Wednesday, September 20, 1967 ''BiiwiiiinaiiiiiimiioiiiiiHiiioiiiiiiiiiiioiiiu News And Opinion By Mick Lowe Staff Writer The Party for Student Action held its first formal meeting since the Spring ASUN election Tuesday night. At the beginning of the meeting a handful of PSA workers and a sprinkling of senators were reminded by party chairman Billy Eddy that last spring PSA candidates promised "lead--ership, and a lasting, func tional political party." Eddy said that he sees PSA in a "principally re search function." PSA should research areas of particular student concern, Eddy said, and write eith er reports or legislation for PSA senators. PSA ASUN president Dick Schulze also suggested that PSA should "keep senators informed about student con cerns. All too often sena tors and executives be come caught up in their own pet projects, and lose contact with the student body," Schulze noted. Eddy established PSA study groups in three ten tative areas: education, student rights, and student welfare. President Schulz ex pressed a desire for im mediate research on t h e Cancer Enzyme Bv GARY GILLEN STAFF WRITER Cancer research on the East Campus has hypothesized that persons who eat yogurt and cheeze are probably less likely to develop this disease. Dr. Khem Shahani, head of the research, said that cer tain dairy products have been found to contain an en zyme which tends to "pre vent the formation' of can cer." Not enough research has been conducted on the en zyme to determine just how effective the enzyme will be in cancer prevention but its potential is being explored with great interest according to Dr. Shahani. DAIRY PRODUCTS "In India and many other countries where the people eat dairy products in quan tity there has been relatively few cancer cases found," he noted. "It is difficult to say just how close research in this country is to preventing can cer but progress is being made," he said. Only two weeks ago, he noted, scientists found white blood ceils of some persons produce an antiboc'y that discourages the growth of cancer.

The Party for Student Ac tion finds itself in a posi tion of considerable pow er on campus. It holds, for all practical purposes, a clear senate majority with 23 seats, ana all three exe cutive positions. At the same time, there is no opposition party in the senate, since none of the major Schulze oppo nents in last year's election managed to weather the PSA landslide. It is clear that Schulze does not want PSA to lapse into inaction until just be fore the next election. If anything, he would like PSA to work on projects putting the party into an advisory position for the senate, while still maintain ing his workers' interest. Some students have re garded the new senate with skepticism, fearing that rubber-stamp student gov ernment by executive de cree might become a reality. In such a case, ASUN legislation might take the following course: Executive meeting, PSA caucus, and ASUN approval. It was not clear from Tuesday's meeting wheth er such a maneuver is like Research Finds Dairy May Prevent Disease is concerned mostly with the isolation of the beneficial en zymes in dairy products. Most of the research with the enzyme is conducted at the Sloun Ketterine Institute for Cancer Research, a na tional cancer foundation in New York.

In the first place, few senators were p r e s e n t, so Schulze and Eddy found themselves talking mainly to party workers. Still it is possible, after listening to ASUN Presi dent Schulze and 1st Vice President Gene Pokorny to speculate on coming ASUN issues. Students can expect a referendum on Vietnam list ing several alternative pro posals for future United States policy. After the referendum, ASUN may pass a resolution support ing the student's choice. The possibility of levying a small tax on students to finance ASUN projects may also be suggested, if s t u dents appear amenable to the measure. (The ASUN constitution, approved by the students, invests ASUN with the power to levy taxes if necessary.) Revenue might be used to finance the University FM student-owned, s t u-dent-operated radio s t a tion, which Schulze and Pokorny seem to favor. Two major 1966 issues will not be forgotten by either PSA or ASUN. Hous ing and the Bill of Rights will receive considerable discussion. The question is foundation because of their abundant facilities and staff of some 200 to 300 persons. Dr. Shahani noted. The institute is subsidized partly by the government and partly through private con tributions. The cancer-preventing en zyme was discovered by Dr. Shahani and his assistants some four years ago when they were extra-ting various enzymes to determine their role in digestion.

The Daily Nebraskan not what ASUN should do about either issue, but how ASUN should go about implementing the Housing proposal and the Bill of Rights in the face of administrative and Re gents disapproval.' These are the issues which should demonstrate the effectiveness of student government at the Univer sity. If ASUN finds itself forced to compromise again and again on these issues, then student government will be ineffective. One such compromise has already taken place with the new housing policy. If the Regents stall t h e ad hoc committee's rec ommendations any longer, or if they turn down im portant parts of the Bill of Rights, the next move will be left to PSA, ASUN and the students. A Regents' veto, for whatever reason, will mean that student govern ment has little real pow er to make decisions which seriously affect student life. And if a serious, hard line approach is not taken by students leaders, then "Party for Student Action" will prove to be the big gest misnomer since the Student Non-Violent Coor dinating Committee. project are Dr. Jay Vakil, Ron Intenmillen, Clara Zoz and Dennis Helmke. Dr. Shahani has been at the University for the p"S s t ten years and has been en gaged in this research pro ject for the past 4 years. Though Federal Funds Building Del The major University pro jects which were not ap proved for federal funding "should not be delayed too long", according to Harry Allen, director of institution al research. The projects, first phases of an engineering complex and a life sciences complex, were below the cut-off line for funds on a list of pri orities approved by the Ne braska Commission for the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963. The Commission, headed by Vice Chancellor Joseph Soshnik, determines the dis tribution of funds in accor dance with Title I of the Higher Education Facilities Act. TOP PROJECTS This year top priority went to projects planned by the University of Omaha and three state colleges. Allen explained that there was strong justification for the Com' ission decision, adding that it would set building plans back only "a few months." The Commission establish es priorities on the basis of a "very rigid formula set up by the act," he said. "They have virtually no discretion in who gets the money."

UMBRELLA SALES Among the factors which are considered in awarding points for each project are: the school's percentage enrollment increase over the past year. the school's numerical enrollment increase. the percentage by which the proposed project will expand the school's build ing space. This latter factor worked against the University, All en said, since the proposed buildings will not greatly increase the percentage of space despite their enorm ous size. While the Engineering Complex will increase space by 7 per cent, a pro posed classroom building on a smaller campus might increase building space by 25 per cent, thus earning it more priority points, he said. BUILDING GRANTS Allen added that points are deducted if a school re ceived such a grant the previous vear. The Univer sity was awarded funds un der the act to finance a new music recital building last year. He stressed that the de cision had "nothing to do with the quality or value of colls (tor er moUt Wejun.

Turning to the projects themselves, he noted that ground-breaking is still "many, many months away." Architects will og ahead with detailed plann ing in the coming months. NEW PLANS When completed, the En gineering Complex will house all the engineering courses except chemical en gineering and architecture. It will be situated south of Nebraska Hall where a parking lot is now. Allen said the University had requested funds for Phase one of the complex, which would aid in con structing the teaching labs and the research facilities. Phase two, to be completed at a later date, includes the construction of teachers' offices and classrooms.

SCIENCE COMPLEX Phase one of the science complex will provide facili ties for the zoology and physiology departments and some botany class rooms. The second phase will provide facilities for the rest of the life scienc es. Allen said a number o f University buildings have been financed by the High er Education Facilities Act.

In addition, the Univer sity will receive a grant to remodel Nebraska Hall and Andrews Hall if there are no b u i 1 d i n g applications from State junior colleges by Jan. 30. Most of the funds involved are actually appropriated by the Legislature, Allen pointed out. The federal gov ernment provides one-third of the money, while the state appropriates the re maining two-thirds. A' ir HI I 71 m III h in ii inii-in a
