Schrekinger To Offer
Vote Age Amendment
By Ton! Victor
Senior Staff Writer
A proposal favoring lower
ing the voting age to 18 in
Nebraska will be presented
Dec. 12 to the Nebraska Coun
cil on Children and Youth
(NCCY).
John Schrekinger, Univer
sity student, heads the NCCY
study committee that will
present the proposal for
NCCY approval and support.
The proposal is the result of
a four-month study by t h e
Committee of Minimum Vot
ing Age.
Schrekinger will also pre
sent a form for a biH that
was written up for the com
mittee by the State Attorney
General's Office. According
to the bill, Article 6, Section
State Senators To Visit:
Budget To Be Discussed
Letting the state senators
know the impact of an inade
quate budget on the Univer
sity is one of the most valu
able things University stu
dents can accomplish when
talking to state senators, ac
cording to Curt Bromm,
chairman of the ASUN Legis
lative Liaison committee.
When the senators visit the
living units, as they will be
doing in the next few months,
he continued, students should
feel free to "discuss the prob
lems, their feelings and com
plaints" concerning the Uni
versity. Bromm and co-chairman
Marv Almy explained that
Universities
May Offer
Birth Pills
A Collegiate Press Service
study released Tuesday re
ported that out of 315 col
lege health services polled
55 per cent do not prescribe
contraceptive pills.
According to Dr. Samuel
Fuenning, director of the
University Student Health
Center, any person can ob
tain birth control pills at the
Center's pharmacy, with a
doctor's prescription.
Whether or not the doc
tors on Health's staff will
prescribe birth control pills
to unmarried women stu
dents is a matter left to the
prerogative of the doctor
involved.
Fuenning said that Stu
dent Health "makes no dis
tinction between birth con
trol pills and any other
type of drug."
The study, released by
Dr. Ralph M. Buttermore,
president of the Pacific
Coast College Health Asso
ciation, reported than 26
per cent of the health ser
vices surveyed will pre
scribe only to married wom
en students. Only 4 per cent
will prescribe for single, un
married, women.
Fuenning criticized the
poll as "vape. I'd want to
know more about how the
poll was taken, what schools
were involved, and how
they ran their services."

1 of the Constitution of Ne
braska would be changed to
allow 18, 19 and 20-year-olds
in the state, who have met
the other voting require
ments, to become electors.
The bill, if formally drafted
and approved by the Legisla
ture, would then place the is
sue on the ballot in Novem
ber of 1968, in the form of a
constitutional amendment.
Schrekinger and his group
have been in touch with both
national and state officials
concerning the lowering of
the voting age. Organizations
within the state have also
been canvassed for support.
Governor-elect Norbert T.
Tiemann went on record dur
ing his recent campaign as
favoring a lowering of the
they hoped to accommodate
every senator who wished to
come visit the University.
Their committee has sent in
vitations to the senators and
have received "a generally
favorable response."
The first two senators to
participate in the program,
Mrs. Calista Cooper Hughes
and Terry Carpenter, spoke
at campus living units Mon
day. Almy suggested that the
students "simply be them
selves and talk with the sena
tors." He added that they should
also try to "look into the total
picture facing the senators
"including the problem of
taxes."
"We must be interested in
what they are doing aside
from having them interested
in us," Bromm agreed.
He explained that all cam
pus living units have been
contacted about having a
state senator for dinner and
that "all the sororities, fra
ternities and dormitories said
they wanted them."
The living units will be
contacted on an individual
basis as to when a senator
would be available to attend,
he added.
Aside from bringing the
senators to campus, Bromm
continued, the committee
plans to reach the people in
the state itself through the
communications media and
student speaking engage
ments. "We have contacted 44 ra
dio stations throughout the
state and have cut tapes con
cerning the University budg
et and problems," he said.
Civic and service groups In
the state will hear some of
the 30 University students
who are planning on can
vassing the state on behalf of
the budget request, he
added.
The speaking engagements
begin Dec. 8 at the Lincoln
Lion's Club. From there the
group plans to speak in Oma
ha and Lincoln until Christ
mas vacation and move "out
state after the first of the
year."
Bromm said that the speak
ers will attempt to explain the
budget and express student
views of what we think the
budget can do for the Univer
sity and what the University
does for the state."

