University residence halls
will complete the last step
towards forming the Inter
Dormitory Association (IDA)
Thursday when they elect the
resident and vice-president
of the group.
Supervising the elections,
which will be held from 8:30
a.m. until 7 p.m., will be the
IDA election committee,
headed by Ted S u h r, Sol
leek's IDCC representative,
with Wayne Morton, A b e I
Sandoz IDCC member and
Lloyd Reeder, Burr West
IDCC member.
Officials
In the r u n n 1 n g for the
IDA's first executive officials
are two Abel residents and
one candidate each from
Cather Hall and Sellcck.
Jim Arundel. Abel sopho
more, presently the Ahel
Sandoz social chairman, will

in the vice-presidential elec
tion. Constitution
The recently-ratified IDA
constitution states that the
candidate receiving the most
votes in the election will be
declared the winner provided
he receives 40 per cent of the
ballots.
Since only two candidates
are running for each position,
there will be no problem with
this point, however.
The president and vice
president will assume office
one week after their election
and will serve a one-year
term as stated in the IDA
constitution.
IDCC
After the election, the
IDCC will disband and as the
IDCC's last official function,
IDCC chairman Jim Ludwig
will swear in the entering of
ficials of the Association.
In the election, which is
being run under the regula
tions established by the Inter
Dormitory Council, two per
sons are required to super
vise each voting booth in the
individual residence hall,
keeping the ballot box sealed
and validating each voter's
ballot.

IFC Adopts
'Wildcat'
Proposal
By Dave Buntain
Junior Staff Writer
Proposals for a partial
"wildcat" rush system and
an easing of Rush Week re
quirements were adopted by
the Interfraternity Council
.(IFC) Wednesday.
Year Debate
The proposals, enacted af
ter a year of debate on rush
procedures, were introduced
by Vice President Joe Carra
way in behalf of the IFC ex
ecutive committee.
Under the wildcat system
adopted, fraternities will be
allowed to pledge up to ten
men during the twelve days
of July 20-31.
A rushee will pledge by
signing an official IFC pledge
card, which must then be
signed by his parents and a
house representative. Sum
mer pledges will pay a $10
fee, Carraway said.
Advantages
Carraway cited the follow
ing advantages in adopting a
partial summer rush pro
gram: It provides an opportuni
ty to attract larger numbers
of men to the fraternity sys
tem. It enables men to pledge
in time to cancel their dorm
contracts.
Financial Burden
It lessens the financial
burden on the rushee.
It enables a small house
to strengthen its numbers .

Ballots
After the poll's close at 7
p.m., the sealed ballot box
and the list of signatures will
be delivered to the election
committee which will have
four persons counting the bal
lots. These two elected officers,
along with the secretary and
treasurer, will form the IDA'
executive committee, which
serves as a coordinating body
between the executive and
legislative branches of the
Association.
Duties
The presidential duties in
clude an ex-officio member
ship in all committees, pre
siding at all executive com
mittee and council meetings
and the power to appoint the
secretary, treasurer and
committee members and
committee chairmen.
Vice-presidential duties in

the president in his absence,
serving as president if the
presidency is vacated and
acting as advisor and coordi

Purpose Fulfilled
PACT Disbands As
PACT (Political Action),
the successor to the Campus
Freedom Democratic Party
(CFDP) which added impetus
to the concept of a student
bill of rights, fornally d i s
banded as a political party
Wednesday night.
Both Randy Prier, presi
dent, and Liz Aitken, former
president, attributed the par
ty's deterioration to the fact
that PACT was essentially a
one-issue party and that the
issue had been, in Miss Ait
ken's words, "committeed
out by the Student Conduct
committee."
One-Issue Party
"PACT was definitely a one
issue party," Miss Aitken said
"and once that issued was
handled by the Student Con
duct committee, the only po
sition PACT could take would
be to become more radical.
And not all our members are
more radical."
She continued that the suc
cess of the formulating a bill
of rights "based more on le
gal grounds" was a good thing
and added that "I am not so
egotistical to think we were
the only group that can formu
late a bill."
Prier agreed with Miss Ait
ken that the party was held

interjected that the differing
philosophies of party factions
contributed to complications
in party structuring.
" New Constitution
At the beginning of t h e
year, Prier noted, a constitu
tion was drawn up giving the
executive officers a great deal
of control, but the original
constitution was "watered
down" by some of the "more
radical members."
The result, he continued,
was a gradual detioration of
the party until "it wasn't even
the semblance of a real party."
Miss Aitken applauded the
founders of the original CFDP
a bill of rights and making it
an issue in last spring's ASUN
election.

The two presidents in

Senate Housing Bill
Sen. Al Spangler introduced a resolution at Wednes
day's Student Senate meeting stating that the present
University housing policy is "unnecessarily authori
tarian and paternalistic."

ate opposes present housing policy and urges that the
Regents allow students to choose his own living envir
onment. The resolution was defeated by a vote of 7 to 23.

