Several department chair men attributed the rejection of the system to space lim itations, departmental struc ture and philosophy of what a student should gain from a course. Schaaf said that the pass fail option had been designed Wednesday, November Budget Set For Governor Frank Morrison's hearing for the University's 1967-69 budget request has been set for Wednesday, Dec. 7. ' Governor-elect Norbert Tie mann said Tuesday that he will attend the hearings, which are open to the public. Tiemann has sent representa tives to most of the other state agency budget hearings which began Nov. 15. The governor's budget hearings are held to give the chief executive an opportun ity to go over the state budg et requests in detail before compiling an executive budg et to be presented to the Leg islature. Nebraska law also requires the governor-elect to make executive budget recommen dations. The University submitted an operational biennial budg et request of $98.6 million to the Legislature Sept. 15 and a capital construction budget request of $32.6 million a month later. f The operational budget re quest anticipates $67 million in state tax money, and the construction funds requested include $24.1 million in state funds. The remaining funds for operational budget will come from tuition and other Uni versity sources and the con struction funds from federal matching grants. Chancellor Clifford Hardin and Vice Chancellor Joseph Soshnik will definitely attend the hearings, according to George Round, director of University Public Relations. Round said some members of the Board of Regents may attend and noted that other administrative officials will AWS Submits Plan For Fall Convention A plan for organizing the AWS constitutional conven tion to be held next fall was introduced before the AWS Board Tuesday by Pam Hedgecock, AWS president. The convention plans were proposed at a meeting held Nov. 11 at which Miss Hedge cock; Miss Helen Snyder, As sociate Dean of Student Af fairs; Candy May, constitu tion chairman and other AWS board members were present. - A chairman for the conven tion will be appointed by the AWS president with the ap proval of the AWS Board next semester, Miss Hedgecock said. The chairman will be se lected in advance of the con vention so she may plan the convention agenda and coor dinate the information re ceived from other universi ties concerning their AWS system, Miss Hedgecock said. AWS is initiating correspon dence with several Univer sities to gather information about their AWS systems. The convention will consist of 35-40 delegates. Any Uni versity woman may apply to be a delegate to the conven tion, Miss Hedgecock said. The delegates will be se 1 e c t e d by an Interviewing board comprised of a facul ty member, an Administra tion representative, an ASUN senator, the constitutional convention chairman and the AWS president. Miss Hedgecock stressed that freshmen women will UwjMiMm-r-ft'fT wiim,W"i for such departments as mu sic, art, and business organ ization. He pointed out that a student might like to try a course in an unfamiliar area without being penalized by a low grade. These three departments -lo not offer pass-fail opiicns. ASUN vice president Roger Doerr said that a "resolution expressing concern" will be introduced at Wednesday's ASUN meeting. Doerr said that a commit tee may be directed to find reasons why departments did not offer the system to stu 30, 1966 Hearing Dec. 7 a 1 s o be at t he hearings. Round said final confirma tion of who will attend as of ficial spokesmen for the Uni versity will be made later. The ASUN Legislative Lia ison Committee will send rep resentatives Marv A 1 m y, Curt Bromm and Phil Bowen. Bromm said no specific pre sentation is planned by the students, but "If the occasion arises we probably will speak." Bromm said other members of the liaison com mittee may attend the hear ings. "I hope some of our stu dent senators will be there," Bromm said. George Bastian, secretary for the University Alumni Association, said the group has no organized plan for sending representatives to the governor's hearings. "I know the Alumni Asso ciation Board of Directors is vitally interested in attend ing and will speak up." Bas tian said. In his three terms in office, Morrison has cut University budget requests in preparing the executive budget and the Legislature has knocked the request seven lower. After Morrison's and Tie mann's recommendations go to the Legislature, the Leg islative Budget Committee will also hold detailed hear ings on agencies' budget re quests and report its recom mendations to the floor where the budget appropria tions may again be altered before the final vote. Here is how Morrison and the Legislature have handled the past three University budget requests: Re- Hike Got.

