March 20-24
Filing Period Scheduled
By ASUN For Election
By Randy Irey
Senior Staff Writer
The filing period for the
April 12 ASUN election will
be the week of March 20
through 24 according to Rog
er Doerr, vice president of
ASUN.
Doerr noted that the filing
period was the week prior
to Spring Vacation, with the
ASUN elections scheduled for
the second Wednesday follow
ing vacation.
The specific rules for the
election will be presented by
the electoral commission to
the Student Senate on March
1 for senate approval.
Candidates for the Senate .
and the executive positions
will probably be able to des
ignate their party affiliation
on the ballot if it is listed
on the application, Doerr
stated.
"Having the candidate
state for which party he is
running will encourage politi
cal parties to form and
choose candidates before the
filing deadline," Doerr ex
plained. He said that it is hoped that
such a requirement would
strengthen the political par
ties and enable them to be
more selective in their choice
of candidates.
Also, Doerr noted that there
will be "no listing as a three
man team for the executive
position on the ballot." The

Hell Week Program
Violates IFC Rules
"Hell Week" is a direct violation of Interfraternity Coun
cil (IFC) by-laws, according to IFC President Gene Hohensee.
Hohensee defined Hell Week practices as "any pre-ini-tiation
week program that tears the individual down; any
program that is intended to show just how much a pledge
can take."
"The IFC specifically states in the by-laws to its consti
tution that 'All hazing practices are forbidden at the Univer
sity of Nebraska,' " he said. "It further states that 'Any
fraternity prc-initiation program shall be constructed on a
constructive basis.' "
Pre-intiation activities are now officially supposed to be
Help Week programs, he said, and should not in any way
be "degrading to the individual."
Violation of these restrictions, he said, can result in stiff
penalties for convicted houses:
Conduct probation and publication of violation.
Social probation.
Suspension of pledging privileges.
Suspension of initiation privileges.
A fine up to a maximum of $500.
"Most fraternities realize that these penalties are quite
severe and I would think that the penalties would be enough
to prevent the fraternities from placing themselves in jeopar
dy," Hohensee said.
"But more important than this especially in a time when
the real worth of the fraternity system is being questioned
fraternities should do all they can to make the pledge
training programs of their houses constructive in order to
develop totally educated men."
In its by-laws the IFC bases its definition of hazing on a
statement by the College Fraternity Secretaries Association.
This statement defines hazing as "any action taken or
situation created, whether on or off fraternity premises to
produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, ha
rassment or ridicule."
"We must change in order to survive. All the progress
made in an entire semester of pledge training can be lost
through a digression in a single week Hell Week," he said.
executive candidates will be
able to list their party affilia
tion but they will be voted
on by office and not as a
team.
Officials of both campus
political parties, PACT and
Vox Populi, were contacted
by the Daily Nebraskan in
regard to whether or not they
will select candidates for the
ASUN elections.
Both parties' officials de
clined comment.
In addition to the candi
dates for the senate and the
executive positions, Doerr
noted that the Bill of Rights
will probably be simultane
ously presented to the stu
dents for their approval.
Also on the ballot will be
any constitutional amend
ments placed on the ballot
either by a two-thirds vote
of the senate or by a petition
signed by 5 percent of the
regularly enrolled students of
the University.
Doerr said that there has
been some discussion on the
possibility of a constitutional
amendment concerning the
procedure to be followed in
selecting individuals to as
sume unfilled seats from any
college.
The chances for a primary
election are "pretty much
nil," according to Doerr. This
problem of having two cam
aigns, one for the primary
terested persons so off-campus
.independents will also
have a voice in the final Bill
of Rights.
The Student Conduct Com
mittee began final revisions
of the bill at a meeting Sun
day, Schulze said, and also
"made plans for the assem
bly's format." He added that
he would probably serve as
chairman of the Assembly.
During the assemb'y,
which will continue from
three to four weeks, he said,
"some of these statements
will be completely deleted,
while others will be ex
panded, reworded or com
bined." The final document will
provide "a clearly estab
lished basis from which the
individual student can work,"
he added.
The Bill of Rights must be
presented to the ASUN for
approval by March 15, be
fore the bill can be placed
on the ballot in the ASUN
spring elections.
and one for the general elec
tion, and the dual campaign
expenses to be incurred by
candidates, are factors
against the primary.
"Another consideration
against the primary is the
problem of generating stu
dent enthusiasm for two elec
tions," Doerr continued. "The
question of whether or not a
primary, in which only a
small amount of students
voted, could be valid is anoth
er factor."
Doerr stated that he ex
pected the electoral commis
sion to set a limit on t h e
amount of campaign ex
penses that a candidate can
incur.
"I believe that the electoral
commission will be more
stringent in determining what
constitutes expenses," Doerr
concluded.
Valentine's Day Origin Doubtful;
By Mick Lowe
Junior Staff Writer
Tomorrow, as every coed
knows, is Valentine's day.
While most girls unerringly
remember the date the year
around, few people are aware
of how the ceremony sur
rounding the day began.
There are several theories.
Feb. 14 is traditionally the
day when the two medieval
rnarytrs, St. Valentine, is hon
ored by the Catholic Church.
The choice of date seems
feasible, since millions of
men have been martyring
their wallets on this day ever
since.
Birds Mate
Another myth has it that
Feb. 14 is the day when,
birds in Europe mate. Evi
dently medieval Europeans
decided that the birds set an .
excellent example, and
adopted a similar program
for themselves.
It may be a simple and
pleasant day for birds, but it
is far more expensive for the
average American male.
A quick survey of down
town Lincoln revealed that
most students can (and do)
effortlessly demolish a $10
bill in an effort to express
admiration.
$6-7 Spent
Robert Danielson of Dan
ielson's Floral Co. said that
the average University stu
dent spends six or seven dol
lars for flowers alone.
Extravagance is not un
common, however, and Dan
ielson recalled one young
man some years ago who
spent $50 on a Valentine flor
al arrangement.

