KAPPA ALPHA THETAS . . . attempt to bring the Sioux and the Crow tribes together In their first-place skit.
First Place Captured By Thetas
. Kappa Alpha Theta pro
duced the winning skit at AWS
sponsored Coed Follies, and
Ron Pfeifer and Pam Wood
were chosen Outstanding Col
legiate Man and Ideal Ne
braska Coed Friday night.
Kappa Kappa Gamma took
, X f.; .
second place honors with their
skit "A Capitol Idea", and
Chi Omega came in third with
"Nebraska The Beef State."
"Truce or Consequences"
led by Theta skitmaster, Sue
Devereaux dealt with a mili
tary theme as it depicted the
settling of the Sioux-Crow
Indian conflict in the Nebras
ka Territory by the United
States Cavalry.
"A Capitol Idea" was con
cerned with the Lincolnites
who stole the government
papers from Omaha and
moved the capitol to Lincoln.
Why was Nebraska named
the "Beef State?" Because the
citizens complain so much.
This idea was brought out by
the Chi Omegas in their skit
"Nebraska The Beef State."
Winning Traveller's Acts
were performed by Karen Jo
Bennett, who placed first, and
Becky McSpadden, who came
in second.
Miss Wood, Ideal Nebraska
Coed is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Harold Wood of
Omaha. She is the newly
elected president of Delta
Gamma sorority, ASUN sen
ator and president of the
Nebraska Union Program
Council.
Outstanding Collegiate Man,
Ron Pfeifer is a student sen
ator, former chairman of the
public relations committee of
IFC and pledge trainer of Phi
Delta Theta.
Other skits competing in
Coed Follies were "A Happy
State of Affairs," Delta Gam
ma; "Women, !t's Time to
Live," Alpha Delta Pi; and
"Cloud Over The Century,"
Zeta Tau Alpha.
A committee on housing
policy has been established
by G. Robert Ross, vice-chancellor
and dean of student af
fairs, to prepare new recom
mendations on housing poli
cy. The results of the commit
tee's action will be submitted
to the Student Senate . and
concurrently to the Faculty
Senate Committee on Student
Affairs and subsequently to
the Board of Regents.
In his statement Ross said
"In my judgement, housing
policy should offer student
maximum choice within the
framework of broad educa
tional objectives and econom
ic requirements."
Ross has designated five
members to serve on the
committee, the remaining
five members are to be se
lected by the students.
Ross Selects
Selected by Ross are Dr.
Allen Edison, professor of
Electrical Engineering and
member of the Faculty Sen
ate Committee on Student Af
fairs; Miss Helen Snyder, as
sociate dean of student af
fairs; Russell Brown, admin
istrative assistant to the dean
of student affairs.
Edward Bryan, director of
housing; and Miss Nancy
Coufal, chairman of the AWS
constitutional convention.
Ross noted in his statement
that "several staff and facul
ty share your (the Student
Senare's) concern with the
discrepancy that currently
exists between housing regu
lations for men and women."
Housing Policy
Terry Schaaf, president of
ASUN, said, in response to
Ross's statement, that he now
understands that the Office of
Student Affairs does not set
the University's housing poli
cy. "Student Affairs goes to the
Board of Regents with their
interpretations of the Re
gent's feelings. The best ap
proach, therefore, towards
establishing a change in the
housing policy is to work with
this committee," Schaaf em
phasized. Schaaf said, that in other
words, it is neither Ross nor
Miss Snyder that set the hous
ing regulations, but that
"they only follow the Board
of Regents."
Ross' statement came at
the request of the Student
Senate for a statement on the
housing policy followed by
the University.
Schaaf explained that Ross
did not make a statement on
policy because Ross "is will
ing to start from scratch and
build up."
Ron Pfeifer, the ASUN
senator who introduced the
motion requesting a state
ment from Student Affairs,
said that he was especially
pleased by the immediate re
sponse by Ross.
"I am also pleased that the
student, faculty, and admin
istration will be working to
gether on establishing new
policies," Pfeifer continued.
"It is my hope that this
committee will regard the
job ahead of them as one
dealing with mature young
adults."
Pfeifer also expressed the
wish that the committee will
put an end to "tired, worn
out arguments and answers
and produce some fresh new
results."

Senior Staff Writer
The second session of the Student Bill of Rights
Assembly Sunday voted to reword or expand three of
the bill's articles.
Introducing Article 7, which gives students the
right to determine who has access to their University
records, ASUN vice president Bob Samuelson said an
explicit statement of the Administration's policy on
student records "is lacking on this campus."
He suggested that students upon entering the
University should be informed of the exact contents
of their records and if the contents are "permanent
or impermanent" Students should also know who may
see his records and if his academic and non-academic
records are separate.
Assembly Divided
On a straw vote the Assembly was divided wheth
er the students should determine not only who has
access to student records, but also decide what con
tents of the records should be released.