Selection of the delegates will be made next fall, Miss Hedgecock said, and the con vention will convene shortly after the delegates are or ganized. The method for naming the convention delegates was pat terned after the ASUN Con stitutional Convention held in 1964. However, the ASUN delegates applied for their po sitions through their xesrec tive colleges and were se lected by the deans of the colleges, Miss Hedgecock ex plained. Several other aspects of the constitution follow the organ ization of the ASUN consti tutional convention, Miss Hedgecock said. One of these will include the formation of study groups by the delegates to discuss different areas of the consti tution such as structure, pur poses and representatives outside of the constitutional convention meetings. Miss Hedgecock added that 35-40 delegates will be se lected because this number "is large enough to enable the delegates to breakup into study groups yet small enough so the group can ar rive at some sort of conce sus." The AWS Board will func tion concurrently with the convention Miss Hedgecock said, but will operate under the present AWS constitution. m.-p,m.Ki'i tm't-im'P!i-f dents registering for the sec ond semester. Under the guidelines set up by the faculty senate last year, a student with junior standing may elect to take a course under the pass-fail option if the course is not in the student's major or does not count toward fulfillment of group or minor require ments. Dudley Ashton, chairman of the women's physical educa tion department, said that if a course is "worth doing the work, it is worth getting the grade." Lw. AW UU:r ki IF ONLY LINCOLN HAD A FEW MORE HILLS . . . Bob Trotter searches for a place to test his ski equipment and ability. Sid Enthusiasts Find Colorado Snowless Migration to Colorado doesn't necessarily mean football, but for University ski enthusiasts, it means hitting the slopes. But students eager to ski during the Thanksgiving vaca tion were disappointed by minimal snow reports in the Rockies. Between now and Christmas vacation, heavy snow storms are forecast in the mountains, and hopefully, snow will be packed on the slopes. Skiers are looking forward with excitement to the Christmas holidays when they will make their first runs. By that time snow reports should be good and most ski areas in Colorado and Wyoming will be open. Only three ski areas in Colorado were open during the Thanksgiving weekend and skiing was confined to the upper slopes. . Arapahoe Basin reported 11 inches of snow and a mar ginal base. Vail reported eight inches of snow on the upper slopes and had one poma lift operating. Aspen Highlands reported marginal bases above 9,000 feet and had four lifts operating. Arapahoe Basin has been open since Nov. 11. Its alti tude is 10,500 feet at the base and 12,800 feet at the top lift. It was the earliest to open because it is a couple thousand feet higher than most other ski areas. The Nebraska Union is sponsoring a ski trip to Arapa hoe Basin during semester break. Schreiber Loses Seat; Defense Defeats Itself The Student Court an nounced in a decision read Tuesday that Mark Schreiber should be removed from h I s seat on the Student Senate. Schreiber's counsel claimed that the disparity (the differ ence between the number of students that a senator repre sents in each college) would be greater in the course re quested by ASUN, the plain tiff, in comparison to the pres ent situation as it stands. However, the court, in us ing the theory of disparity, found a better method to make the disparity even less. The ASUN course would have taken the seat held by Schrei ber and given it to Graduate College This, as the defense argued, would change the disparity among the colleges from 176 (presently) to 183, and would make the problem worse. The court came up with the solution of giving Schreiber's seat to Graduate College, and giving a seat presently be longing to Teachers College to Professional College. In this manner the disparity among the representation in the colleges would be less ened to 153. As Chief Justice Keith Mc- Could Defeat Pass-Fail Miss Asmon said mat u a student Is afraid of the grade, she should not take the course. On the other hand, Dudley Bailey, English chairman, said that his department was offering pass-fail courses ard that it was "almost entirely sympathetic" with the philo sophy of pass-fail. Germanic Language chair man D. E. Allison also said that his department agreed with the pass-fail idea as set up by Faculty Senate. He pointed out that pass-tail courses would not meet group The Daily Nebraskan to yC&- Win; J -W1' Vifi Intyre stated in the decision "Thus, Mr. Schreiber would lose his seat even by use of his own theory, if his theory is to be followed to its fullest extent." At Monday's reading of the decision, Schreiber's counsel inquired about the possibili ties of a rehearing. Mcln tyre said that the defense would have one week to file a petition for a rehearing, but that the decision of the court would stand unless it is al tered in such a rehearing. If ASUN decides to follow the court's decision, the seat presently occupied by Sen. John Hall from Teacher's Col lege is in jeopardy. Terry Schaaf, ASUN presi dent, said the matter would have to be discussed with Hall, Hall's two alternatives being either resigning or being the defendant in a suit brought against him to re move him from the Senate (as was done in Schreiber's case.) Schreiber's seat will go to Graduate College and will be filled by Dennis Bartels, who was elected by the senate on a provisional basis, the sen ate anticipating the court's action. requirements in the depsrt- ment. R. Neale Copple, director of the School of Journalism, said that the clause prevent ing students from taking pass fail courses in their major presented the school with a "unique situation, ' since most of the professional courses are only taken by ma jors. Copple said that future pass-fail