voting age in Nebraska. He
stated that he would take
steps to implement such a
measure, because of the num
ber of youths bearing arms
at this age without the right
to vote and because of the
"high intellectual level" of
youth today.
Nebraska delegate of the
U.S. House of Representa
tives, from the Second Con
gressional District, Glenn
Cunningham, has also stated
his views that suffrage should
be extended to 18-year-olds.
A recent poll of political
figures across the nation con
cerning lowering the voting
age was conducted by Mod
erator magazine. The results
printed in the November is
sue showed that the great
majority of officials respond
ing, favored the proposal.
The poll also showed that
not one running for national
office since World War II has
not endorsed an expansion of
suffrage. This includes: Pres
ident Lyndon B. Johnson. Sen.
Barry Goldwater, late Presi
dent John F. Kennedy, former
vice president Richard Nixon,
former President Dwight Eis
enhower, late United Nations
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson,
former President Harry S.
Truman, former New York
Gov. Thomas Dewey and late
President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.
The Moderator poll of the
U.S. House of Representa
tives found that 125 Congress
men are in favor of the 18-year-old
vote, twelve Con
gressmen opposed, thirteen
undecided the rest not re
sponding. Forty-one U.S. Senators are
in favor of the proposal, six
are opposed, five are unde
cided the rest not respond
ing. A national Gallup Poll tak
en in August 1965 asked, "Do
you think that persons 18, 19
and 20 years old should be
permitted to vote or not?"
The response showed that
57 per cent of adults polled
said "yes" and 39 per cent
said "no". Four per cent were
undecided.
If the NCCY decides to sup
port Schrekinger committee's
position to lower the voting
age, the NOCY would intro
duce a bill in the next session
of the Legislature and call
for support from political fig
ures, and people of the state,
according to Schrekinger.
Students Fined
For No License
Eight to ten students a
day go through Lincoln's
Municipal traffic court be
cause they failed to obtain
a Nebraska driver's license,
according to Capt. Robert
Myers of the Lincoln Police
Department.
The fine usually amounts
to six or seven dollars, ac
cording to Capt. Myers.
"Students from outside Ne
braska have just 30 days
to acquire a Nebraska
driver's license," Myers
added.

SGA Acclaims Rights Bill,
Cite ASUN As 'Outstanding1
By Eileen Wlrth
New Assistant
P r a I s e for the Nebraska
student Bill of Rights was ex
pressed by most of the presi
dents of the Big Eight Stu
dent governments attending
the Big Eight Student Govern
ment Association convention
Friday and Saturday.
The ASUN is "one of the
outstanding student govern
ments in the Big Eight," ac
cording to Chips Barlow, vice
president of the Associated
Students of the University of
Colorado.
Paul Peterson, of the Uni
versity of Oklahoma, said he
agreed with Nebraska's Bill
of Rights since it seemed to
be necessary. He praised the
leaders of the ASUN, especial
ly Cheryl Adams, the Big
Eight Student Government
Coordinator who "did the best
job anybody has done."- -
The University of Missouri
is also working on a student
Bill of Rights, according to
Missouri Student Association
president Bill Thompson.
He said that Nebraska and
Missouri have basically the
same policies and programs
although the structures of the
two governments are differ
ent. Jim Geringer, president of
Kansas State University Stu
dent Government Association,
said KSU is considering a Stu
dent Bill of Rights similar to
Nebraska's. He added that
ASUN is "doing a very good
job of making student govern
ment meaningful."
Opinions as to the organiz
ation and the functioning of
the convention varied.
Bob Bird of the Oklahoma
State Student Association said
this convention laid the basis
for Improving the organiza
tion but that the convention
itself was disorganized.
Peterson disagreed and
said he thought the conven
tion was extremely good. He
praised the work of Bill Hans
mire, the convention's chair
man and termed Hansmire
himself "tremendous". He
added that he found the pres

