Brief On Coed-Visiting Hours Is Ready For Regents Bv Mark Gordon Junior Staff Writer A brief released Tuesday night by the coed-visiting a summary of the group's con tentions as well as several regulations that would ac company the proposed hours. The brief, a revision of the statement that passed the Faculty Committee on Stu dent Affairs, composed of ASUN representatives, fac ulty members and adminis trators, will be presented to tne University Board of Re gents at their next meet, pre sumably in early April. Social Interaction The brief states that "in the total educational environ ment of the residence hall, the coed-visiting hours will provide students with an op portunity for the social inter action that is vital to t h e i r full development as respon sible and mature citizens." The brief also pointed out that the library, the Nebras ka Union and the dormitory main lounges meet certain needs but they fail to provide an opportunity to discuss pri vate matters or enter tain guests as they "are in the main flow of traffic." Reasons For Hours The statement also said that the hours are sought with several contentions. "A college student making his own decisions and actively functioning in 'our society is mature and responsible enough to entertain guests in his own home and the res idence hall is his home for nine months of each year." Mutual Interests The private rooms pro vide enough privacy to allow the discussion of mutual in terests and the presence of mixed company will increase personal pride in the res ident's home at the Univer sity. "The student's room is both. a place of living and learn- ing. The assets of the rooms such as radios, televisions and desks are conducive to the proper entertainment of guests by an individual. The room is a place where couples can study, make pop corn or listen to records. If the Regents adopt the measure, it will be put on a four week trial to demon strate " the workability of the concept and provide an opportunity for refinement of the operational procedures." During the trial, a respon sible person, not necessarily Photo hy Mike Hayman At 1:30 p.m. the Thunder birds of the U.S. Air Force will present a display of their flying skill at the Lincoln Air Base. a student assitant, would be required to be on the floor during the times the hours are in effect, serving as an advisor and coordin ator. The doors to individual rooms would remain open dur ing the time a guest is being entertained in the room. The individual residence hall may have voting hours orm Construction Progressing D Construction progress on the new dormitory complex is mving along "real well' towards its scheduled com pletion date of August 15, Del H. Busacker, University con struction engineer, said Wednesday. July 25 Deadline He also predicted that if progress continues at its pres ent rate, the four-structure complex will be completed by July 25, the date the contrac complex is finished. The complex, located be tween 14th and 15th Sts. at Y St., is composed of two men's dormitories and one women's residence hall, each accommodating 504 residents. Besides the three ten-story residence halls, there is a two story adjoining food service building, containing a snack bar, cafeteria facilities and recreational facilities for the comples. Completed Work Busacker said the construc tion work is moving towards the north, starting with Hall A. He gave the following sum mary of the work completed on the individual halls: Dorm A the interior paint ing and the majority of the interior wood work is com pleted along with the room partition and the plastering. The mechanical and heating the bedroom furniture and the floor tiling still remains to be done. Dorm B "Progress on Dorm B is between the pro gress of A and C," he said, with block work, window and roof installation completed. Mechanical and heating work must be completed. Dorm C all the windows are installed and the white precast surrounding the out side of the structure will be University of Nebraska Student To Loyalty Oath Requirement By Chcry Tritt Senior Staff Writer ASUN protested Wednesday the Nation Defense Education Act (NDEA) loyalty oath which requires the signatures of students seeking education al loans. Introduced fcy Sen. Li z Aitken, a resolution was pass ed by the Senate stating that the NDEA "loyalty oath is an inapplicable and inefficient requirement for government loans." j The resolution also stated that some qualified students 'find it impossible to sign the oath even while holding the most patriotic senti ments." Lawyer Requests Passage A University student, Dan Dickmeyer, and his lawyer, Pat Healy, appeared before the Senate to ask for the pass age of the resolution. Dickmeyer applied for a $200 NDEA loan last apring, he said, and then discovered this fall he could not receive the loan until he signed the loyalty oath. He refused to sign the oath and was conse quently denied the loan. The oath states that the signer must "bear true faith and allegiance" to the United States and support the U.S. constitution and the country Meeting no more than twice a week and each respective hall has the final decision when or if the hours will be in effect. The committee, consisting of chairman Dave Shonka, Abel residents Norm Matt son, Wayne Morton and Ron Schneider and Sandoz resi dent Jackie Dudendor, is ad vised by Abel residence di rectors Richard A r n d t and Bob Muschewske. finished this week, he pre dicted. The installation of the interior room partitions and part of the plastering remains