Non-Student Privileges
For Union Use Queried
By Mick Lowe
Junior Staff Writer
The right of non-student
groups to Union privileges
was questioned for the first
time Tuesday afternoon.
Diane Hicks, a sophomore
in Teacher's College, posted
signs reading "Join the Army
Kill Children," and "Draft
Beer Not Boys" above the
Army recruiter's table in the
basement of the Union early
Tuesday afternoon.
Unapproved Signs
The recruiter, Capt. Ivan
Mills, immediately took the
signs down. A spokesman for
the Nebraska Union, Daryl
Swanson told Miss Hicks that
her signs had not been ap
proved, and could not be
posted on a Union bulletin
board.
Miss Hicks retaliated by
taking down the signs of the
Army recruiter, on the
grounds that they had not
been approved, either.
Union Official
Robert Barnes, another Ne
braska Union official, told
Miss Hicks that she
"shouldn't have done that.
Only I can remove such post
ers." "But these have not been
approved," Miss Hicks re
plied. "You're right they haven't,"
Barnes answered, and they
shouldn't have been put up
without approval."
Mills was given the signs,
with the explanation that
they would have to be ap
proved by the Office of Stu
dent Affairs.
Posted
Both Miss Hicks and Mills
succeeded in having their re-
Suhcoimiiitee "Votes . . .
JJSBF Request Sent
To Faculty Committee
Consideration of the re
quest of the University Stu
dent Broadcast Founda
tion (USBF) to be a stu
dent organization has been
referred to the full Facul
ty Committee on Student
Affairs, according to Bob
Wilson, USBF chairman.
The Faculty Senate Sub
committee on student or
ganizations voted Friday to
have the full committee
consider the proposal be
cause of the precedent sett
ing nature of the organiza
tion. Legal Corporation
Wilson explained that
USFB is already a legal
corporation and now it
wants status as a student
organization. However
they don't want a constitu
tion because they already
have articles of incorpora
tion. The leaders of USFB plan
to appear before the Fac
ulty committee Friday to
explain the purpose of the
proposed station and its
basic operation.
Wilson said he would like
to model USFB's organiza
tion after the Daily Ne
braskan's. The proposed
Board of Trustees would be
composed of three faculty
members and two students
and would be similar to
Publications Board.
Serve the State
The proposed station
would not be a University
station, Wilson stated. Such
a station might later be
built and staffed profession
ally to serve the state.
The station founded by
USFB would be a student
station aimed primarily at
a campus audience.
No Decision
The USFB is seeking
status as a student organ
ization through approval by
the Faculty Senate because
the Board of Regents have
indicated no definite course
"It would not be fair to
the Regents for a group of
students to run a station
under the University's
name for which the Univer
sity would not be respon
sible," he stated. "This is
why we want to be ap
proved as a student organization."
spective signs approved, and
finally posted.
Miss Hicks said she re
moved the Army signs be
cause "the Union is obviously
remiss in it's duties."
During the Mills-Hicks con
frontation, George Olivarri,
president of the Students for
a Democratic Society started
to distribute anti-war litera
ture beside the army booth.
SDS
He then proceeded to ask
Allan Bennett, director of the
Union if SDS could establish
a booth beside the Army
booth, in light of the fact that
SDS is a student organiza
tion, and the Army is not.
"I can't grant you permis
sion," Bennett answered,
"because that area was spe
cifically granted to the
Army."
"You seem to be granting
those people special privi
leges," Oliverri replied, "and
they're not even a campus
organization."
Bennett explained that he
considered the presence of
army recruiters a service to
the students, since they must
face the draft.
2nd Booth
Bennett said that another
consideration was the traffic
flow in the basement, and
that a second booth would
probably cause congestion.
"I have the power to let
you sit down there, but
I don't think it's proper,"
Bennett concluded.
Proper?
"But you think it is proper
to let non-students occupy
that booth?" Olivarria ques
tioned. "I'm not about to express
my p e r s o n a 1 philosophy,"
Bennett responded, ending
the conversation.
SDS was later told that
they were "perfectly wel
come to have a booth up
stairs," but they remained
near the recruiter, handing
out literature.
Similar Situations
Mills said that he encoun
tered similar situations at the
University of Iowa and Iowa
State last week.
"I respect their right to
demonstrate," Mills re
marked, "as long as they re
spect my right to talk to peo
ple." "The important part of all
this is Union discrimination,"
Olivarri concluded.
(All meetings are at the
Nebraska Union unless oth
erwise noted.)

Controversial Issues Produce
YD, YR Differences Of Policy
Two controversial issues
have been the c a u s e of
sharp differences of policy
between the Young Repub
1 i c a n s (YR's) and the
Young Democrats (YD's)
during the last two weeks.
Steen Supported
On Feb. 23 the YD's voted
to support "both morally
and financially" William
Steen, owner of the Heroic
Bookstore who claims that
the Nebraska pornagraphy
law under which he has
been charged is unconstitu
tional. $20 Donated
Last Thursday night the
YD's voted to donate $20 to
help finance his legal ex
penses. The same night
the YR's defeated by 20 to 1
a similar resolution which
would have offered Steen
moral support.
