SIDEWALKS REFLECT
IDA: Deferred Rush
Will Infringe On Rights
. . . Supports ASIJ1S Position
By JAX PARKS
Junior Staff Writer
The Inter-Dormitory Asso
ciation Council (IDA) ap
proved a resolution last week
supporting the position taken
by ASUN which opposes the
imposition of deferred rush
on the University Greek sys
tem. The resolution states that
deferred rush would be an in
fringement on student's rights
to choose where they want to
live.
Vice president Dave Shon
ka, who introduced the reso
lution, felt that "forcing peo
ple into the dormitory sys
tem would split loyalties in
the dorms."
COORDINATION'
Shonka said that the pas
sage of the resolution "would
improve co-ordination bet
tween the Greek and Inde
pendent systems."
Representatives from the
Inter-Fraternity Council and
Panhellenic Association also
attended the meeting.
Sid Logemann, IFC secre
tary, encouraged the passage
of the resolution by saying,
Living Units Select

Candidates are now being
selected for the 1967 Home

Ed Hilz, chairman of the
ASUN electoral committee,-
Hilz said that any full time
junior female student who is
in good standing with the
nniver fifty, and who meets
the minimum requirements
for participation in extra-curricular
activities is eligible.
Each woman's living unit

IDA REPORT
President Brian Ridenour
reported on meeting of execu
tives from IDA, IFC and Pan
hellenic. ' Ridenour said that
discussion covered deferred
rush, co-ed visiting, and a co
ordinating board between the
three organizations.
"This joint committee has
a lot of potential, said Ride
nour, "and could strengthen
relationships between Inde
pendents and Greeks."
Ridenour explained that the
board was still in the plan
ning stage, but that one of
its purposes would be to
serve as a complaint board
for infringements of one
group upon the other.
APPOINT JUSTICES
The Council approved the
appointment of justices for
the IDA court. Ridenour said
that 17 people went through
interviews for the court po
sitions. Chief justice is Ted Suhr,
a fifth year student from
Selleck Quadrangle.
Court justices are Mary
The finalists will be judged
on five points, Hilz said. Ap
pearance, personality, and
poise are worth from one to
five points each, and both
scholarship and activities will
be rated on a three point
scale.
Hilz said that each finalist
must be willing to pay $15
to cover photograph and post
er costs. Publicity and cam
paigning will be limited to
skits and the official ASUN
pos.er.
The University of Nebras
ka student body will vote
Nov. 8 on the ten finalists
and the Homecoming Queen
will be announced at the

FORM COMMITTEE
The Council favored a sug
gestion made by Russ Brown,
administrative assistant to
the dean of student affairs
that a committee be - organ
ized to decide on the juris
diction of dormitory court
systems.
The committee, to be com
posed of representatives from
individual living groups, will
decide which court in the
dormitory jusicial system has
original jurisdiction and will
set up a systematic court
system.
IDA passed a resolution
proposed by Bruce BaiJey, a
Cather sophomore, allowing
Women's Residence Associa
tion to have Jour IDA repre
sentatives, one for each dorm
government.
The Council decided that
all profits from the All Uni
versity Fund Dance, to be
sponsored jointly by IDA,
would go to AUF.

Registration Drive To Start;
Classes Open Week Later
With two additional courses,
the Nebraska Free Univer
sity (NFU) is starting its
five - day registration drive
Monday.
The new subjects, recently
added to the NFU course de
scription booklet, bring the
total number offered this se
mester to 21, according to
Susie Phelps, chairman of the
ASUN's NFU Committee.
Registration for the courses
will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
daily, Monday through Fri
day in a booth in the Ne
braska Union.
"Anyone interested in tak
ing a course should first get
an NFU booklet," Miss
Phelps said, "and then sign
the course sheet at the
booth."
Students will be given cards
with notification of the time
and place of the course's first
meeting and a duplicate will
be sent to the course leaders.
"There is no limit on the
number of courses a student
may register for," she said.
"Last year some signed up
for as many as four courses."
The amount of time a stu
dent has to devote to the
courses will be the student's
only limitation, she added.
The NFU. entering its sec
ond semester at the Univer
sity, is a no-cost collection of
courses following a non-academic
approach to areas of
interest to Ftudents.
Leaders were allowed to ar
range courses for subjects
of interest to them, Miss
Phelps said, and will lead dis
cussion during the meeting.
"I suspect that the great
majority of those registering
will be in the first few days,"
Miss Phelps said. "There is
more interest this year and
students will know whether
or not they will have the
time for these courses."
Some course leaders have
indicated a preference for a
restricted number in their
classes, she said. This means
that some courses will be

