Convention To Examine I
Structure Of

Junior Staff Writer
Nancy Coufal, AWS Sopho
more Board member, has
been appointed Chairman of
the Constitution Convention.
The appointment was made
by AWS President Pam
Hedgecock on Tuesday.
The purpose of the conven
tion, according to Miss Couf
al, is "to define the role and
structure of AWS on the Uni
versity campus, as it is now
unclear."
Due to the rapid changes
occurring on the campus and
In AWS itself, the structure
of AWS Is not quite as work
able as it should be, she add
ed. The convention hopes to
determine the structure of
AWS for the future, and t h e
organization's relationship to
the administration, students
and ASUN.
Miss Coufal believes that
there is a tendency in an or
ganization to maintain t h e
status quo. A definite co-operative
approach, entailing
the interests of the students,
the University, and Lincoln is
needed in re-examining the
policy of the Board of Re
gents, she added.
In her role as Constitution
Chairman, Miss Coufal plans
to approach the administra
tion "with the Idea that they
are reasonable people with
the best interests of the Uni
versity at heart."
Miss Coufal went on to state
that she believes Helen Sny
der, associate dean of s t u
dent affairs, to be "reason
able" and the "policies she
supports are the policies
made by the Board of Re
gents." The AWS Board, as it now
stands, is a combination of
the executive, judicial and
legislative branches.
The AWS Representatives
' from the various living areas
act as an advisory body.
The convention delegates
will examine this present sys
tem, and determine if more
power should be. granted to
the representatives. If they
become more powerful, "the
board will not function in the
same capacities as it d o e s
now," Miss Coufal stated.
According to Miss Coufal,
AWS is not a student organi
zation nor is it an arm of the
administration it is a com
bination of the two. The Con
v e n t i o n will determine
whether or not this will be the
future status of AWS.
The power AWS derives
from the administration can
not be challenged by ASUN,
she stated.
"The function of AWS Is
that of representing the worn-

Last Day
For Drops
Friday is the last day on
which students may drop
courses with no mention of
the course appearing on their
permanent record, according
to Mrs. Irma Laase, assistant
registrar.
To drop a course a student
gets a Drop and Add form
from the Admlnlstra
tion Building, fills it out, and
has it signed by his adviser.
If he is in Business Admin
tration, Graduate College or
in Teachers Advanced Pro
fessional he must have the
form signed by the dean of
the college.
After the form is signed he
pays a $2.50 fee at the Cash
ier's office in the Administra
tion Building. There are some
cases where the fee might be
waived if the Administration
has made an error, Mrs.
Laase said.
The student then leaves his
Drop and Add form at t h e
Information Window, Win
dow II, and fills out a drop
slip. The registrar's office
sends the drop slip to the de
partment. Mrs. Laase noted that about
100 students a day have drop
ped courses during the past
week. She added that as
many as 300 might be ex
pected to drop on the last day.

stated.
The Board has declared
that AWS can administer to
the women students more
effectively than can ASUN,
she added.

Miss Coufal, choosing dele

Vote Set
By Mark Gordon
Junior Staff Writer
After unanimously approv
ing the formation of the Inter
Dormitory Association (IDA)
Tuesday, nine University res
idence halls will vote Thurs
day on the proposed IDA
constitution.
If the dormitory residents ap
prove the constitution, which
the Inter-Dormitory Coordin
ating Committee (IDCC) has
worked over a year on, it will
be sent to ASUN for approval.
According to its articles, the
constitution would be ap
proved if a majority of the
residents, who vote, vote for
it in at least six dormitories.
The constitutions says that
if less than 30 percent of a
dormitory's eligible voters
vote, then a number of vot
ers no less than 15 per cent
of the eligible voters must
back the constitution for it to
be accepted by the dormitory.
If an individual dormitory
doesn't accept the constitu
tion, it will have the option
of withdrawing its member
ship in the IDA, the constitu
tion says.
Tuesday's Results
In Tuesday's election, which
IDCC chairman Jim Ludwig
called an "organizing elec
tion," all residence halls ap
proved the Association by
wide margins with the total
vote of 1,329-for and 181
against the measure.
The following is a break

totals in Tuesday's election:

IDA Organization
The constitution calls for
the IDA to have four parts;
the Council, Executive Com
mittee, the Inter-Dormitory
Court and several committees.
The Inter-Dormitory Council
will consist of representatives
selected by the indivdual
dormitories. The representa
tives, each having voting
privileges, will represent 250
residents in their respective
dormitory.
The Executive Committee,
consisting of the president,
vice-president, secretary and
treasurer, will serve as a co
ordinating group between the
executive and legislative
branches of the Association.
The Inter-Dormitory Court,
composed of one chief justice
and six associate justices ap
pointed by the president, will
serve as the judicial body of
the Association.
The committees Include
standing committees, such as
social, scholastic, activities
and administration co-ordinating,
temporary committees
and the election committee.
The constitution also pro
vides for an advisor chosen
from full-time faculty mem
bers who has shown an inter
est in the Residence Halls.
The advisor will be selected
by the Council with approval
of the Faculty Committee of
of Student Affairs.

