NFU Starts Classes
With 631 Students
By Cheryl Tritt
Senior Staff Writer
The Nebraska Free Uni
versity began class sessions
this week with an enrollment
of 631 students.
"Toward a General Theory
of Material Culture," con
ducted by Richard A. Krause,
held the first class Monday
and nine other courses held
classes Tuesday, according to
Gene Pokorny, member of the
Coordinating Committee for a
Free University.
Three courses were dropped
from the curriculum Pokorny
said due to "lack of support."
The course included the dis
cussion groups to have been
led by Dr. John Davidson and
Dr. William Torrence, and the
seminar, "Scientific Investi
gation in the Social Sciences."
Of the 23 NFU courses now
offered, "Human Reporduc
tion," sponosred by Theta Nu
medical honorary has the
largest enrollment with 77
students.
"Psychical Research, con
ducted by George Rejda has
74 students enrolled and
"Film Techniques," sponsored
by the Nebraska Union Film
Committee, has 56 students
enrolled.
He said the enrollment fig
ures "indicate University stu
dents feel the concept of NFU
is valid." He added "it is im
portant that NFU students
Majority Want Change
In Selective Service System
By Roger Boye
Junior Staff Writer
A sizable majority of Uni
versity males feel that the
Selective Service System
needs changing according to
a survey taken by the Daily
Nebraskan.
Of the 50 students polled,
nearly 70 per cent said the
system is unfair and needs
changing. This is about the
same as a sampling taken by
the United Press International
at 23 schools from coast to
coast.
"The methods of granting
deferments needs changing
the way it is set up now is
extremely unfair," said one
student
"In my opinion," he con
tinued, "everyone should be
drafted for at least two years
in the service. This should be
done right after high school
graduation. Then a college
education would really be ap
preciated." Another student disagreed.
"If high school graduates are
drafted, then they could have
serious problems of adjusting
to society when they get out
of the service."
Only 70 per cent of those
polled felt a draft was justi
fied. This compared to a na
tional average of over 90 per
cent. Some 60 percent pre
ferred non-military alterna
tives such as the Peace Corps.
This was 10 below the na
tional average.
About 55 percent agreed
with the automatic student de
ferment classification (II-S).
Only 40 per cent agreed on a
national level. Some 65 per
cent felt good class work
should be a basis for defer
sJJ
maintain interest in the
courses because these s t u
dents are the ones who must
revise and continue the Un
iversity in future years."
The CCFU is now organiz
ing a program co-sponsored
by the YMCA, which will be
based on a series of tape
recordings entitled "M a n's
Role in Tomorrow's World."
Pokorny said the tapes will
cover a general topic of the
nature of society and man's
adjustment to his changing
environment.
The program will be held
for six to eight weeks begin
ning the first part of March.

Tuition Is Due Monday
Second semester tuition statements have been mailed
and must be paid before 5 p.m. Monday to avoid a $10
late fee.
i Any student who does not receive a tuition statement
at his Lincoln or commuting address by Wednesday should
report immediately to the Bursar's Office in the Adminis-
tration Building. Failure to receive a statement is not a
s valid excuse for not paying tuition before the deadline.
James Wickless, bursar, said it is each student's re- f
sponsibility to make sure that the payment is in the
Bursar's Office before 5 p.m. Monday. Any payment re-
ceived by mail or otherwise after 5 p.m. Monday will
be considered late and a $10 late fee will be assessed.
Any student who does not pay tuition plus the $10 late f
fee by Feb. 27 will be referred to Dean of Student Affairs.

ment. This
question was
about equally
divided in the
national poll.
Other comments of those in
terviewed: "They haven't got me yet
so I am for it."
"Basing deferments on
grades is really bad. There is
no mercy for those students
who really try hard and don't
get all the A's and B's.
"Some students participate
in many extracurricular ac
tivities and may not have a
high' grade average but are
drafted."
"I think everyone should be
put on an equal basis. They
should do away with this dis
honest system where some
sports stars, who make over
$400,000 a year, receive a de
ferment for 'poor knees.' "
"I think the draft should be
extended to girls. After all,
they could do the office work.
They are always yelling for
equal rights in everything
else why not the draft?"
"The thing that gets me is
the way the draft takes those
in really poor financial con
dition. I know a person in
central Nebraska who runs
his parent's farm. His father
is disabled, and now that he's
been drafted, the farm will
be lost. It just isn't fair."
"It- sure does need chang
ing, but I wouldn't kfiOw how
to do it. Those drafted, how
ever, can almost choose the
specific field they would like
to enter if they are 'good
enough.' In this sense, there
is already a non-military pro
gram in the armed forces."
Most students felt the draft
was justified. "A country has

Abel-Sandoz Rink Needs
By Mark Gordon
Junior Staff Writer
Lack of below freezing
temperatures is the sole fac
tor hindering the opening of
the Abel-Sandoz ice skating
rink, according to Paul Jer
ome Canarsky, Abel Hall
intramural director.
The ice skating rink, lo
cated south of the food serv
ice building between the two
residence halls, has been
installed within the last
weeks, Canarsky said.
He estimated t h e ice skat
ing surface would be approx
imately 50' by 65' if and when
the water freezes.
"The Ice skating rink was
put in so the residents would
have a convenient place to
skate," be said
The rink was actually an
alternative, suggested by
Richard Scott, assistant dean
of student affairs, to a reso
lution approved by A b e 1
Sandoz residents requesting
the University to fulfill an or
iginal plan made several
months ago.
The original plan called for
recreational facilities behind

area for tennis games and a

Junior Staff Writer
A mod Irma la Douce, a discotheque-bar

are all part of an updated ver

an ice skating rink during
the winter months, he said.
"The University had diffi
culty initiating the proposal
so Scott suggested a tempor
ary skating rink this winter,"
Canarsky said.
The Abel Residence Associ
ation appropriated $96 for a
plastic base, which had to be
ordered from RAVEN Indus
tries of Sioux Falls, S.D.
The plastic covering ar
rived late, causing a delay in
the rink's construction, which
has irritated several resi
dents. ,
Gale Mettenbrink, Abel
freshman, said. "With spring
coming on, I don't see much
use for it now, because the
weather is warming up. This
should have been put in three
months ago."
Kris Cox, Sandoz freshman,
called the rink " a good idea
because there isn't enough co
ed activity between Abel and
Sandoz but I hope it will be
put in sooner next year."
Canarsky, aided in the pro
ject by Abel North residence
director Bob Muschewske,
concluded, "cold weather

When the Legislature's ses

senators agreed to co-sponsor
the bill and it was filed
with Legislative Clerk Hugo
Srb. Then it was given a num

the First Reading.
LB132 had become an en

were printed for regular mail

made for distribution to sen

it.
The bill was referred to a

A public hearing followed and
the committee reported the

"May 1 and 2 have been
chosen for these Masters to
be on campus," Miss McCly
mont said. The highlight of
the two-day program will be
the honors convocation to be
held May 2.
The prime contact between
the alumni and the students
will be when the masters vi
sit various living units for
meals. Each living unit will
be visited by at least one
master in order that students
might become acquainted with
one of the individuals, she ex
plained. Miss McClymont stated
that she was very pleased on
the response by those mas
ters attending. "We sent out
seventeen letters and from
those, we obtained eleven ac
ceptances." "This outstanding response
could be partially explained
by the fact that we started
working on the program last
summer," she said.
She asked that any living
unit, with a preference of
masters whom they wish to
visit with them, to contact
her.
