FRIDAY, MARCH 10,
Rights Bill
Final Meet
To Be Held
The final session of the
Student Bill of Rights Assem
bly will be conducted Sun
day at 3 p.m. in the Nebraska
Union.
A S U N Student Conduct
Committee, headed by Dick
Schulze, will then draft the
final Bill of Rights document
Monday.
The document will be pre
sented for a Student Senate
vote Wednesday. ASUN will
approve or reject each arti
cle separately, Schulze said.
Five articles including two
articles not in the original
draft, will be presented to the
Assembly for discussion and
debate.
The new articles involve
statements of principle aff ect
1 n g classroom situations,
Schulze said. The Assembly
will discuss students' rights
to free discussion, expression
and inquiry within the class
room. Students' right "to an un
prejudiced evaluation of acad
emic work" will be considered
at the Assembly session.
He explained this article
would give students "some
recourse for a grade they felt
was capricious."
Article 1 which states stu
dent have a right to be con
sidered for admission to the
University and student orga
nizations without regard to
"race, national origin, reli
gious creed, or political be
liefs," will be presented.
The Assembly will vote on
Article 2, which states stu
dents have a right to a "clear
and concise statement of con
tractual obligations" to the
University.
The right of student organi
zations to have ASUN rec
ognition provided they com
ply with senate's procedural
regulations will be discussed
under Article 13.
Under Article 13, any orga
nization which could "legal
ly form in the Lincoln com
munity could be recognized
by the Senate," Schulze ex
plained. Organizations would
still be subject to "ASUN
procedural requirements but
not to substitive review."

Disciplinary Action
Pending For Coed
The Office of Student Af
fairs has not decided whether
disciplinary action will be
taken or is necessary in re
gard to Jo Flaugher's mov
ing out of University approv
ed housing, according to Rus
sell Brown, assistant to the
dean of student affairs.
At Wednesday's Student
Senate meeting, a resolution
was ap p r o v e d requesting
that Student Affairs not take
any disciplinary action
against Miss Flaugher.
Terry Schaaf, president of
ASUN, stated Thursday that
he hasn't had the opportuni
ty to present the resolution to
Student Affairs.
No Action
"I understand, however,"
Schaaf said, "that there will
not be any action taken
against Miss Flaugher since
she has now agreed to follow
University housing regula
tions and live in approved
housing."
Brown noted that it is the
policy of Student Affairs not
to discuss any disciplinary
actions taken by it.
"We haven't had the oppor
tunity to talk about the sen
Ballot Error . . .
Senior Board
Due to an error on the bal
lot for last Wednesday's AWS
senior board vote, a run-off
election will be held Monday
to determine the three senior
board members.
The top six vote-getters in
Wednesday's election will be
candidates in Monday's elec
tion. They are: Jan Binger,
Susan Henderson, Tish Hoyt,
Elaine Kallos, Jane Klimes
and Diane McDonald.
Polls will be open from
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Ne
braska Union and the East
Campus Union.
According to Candy May,
election chairman, the wom
en serving on executive posi
tions are at the same time
members of the senior board.
So the senior board elections
positions on the PSA ticket
are invited.
He said the Party for Stu
dent Action will become a
permanent campus group.
The party will be directed by
a organizational committee
until officers are elected and
a constitution is written.
The organizational commit
tee, composed of nine stu
dents will run the election
campaign and determine the
manner for selecting the par
ty's senatorial candidates,
Pokorny added.
He said the PSA candidates
for senate positions will help
"determine the final form of
the party platform.
Outlining the PSA platform,
Pokorny said proposals for
"improvements in the areas
of student welfare and educa
tion "will be presented along
with statements on the Bill
of Rights.
PSA executive candidate's
plat i or m stateg the bill must
ate's resolution," Brown ex
plained. "Any decision in
volving possible discipline
would not be made by a sin
gle person."
On Record
At Wednesday's Senate
meeting, it was stated that
Miss Flaugher's action would
be placed on her record.
Brown stated that if any ac
tion is taken, it would not go
on Miss Flaughter's perma
nent record, but would be
noted on a confidential con
duct record that is used only
by the office staff.
"This record is kept sepa
rate from the students' acad
emic record and Is not
available to anyone outside of
the Student Affairs office
without the students permis
sion," Brown continued.
The only disciplinary action
which would be placed on the
permanent record would be
suspension.
Brown added, that since
Miss Flaugher has moved in
to approved housing, she can
only be considered for sus
pension in regard to the hous
ing regulations that she has
broken.
Re-election
should have been for three
instead of six women. This
fact was overlooked in print
ing the ballots.
Seven returning AWS Board
members will fill positions
for 1967-68.
Ann Windle, Susie Sitorius
and Steph Tinan, who pre
viously served on junior
board positions are Nancy
senior board as president and
judicial and program vice
presidents. Returning to fill junior
board positions are Nancy
Coufal, Mimi Rose and Karen
Wendt. These women served
on the 66-67 sophomore board,
Marti Hughes, who repre
sented sororities last term
will again fill this position.
be implemented in a "ration
al manner" if it is to help
advance the student and the
University community.
PSA executive candidates
also maintain the Bill of
Rights defines a "firm posi
tion from which leaders must
negotiate in behalf of the stu
dents." In the area of student wel
fare, PSA suggests a change
in the ASUN committee struc
ture, Pokorny said.
"The committee structure
overlaps," he said. Individual
committees are geared for
yearly programs which shows
a "lack of long range plan
ning." PSA executive candidates
also propose that ASUN in
corporate to become "a legal
entity." he said.
If ASUN could be recog
nized under Nebraska corpo
ration laws, Pokorny said the
senate would have the pow
ers of a separate legal body.

