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 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.

Tuesday's meeting wheth

ly, or even possible. 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.

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.

line approach is not taken
by students leaders, then

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."

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

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

These include the women's

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

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.
