether he would advo
cate revolution in Chicago
and Georgia.
Niemann stated that taking
up arms within the U.S. might
not accomplish any purpose,
and that there are other ways
of gaining civil rights.
Fewer Mistakes
In Computerized
Student Director
The Builders student di
rectory is now on sale in
campus bookstores and the
Nebraska Union.
The directory, which sells
for $1, lists the names, ad
dresses and telephone num
bers of all University stu
dents. "It was run by the com
puter and is more accurate
than last year's directory
which contained a few mis
takes," said Jeff Kushner,
vice president of Builders
public relations.
The directory was printed
on larger pages which are
about the size of the Lincoln
telephone directory. Adver
tisements were printed on
yellow pages that are scat
tered throughout the book.
Builders do not attempt to
make a profit on the sale of
the book, bdt sell it at the
lowest possible price, said
Builders President Jim Kin-youn.
The lack of hours for girls
was cited by all coeds as one
advantage which accom
panies with off-campus living.
Jerry Thompson, senior in
Arts and Sciences, said that
"not having to meet sched
ules or not having to stand
in line like you do in the
dorms" was one of the points
he liked about living off-campus.
Thompson said that meals
were an important factor in
his decision to move Unto an
apartment.
"I got tired to having those
healthy but unappetizing
meals that they served in
the dorms," he said.
