Sampling Shoivs . . .
Many Are
Requiring
By Eileen Wirlh
News Assistant
A sampling of women
students indicates many
are unhappy over a Univer
sity rule requiring all wom
en students to live in on
campus housing.
Georgia Hiner said she
and three of her friends
plan to live off campus
next year regardless of
what the University says.
"I won't live on campus
and I won't quit school. I
will take it to court if nec
essary. I think I have the
grounds for it," she stated.
Miss Hiner noted that she
is over 21 and has her par
ents' permission to live off
campus. "I have worked away
from home at Estes Park
for two months and I don't
see how the University,
which knows me only as a
number, would know me
better than my parents who
are willing to trust me with
U.S. Senator Proposes
Measure Cutting Taxes
A congressional bill to
provide income tax credit
of up to $325 for college
students and their parents
was introduced in the Sen
ate by Sen. Abraham Ribi
coff (D-Conn.).
The bill, co-sponsored by
46 senators including Ne
braska's Carl Curtis and
Roman Hruska, is opposed
by several major education
al associations according to
the Collegiate Press Ser
vice. Opposition groups include
the National Association of
State Universities and Land
grant Colleges and the As
sociation of State Colleges
and Universities.
Ribicoff's measure would
allow a 75 per cent income
tax credit on the first $200
of tuition, fees, books and
supplies. Thus, if a person
paid $200 tuition, $150 could
be deducted from the in
dividual's net income tax
bill.
The next $300 would be
lessened by a 25 per cent
credit, allowing another $75
in deductions, while a 10
per cent credit would be
provided on the following
$1,000.
Although the senator has
introduced such a bill sev
eral times in past sessions,
this is the first time it has
given coverage to students
in accredited p o s t-secon-dary
business, trade, tech
nical and vocational
schools.
Ribicoff claimed that ov
er two-thirds of the bene
fits of this bill would go
to families earning less
than $1,000, but opponents
of the bill note that fami
lies with several children,
earning $5,000. would not
gain from the bill since
they pay no income tax.
Opponents argue that
those who need It most will
gain the least from Ribi
coff's measure. In addition,
they suggest that the tax
credit could be used as a
way of bypassing the Con
stitutional provisions
against use of public funds
for discriminatory pur
poses. Last session's tax credit
bill was defeated in the

She said she would like
to have Helen Snyder, as

fairs, and other administra

the real reasons for keep

"If they refuse to face a
board of dorm dwellers the
only assumption we can
draw is that they don't have
salient reasons for keeping
us on campus," she com
mented. Carol Stahr, a 21 year
old junior, said she didn't
feel the University could
make women live in dorins
"because we pay and it's
our privilege to live where

Final AWS
f rimarv Jiiecuon Is
One hundred University
women have applied for
AWS Board positions. Fil
ing for election on the dead
line date, Feb. 20 were 87
women.
These women are to meet
at 2 p.m. Sunday in t h e
Nebr. Union to discuss
election procedure.
A primary to be held
March 1 will cut the
number of candidates to 50.
New applicants for the of
fice of president were Mar
tha Hughes, Elaine Kallos,
Susie Sitorius, and Ann
Marie Windle.
Miss Hughes is currently
on the AWS Board, served
as a delegate to the region
al AWS convention and is
the Coed Follies ticket as

the AWS workers. She also
serves as orientations
chairman and is on the sen
ior key committee. She is

ASUN centennial chair

"With parental permis
sion I can see how women
could live off-campus, but
there is a great deal con
nected with choosing a liv
ing environment," she said.
"If the University has
the responsibility to pro
vide dormitory space then
they have a financial re
sponsibility to fill them or
they are going to be in fi
nancial trouble," Miss Rose
continued.
Margo McMaster said
she thinks "there should be
a minimum housing code."
However, more equal treat
ment of men and women
with regard to housing
would provide some justifi
cation for the present sys
tem. Laura Partsch, a fresh
man, commented that "If
Dean Snyder doesn't think
we're old enough to take
care of ourselves it's too
late and there's nothing she
or anyone else can do about
it."
Nesha Neumeistcr said
she thinks it's "a little ri
diculous" for 21 year old
women to still have to "be
cooped up in a dorm and
come in at 11 p.m."
"I think all freshmen
should be required to live
in the dorms but people
over 21 are legally adults
who can own property,
drink and vote. They should
be allowed to live where
they choose," she added.
"I think it is definitely
very wrong to force women
to live on-campus," Kris