Last week the YR's also
rejected a proposal by the
Interviews Slated
For Spring Day
Interviews for Spring Day
committee chairmen and
their assistants will be held
Saturday beginning at 9
a.m. in the Nebraska Union,
according to Tom Spilker,
chairman of Spring Day.
Positions available include
assistant overall chairman,
treasurer and chairmen and
assistant chairmen of the
men's games, women's
games, city campus public
ity, East campus publicity,
trophy and secretarial com
mittees. On March 18 interviews
for workers will be held.
About 100 workers will be
(elected, Spilker said.
All students in good stand
ing are eligible for either
set of interviews. No appli
cations are required but
interested persons should
sign up for interview times
on a list posted outside the
ASUN office.
YD's that both groups
jointly sponsor a petition
opposing the proposed tui
tion raise. Cathie Shattuck,
YR president said that "it
would be rather foolish for
us to oppose the proposed
legislation of the very man
we elected as governor."
She said the YR's did not
support Steen because his
court fight on pornography
charges was not a political
issue and "therefore not in
accordance with the group's
constitution and statements
of purpose."
YD President
Inarecent interview,
Bruce Mason, YD pres
ident, was critical of t h e
Young Republican policies.
"Even though the deci
s i o n (concerning Steen's
case) will be decided in the
courts, which are non-political,
we felt that it was the
duty of the Young Demo
crats to aid financially Mr.
Steen so that his case would
be fairly represented."
"We feel that the rights
of an individual in a f r e e
society are definitely a po
litical issue!" Mason added.
YR's
Mason said he felt that
the YD's were concerned
with student and campus
issues and that "the YR's
have brushed aside these
issues with the futile excuse
that they can't be bothered
by non-political issues."
"In other words," Mason
continued, "they (YR's)
seem to be willing to aban
don the student to higher
tuition and arbitrary ad
ministration policies."
Refusal
Another YD member ex
pressed disappointment
over the YR refusal to as
sist in the petition drive
opposing a possible tuition
raise.
"I'm sorry that they
c h o s e not to support it
meriy because of partisan
politics. I would think they
would chose rjt to support i
the petition because they
felt the governor's recom
mendations were valid in
the first place."
As Sweetheart
The annual Sigma Phi Ep
silon Pledge sweetheart dance
was held last weekend, with
Susan Dell, Alpha Omicron Pi,
reigning as the Sig Ep Sweet
heart. She was crowned by Nancy
Hall, Kappa Alpha Theta, last
year's sweetheart. Miss Dell
was chosen from 25 other
candidates.

Senior Staff Writer
A legislative bill that
would set a state policy on
University and state coilege
tuition rates will be intro
duced in the Unicameral
Wednesday, according to
Son. Ross Rasmussen.
Rasmussen, co-sponsor of
legislative resolution
6 which the bill seeks to en
gross, said the bill will be
introduced by Sen. Terry
Carpenter.
Rasmussen said the bill
must have legislative ap
b e f o r e it can be given a
number and assigned to a
committee.
Carpenter's bill would
replace LR6 if the law
makers consented to the
change.
LR6
LR6 proposes, among
other things, that resident
students at state colleges
and the University pay not
more than one-third of the
cost of their education.
If the lawmakers were to
agree to convert the reso
lution into a bill by drop
ping the resolution but in
cluding its langauage in the
bill, as Carpenter proposes,
the tuition proposal agreed
on would have the force of
of a law.
Sen. Rasmussen indicated,
however, that the bill the
Legislature may approve
may merely state that the
Legislature alone, not the
colleges or the University,
may set tuition rates.
LR6 is scheduled to come
up for floor debate Mon
day, The one-third provision
of the resolution runs coun
ter to Gov. Norbert Tie
mann's tuition proposals
that would have University
resident students pay
ing 7 percent of the cost of
their education and state
college resident students
University YR Club
Named 'Outstanding'
The University Young Re
publican's trip to the an
nual Y R convention in
South Sioux City, was
termed "worthwhile" by
delegates who attended.
Bill Harding, presently a
University law student and
a former president of t he
University YR club, was
elected state secret .ry of
the Nebraska Federation of
Young Republicans.
Sheryl Bresley, a Univer
sity student, was selected
by the convention judges to
be Miss Nebraska Y R for
1967.
College Director
In addition, Howard Ken
singer, also a University
student, was elected college
director for the State Y R
organization. His Job is to
supervise all the college
clubs throughout tire state.
To climax the entire con
vention, the University
Y R club was named the
outstanding YR club in the
state.
Robert Denney, first Ne
braska district congress
man, spoke at the banquet
at which the University stu
dents were honored.
New Tone
He stated that he felt the
Republican party had a new
tone. "It is no longer nega
tive. The party is in favor
of something; it believes in
something."
In his speech, Denney
stated that he was opposed
to the United States giving
foreign aid to countries who
agreed with Communist nations.