idents conference was espec
cially beneficial.
Barlow, of the University of
Colorado said he thinks the
convention will be a lot better
in years to come because the
various governments will be
more ready to cooperate and
make the Big Eight Student
Government Association a
real coordinator.
The president of Missouri's
student government, Bill
Thompson, said the contact
with other schools had been
"very beneficial". He com
mented that he thought bet
ter preparation for the con
vention would have aided or
ganization. A representative of Iowa
State's student government,
Mark Sohn, agreed with this.
He termed the lack of organ
ization the fault of the con
vention's set up, not individual
members. He said he thought
the spring meeting of the new
and old presidents and the
earlier convention would help.
ASUN president Terry
Schaaf said he was pleased
that all eight conference
schools had beer able to
come. He said the discussions
on problems common to all
schools were helpful In giving
an idea of how other schools
run things.
Many universities in the
Big Eight have programs and
problems similar to those at
Nebraska according to state
ments made by their presi
dents. Faculty course evaluation,
college bowl and a model UN
were among the programs be
ing worked on by the Okla
homa State Student Associa
tion, according to Bird.
The University of Oklaho
ma has published a student
directory, has established ad
visory councils for the Presi
dent of the University, and
advisory councils for the
deans of colleges, according
to Peterson.
He said that the Universi
ty of Oklahoma is not work
ing on a Student Bill of Rights
because there is no need for
it. He added that the Okla
homa student government has
a "tremendous relationship
with the administration."
The Associated Students of
the University of Colorado are
working on a new disciplin
ary structure according to
Chips Barlow. They are also
trying to establish joint stu
dent - faculty - administration
boards to encourage better
communication. As an exam
ple of this better communi
cation, Barlow continued, the
Vice-president of ASUC now
has speaking privileges at
Board of Regents meetings.
Thompson said that the
Missouri students are trying
to abolish required class at
tendance prior to vacation.
They are working on a facul
ty evaluation book and plan
to use the Nebraska book as
a model, he said.
Kansas State is conducting
a study of student rights and
responsibility and the role of
student government, Geunger
said. In addition they are
conducting a student referen
dum on the athletic stadium's
expansion and trying to in
stitute a pass-fail system
be added.
Iowa State is conducting a
study of women's hours and
trying to remove restriction
on women's keys, Sohn
stated.
He said they are trying to
institute a pass-fail system
and plan to use the Nebraska
program as a model.
kebaaf said he would like
to see the ASUN institute a
community relations program
similar to that which Okla
homa uses.
Under this program the
president of the college, the
chief of police, the mayor and
the student government lead
er hold regular meetings and
discuss such problems as
street closing, parking and
crime.

SEAN Fall Meeting
Critical Of Courses
A little fresh air needs to
blow into the teachers col
lege curriculums across the
state, according to dele
gates from 17 Nebraska col
leges who met in Lincoln
Saturday.
The delegates, attending
the fall meeting of the Stu
dent Education Association
of Nebraska (SEAN), infor
mally agreed that the cur
riculums offered education
majors are outdated in
some aspects, pile "busy
work" on students, lack
flexibility and do not offer
enough practical experience
for the future teachers.
The students' criticism
was directed most heavily
at the lack of good practi
cal experience offered as
part of their educational
process.
Many of the delegates
said they have no opportu
nity even for classroom ob
servation until they are well
along in their course work.
Most stated that their col
leges delay the student
teaching, the first real con
tact with the teaching ex
perience, until the senior
year when it may be too
late to discover one is not
suited for teaching.

University delegation.
Carol Potter, state secre
tary and a University dele
gate, agreed that there is a
lack of practical experience,
offered University educa- -tion
majors.
Miss Potter said most
University education ma
jors do not become involved
with the educational envir
onment they will be work
ing in until they do their
student teaching in their
senior year. Even then, the ,
experience lasts only one
semester.
The convention delegates
cites a system of teacher
aids through which educa
tion students could assist
teachers in directing extra
curricular activities or in-the-classroom
situation as
one possible step toward
better preparedness for
teachers.
The delegates also noted
that teaching experience in
schools of different socio
economic levels would be
helpful to them in their fu
ture careers.
A teacher aid system at
the University "is what we
hope for," Miss Potter said.
Featured speaker at the
convention was Walter
Beggs, Dean of the Univer
sity Teachers College.
Beggs told the delegates
that education is the most
powerfully stimulating area
in a confused culture. He
said teacher education must
include "abundant and rel
evant lab experience" and
that "classroom lectures
are not enough."
Most of the convention
delegates echoed the words
of Wayne State SEA Presi
dent Nancy Dohse, who
said the main job of the
Wayne delegation would be .:
to "carry home the news."
Miss Dohse said, "I think
one of the first things we're
going to do is go to see our
administration."
"We're trying to get the
students out of the class
room, get education courses
more geared to reality than
they are," Miss Potter said.
Miss Potter said Beggs
has been working with the
University SEA (UNSEA)
to get curriculum changes
but added, "We're the ones
who have to present the
demands first."