EDITOR'S NOTE: This
article on the Student Court
is the first in a series on
the current court structures
at the University. The ser
ies has been created to in
form the students of their
legal rights and of the
jurisdictions and activities
of the various courts.
By ED IC ENOGLE
Senior Staff Writer
Student Court's newest Jus
tice will not have to be in
troduced to the other 6ix
justices he appointed all
of them.
Terry Schaaf, president of
the ASUN last year, ap
pointed Chief Justice Stephen
Brumley and the other five
associate justices to their po
sitions. Two weeks ago, ASUN
President Dick Schulze
nominated Schaaf to fill an
associate justice seat vacated
by the resignation of R o n
Bellamy.
FIRST MEETING
When the Student Senate
approved the nomination,
Schaaf became one of the
seven justices who held the
Student Court's first meeting
last Thursday.
'That was just an organi
zational meeting," said Jus
tice Jim Schreck, "a chance
for us all to get acquainted."
The Student Court will
meet ""hursdavs. bePimiing a
week from this 'Thursday, to
consider pen.;"
POWER
According to tiie .ASUN
Constitution the judicial pow
er of the Student Court ex
tends into matters of (1) im
peachment; (2) interpretation
of the ASUN Constitution
closed when they reach their
maximum enrollment.
The lowest maximum this
year is 10 in one course, Miss
Phelps said, while unre
stricted enrollment courses
could run as high as 60 or
more students.
"We feel that the courses
this year are related to cur
rent problems and interests,"
she said, pointing out the
courses on psychic stimulants
and the war in Vietnam.
"This Vietnam course can
be especially well-coordinated
with the Vietnam refer
endum," said Miss Phelps.
The Student Senate Ad Hoc
Committee To Inform
Students On Housing
. . . Election On Nov. 11
A subcommittee of ASUN's
Special Projects Committee
has been organized to inform
the University community
about the Minimum Housing
Code, according to Jean Alte
meyer, chairman of the com
mittee. Lincoln voters will decide
Nov. 14 in a city election
whether the code should be
adopted, Miss Altemeyer said.
The code, if passed, would
set up standards for regulat
ing housing, she said, which
would establish what condi
tions are safe or unsafe. If
a particular building de
clared unsafe, procures
would be taken to have the
building condemned.
REQUIREMENTS
Miss Altemeyer explained
that the code would require
adequate sanitation, electri
cal circuits, size (for num
(3) contested elections; (4)
concerning organiza
tions when referred to the
Court by the University ad
ministration, the Student Sen
ate or an individual student
and (5) by-laws, organic acts
or ordinances of the Senate
or the exercise of powers of
the ASUN executives.
The number of cases aris
ing in these five respective
areas seems to vary.
"I do not recall impeach
ment proceedings since the
ASUN was created," said
Schaaf, "but last year there
was an election fraud case."
BILL OF RIGHTS
Student Senator Al Spang
ler's recent appeal for a
Court judgement on the 17
Constitutional amendments
known as the Bill of Rights
would fall under the fifth of
the divisions, if it is the
jurisdiction of the Court at
all.
"Brumley has indicated
that my petition may not fall
under the Student Court's
jurisdiction," Spangler said.
Spangler's petition had con
cerned the status of Article
5B of the Bill of Rights and
the 17th amendment, both
approved by the student body
in last spring's ASUN elec
tion. Article 5B called for the
students to have an equitable
voice in the making of Uni
versity poVicy. M'hile the 17th
amendment provided for t!ie
student rit;ht t :hoose their
living environment.
LEGAL FORM
Spangler had submitted the
petition, but it was returned
to him with the request that

are the two additional courses
announced just this week
end. According to the NFU book
let, "Human Relations Work

about themselves as persons
in interpersonal and social
situations."
Led by Ronald Feintech,

"University students should
be interested in the code be
cause many students living
off campus are living in sub
standard living conditions,"
she said. Many foreign stu
dents are in this situation.
Wayne Kuncl, foreign stu
dent advisor, stated that he
was in favor of the minimum
Housing Standards Code.
FOREIGN STUDENTS
"Many foreign students
want to find housing that is
both inexpensive and close to
campus, and often these resi
dences are substandard," he
said,
Kuncl said that there are
193 students attending the
University this year, and that
only 28 are living in dormi
tories. He also said that last
year 48 foreign students had
their families with them.

'Spangler is asking for
something we (the C o u r t)
cannot give," said Schaaf.
"He is asking for two dif
ferent things."
The first, according to
Schaaf, is a declaratory judge
ment on which of the amend
ments should be upheld. The
other is a "writ of manda
mus," directing Schulze
to enforce the amendments.
STILL LEGISLATION
Schaaf indicated that the
Court may be involved more
than once this year over the
Bill of Rights.
"The Bill of Rights is still
in legislation," Schaaf said.
"They will not be actual
amendments until they are
approved by the Board of Regents."

Foundation, Towne Club, and
. the Student Association of
Foreign Students.
PRESENT FACTS
"We are planning to con
tact faculty, administration
University employees and vot
ing age students to present
them with facts of the mini
mum housing code," she said.
The United Ministries to
Higher Education will handle
publicity of the code, she
said, and Bob Zucker is in
charge of contacting organi
zations to arrange for speak
ers on the code.
Miss Altemeyer said that
the committee will have an
open meeting at 8:30 p.m.
Wednesday in the Nebraska
Union.
Additional problems on the
amendments may arise,
Schaaf indicated, if students
decide to challenge any
changes that may be made
by the six-man committee
being established by Chancel
lor Clifford Hardin to make
the amendments University
policy.
REVOTE
Schaaf said, as Schulze had
earlier indicated, that any
changes to the amendments
would require them to be re
voted on by the students.
Schaaf also said that ha
would not sit in on any con
sideration of Spangler! peti
tion. "Since I opposed SDS (17th)
amendment last year,"
Schaaf said, "I feel I have
too much vested interest in
this case."