Tiemann Discusses Tuition
With Four Campus Leaders
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
Four student government
leaders who conferred Fri
day with Gov. Norbert Tie
mann came away with the
impression that the governor
will definitely recommend a
tuition hike, possibly up $25
a semester.
University
Hearing Delayed
The committee public hear
ing on the University's budg
et requests may be delayed
one week.
Gov. Norbert Tiemann Sat
urday asked the Legilature's
Budget Committee to delay
the hearings, originally set
for Tuesday and Wednesday,
of this week.
Tiemann want the delay to
allow him time to compile his
recommendations on the bud
get for the 1967-69 biennium
and a possible tuition increase.
The Committee has not
answered the governor.
Meanwhile, a hearing on
LB440, a. bill to give the Un
iversity a supplemental ap
propriation, had been sched
uled for Wednesday at 2 p.m.
before the Budget Committee.
The University has asked
for a $569,612 supplemental ap

Gift Giving
To return to the history
of the celebration Valen
tine's Day gift giving appar
ently began in the 19th cen
tury. It all seemed fairly harm
less until the 1920's, when 12
gangsters were heartlessly
presented with an unwelcome
gift in a Chicago garage.
Their murder is known to this
day as the St. Valentine's
Day massacre.
While the tradition may be
sordid, and even a bit risque,
it is certainly a bright spot
on the calendar for Lincoln
businessmen.
Favorite Holiday
"It's one of our favorite
holidays," smiled Danielson.
Small wonder, since Daniel
son is forced to hire extra
help for this week's rush. And
a large part of that rush
comes from University stu
dents, according to Daniel
son. Other businesses refuse to
be left out of the Valentine's
Day picture. No matter what
you sell, the system goes,
paint it pink or red, and it
will sell like white sheets at
a Klan rally.
Every year business in
creases over the previous
year on Valentine's Day.
Which proves, perhaps, that
more and more Americans
are falling in love with each
other each year or spend
like they do.
The students said, how
ever, that they also feel Tie

