'Waiting,'
'Scapin' In
Repertoire
The Howell Memorial
Theatre's repertoire for this
semester include "Scapin" by
Moliere and "Waiting for Go
dot" by Samuel Becket, ac
cording to Susan Granata,
public relations charman.
"Scapin" Is a play of mis
taken Identity in which young
lovers accidentally fall in love
with and marry the girls their
fathers had wished them to
marry while the fathers are
out of the country.
The University Theatre is
doing this play in the corn
media del arte style, Miss
Granata said.
Commedy of this sort is
slap-slick and physical. "We
are trying to develop every
character into a caricature,
almost like a cartoon," she
commented.
The most important thing
about this play is the w a y in
which it is done rather than
the story, she added.
"Scapin" will be presented
March 3. 4, 17 and 18; April
21 and 22; and May 5 and 6.
The director is Steven
Cole. Characters and cast
include: Scapin, Jim Baffico;
Octavis, Bill Lacey; Leander,
John Jessup; Argante, J i m
Sellmeyer; Geronte, Al Lund
by; Sylverster, Bob Prenosil;
Carol, Kirk Johnson; Cerbi
netta, Pat Brott; Hyacintha,
Susan Granata; Nerina, Pam
Schaap.
"Waiting for Godot" is a
tragi-comedy with very littie
plot, according to Miss Gra
nata. It concerns two tramps who
are waiting for Godot
throughout the play. The pur
pose of the play is to s h o w
people caught tip in a routine .
way of life and to show that
their whole lives are bits
and gimmicks to avoid this
routine, she commented.
Godot is a being who is
sometimes said to represent
God or the purpose of life..
The over-all effect is that of
a nightmare, Miss Granata
added.
The play is directed by Dr.
William R. Morgan. Members
of the cast include: Estragon
(Gogo), David Clark; Vlad
imir (Didi), Clint Jakeman;
Pozzo, Steve Gaine; Lucky,
Gary Hill; Boy, Dan Wy
mouta. "Waiting for Godot" will be
presented March 10 and 11;
April 14, 15, 28 and 29; and
May 12-13.

Ross: Proposed Coed
By Mark Gordon
Junior Staff Writer
The committee to establish
coed visiting hours in Univer
sity residence halls has not
officially contacted the fac
ulty committee on student af
fairs, according to G. Robert
Ross, dean of student
affairs.
"As chairman of the faculty
committee, no one has con
tacted me about a meeting
with the committee," said
Ross.
He said that the faculty
committee has just had a se
ries of three meetings with
the ASUN conduct committee
and is "open to talk to a n y
group of students who asks
for a meeting."
The committee to establish
the hours, composed of chair
man Dave Shonka, Abel Hall
residence directors Richard
Arndt and Hob Muschewske
and Abel residents Norm
Mattson, Wayne Morton and
Ron Schneider is preparing a
brief of the c a s e for the fac
ulty sub-committee and it will
be read within a week, said
Shonka.
Ross said that "as I under
stand it, we have got a sys
tem for bringing guests into
the residence halls and I
think we have felt that
the system has worked well."
The committee is talking
about an extension of the
open house system on a reg
ular basis and I've indicated
before that there are prob
lems in doing that, he said.

Big Crowd Hears
I First Hyde Park I
By Jim Evingcr
Junior Staff Writer
William Steen, owner of the
Heroic Bookstore, was ill and
did not make an expected ap
pearance at a crowded first
Hyde Park. MichaeJ Pryor,
Heroic employee and former
University student, read a
statement by Steen, and with
Steve Boyd, another employ
ee and University student, an
swered audience questions.
Both presented their views
regarding censorship, morals
and obscenity.
The statement by Steen
said he is opposed to any li
terary censorship but does
conscientiously follow the Con
stitution; and he feels the Ne
braska statute regarding ad
vertising and selling of ob
scene literature, under which
Steen is charged with violat
ing, is inconsistent with the
Constitution.
Boyd thought that maybe
one reason why Steen is ap
parently being singled out for
prosecution when other stores
in Lincoln sell a number of
books that Steen does, is be
cause of the Heroic's low
overhead.
The Heroic was undersell
ing and would have eventual
Gov. Tiemann To Speak
To Scholarship Winners
The 100 four-year Regents
scholarshsip winners from
Nebraska and their parents
will attend a Regents Schol

the University of Nebraska
Center.
Guest speaker, Governor
Norbert Tiemann, will ad
dress the winners and par
ents at a luncheon.
Dr. G. Robert Ross, vice
chancellor and dean of stu
dents, will preside at a
reception at 6:30 a.m.
Dr. Mark Hobson. vice
chancellor and dean of facul
ties, will speak on "Quality
at the University." A discus