"I can see what they
mean when they say it's
part of a person's educa
tional experience but I
don't think this should be
the only experience they
should be allowed to
choose," she continued.
Lynn Stingley said she
doesn't approve of going di
rectly against administra
tion and "criticizing Dean
Snyder so forcefully."
Betsy Fenimore criticized
the University for attempt
int to become "pseudo-parents."

Article 5 Of Rights Bill
Favored In Dorm Poll
By Mark Gordon
" Junior Staff Writer
Dormitory residents
polled by the Daily Nebras
kan unanimiously favored
by a vote of 35-0 Article 5
of the Student Bill of
Rights Assembly.
The article states each
' student can choose his own
living establishment with
out University regulation.
Students, however, under 21
are still under parental con
trol when selecting an en
vironment. Students cited financial
obligations, individual re
sponsibility and freedom of
choice as the main reasons
for the support of the p r o
posed measure.
While agreeing with the
bill, many students felt that
although upperclass
men should be permitted to
reside where they please,
students would benefit from
dormitory living for at least
their freshmen year.
Larry Donat, Selleck
graduate assistant, said
that with the exception of
freshmen, upperclass s t u
dents "should have enough
strength to stand on t h e i r
own two feet and since
many support their own
way through school" they
should be allowed to 1 i v e
where they choose.
Ronald Kent, C a t h e r
sophomore, agreed by say
ing "After you have been
here a year, you can accept
responsibility and you are
mature enough so you can
decide where you want to
live. We don't need the ad
ministration to act as o u r
parents."
Financial difficul
ties were expressed by
many as the chief obstacle
for students living in t h e
residence halls.
Carol Klauschie, Sandoz
freshman, explained,
"I come from a family of
eight kids and my sister is
coming here next year and
our family isn't so well off
that we can affort to p a y
$1,600 for room and board
when off campus we can
get by for maybe half
that amount."
Helen Snyder, associate
dean of students, was crit
icized for her stand on dor
mitory life as an essential
part of a student's educa
tion by Sam Bonofede, Abel
sophomore.
"I feel a student has the
right to choose where he
wants to live because he is
here to get an education
and h i s financial status
may not permit him to live
in the exorbitant life of a
dorm that Helen Snyder
visions as a Utopia."

freshman, said that living off

"Why make persons drop
out of school to pay for
something they don't want
to live in," commented
Sally Lucas, Pound junior.
Most students felt that
college students are re
sponsible enough to m a k e
accurate decisions on suit

tions. Dorothy Heitmann, Pound
junior, s a i d it is t h e stu
dent's privilege to pick the
place they want to live as
"If you are old enough to
to college then you are ma
ture enough to do your
studying at a place that
suits you best."
Allan Harms, Cather sen
ior, added that a student's
total education would not be
hampered by choosing
where he wants to live, and
"someone who didn't go to
college can choose of h i s
own volition where he wants
to live. I don't believe col

Super Plus Board
Used In Colorado
(CPS) In an attempt to
coordinate all education in
Colorado, the state Board
of Vocational Education
last week proposed the cre

The proposed board
would supervise the work
of three existing super
boards which now operate
at the state level.
The three super-boards,
which include the Board of
Vocational Education, the
State Board of Education,
and the Commission on
Higher Education, now han

ities in higher, secondary,
and elementary education,
the veterans approval agen

The proposal was made
in order to comply with a

a reduction in the number
of state departments.

option should be left to the
student as "this is the first
time many have been away

set standards for them,

freshman, said "if the par
ents don't think the apart

won't allow their child to
live there, anyway. I think
the so-called approved co
ed housing is a farce."

men "shall be required" to
live in approved University
housing and men "may be

"They say group living is
essential so why don't boys
have to live in dorms?"
"I feel it's discrimination
and we don't benefit from

added.

why girls can't live in

that they can't make excep