Legislature appropriate a
"healthy" increase in Uni

At a Friday morning press
conference, the governor
chided the State Normal
Board for not tailoring their
budget requests to his recom
mendations. "Their requests are unbusi
nesslike, unrealistic and the
people of Nebraska won't ac
cept them." Tiemann said of
the requests of the four state
college, Chadron, Kearney,
Wayne and Peru.
"I hope the Board and Re
gents and the University will
accept out recommendations,
Tiemann added.
The governor said his rec
ommendations on the Univer

for a week.

"WOODCARVING CLASS" outside work being done carefully in preparation
for Valentine's Day. Ken Rownd professes undying devotion to a certain coed in keep
ing with the famous tradition.
Marv Almy and Curt Bromm
spent about 30 minutes with
the chief executive, Schaaf
said.
Tiemann had asked the
students to visit him to sound
out their feelings about the
University's dollar situation
and to ask them what priori
ties students would place on
the items in the University's
$98.6 million operational
budget request.
Tuition Increase
Tiemann "did not make it
exactly clear that there will
be a recommendation for a
tuition increase," Schaaf
said.
He added that the impres
sion he gained was that the
governor will recommend a
tuition hike of $25 or $.10 a
semester.
Almy said a basic point the
students tried to make with
Tiemann was that if there is
a tuition increase, more funds
should correspondingly be
spent on student instruction.
"Instead of paying more
and getting less" as hap
pened when University tui
tion went up two years ago.
"we want to pay more and
get more," Almy said.
The governor was particu
larly interested in sounding
out the students on what type
of budgetary increase would
justify a tuition increase,
Schaaf said.
Senate Resolution
Tiemann referred to a Stu
dent Senate resolution which
called for a significant budg
et increase if there were to
be a tuition hike.
Almy said Tiemann was
also interested in finding out

To Be Continued

Two things accounted for

First, the Talks and Top

the weekly session, has not
had an opportunity to meet.
Second, the first Hyde

interest in it." Scott point

what the students felt were
priority items in the budget.
"He wanted us to establish
a priority list and we
wouldn't. This is not some
thing that you can place a
one, two, three on," Almy
said.
The students are interested
in overall educational excel
lence and this is not deter
mined by isolated factors so
that factors cannot be rated
by importance, Almy said.
Budget Increase
While Tiemann talked
around tuition costs, he also
indicated that he plans to
recommend "increases in the
University's budget," Schaaf
said.
Tiemann was talking about
"50 to 60 percent increases"
in the operational budget,
Schaaf said.
The University has asked
for a 91.48 percent increase
in the operational budget.
Tiemann recommended a 53
percent increase in the budg
ets for our state colleges
while the school's had asked
for a 100 percent increase.
The students reported that
Tiemann had "reiterrated"
all of his earlier arguments
about the state budgets, in
cluding that a catch-up can
not come in one biennium.
The University's budget is
designed as a catch-up budg
et. Almy said Tiemann also
expressed concern that the
University go along with his
aims and "tailor" their budg
et request before the Legis
lature to his recommenda
tions. Normal Schools Budget
Schaaf said Tiemann ex
pressed disappointment that
the state Normal Board had
chosen to go before the Leg
islature Budget Committee
with their original budgets
and had ignored his recom
mendations. Almy said Tiemann "whose
philosophy" behind state
budgets seems to be that the
University and the governor
"have to go to the Legisla
ture together."
Schaaf said the chief ex
ecutive has taken a "we will
fight together for the Univer
sity's budget" attitude.
the students said Tiemann
was "very sympathetic" with
the University. "He is prob
ably the strongest supporter
we have in state govern
ment," Almy said.
"He agrees with us that
the University of Nebraska
has got to be improved,"
Almy said.