John Fryar, Nancy Martson
Elected To
John Fryar, Cather junior,
and Nancy Martson, Selleck
sophomore were overwhelm
ingly elected as the initial
Inter-Dormitory Association
(IDA) president and vice
president, respectively,
in Thursday's University res
idence hall election.
Fryar gained over twice
as many votes as his oppon
ent Jim Arundel, Abel soph
omore, as he triumphed 1,283
to 602.
Miss Martson defeated her
adversary Paul Canarsky,
Abel sophomore, by a vote of
1,143 to 713.
Fryar said the total showed
that he was given a mandate
to provide dormitory resi
dents opportunities which
they have needed for many
years before the IDA was
formed.
He said the organization
faces a three-fold responsibil
ity. "The responsibility of t h e
executive officers to organize
and facilitate the programs,"
he said, "the Council has a
responsibility and the re s
idents must p 1 a n r, faith in
the group and contribute
ideas to the Council."
"During the next week," he
added, "I will consider ap
pointing the leaders in posi
tions of responsibility so the
whole system is set up in
good condition."
He said the organization
will have to start out with
a 'bang' so the residents
don't forget about the IDA
over the summer.
He added that the IDA is
a young organization, "al
most in infancy and youth is
known for its brashness. I
want this brashness for this
organization so its voice may
be heard across the cam
pus." He concluded that "We may
make initial mistakes but the
success of the IDA will de
pend on the responsibility of
dormitory governments and
their residents."

With these powers ASUN
could manage its own money
and would be able to .sue
other corporate entities.
Pokorny said the incorpo
ration of ASUN has been a
campaign plank in past sen
ate elections but the idea has
never been executed.
The PSA student education
plank proposes that Student
Advisory Boards be set up in
all University colleges.
The party also proposes
that ASUN work closely with
the Advisory Boards, Pokorny
said, "and in this key way
senate can become involved"
in educational reforms.
ASUN aid to other student
organizations "in achieving
their larger educational
goals," in another proposal,
Pokorny said.
"ASUN is often looked upon
with suspicion," Pokorny
said, "but senate could be the
student's biggest help in im
plementing their programs."

