SCHRAMM BALL GRADUATE STUDENTS ... exchange opinions during an informal brainstorming session.
Grads Comprise Own Floors
To Enhance Resident Living
By JOX PARKS
Junior Staff Writer
The peace and quiet of the
two graduate floors of
Schramm Hall, provide a
sharp contrast to the other
floors of the dorm, according
to Norm Snusted, Schramm
resident director.
''Second and third floors
are comprised of about 80
male graduate students, be
said, which explains the stu
dious atmosphere.
Cather Hall had a "grad"
floor last year, said Jim Pe
quette, Cather resident direc
tor. But the large number of
applicants could not be ac
commodated by Cather this
year so the grads were moved
t the new dormitory com
plex. GRAD FLOOR
Smith Hall has established
the first women's graduate
floor this year, according to
Dianne Cook, Smith resident
director. There are 31 gradu
ate women living in the n e w
dormitory.
Miss Cook felt that the
women's graduate floor was
a success, and called it a

Delegates
Consider
New Issue
One issue that AWS Consti
tutional Convention delegates
may be discussing when
committees meet in joint
sessions is the elimination of
a phrase saying the purpose
of AWS is to work in coordi
nation with the Associate
Dean of Women students.
Committee members work
ing on the powers, purposes
sand membership of AWS felt
that this comes under advis
ory powers and the clause
where powers are delegated
under University rule.
During the meeting Thurs
day, discussion hinged on the
definition of the word "pur
poses" and members de
cided that the purpose should
directly deal within the areas
of legislation, programming
and social development for
University women.
Committee chairman, Jodie
Calvin, read through the pres
ent articles about the a i m s
and purposes of AWS.
Free Exchange Of Ideas I
"group of women with simi
lar interests."
Some of the women have
contracted for private rooms,
she said, which gives them
more privacy.
GRAD KEY SYSTEM
Miss Cook added thai a
graduate key system has been
initiated, which operates like
the AWS Jr.-Sr. key system.
Snusted indicated that the
Schramm men's graduate
floors include several foreign
students and a few interna
tional educators.
He said that an advantage
to "grad" floors is a '"better
study atmosphere for people
who are serious about study
ing." The graduates have many
of the same topics of inter
est, he said, and have heard
several speakers.
STUDY PROGRAM
Snusted felt that the gradu
ates could benefit the d3rm
by aiding -undergraduates in
study programs. A list of
graduates and their majors
will be given to dorm resi
dents, he said, so they can
Facilities For East Union
Due To Funds Shortage
delayed in the past mainly be
cause other more pressing
projects have absorbed the
funds available for this pur
pose, Allen H. Bennet, Union
board member said.
New union facilities have
been under consideration
by the board at one time or
another for the past 12 years
without results, Bennett said.
Several students have ex
pressed dissatisfaction re
cently with the present East
Union conditions in letters to
the Daily Nebraskan. The stu
dents said Ag Campus needs a
new union more than the city
campus whose Union is being
extensively remodeled.
"1 don't feel that the lack of
new facilities on East campus
is due to any misunder standi
of the need by the adminis
tration, but because the funds
for this purpose must be used .
on more vital projects such as
classrooms and living units,"
he said.
The last time the board dis
cussed the matter was la6t
April or May, Bennett re
called. At this time the administra
tion was again confronted with
the possibility of new union
construction and again the
economic demands exceeded
the economic reality, he said.
"Union construction is not
based on a priority system,
but rather oa the seeds and
get questions answered with
in the complex.
Convenience and social
contacts are two main rea
sons that graduate students
choose to live in the dorm,
said Bing Chen, third Door
student assistant
"Most graduate students
don't like to cook," he said,
and the dorm can provide
this convenience. Living
c 1 o s e to campus is another
convenience.
GREGARIOUS
Chen said that be had ex
perienced living off campus
and that he found it to be
"lonely."
Jim Humlicek, third floor
president, felt that graduate
students are gregarious and
"enjoy sharing interests and
exchanging ideas."
Chen called living on a
grad floor a "stimulating ex
perience." "We have students from
Algeria, Ethiopia, and all
over the country," he said,
and they present many dif
ferent cultures and ideas.
BIG UMBRELLA
These are ideas that I

groups such as classrooms."
Bennett pointed out.
Since the money for such
construction comes from spe
cial student fees and since the
student fees for this year have
already been used on the 1 J

Committee Contacts
Citizens On Housing
The ASUN subcommittee
on the Minimum Housing
Standards Code is contacting
faculty members and Univer
sity employes to explain the
issues and answer questions
concerning the code, accord
ing to Ron Wernet, a com
mittee member.
Lincoln voters will decide
Nov. 14 in a city election
whether the code should e
adopted.
The committee has also
been writing letters to par
ents of all Lincoln students,
said Wernet.
"Wesley Foundation stall

community about the code
last year," said Curt Donald

The program included
about 30 speeches given to
churches, student groups, the

my friends in electrical engi
neering, he said.
The grad floors have
started a forum for the entire
dorm called the Big Umbrel

pose of discussing some of
the greater issues of oar
times."
Chen said that future forum
topics include "Black Pow
er", and "How to Win
Friends and Influence Peo
ple." Speakers from the Job
Corps and people who were
involved in the Detroit riots
win be invited to these for
ums, which are planned for
the first part of November,
he said.
The graduate students are
also planning to publish a pa
per, which will print a series
of essays, said Chen. The
role of the church, the popu
lation explosion, and the dan
gers of over computerization
will be considered.
"We'd like to see these in
tellectual experiences per
meate into the rest of the
dorm system," be added.
only alternative woul be to
raise stsdent fees, he said.
"The board would recom
mend a raise of student fees
for such construction to t h
board of regents only after a
referendum on the matter was
brought before the students,"
Bennett said.

tours of substandard housing
throughout the city of Lin

their printed information
came from the Better Lin

proved by voters.
Wernet said that the Uni
versity staff and their wives
constituted about 4000 poten
tial votes for the Nov. 14
election.
"These votes could easily
be a decisive force in the
election," he explained.
Wernet and Donaldson felt
that most of the faculty are
in favor of the code already.
"Our main objective is to
et them interested enough to
vote," said Wernet

Randall Owens had suggested
when the meeting was an

some discussion on contact
between Nebraska's Student
Senate and OU's Student

Building Report Due
From State Schools
By GARY GILLEN
Junior Staff Writer
The State has asked the
University and other state
colleges to prepare estimates
of their building construc
tion costs during the 67-69 bi
ennium to insure that college
spending doesn't surpass the
state building fund.
State Administrative Ser
vices Director Robert P. Rog
ers said that a close watch
must be kept on the fund un
til revenue from the new in
come tax, effective Jan. L,
can bolster the available
funds.
If the University and other
college building needs exceed
the state fund, some proj
ects most be slowed down to
allow the supply of state mon
ey to catch up, Rogers said.
Rogers said that this
shouldn't cause any great
problems unless the schools
adopt accelerated building
plans.

Joseph Soshnik, vice-chancellor,
said that from the
rough estimate of the Univer
sity's needs from the state
in t h i s area indicate "no
great problem with receiving
state funds.
"The state is just trying to
make sure that they have
enough money in the treasury
before w spend it," he said.
The report would indicate
what projects would have to
be delayed, if any, until the
tax dollar flow into the treas

needs.
"The state is already com
