Federal Aid
For Building
'" The University has re
ceived a $1,554,410 federal
'grant for construction of a
planned new chemistry
building.
. The grant, received under
.Title II of the Higher Educa
tion Act, is the second fed
eral grant received for the
building.
An earlier grant of $1,302,
585 was received to assist
with costs for undergradu
ate facilities in the buildin;.
The newer grant is to help
with costs of graduate fa
cilities. Both of the grants
came under the Higher Ed
ucation Act.
Construction of the chem
istry building will begin af
ter contracts are let in the
' spring and it should be com
pleted in about two years.
Plans call for an eight
story building with partial
ment, costing $8,603,750, to
' be located on a site south of
Avery Laboratory, north of
the Geography Building and
east of Stout Hall.
" The site was the location
of the old Nebraska Hall,
r since demolished.
The 1965 Legislature ap-
, propriated $5,200,000 in state
, funds for the building as
part of a long-range build
ing program for the cam
pus. Top priority for the
program is development cf
a science complex at the
- University.
. The grant was announced
jointly by Senators Carl Cur
tis and Roman Hruska.

personified by
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
"Super - super ' interested
in people" was the way
Cathie Shattuck, the semes
ter's student Outstanding
Nebraskan, described her
self. "College shouldn't be just
a four year waiting period,"
Miss Shattuck, ASUN cor
responding secretary and
president of Young Repub
licans, said.
Students are "prone to sit
back and complain a lot
and not do anything about
it and often fail to see any
relationship between what
they're doing here and what
goes on in the state or the
nation," Miss Shattuck add
ed. A senior in political sci
ence and pre-law, Miss
Shattuck, "has been doing
something about it ever
since she set foot on the
campus," one friend re
marked. "I must have signed up
for S3 activities when I was
a freshman!" Miss Shattuck
laughed.
Eventually, Miss Shat
tuck concentrated much of
her energy in student gov
ernment work. She is a
member of the ASUN Stu
dent Tribunal along with
her duties as recording sec
retary and cabinet mem
ber. May Hurt Cause
Miss Shattuck said
"throwing around words
like .Student Bill of Rights
and "Free University" may
be hurting student govern
ment's cause more than
helping it.
She said the very names,
"Student Bill of Rights"
and "Free University" are
getting "a very poor recep
tion and a very poor press
in the state" and this is not
h e 1 p i n g the University's
image particularly when
administrators are asking
for a greatly increased
budget.
The word "free" definite
ly creates a negative im
pression, Miss Shattuck, one
of the founders of the Free
University movement, said.
Citizens, legislators and
government people are apt
to think a free University
refers to tuition-free or
Main
something
Students should "temper
their-actions" in regard to
these concepts "and "think
about the people we're deal
ing with and the type of
state we live in. If it means
working quietly, then do it
and hang the publicity,"
Miss Shattuck added.
"The Student Bill of
Rights is very good and very
nice, but we aren't even
going to have a University
of any caliber if we don't
have the money. Lots of
students don't even grasp
this fact," Miss Shattuck
said.
"Maybe we'd better real
ize we aren't going to have
total education without
money," she added.
Every Phase
Miss Shattuck said the
role of student government
has changed tremendously
since her freshman year.
She said student govern
ment now "reaches into ev
ery phase of student life"
and praised the ASUN book
stores, library, academic
research and faculty fel
lows committees as among
the most worthwhile student
government activities.
The most significant
ASUN activity is the work
of the Legislative Liaison
Committee, Miss Shattuck
said.
Students need to be aware
that they are not accepted
as adults by government
leaders and to work accord
ingly, always creating an
image of responsibility on
their part, Miss Shattuck
said.
In working with the Bill
of Rights and the Free
University, students need
to remember that these are
"things that need to be done
but they don't need to be
blown up like the University
is g o i n g to be another
Berkeley," Miss Shattuck
asserted.
"Our goal should not be
to boycott bookstores or to
picket if you don't get mon
ey, but to be responsible,"
she added.
Miss Shattuck advised
student leaders to be "mod
erate" a n d to be "a politi
cian," ready to compromise
to achieve what the students
morally-free or
worse, she said.

More Than Activity
Another change in stu
dent government still needs
to come, Miss Shattuck said
She said student govern
ment should be considered
"more than an activity."
"A lot of people Involved
in student government are
involved only for glory and
don't have any interest in
students," she added. These
are the people who will only
slow down the work the gov
ernment can do, she said.
Miss Shattuck is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Robert A.' Shattuck of Has
tings. She maintains a 3.0
average and will be gradu
ating in June. Miss Shat
tuck plans to attend the
University School of Law.
The state "has lots and
lots of potential," Miss
Shattuck said. "Someone
who really wants to get
ahead should stay in the
state, it's going to grow." .
Miss Shattuck said she
plans live in the state and
to stay active in Nebraska
politics. She was nation
al committeewoman, mem
bership chairman and vice
president of YR's before
taking over as president.
Miss Shattuck also served
as a page at the national
Republican convention i'.
1964.
Politics "are fascinatinj
and very rough, they
change from day to day
and this causes a real prob
lem," Miss Shattuck said.
"Sometimes you don't even
know who your friends are.
You find yourself working
with people you wouldn't
even speak to politically six
months before," she said.
Led YR Work
Miss Shattuck led the
University YR's in cam
paign work for Gov.-elect
Norbert Tiemann this fall
and was a party worker for
Robert Denney's, successful
campaign.
In the political realm,
"you can't appeal to the
masses with one single
ideology. You have to give
the people what they want."
Miss Shattuck said.
When she started working
in YR's "I didn't really
know what I was getting
into, but I was all gung-

Shattuck said
chuckling.
"A political campaign is
really exciting but there is
a lot of hard work involved
that I didn't realize until I
was to far involved to get
out," she observed.
Miss Shattuck received
four letters of nomination
for Outstanding Nebraskan.
The letters cited her work
in student government and
Young Republicans as well
as her membership in Pi
Sigma Alpha, political sci
ence honorary, and her
work on Builders College
Days Committee and Union
Talks and Topics.
Miss Shattuck is also a
member of Delta Sigma
Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha, na

ing experience with giving
her the basis for all of her
following college activities.
Think On Feet
"Debating gave me the
background and experi.
ence, the ability to meet
people easily and to think
on my feet," Miss Shat
tuck said.
Miss Shattuck said the
greatest change in the cam
pus since her freshman
year is the "Increased feel
ing that I have had that
the administration is inter,
ested in working with stu
dents, this is not the way it
was when I was a fresh
man." The ultimate success of
student government efforts
will hinge on good relations
with administrators," Miss
Shattuck added.