Senator Richard Marvel,
chairman of the budget com
mittee. In an informal discussion
with students from Cather
and Pound residence halls
Senator Marvel highlighted
some of the problems t h e
1967 session of the Nebraska
Legislature is facing.
A possible tuition raise, the
University budget, taxes, and
the proposed OU-NU merger
formed the basis of the dis
cussion held in Cather's north
cafeteria.
Tuition Raise
In speaking of the tuition
raise Marvel said that "if
there are a number of you
who would suffer you would
be very helpful to us if you
would give us some exam
ples." "Most senators feel that
when you figure the cost of
the upkeep on all the cars
they see down here and when
you figure the amount of
money students spend on
hard and soft liquor, that
$95 more a year isn't that
much," he continued.
When asked whether he
' thought students should be
required to go in debt to get
a college education he re
plied: "I don't think it hurts
to go in debt up to a point
but only up to a point."

dents he said, "I don't agree
we ought to eliminate the
non-resident student complet
ely. Non-resident rates are
as close to being as high as
they should be. On the other
hand, as the cost of educa
tion goes up there is more
and more pressure to restrict
non-resident enrollment."
Marvel noted the problems
the Unicameral faces regard
ing the University budget
and the tax situation. "T h e
problem involved," he said,
"is that we are changing to
a new tax system at the same
time that state institutions
are asking for miuch more
money than ever before."
"This year we have to wor

Put On Play
Marvel described the bud

put on every two years which
we close off after two days
because we can't get any
accurate information."
"We have had difficulty
getting the University to put
priorities on different areas
of its budget," he added.

Approve Resolution
Senate: No Action
Against 'Violation'
By Randy Irev
Senior Staff Writer
The Student Senate ap
proved a resolution request
ing that the Office of Student
Affairs not take disciplinary,
action against Jo Flaugher in
regard to her alleged viola
tion of housing rules.
A resolution, which was
originally a part of the one
above, stating that the Uni
versity's housing policy is
"unnecessarily authoritarian
and paternalistic," w-as de
feated. The resolution also stated
that the senate was opposed
to present housing policy and
"urges that the Regents al
low each student to choose
his own living environment.
The two resolutions were
presented by Sen. Al Spang
ler, and were divided at the
request of the senate.
The first resolution, which
was approved by a vote of 17
to 13, was interpreted by Sen.
Dennis Bartels to mean that
"we believe that someone
should not be judged on a
rule that doesn't exist."
The resolution was ap
proved after an earlier mo
tion was defeated which
asked that judgment on Miss
Flaugher be suspended until
the final policies of the Ad
Hoc Housing committee are
implemented.
Debate on the resolution re
questing that the Regents al
low students to chose their
own living environment cen
tered on w hether or not the
statement would be inter
preted as a bargaining posi
tion or a concrete stand on
the part of the senate.
Bob Samuelson, second
v i c e-president of ASUN,
urged the adoption of the res
olution decause "we would
work within the structure of
the Board of Regents. It is a
necessary step in the right di
rection." The resolution was defeat
ed by a vote of 21 to 9.

Due to complications in the
election procedure, the three
representatives for the sen
ior board will not be an
nounced until a later date,
according to an AWS spokes
man. Also at the election, the
May Queen who will reign
over the Ivy Day festivities
was chosen. The results, how
ever, will not be released un
til May 6.
This year's AWS election
marks two departures from
the elections of past years in
that this was the first year a
primary election was held
and it was also the first that
the AWS tabulations vere
made public.
Although not as many ptcv
ple voted this year than last,
this election surpassed every
record of voters with the one
exception.
At one time, elections for
all women's organizations in
cluding WAA and YWCA
were held at the same time
as AWS and May Queen
elections.

A resolution supporting the
interim Faculty Student Ad
ministratoin Housing Appeals
Board established by the Ad
Hoc committee on housing
was approved by the senate.
The board would accept all
appeals in regard to housing
policies, rules, or decision in
existence at the time of ap
peal. The senate amended the
structure of the board to pro
vide that the two student rep
would have been appointed
would have been appoined
by the ASUN president, will
now be elected by the Student
Senate.
In addition, the structure in
regard to administration
members of the board was
altered.
It was amended to provide
that the two members would
be appointed by the Chancel
lor and could not be mem
bers of the Student Affairs
Office staff.
Samuelson, who introduced
the resolution, explained that
a faculty member would
chair the board because they
"would have more of a neu
tral attitude in regard to the
cases before the board."
He added that there was
only one faculty member on
the board, in addition to the
chairman who votes only in
case of a tie, because "they
should not have as much
weight as those who live un
der or enforce the regula
tions." Under old business, it was
announced that ASUN Presi
dent Terry Schaaf had vetoed
the senate resolution de
manding that University
housing regulations be in ac
cord with the proposed BiT
of Rights.
Schaaf explained that he
had vetoed the resolution be
cause it was basing is actioi
on a right which had not bees
approved by the students oi
even stated in a finalized
form.
