Spring Is Habitat For Finals? I Schaaf Reviews Year; Says ASUN i
Has Gained Folicy Making Lquality
Before leaving Lincoln for
the three month summer
vacation, the dreaded event
of studying for finals in the
midst of warm tempera
tures, cool breezes and out
door activities must be met.
Unlike first semester fi
nals which occur when
temperatures plunge below
zero and give students only
indoor study hideouts. May

skills and studying habits.

A nature loving student

The 1966-67 Student Sen
ate has spent its term ad
vancing the students' opin
ion and strengthening the
students' voice, said this
year's president, Ter
ry Schaaf.
In reviewing the accom
plishments of the year and
predicting Senate's future,
Schaaf said that ASUN now
is on an equal level with the
faculty and administration in
the formulation of policy
concerning the student.
Bill Of Rights Test
He emphasized that next
year's Senate will test
whether student government
is really in the position it
says it is as stated in the
Bill of Rights.
Many of the alumni par
ticipating in the Masters
Program last week com
mented that this is the only
school they know of where
the students take an active
role in educating the peo
ple of the state and its
legislators on the impor
tance of higher education,
according to Schaaf.
Regents Reaction
He estimated that the
Board of Regents, which
has final authority over the
submitted articles, would
pick out the parts of the
Bill it wanted and issue a
statement making it appear
that the articles were a
statement of the Board's
policy.
Schaaf doubted that the
articles necessarily had to
be approved by the Board.
Ha backed this up by re
counting that several
amendments to the ASUN
constitution a year ago were

fojViPwnrld of

adopted by approval of the
Faculty Senate Committee
on Student Affairs.
Bill and Constitution
The Board of Regents has
not itself decided if the
student voter-approved Bill
are actual amendments to
the ASUN constitution.
The Bill is a "negotiable
instrument," Schaaf said.
He guessed there would
probably be changes and
compromises because of the
political nature of the mat
ter. He said that the ar
ticles may be granted a
few at a time over the
years.
"Partial defeat, meaning
rejection of several articles
by the Board, will not mean
failure. It doesn't mean that
we won't have what we say
we have," he said.
ASUN Committees' Work
Outstanding work by the
senators at the committee
level was cited by Schaaf as
one of the major accom
plishments of Student Sen
ate in its second year of
existence.
He listed the Legislative
Liaison committee as serv
ing as a voice of the stu
dents to the Nebraska Leg
islature and the people of
the state.
It conducted speaking en
gagements throughout the
state to service clubs,
brought the state senators
to the campus and served
as a lobbyist agent in the
Unicameral supporting the
University budget request,
Schaaf said.
Take-Home English
The Student Welfare Com
mittee instituted the "take-
home English" course, in
vestigated the problem of
discrimination on Campus
and strengthened the Alpha
Omega book exchange.
He noted that the Incor
poration Committee, con
sisting of law student Dave
Sensenney, has started in
corporation procedures for
ASUN, to be completed
this summer.
The work of Gene Pokor
ny and Mel Schlacter has
strengthened and improved
the college advisory boards,
he continued. He noted that
curriculum improve
ment could be a major job
of this committee next year.
Pass-Fail
The Public Issues Com
mittee achieved the inclu
sion of limited pass-fail
courses in the University
curriculum.
The Library Committee
kept Love Library open
over weekends during the
first semester finals period
and conducted a study of
the use of the library by
students.
The Academic Affairs
Committee under John Hall
completed a survey of the
quarter semester systen.
Schaaf said that the com
mittee might check next
year as to how it would af
fect the University if
adopted.
He cited Joan McCly
mont's Masters Committee
as doing a very fine job
this year.
Ad Hoc Housing
He called the Ad Hoc
Housing Committee one of
the first concepts of stu
dents assuming an equit
able role in decision mak-