istrative assistant to the vice
chancellor for student affairs,
and Helen Snyder, associate
dean of student affairs, their
proposal was turned down
and the committee was asked
to revise their original pro
posal. Ross said that in o u r so
ciety it's not common to enter
tain guests in bedrooms and
the rooms are places where
residents sleep."
"I'm not saying you don't
do other things in the rooms
such as study but they are
bedrooms as such."
Shonka said that the coed
visiting hours evolved out of
a need to prcvide students
with an atmosphere which
"In residence halls, in the
Union and in the library, or
any other common place on
the University campus, there
is nowhere that young people
can get together informally,"
he said.
The committee has limited
its request to having the
hours only once a week with
the decision of whether the
hours would actually be
scheduled left to the discre
tion of individual dormitories.
Shonka said the plan would
be on a trial for about one
month with the following re
strictions in operation:
A superviser, not necessar
ily a student assistant would
be present. A 'responsible
individual could substitute for
the student assistant.
Doors to the individual
rooms must remain open if
guests are being entertained
in the rooms.
Shonka said the committee
ly been outselling all other
competitors, Boyd said.
"Porn (pornography) is the
backbone of his (Steen's) busi
ness," Boyd said. He esti
mated that between a $100
and $150 worth of "porn" is
sold daily by the Heroic.
ASUN Associate Bill Cha
loupka announced that begin
ning next week a letter-writing
campaign to the state leg
islature will be promoted by
the Associates.
Students will be urged to
write their senator reouesting
passage of the University
budget as presented to the
senate.
Chaloupka said that the As
sociates believe direct per
sonal letters would be more
effective than any petition, as
one audience member sug
gested. Al Spangler, SDS president,
spoke, saying that the com
ments Helen Snyder, assis
tant dean of Student Affairs,
made about the Bill of Rights
in Thursday's Daily Nebras
kan, indicated that she didn't
understand its goals.
Spangler urged all affected
by the proposed bill to attend
the upcoming Bill of Rights
assemblies.
speak on "What Is a College
Teacher?"
The scholars and their par
ents will attend a series of
informal group meetings with
professors representing agri
culture, business administra
tion, engineering and archi
tecture, teachers, political
science, anthropology, jour
nalism, mathematics, phys
ics, chemistry, medical tech
nology and pre-medicine.
Hardin will preside at the
luncheon featuring the ad
dress by Tiemann and a talk
by Jon Burchiil, University
senior from Canada who just
received a Rhodes Scholar
ship to Oxford University
next fall.
The Madrigal Singers will
present selections under the
direction of John Moran, as
sociate professor of music
education.
Visits Are Problem
is basing their proposal on
the following arguments:
Individual rooms and floor
lounges are more conducive
to group studying than are
the ground floor lounge areas
which are usually distractive.
Floor lounges and individ
ual rooms provide an atmos
phere like that of a living
room.
With the present open
houses, the policy of coed vis
iting hours is essentially in
effect now.
The individual room is the
resident's home and he
should be able to entertain
guests as he would in a reg
ular home.
In short, we want to create
a situation which mature in
dividuals can socialize in
formally," he said.
"The residence hall is to
play an intricate part in the
social and educational devel
opment of the residents," he
said, "it does -more than just
give room and board."
Students generally tend to
agree with Shonka and the
committee that the coed visit
ing hours are needed.
Craig Gilpin, Abel Hall
junior, said "the coed visit
ing hours should be given
since the dorm is your home
at college and it should be
like your usual home where
you are allowed to entertain
guests."
Dennis Schulze, Abel stu
dent assistant, said "They
definitely should be allowed.
I feel that residents are
adults and they should be
treated like adults. The meas
ure would also help reduce
the gap between us and the
First Assembly For Rights Bill
To Deal With Revised Articles

Discussion of four revised
articles will be the main busi

Ross: Rights Assembly
To Add
The benefit of Sunday's
Bill of Rights assembly will
be the additional views and
understanding which will
hopefully be generated,
stated G. Robert Ross, vice
chancellor and dean of stu
dent affairs.
Ross said that he believes
the participating students
will gain additional under
standing into what the Bill
of Rights involves, while at
the same time the final
draft of the Bill of Rights
will probably contain the
opinions of a broader group
of students.
Ross said there are no
meetings scheduled be
tween the Student Conduct
Committee and the Faculty
Senate Committee on Stu
dent Affairs, of which he
is chairman.
"I fee 1, however, that
somewhere in the process
of developing the final draft
of the Bill of Rights, the
two committees will get
back together," Ross ex
plained. The meetings between the
two committees, which have
already been held, benefited