unfinished. Per Cent's Completed He estimated that the 250 man construction crew, has completed approximately 60 per cent of both the electrical and mechanical portions of the complex and almost 75 per cent of the general work is done, he said. He added that the food ser vice building is almost 80 per cent completed with a portion of the wood trimming work, parts of the mechanical equip ment room and the installa tion of the mechanical equip ment still remains to be fin ished. Overtime He said that the construc tion on the 1,500 capacity structures is going on sche dule since the contractors have employed workers over time to aid construction and the weather has been "good so the work has been able to tion." Elevator Construction Halt The only minor problem the builders have encountered thus far is strike of eleva tor construction workers in Lincoln which may delay the installation of the elevators in the residence halls, although it will not delay the construc tion of the complex, Busacker added. He said the strike has con tinued for about a month, al though he was unable to give any estimate as to the date the strike will be settled. "We really haven't had any difficulties at all," he said," and the most important thing is that we haven't had any serious injuries on the project" Senate "against enemies foreign and domestic." 'Loyalty Not Coerced' H i s refusal to sign the oath, Dickmeyer said, arose from his "belief that one can not be coerced into loyalty" because he is a student in need of funds. "Loyalty must arise spon taneously," he added. This oath has not screened out subversives, he said, which is one of the primary intents of these statements. These oaths usually appear "during times when there is a fear of subversion; such as in the McCarthy era, he ex plained. Kennedy Cited Dickmeyer also presented a statement which appeared in the American A s s o c i a ation of University Profes sors (AAUP) bulletin in 1959 written by the late President John F. Kennedy. In this statement Kennedy said the NDEA loyalty oath was "distateful and humili ating" to administrators of the program. "No one will quarrel with the need to be loyal to the country," he said, but individual students can not be singled out who simply want to borrow money. Arguing against the Aitken resolution. Sen. Gene Hohen see said that "just because the oath hasn't eliminated subversion" does not mean it is not needed. 'No Qualms' The oath does not entail ex treme demands, he said, and a person should have "no qualms about signing it." Sen. Curt Bromm said he 'was not sure the oath was wrong," and an ASUN resolu t i o n protesting the oath "could reflect upon court decisions" which will set precedents in this area. Because Dickmeyer main tains the NDEA loyalty oath is unconstitutional and against the principle of education, Bob Samuelson, second vice-president said, the Senate should support the TOWERFNG CRANE Voices student's stand and "find out if the oath is illegal." stricken Down' Healy pointed out that loyalty oaths similar to the NDEA o a i h have been "'stricken down in several courts." As an example he cited an Arizona loyalty oath concerning teachers which was "'vague and indefinite and didn't give stipulations as to what was demanded cf a person when carrying out the oath. The NDEA loyalty oath has not yet been tried in the court systems and there fore no court decisions have set precedents for the oath. Dickmeyer said he may take his case to court but has pres ently taken no such action. In other Senate business Broadcaster To Appear Thursday One of America's foremost women broadcasters, Pauline Frederick, will appear Thurs day, at 3:30 p.m., in the Ne braska Union. Miss Frederick has been awarded McCall's Golden Mike recognition as the out standing woman in radio broadcasting, for her work as United Nations correspondent for NBC-TV and radio. She has made frequent ap pearances on "Today," the "Huntlev - Brinkley Report," and "Meet the Press," as well as a variety of news spe ' cials. Disregarding the notion that newscasting should be left strictly to males, she was on the scene at the Nu remburg war trials and served as "anchorman" for the radio coverage of the 1956 national conventions. There will be no Hyde Park this week due to Miss Fred erick's appearance. . . - put on final touches as VOL 90, NO.

Tents will also be placed in the malls behind Sheldsn Art Gallery and between Andrew Hall and Burnett HalL President Terry Schaaf an nounced that his proposed Faculty - Student-Administration (FSA) court will be fore stalled until next year. He explained that investi gptions have shown that t h University appellate judicial structure "'is quite inade quate." He added, however that a revised court system can not "come about in a piecemeal manner" and there are presently "no con crete proposals" for changes of every aspect of the Univer sity court system. Executive Salaries Senate also voted to refer to the working committee, a bill proposed by Tom Briggs, director of records, concern ing ASUN executive salaries. The bill was referred be cause a dispute arose over whether an independent audit or would be necessary to ad ministrate the executive sal aries and the funds in the pro posed general expense ac count system. ASUN Treasurer Andrea "Warren said the auditor's du ties could be managed effi ciently by the Senate treas urer. . Senate gave provisional ap proval the Teachers College Advisory Board Constitution and also passed the constitu tions of four other student or ganizations.