Lawmakers Already
With Legislation On
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
The Nebraska Legislature
begins the 49th day of its 77th
session Friday and lawmak
ers have already wrestled
with three major issues in
volving the University.
The Budget Committee co
pleted its public hearings on
the University's 1967-69 bien
nium budget requests two
weeks ago and has been work
ing on the whooping $122.2
million plan the Regents pro
posal to operate the Univer
sity in the coming two fiscal
years.
Behind the question of the
budget increases asked by the
University, an operational
budget hike of 42 per cent
which affects students' pock
etbooks. Tuition Hike
While Gov. Norbert Tie
mann recommended legisla
tive appropriations that out
distance the amount previ
ously recommended by any
Nebraska governor, he also
recommended tuition hikes
up $95 yearly for residents
and $69 a year for nonresi
dents beginning next fall.
Tiemann calculates the tui
tion increases would raise an
additional $3.5 million in funds
for the biennium.
Legislative reaction to Tie
mann's proposals was quick.
Orme Objects
Sen. Fern Hubbard Orme
and George Gerdes, Budget
Committee members express
ed concern about the pro
posal. Other senators, includ
ing Sen. Terry Carpenter also
objected.
Carpenter said University
tuition "shouldn't be raised a
quarter."
Marvel Mum
Sen. Richard Marvel, Bud
house was never quite so
clean," he added.
One of "the wildest things
that goes on in the dorms
this year guaranteed" is
promised at the Cather Hall
Centennial open house and
dance, planned for March 11,
said John Decker, Cather so
cial chairman.
The floors of the dormitory
will be decorated around a
Nebraska Centennial theme.
A working penny arcade,
an Indian village, a saloon
with the Delta Delta Delta
pledge class as saloon girls,
a general store and a dance
hall with Alpha Omicron Pi
pledges as dance hall girls
are several of the floor
themes, according to Bill
Kennedy, Cather representa
tive. Open house is from 2-5 p.m.
and 7-10 p.m. Saturday after
noon. A dance will be held
from 8:30-12 p.m. The Dark

A
work with the IDA commit
tees to find out information
get Committee chairman, is
mum on the University's re
quest. Marvel said he would
rather talk about the com
mittee's action after they
have completed work on it.
This is expected to come
about April 1.
The Budget Committee is
also faced with a University
request for a $569,612 supple
mental appropriation to com
plete this biennium.
Education Committee
While the Budget Commit
tee has been busy with the
University and other budget
requests, the Legislature's
Education Committee has
dealt with three measurer af
fecting the University.
The committee moved LB
736, to merge the University
and Omaha University, to
general file on a 6-0 vote
Monday.
The proposed merger would
fuse the 15,800 student' Lin
coln campus, the Omaha
Medical College and Omaha
University with an enrollment
of 7,500 Into one school.
"Greatest Thing"
Carpenter, chief sponsor of
the b i 1 1, said the merger
would be "the greatest thing
in my book tnat has happen
ed to the state."
Both lawmakers and Uni
versity and OU officials have
been quick to point out that
the merger of the schools
would be the first step toward
a definite strengthening of
higher educational system in
the state.
Tiemann has supported the
bill and his executive assis
tant, Clayton Yeutter, urged
lawmakers to eonsiuur the in
trest of the entire state when
voting on the proposal.
Policy on Tuition
The Education Committee
Nights combo from Iowa
State University will play.
Admission is a quarter for
men and women are admitted
free.
Dignitaries
Chancellor Clifford M. Har
din will attend, according to
Decker, and Governor Nor
bert Tiemann might come.
Invitations have been sent to
Lincoln Mayor Dean Peter
sen, Police Chief Joe Carroll,
former astronaut John Glenn,
the state senators and the
Class B, C and D basketball
teams in Lincoln.
Residents of each Cather
floor will dress along with
their floor theme, but Decker
urged anyone who comes to
dress "casually." He empha
sized that the entire Univer
sity is invited.
Refreshments will be
served and a trophy will be
awarded to the best decor
ated floor, Kennedy said.

"John has a lot of good
ideas," she said, "and I can't

mittees as we will have a lot
of interest and lots of ideas."
She concluded by saying
"I hope a lot of interested

know they will."

also considered and approv
ed a resolution originated by
Sens. Ross Rasmussen and
Richard Marvel that would
set a definite legislative pol
icy on tuition rates at the
University and the four state
colleges.
The same committee
agreed earlier this week to
bring a bill dealing with Uni
versity and state college tui
tion to the floor. The bill,
LB861, may ultimately re
place the resolution and
stand as a stronger state
ment of Legislative policy,
according to Carpenter.
Regents Districts
The Education Committee
also approved a bill spon
sored by Sen. George Syas
that would redistrict the Uni
versity Board of Regents dis
tricts, something which hasn't
been done since 1921.
Testifying on the bill before
the committee, Syas said the
purpose of the move is to
equalize the Regents repre
sentation along the same one
man, one vote lines that the
Unicameral itself is elected
on.
Voting Age
Besides these issues, deal
ing directly with the Univer
sity, the solons approved a
proposed constitution
al amendment to lower the
state's voting age to 19.
The bill, originated by Sen.
Eugene Mahoney, was signed
the first of the month. If
voters approve the amend
ment in the Nov. 1968 elec
tions, Nebraska will become
the fifth state in the Union
to extend the ballot to those
under 21.
