HARPER PRESENTS VIVID CONTRASTS ... as final touches bring its completion
I close to reality.
New Dorm Complex To
Receive Final Touches
; Finishing touches on the
'new dormitory complex
north of campus will be
; completed within the next
-two weeks, according to
George Miller, University
administrator.
; Lighting and the sprink
ler systems are expected to
be finished by this time.
"We plan to seed the lawn
as soon as possible, Roy K.
Rasmussen, grounds super
intendent said.
Rasmuisea expects to do
most of 'die landscaping at
the complex himself since
the death of the Univer
sity's Landscape Architect
C. B. Billings last year.
Parking areas are ''shap
ing up well," Miller noted.
The north parking lot,
will be finished by the first
of next week, he predicted.
"We hope to acquire some
land from the railroad to
University Lacks Money;
Refuses Band Grandstand
Lack of time and money
were the major reasons
for the University's refusal
to build grandstands in Me
morial Stadium for the
band, according to James
S. Pittenger, athletic ticket
manager.
The request was made to
Pittenger last spring by

expand the north parking
area to include another row
of cars," he said.
Miller pointed out that all
phases of building construc
tion are completed. Some
furnishings are not installed,
he said, but for all practical
purposes the buildings are
finished.
The installation of a food
tray conveyor in the food
service building is the only
large task remaining and
that will be installed by the
first of next week, Miller
said.
Miller was very im
pressed by the 18-month
construction time required
for the buildings.
"We feel that the con
struction time of the build
ings was very fast consid
ering the size of he tproj
ect," Miller said.

band representative Mike
Bang.
Bang said that the band's
current vantage point, on
the 50 yard line behind the
football players, makes
it "next to impossible to see
what is happening on the
field."
"Since $5 million was
just spent for a new press
box, there wasn't enought
money left for stadium con
struction," Pittenger ex
plained. He also said that by the
time such things as the
drawing of plans were
completed it was too late
to begin construction.
"It takes time to make
preparations," be said.
"You can't just begin build
ing a grandstand by nailing
together 6 inch boar ds."

it
received a bonus for com
pleting the three dormitor
ies and two of the additional
living units for sororities
and fraternities ahead of
schedule, according to Mill
er. The rapid completion of
the complex was attributed
by Del Busacker, assistant
construction engineer,
good planning, overtime
work, large crews and more
than the usual amount of
equipment
A unique feature of the
dormitory complex is a tun
nel system connecting
Schramm, Harper and
Smith Halls, the three halls
in the complex.
The tunnels, which are
closed during the night, al
low students to exchange
linen, eat and travel from
building to building without
going outside.
"We have the biggest
stadium in the Big 8 and
have the worst seating fa
cilities for the band," Bang
said. "We feel that we
could better serve at the
football games if we had
better seating arrange
ments," he added.
Pittenger said that he is
"very receptive" to the
idea and that there is a
possibility that it will be
carried through in the
years to follow.
"We of the band feel
that we contribute a great
deal to football games and
that we deserve better ac
comodations," Bang said.
The idea submitted by
tfae band called for a $4000
portable grandstand to be
located in the southeast
corner near the end zone.

ASUN still may not be
financially autonomous, ac
cording to Dick Schulze,
president of AST'N
Most students anH many
senators believed that
ASUN was financially in
dependent of the adminis
tration when it was an
nounced last year that
ASUN "had received ar
itcles of incorporation."
It was assumed that such
incorporation gave ASUN
powers to raise funds on its
own for projects of its own
choosing without approval
or comment from the
Board of Regents or the
administration.
FINANCIAL
INDEPENDENCE
ASUN has indeed been
incorporated, according to
President Schulze. but there
is some room for doubt
about ASUN's financial in
dependence. The ASUN Constitution

Opinion ...
Incorporation Question
' incorporation.
But Article IV of ihe Con
stitution stater that ASUN
"shall have the following
powers, in so far as these
powers do not conflict with
general University regula
tions established by the
Board of Regents."
LEGAL QUESTION
This means, according to
Schulze, that there is a
legal question as to wheth
er ASUN can conduct nor
mal business functions as a
corporation without Regents
approval.
I'm afraid that this in
corporation hasn't given us
the freedom that we'd
hoped for," Schulze ob
served Wednesday after
noon. Probably the most im
portant potential transac
tion endangered is the right
to borrow mony.
REGENTS APPROVAL
Neither Schulze or the
other executives are sure
that a loan can be obtained
without Regents approval
because of Article IV.

Since the basic budget
for ASUN came from stu
dent fees as approved by
the Regents and adminis
trate n this summer, it
would be fatuous to argue
that ASUN could ever be
"independent" under the
present system.
The problem is that
ASUN would now like to
consider projects which
would require funds not
provided within the origin
al budget.
FM STATION
One such project is the
University FM station,
presently under considera
tion by the ASUN Execu
tive Committee.
If ASUN decides that
they would like to back the
station- financially, then
they will have to raise con
siderable funds and the
most likely alternative is
loan.
"As it is now." Schulze
said, "we have three ways
to raise money. We can
apply for a loan, levy a tax
Included with the tuition
statement is a special form
to obtain information needed
by the University to com
plete reports for the U.S.
Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare in the
interest of assuring equal
opportunities for all students.
Data in the form will be
used for statistical and re
porting purposes only, and
student's official record in
any way, nor will any indi
vidual use be made of the
information.
Students are requested to
complete the form but are
not required to sign it. The
compleed form should be re
turned with the tuition state
ment. If students have questions
about the form, they should
contact Dr. Russell Brown in
the Office of Student Affairs.
B'naiB'rithHillel
Meets Sept. 24
B'nai B'rith Hillel Found
ation, an organization for
Jewish college will hold its
first meeting of the school
year Sunday at 3 p.m. at
Esther K. Newman Camp.
Activities planned include
a wiener roast, singing and
sports, according to Stuart
Frohm. chapter executive
councilman. Students wishing a ride
should be in front of the Cot
ner Building 1 2 3 7 R, at
12:15 p.m. Sunday, Frohm
said.
The organization is also

on the students or create
a fund drive."
A tax is risky because
its success rests on the
mercy and pocketbooks of
the students. A fund drive
faces basically the same
problem.
REALISTIC SOLUTION
The most realistic, and
the most businesslike s o 1 u
tion to the problem would
be a loan. But if the loan
company or bank involved
turned to the Regents for
approval, ASUN would be
at the mercy of the Regents
again.
"The whole situation is
a fairly complex legal
problem." admitted Secre
tary of State Frank Marsh,
who granted ASUN its arti
cles of incorporation.
Schulze said that ASUN
will seek legal advice con
cerning its financial rela
tionship with the Regents.

Schulze said that ASUN
will operate financially as
if the Article IV dilemma
never existed, and "s e
what happens."
The first test is probab
ly months away. It will
most likely occur concern
ing the FM station, al
though a cooperative book
store plan is also under
consideration.
If ASUN decides to seek
a loan, as it will probably
do if it supports the FM
station, and if the Regents
are consulted concerning
the loan, then the question
will be in the hands of
lawyers and out of the sen-
fit
Since the ASUN mills
grind slowly, the question
will remain a question until
November or December.
ASUN will continue to

side, one step forward, two
steps back. Maestro?