One assembly delegate said students "should feel
responsible" for their University accomplishments.
Employers must know how a student fared in college,
she added, and they find this information in a student's
record.
A student "is being deceptive to future employers,"
another representative said, if he retains information,
such as disciplinary actions in which he was involved.
Assembly chairman, Dick Schulze said "it is the
employer who must decide if he will hire an employee"
who has withheld information from his University rec
ord. The purpose of the article is not "to deceive fu
ture employers," he said.
Student's Property
Delegate Toni Victor, argued that "students records
are students' property, not the University's" (property),
bo students should have control over what is done with
the records.
ASUN senator, Al Spangler, pointed out that "it is
not practical to withhold some academic records. As
an exemple lie cited a student who uses an "incomplete
academic record" to enroll in a graduate school will
probably not be accepted.
' The Assembly voted to make two additions to
Article 11. Article 11 states all students can par
ticipate in University activities.
Delegates suggested it be clarified that while a
student has the right to join University organizations,
the organizations can still set requirements to re
strict membership.
The ' Assembly also suggested that students not
be required to carry a set number of academic hours
before they can participate in campus organizations.
Advisors and Chaperones
Explaining article 18, which states students or
ganizations may decide if they want faculty advisors
or chaperones at their functions, ASUN senator Jerry
Olson said the article could be encorporated into an
other article in the bill.
He noted the faculty-senate subcommittee said
"there is room for negotiation" concerning chaperones
and advisors. Perhaps negotiations would eliminate the
need for this article in the Bill of Rights, be suggested.
A Selleck Quadrangle delegate said the University
rules requiring chaperones and faculty advisers are
"discriminately enforced" so this article should be in
cluded in the Bill.
ASUN senator Rich Thompson moved that the
article be amended by inserting the words "living
units" into the article so fraternities and sororities
could also decide if they wanted chaperones at their
functions.
The Assembly voted to accept Thompson's amend
ment and to incorporate the statement with another
article in the Bill.
Govern Nuts-Academic Life
Article 8 concerning the students' right to legislate
rules through the student goevrnment pertaining to
student life outside the classroom was opposed by
several delegates.
ASUN senator Kris Bitner said the purpose of the
Bill of Rights was a "removal of authority" but this
article is a "transferal of authority." "I don't recognize
anyone's right to regulate my life outside the classroom,"
she added.
Schulze said there are now rules "governing the
students' lives outside the class room which they do
not make."
There are two alternatives, he said. Either "these
laws are eliminated, be said, or the students make the
regulations through ASUN.
He advised the delegates to consider other methods
for legislating such rules. Article 8 will be the open
ing topic for the third session of the Bill of Rights As
sembly next Sunday.
aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimMiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiH
either consume it or throw
it."
"Actually we would much
rather have the audience
throw it than consume it, be
cause if they throw it we
could just sweep it off the
floor and use it the second
night," the Founding Father
added.
In addition to the two melo
dramas, the program will
have an intermission featur
ing sketches and hill-b illy
music.
Crazy Moan s Hill-B illy
Band has already been organ
ized, Almy said.
It will include two people
playing jugs, a "very accom
plished saw player," a gut
bucket (which is a broom
stick with a string in a metal
wash-tub) a "legitimate, tal
ented banjo player" and pos
sibly a harmonica player, he
added.
Though a few of the male
roJes have already been cast,
the Founding Fathers are still
seeking the great talents nec
essary to play such females
roles as Daisy McSkew, Mrs.
iAbigale McSkew, A 1 v i n a
Moneycracker, Mrs. Octavia
Moneycracker, Lyneete Dar
wood and others.
Almy described the role of
Daisy McSkew as "the young
golden-haired heroine of t h e
West a fair Prairie Maid
not cheaper, just better."
Her mother, Mrs. Abigale
McSkew is "a simple matron
ly Western lady more con
cerned with slopping hogs
than listening to the hero, the
poet Filbert Fearless," he
continued.
The melodramas will be ac
companied by rag time piano
featuring old time melodrama
music. "It will be hearts and
flowers throughout," Almy
said.
The program will be run
us a competition between the
two melodrama groups.
The directors, founding
father John Winkworth, who
has not been receiving his
share of the calls, and friend
Mrs. Sandy Muschewski will
be in charge of castinp.
Ultimately, the Founding
Fathers hope to see 20 or 30
people involved, Almy added.
The Founding Fathers met
Sunday evening to draw up
constitution so "we'll be rec
ognized as a legitimate cam
pus organization we don't
want to do any thing on t h e
sly", he said.
A "serious question" in the
new constitution is the desire
of several of the Founding
l athers to ''rewrite a clause
approving the divine right of
kings," Almy indicated.
Although the constitution
must be approved by ASUN,
"We are confident that no
body wants to stand in t h e
way of this form of enter
tainment," he stated.