Specifically crit
icizing the American spend
ing for food to aid the eco
nomies of these countries,
Denney stated that these
expenditures enable "them
to spend the money they
save on implements to kill
our boys in Vietnam."
Dr. Clayton Yeutter
The main speaker for the
afternoon luncheon on Sat
urday was Dr. Clayton Ye
utter, administrative assist
ant to Gov. Norbert Tiemann
and former member of the
University faculty.
Yeutter congratulated the
University for its follow
ing of the governor's bud
get proposals. "The Univer
sity made a wise move; the
action of the state normal
boards, however, to oppose
the governor's recommen
dations was unwise."
He noted the fact that he
felt the executive branch of
the stage government was
reassuming the "budget
emphasis from the Unicameral."

5-2 Vote
The Legislature's Educa
tion Committee sent LR6 to
general file a month ago on
a 5-2 vote. Carpenter asked
last week that the Legisla
t u r e postpone scheduled
floor debate of the resolu
tion to give him time to pre
pare a bill to replace it. The
Education Committee
agreed to co-sponsor the
Carpenter bill, Rasmussen
said.
Rasmussen said he was
uncertain about the o u t
come of the bill attempt.
He said he would have
introduced the resolution as
a bill in the beginning ex
cept that he did not feel
he would gain legislative ap
proval of the stronger bill.
Sen. Richard Marvel
co-sponsored LR6. The two
had introduced a similar
resolution in the 1965 legis
lative session, but it failed
to gain approval.
Opposition
Some Statehouse sources
indicated that the Carpenter
move does not have much
hope.
Carpenter said he f e e 1 s
the tuition position should
be taken in a stronger way
than through a resolution.
He said he opposes T i e
mann's suggestion that Uni
versity tuition go up $95
yearly for non-residents and
$69 yearly for non-residents
in the fall.
Tiemann proposed the
hike to generate additional
University revenue for the
1967-69 biennium.

WHO'S GOT THE BUTTON?
I'm sure it has not escaped your notice that underlying
the adorable whimsy which has made this column such a
popular favorite among my wife and my little dog Spot,
there is a serious attempt to stay abreast of the problem
that beset the American college student.
Many a trip have I made to many a campus talking to
undergraduates, listening to their troubles, hearing their
grievances, reading their buttons. (Incidentally, the sec
ond and third most popular buttons I saw on mv last trip
were: "WALLACE BEERY LIVES" and "FLUORI
DATE MUSCATEL." The first most popular button was,
as we all know, "SCRAP THE SCRAPE" which is worn,
as we all know, by Personna Super Stainless Steel Blade
users who, as we all know, are proud to proclaim to the
world that they have found a blade which gives them
luxury shave after luxury shave, which comes both in
double-edge style and Injector style, which does indeed
scrap the scrape, negate the nick, peel the pull, and oust
the ouch, which shaves so closely and quickly and truly
and beautifully that my heart leaps to tell of it. (If per
haps you think me too effusive about Personna, I ask you
to remember that to me Personna is more than just a
razor blade ; it is also an employer. )
But I digress. I make frequent trips, as I say, to learn
what is currently vexing the American undergraduate.
Last week, for example, while visiting a prominent Eas
tern university (Idaho State) I talked to a number of
engineering seniors who posed a serious question. Like
all students, they had come to college burning to fill them
selves with culture, but, alas, because of all their science
requirements, they simply had had no time to take the
liberal arts courses their young souls lusted after. "Are
we doomed," they asked piteously, "to go through life
uncultured?"
I answered with a resounding "No!" I told them the
culture they had missed in college, they would pick up
after graduation. I explained that today's enlightened
corporations are setting up on-the-job liberal arts pro
grams for the newly employed engineering graduate
courses designed to fill his culture gap-for the truly en
lightened corporation realizes that the truly cultured em
ployee is the truly valuable employee.
To illustrate, I cited the well-known case of Champert
Sigafoos of Purdue.
When Champert, having completed his degree in wing
nuts and flanges, reported to the enlightened corporation
where he had accepted employment, he was not rushed
forthwith to a drawing board. He was first installed in
the enlightened corporation's training campus. Here he
was given a beanie, a room-mate, and a copy of the com
pany rouser, and the enlightened corporation proceeded
to fill the gap in his culture.
First he was taught to read, then to print capital let
ters, then capital and small letters. (There was also an
attempt to teach him script, but it was ultimately
abandoned.)
From these fundamentals, Champert progressed slowly
but steadily through the more complex disciplines. He
was diligent, and the corporation was patient, and in the
end they were well rewarded, for when Champert fin
ished, he could play a clavier, parse a sentence, and name
all the Electors of Bavaria.
Poised and cultured, Champert was promptly placed in
an important executive position. I am pleased to report
that he served with immense distinction-not, however
for long because three days later he reached retirement
ge.
Today, still spry, he lives in St Petersburg, Florida
where he supplements his pension by parsing sentences'
for tourists. . . .