On Discriminatory Housing
By Cheryl Tritt
Senior Staff Writer
ASUN passed a resolution
by a vote of 29-4 Wednesday
demanding "discriminatory"
University housing policies
concerning men and women
"be eliminated."
The resolution, introduced
by senator Ron Pfeifer,
stated that if the Office of
Student Affairs can not grant
this request, the senate will
"expect a statement of their
housing policy by noon Feb.
28."
Presenting the resolution,
Pfeifer said it is apparent
that University "women are
discriminated against," and
it is "time that ASUN take
some kind of stand on the is
sue." Pfeifer added that the Ad
ministration will talk with the
senate on controversial is
sues but that the Senate is al
ways "hesitant to approach
the Administration with its
demands," and this negates
its power.
Not Article 5
President Terry Schaaf
pointed out that the senate,
in approving this resolution,
was not passing Article No.
5 of the Student Bill of Rights.
Article No. 5, approved by
the Bill of Rights Assembly
Sunday, states that students
have the right to choose their
own living environment.
The "Administration is not
following the policies and
wrote will be passed out to

titled it an "Open Letter to

Any appearance would be at
the request and the responsi
bility of an individual stu
dent, he said.

election Tuesday was a vote
on the idea of an IDA. The
Thursday election will be on

"I don't think the vote on

not receive as large a ma

Governor's Figures Indicate
I Rise In Student's Cost Share I
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
Figures used in the gover
nor's office reveal that the
percentage of educational
costs borne by University
resident students will rise
five per cent if the Legisla
ture accepts Gov. Norbert T.
Tiemann's tuition recommen
dation, according to Rich
ard Becker.
Becker, chief budget ana
lyst of the Department of Ad
ministrative Services, said
that Tiemann's plan to hike
University resident tuition
costs $95 yearly to $335, ex
cluding fees, means students
would be paying 37 per cent
of their educational costs
compared with the present 32
per cent.
At the same time, the Tie

The rules concerning all

Other Business
In other ASUN business, a
resolution was passed stating
the senate is opposed to Gov-'
ernor Tiemann's proposed in
creased tuition and "urges
the state legislature to ap
prove the University's origin
al budget request."
The Senate also passed a
resolution calling for an en
dorsement for the proposed
summer English 229 course.
The course will be con
ducted on the advanced
standing by examination poli
cy and will be limited to 30
students who have a 2.5 ac
cumulative average by the
date of registration.
Cost for the course will be
$43 25 per student. Grading
will be on the pass-fail sys
tem. centage of educational costs
paid by non-resident stu
dents from 97 per cent to
87 per cent, Becker said. Tie
mann proposes a hike of $69
yearly to bring non-resident
tuition to $883, excluding fees.
Decrease In
Percentage Figures
Becker explained that the
University figures for stu
dent educational costs paid,
show the Tiemann plan would
mean a decrease in the
percentage paid, but Becker
said the disparity is due to
the different formulas the
University and the gover
nor's office use in computing
educational costs per student.
Joseph Soshnik, University
vice chancellor for Adminis
tration, has said in the past
that a student is presently
paying 42 per cent of the cost
of his education and has pro
jected that the percentage
would go down to about 35
per cent if the University's
budget proposal is accepted.
Becker said the University
figures student costs in a
lump sum, including both res
idents and non-resident costs
and the fees paid outside of
basic tuition, presently $260
yearly for residents and $786
for non-residents.
For instance, suppose the
cost of educating one student
was $20 and the student
payed $8 in tuition, and $4 in
fees.
The governor's office would
be using the $8 figure in their
computations, meaning stu
dents would pay 40 per

Registration for the course

Prior to the date of the fin

will be held in September to

ing the course.
Roger Doerr, ASUN first
vice-president announced that
the Student Court has granted
permission for the senate to
petition for a declaratory
judgment concerning AWS's
status as a student organiza
tion. If a hearing is requested,
Doerr said, it will be con

weeks.

cent of their educational
costs.
University Formula
The University uses a
formula in which the portion
the student pays, fees and
tuition or $12, is divided by
the total educational cost, $20
to give a figure of 60 per
cent which the student pays.
The Tiemann proposal esti
mates that the cost of educat
ing one student in the 1967
69 biennitim will be $964.
The University's original
budget projections, since ad
justed to Tiemann's assumes
per student educational costs
of $1,099 for the biennium.
Tiemann would increase the
amount spent educating each
student $154 dollars from the
present biennium. The
University had hoped for an
increase of $289 per student.
While Tiemann recommen
ded the students' share of
educational costs go up, the
state's share would also, but
2.17 percent less than the stu
dent share.

In terms of absolute dol

would be paying $29.30 for

from the state. The original
University budget had esti
mated students' payment of
$18.29 to every $100 from the
state.