Jolene Kilzer, Sandoz fresh

the coed visiting hours by
saying "It's an inconvenience
to have guys' on the floor espe

Conduct Committee has done
on the bill since September.
He said he will "establish
that the University is actual
ly acting in loco parentis, al
though it denies doing so."
He will also discuss the Re
gents' duties and establish
that they "have legal power
and authority to completely
regulate students' lives but
they are not forced to assume
the role of parents."
Student senators will read
the articles to be presented
on the floor and explain the
reasoning behind the writing
of the statements.
The articles "will probably
invoke debate,'" Schulze said,
and the floor will be open to
questions, rebuttals and pro
posals from the delegates.
When debate on the issues
has ended, 'a straw vote will
be taken from the Assembly
members.

that "they gained some
knowledge as to what the
Conduct committee was at
tempting to accomplish in
regard to a Bill of Rights,"
he said.
"I feel that the Conduct
Committee gained some
feed-back from the faculty
and staff of the University
regarding their ideas on
the first statement of the
Bill of Rights."

14 of 20 Representatives Contacted
Support Student Bill of Rights Idea
Of the 20 representatives to
Sunday's Bill of Rights as
sembly contacted by the Dai
ly Nebraskan, 14 said that
they were in favor of the con
cept of the bill as it present
ly is, four were against it,
and two had no comment.
Judy Mahar, who will rep
resent Gamma Phi Beta so
rority, said that she was ba
sically for the Bill of Rights.
She said that she felt that
the bill "is a necessity right
now. It doesn't have to cover
a specific problem, but is a
foundation for other changes
students might want to make
at the University."
Belief in the necessity of an
outline that students could
follow that would be accept
able in the "eyes of admini
stration" is the basis on which

Schulze said, although the

committees.
"The purpose of the meet
ings was not to resolve any
conflict between the ASUN
committee and the Faculty
Senate committee," he said.
"Rather, the meetings
were to get individual reac
tions, not a consensus. A
variety of opinions were ex
pressed, but the meetings
were not intended to result
in total agreement," Ross
concluded.
"I support the bill of rights
because it would help the
women students," stated Barb
Holmes. S e 1 1 e c k, "and it
would define the position of
the woman student better."
Susan Sitorius. Alpha Delta
Pi sorority, said that she is
presently opposed to the Bill
of Rights because it "is a
cause."
"I think it is necessary to
make it more than a cause.
It should be more concrete.
Too many people are pushing
it because of one aspect, they
either don't understand it in
its entirity or don't care about
the other aspects of it."

be discussed by the Assembly.
Article 7, which states stu
dents should determine who
will have access to their acad
emic and non-academic rec
ords, will also be brought be
fore the Assembly representa
tives. Delegates will determine if
records are students' proper
ty and talk about draft board
requests for student records,
Schulze added.
The elimination of social
probation and University re
quirements for extracurricu
lar activities, which is infer
red in Article 11, will also be
debated by the Assembly.
Article 11 states that stu
dents have the right to "par
ticipate in student activities
of the University of Nebras
ka." Schulze 'said that during
the four Assembly sessions,
the original draft of the Bill
of Rights 'will "probably be
reduced to half the number
of articles it now contains."
At present there are 19 arti
cles to the bill.
He added some articles will
be deleted and others will be
combined.
A shift of emphasis in the
bill will take place, he said,
and "specific articles will
probably evolve into a more
general statement of princi
ples which should guide and
direct the academic atmos
phere." Schulze explained that if
the Bill of Rights is passed
by the students, it will not
automatically become effec
tive. Each article "will have to
be implemented one at a time
as test cases in the courts,"
he added.

studied the bill through my

In regard to what the rep

corrected, Karen Wendt, Al

agreed with Dean Helen Sny
der in that there are several
loop-hole's in the bill as it
presently stands.
"The bill needs to be dis
cussed, as the ideas are good,
but the problems do need to
be ironed out," she explained.
Bob Hill, representing Abel
Hall, recommended a change
in section two which concerns
a general statement of student
rights. He believes that the
rights of the student should
be listed in the bill.
"I believe that the general
concepts and ideas behind the
Bill of Rights are correct,"
said Bob Beckman. Phi Gam

Law Prof Authors
14-Volume Work
A professor at the Univer
sity College of Law has au
thored a 14-volume work
entitled "Modern Legal
Forms."
Prof. Edmund O. Bel
sheim started the project
in 1955. The first two vol
umes came off the press in
1957 and have been appear
ing regularly since. The last
two volumes were pub
lished recently.
Belsheim, former Law
College dean, said the work
is designed to serve the pro
fessional needs of lawyers
in general practice.
The work is a collection
of legal forms, with explan
atory comments "to give the
lawyer some background In
respect to the forms."
