Views Shows A Daily Nebraskan poll of more than 250 students indi cates overwhelming support for permitting all students except freshmen to choose their own living environment. Seventy-two per cent of the students polled said they thought sophomores, juniors and seniors should be per mitted to live where they chose but freshmen should live in University housing. Seventy-eight per cent of the .girls favored requiring freshmen to live in Univer sity housing and sixty-six per cent of the men agreed with this. Twenty-eight per cent of the students said they -r thought students should be .- permitted to chose their own living envirnment regardless of grade standing. Eighty-two per cent "of the men and 90 per cent of the women said they were op posed to the present system of leeting men live where they wish and requiring women to live in University housing. Students who oppose pres ent policies cited such things as "equal rights" for men Housing By Grades Discussed The consensus of the Ad Hoc Housing committee at their meeting Tuesday after noon was that sophomores should be allowed to live in the special approval cate gory. The special approval cate gory for off-campus housing provides that a manager be in the building who would maintain a study atmos phere. The housing would be specifically for students and not mixed with society. The provision that a man ager be within the building allows for the student to have personal contact with an in dividual on a regular basis. As Dr. Floyd Hoover, a member of the committee noted, if the student became sick, in most apartments no ' body would know about it. However, with this stipula tion the manager could aid the student if necessary. Marv Almy, chairman of the committee, stressed that the provision for sophomores was only the consensus of the housing committee and that it was not the final opinion. Parental Approval The committee also dis cussed the provisions for par ental approval. It was de cided that parental approval in regard to housing would have to be more than a yes or no answer. The parent would be in formed of the specific qualifi cations' of the particular liv ing unit that their child had requested. ; The committee will meet again Saturday morning to further explore University housing and to study possible changes. in housing poll, On Housing Choice Wanted and women as the basis of their opinion. - One coed opposed re quiring people to live in dorms because of the cost. "I'm sure there are people who might not be able to af ford to go to school because of housing costs. If they can find better accommodations for less money I don't think they should be prevented," she said. Some students said they felt extending women's hours and keeping the present poli cy of no hours for men would help make the dorms more acceptable. Another student said if the dorms were sound-proof so students could study better they might be more desir able. The impersonality of the dorms was another point of opposition to some students. "I see housing as a Uni versity effort to stamp out individuality," a freshman coed stated. "When you check into your room you check out of your soul at the same time."

Pam Hedgecock Summarizes 1966 AWS Board Achievements Accomplishments of the 1966-67 AWS Board were summarized by out-g o i n g AWS President Pam Hedge cock at the installation ban quet held Tuesday. In the judicial area, Miss Hedgecock stated a general goal of liberalization and sim plification of the rules, mak ing them more flexible for the women students. AWrS has implemented the senior key system, and sug gested its extension with par ental permission to all wom en with junior and senior standing, and to those wom en who are 21. Other accomplishments in the judicial field included the extension of freshman hours to 11 p.m., simplification of the records procedure and the lifting of the penalty for the "automatic campus." AWS has also deemed special permission of 1:30 or 2:00 nights to go home or out-of-town as no longer necessary.

Changes in the Constitution include the establishment of new election procedures; the system of having a primary election now replaces slat ing of candidates. 250 students participating University housing regula tions said there are rules in every society and no matter where you live you will have to abide by them. A number of students said they think sophomore wom en are not capable of living off-campus without regula tions. One male student said he thinks there should be no general freedom from rules because he didn't trust girls. Several women living in a sorority house said requiring freshmen men to live in dor mitories would help the Greek system because it would give them only two al ternatives. Most students said they feel that with parental con sent students shoul be al lowed to live off-campus. One coed commented that "most parents are conscienti ous and would not permit their children to live in any housing that is not respecta ble." Some would extend this to freshmen girls while others favor requiring freshmen women to live in the dorms. In the program area, AWS has instigated the AWS News letter and AWS Handbook. According to Miss Hedge cock, "these are two entire ly new projects with the goal of increasing the communica tion between the AWS Board and its constituents in mind."

Informed sources told the Daily Nebraskan that in the event Miss Martson is de clared ineligible to hold of fice, the position will be of fered to her opponent, Car arsky. Appoint Vice-President If Canarsky, the present Abel-Sandoz Intramural Di rector, declines to accept the offer, the constitution states that the IDA president would appoint a vice-president with the approval of the Council. "I would be quite dis appointed if I was declared ineligible," Miss Martson said, "since I won the elec tion and I've put quite a bit of planning into what I would do if I was the IDA vice president." She added that she would be disappointed if her pro posed plans couldn't be ful filled. Almost Eligible "Since I've been here al most a year I thought it would be almost enough to be eligible for the election," she said. She added that she was un aware of her powers to de fend herself as "I haven't really considered if the com mittee decided I was ineli gible." She said she turned her ap plication into "someone (elec tion committee chairman Ted Suhr) who knew I was It is important the "stu dents' position on the Bill be shown by a large turn-out at the polls," he said. Universi ty students will show their determination to achieve . these rights, he added, "by voting on election day rather than by active demonstra tions." The Bill of Rights, if rati fied, will be a "statement of objectives which ASUN will work to implement," he ex plained. He added that im mediate implementation of all the articles would be "un likely." Economic Situation Schulze cited Article 5 as an example, because "t h e present economic situation at the University," will make it impossible for every student to choose his own living en vironment as the article states. He added the rights stated in Article four "would have to e v o 1 v e," and students must first decide in what areas "they want equitable participation in the policy making decisions." The eight members of the Appearance a transfer student and that I hadn't lived here a year and he didn't say I was in eligible. He simply said he was glad that I was running for the office." Situation Not Realized Suhr explained that when the application was original ly turned into the election committee, no one realized Miss Martson was ineligible according to constitutional qualifications. "It just didn't click in my mind that she was ineligible when she handed the appli cation to me," Suhr said, "un til the Tuesday night before the election when it hit me like a flash." "I explained to Nancy that the chances were high that she would be declared ineli gible if she won the election and that it might not be worth the time nor the effort to continue with the cam paign." he said. Martson Emphatic Shur said Miss Martson was 'emphatic' that she wanted to continue with her subsequently successful cam paign. Unable to predict the IDCC's ruling on the matter, Suhr said "It's most unfor tunate this situation has aris en as someone who has worked as hard to win the election may be denied the position." He added that he hopes, fhe advantages gained from the organization aren't lost" be cause of "this unfortunate situation." Slated Action . Student Conduct Committee met Monday, to write the final draft for the Bill, Schulze said. Final Document The final document con tains 16 articles. Two state ments concerning student rights in the classroom were added to the original draft and several articles were combined and reworded, he explained. He said the committee unanimously approved the sixteen articles of the bill ex cept number five and num ber 13. The controversial Article Five which gives all students the right to choose their liv ing quarters was approved by a 5-3 vote. Dissenting committee members, were Mike Nerud, Mike Jess and Schulze. Schulze said the three mem bers wanted the article to state that students have an "equal role in formulating housing policy which would allow for maximum individu al choice" in the selection of living environments. and 16th Street travlers. ; i r,M. 7- s-