ing and policy formation.
He termed the housing com
mittee as one of the "Uni
versity committees" which
are neither faculty, senate
or administration commit
tees. Another such is the Fa
culty Senate Court. Schaaf
said the groundwork of this
court has been established
and is set to go for next
year.
By obtaining voting stu
dent representatives on the
Faculty Senate Convocations
Committee, Schaaf said an
Initial move had been made
to strengthen "a weak com
mittee." Lincoln Relations
The membership of Ron
Pfeiffer on the Lincoln
Parks and Recreation Com
mittee was a move to im
prove relations between the
University and city, Schaaf
said.
A direct result has been
the increase of athletic fa
cilities allowing for a com
plete intramural program
next year, he said.
The ASUN Faculty Evalu
ation Committee, not a sen
ate committee, published
the first faculty evaluation
book last fall. Plans for
next year's book call for
twice the number of instruc
tors evaluated, according
to Schaaf.

HOW TO GET AS
IN ALL YOUR FINAL EXAMS
In today's column, the last of the school year, I dont
intend to be funny. (I have achieved this objective many
times throughout the year, but this time it's on purpose.)
The hoar is wrong for levity. Final exams are looming.
Have you got a chance? I say yes! I say America did
not become the world's foremost producer of stove bolts
and cotter pins by running away from a fight !
You vill pass your finals! How? By studying. How? By
learning mnemonics.
Mnemonics, the science of memory aids, was, as we an
know, invented by the great Greek philosopher Mnemon
in 526 B.C. (This, incidentally, was only one of the inven
tions of this fertile Athenian. He also invented the bouse
cat, the opposing thumb, and, most important, the stair
case. Before the staircase people' were forced wiDy-nilly
to live out their lives on the ground floor, and many grew
cross as bears. Especially Demosthenes who was elected
Consul of Athens six times but never served because he
was unable to get up to the office of the Commissioner of
Oaths on the third floor to be sworn in. But after Mnemon'g
staircase, Demosthenes got to the third floor easy as pie
-to Athens' sorrow, as it turned out Demosthenes, nit .
temper shortened by years of confinement to the ground
floor, soon embroiled his counirymen in a series of sense
less wars with the Medes, the Persians, and the Loe
Angeles Rams. This later became known as the Missouri
Comptomiae.)
But I digress. We were discussing mnemonics, which
are nothing more than aids to memory-little jingles te
help you remember names, dates, and places. For example:
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
In fourteen hundred ninety two.
See how simple? Make up your own jingles. What, for
instance, came after Columbus's discovery of America?
The Boston Tea Party, of course. Try this :
Samuel Adams flang the tea
Into the briny Zuyder Zee.
(NOTE : The Zuyder Zee was located m Boston Harbor
nntil 1801 when Salmon P. Chase traded it to Holland for
Alaska and two line backers.)
But I digress. Let's get back to mnemonics. Like thtst
In nineteen hundred sixty seven
Personnel Blades make shaving heaven.
I mention Personna because the makers of Personna
Super Stainless Steel Blades are the sponsors of this
column. If I may get a little misty hi this, the final column
of the school year, may I say it's been a pleasure working
for Personna? May I say further that it's been an even
greater pleasure working for you, the undergrade of
America? You've been a most satisfactory audience, and
I'm going to miss you this summer. In fact, I'd ask yoa
all to come visit me except there is no access to my room.
The makers of Personna, after I missed several deadlines,
walled me in. I have no doors or windows-only a mail slot
I slip the columns out; they slip in Personnas and such
food as can go through a mail slot (For the past six
months I've been living on after dinner mints.)
I am only having my little joke. The makers of Personna
have not walled me in, for they are good and true and
gleaming and constant as good and true and gleamin?
and constant as the blades they make and I wish to statj
publicly that I will always bold them in the highest esteem,
no matter how my suit for back wages comes out.
And so, to close the year, I give yon one last mnemonic :
Study hard and pass vnth honors,
And always shave with good Personnors!