courses might be al lowed for evening extension courses, providing they have the instructor's approval and are elective courses "not re A & S Students To Vote On Advisory Constitution Arts and Science students will vote Wednesday and Thursday on the constitution for the proposed Student Ad visory Board for the College of Arts and Sciences. It requires a majority vote of those voting in the refer endum for approval. Larry Johnson. ASUN Elec tion Commissioner, said that polling places are set up in Burnett and Andrews Halls and the Nebraska Union and will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. both days. If passed the constitution will provide for the establish ment of a new Student Board aimed at promoting student academic responsibility with in the college. The new Board, according to Mel Schlachter, ASUN Ad visory Board Coordinating chairman, could work to change college requirements and add new courses to the curriculum. Schlachter explained that the Board will provide for "student responsibility and involvement in educational planning". Students can use the Board to effect changes in programs and requirements. They can help establish new courses and investigate present cur- Rights Bill Vote Set For This Spring By Randy Irey Senior Staff Writer Students will probably vote on the proposed Student Bill of Rights in the spring, ac cording to Dick Schulze, chairman of the Student Con duct committee which com pleted a rough draft of the bill Nov. 20. Depending on the action, taken by the Student Senate, the students could be voting on the bill April 12, the ten tative date for the ASUN elections. Schulze said that plans call for the Bill of Rights to be presented to the Senate in the form of amendments to the ASUN constitution. If it is done in this manner, the amendments must be voted upon by the students in order to be ratified. He said that the immedi ate job of the committee is to educate the student body, the faculty and the admini stration in understanding the bill. Schulze said that future plans for the committee call for members to go to var ious living units and discuss the bill with them. The mem bers will be seeking the stu dents' observations and cri ticisms in addition to explain ing their positions in writing the bill. In the area of the faculty and administration, Schulze said that he hopes to discuss the bill this week with G. Robert Ross, Dean of Student Affairs. Plans also call for the bill to be considered by a meet ing of the Faculty Senate Subcommittee on Student Affairs. Members of the Stu dent Conduct committee will also be discussing rough draft with various faculty members. The complete text of the bill's rough draft was print ed in the Nov. 21 issue of the Daily Nebraskan. quiring a journalism prere quisite. Duard Laging, chairman of the art department, said that the department "doesn't want people dabbling into the arts." He said that there is barely room now for majors. Laging added that evening extension classes in art have a pass-fail option, but said that the student "miht as well work for the grade" in order to learn more from the course.

The new Board would con sist of a representative from the six area divisions within the college, two "holdover" members from the previous year and one senator from Arts and Sciences. Robert L. Hough, assistant dean of the college, comment ed that the proposed Board could greatly help student-faculty-administration com munication. He added that the Board should also serve as a link of communication between the college and Student Sen ate and it can be regarded as a cooperative effort of students and faculty to im prove curriculum in the Col let. lie felt that students did have good ideas and that they could provide a lot of worthwhile comments which would be received favorably --tgr- I fiH n't v ' ' u V - - PUZZLE PIECES . . . needed for registration fit together for a second semester schedule. Undergrad Registration To Terminate On Dec. 9 ' Registration forms for sec ond semester classes from junior students with 53 to 88 credit hours are due Wednes day. Registration worksheets from sophomores with 27 to 52 hours are due Dec. 5, and worksheets from freshmen with 0 to 26 hours are due Dec. 9. Worksheets from seniors and graduate students were due Nov. 22. No worksheets will be ac cepted by the office of the registrar after 5 p.m., Dec. 9 until general registration, Jan. 26. An advance tuition pay ment of $50 is to be paid at the time the registration form is returned to the Bur sar's office. At a recent ASUN meeting, Lee W. Chatfield, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, dis cussed the plausibility of as sessing a $10 late fee to all late registrations. The registrar's office has a managerial problem with people who don't do things on time, Chatfield said. H a late fee were charged, people would be prompted to do things on time, he said, and the fee would pay for the extra clerical work which is involved when registrations are not sent in before .the deadline date.

Vol. 90, No. 41 by the faculty. "Schlacter added that the Board will become a part of the "total education" of a student because students will become involved in working with faculty and administra tion in coordinating and plan ning their educational pro grams. He said that "many stu dents sit in a class and don't bothter to ever criticize or comment on their instructors and courses. They will have the means to do this effect ively through the Board." If the constitution is rati fied in the election, the ASUN Advisory Board Committee will immediately conduct in terviews for an interim board that will function until the spring election when board members will be elected."

The Board of Regents would have to approve the late fee before it is estab lished, he said. A $10 service charge is now billed to all students who have not paid their tuition and fees by three weeks after the beginning of the semester's classes.
