Baez Expounds Views
In Schramm Discussion
Folksinger Joan Baez, in
Lincoln for a concert, ap
peared at Schramm Hall
Wednesday afternoon for an
impromptu qeustion-answer
session with Uriversity stu
dents. Ira Sandperl, director
of the Institute for the Study
of Non-violence founded by
the singer accompanied Miss
Baez.
Miss Baez explained that
the Institute consists of semi
nars and readings about
pacifism. She added that not
more than 25 people are al
lowed to participate at a n y
one time, in order to promote
better communication.
She said that the only quali
fications are an interest in
pacifism, no use of drugs, and
a $15 tuition fee.
Student questions centered
around the action Miss Baez
has taken in the American
crusade against the Viet
Nam War. Miss Baez is a
pacifist, and has made na
tional headlines with her par
ticipation in peace demonstra
tions and her refusal to p a y
that part of her income tax
which she feels would be used
to support armed forces.
PHYSICAL RESTRAINT
Miss Baez defined her
brand of non-violence as "re
fraining from doing perma
nent physical damage to any
human being." She added that

To Speak
A representative from the

at 7:30 p.m. in the Ne

Bob Bartee, YD president.
The YD's will consider a
resolution supporting the Ad
ministration's policy in Viet
nam, said Bartee.
Academic freedom will al
so be discussed in connec
tion with Gov. Norbert Tie

there is no justification for
any violent act.
The folksinger remarked
that she believes that the
world is waiting for a humani
tarian act. The removal of
U.S. forces from Viet Nam
should be this act, she said.
When students mentioned the
threat of communism, should
American soldiers come
home, Miss Baez commented
that there is no threat.
She added that Red China
is not active in Viet Nam at
present, and that communism
is being used as a scare tactic
by the government. When
students asked what they
could do to further the paci
fistic cause, Miss Baez said
that she knew of no agency or
group in Nebraska that could
be contacted.
Sandperl and the singer
agreed that the A m e r i c a n
school system is a failure.
They commented that if stu
dents minds are cultivated in
school, it is in spite of, rather
than because of, the institu
tion. The way to learn, said
Miss Baez, is to quit school
and venture into the world.
She added that she learned
more during one hour in jail
than in her school career.
MOVEMENT A FAILURE
Miss Baez indicated that
she considers the peace move
ment a failure. She added,
however, that it is the o n 1 y
hope for survival. She said
that she is not optimistic
about the survival of the hu
man race, but if the w o r 1 d
should survive, it will be
through non-violence.
Miss Baez concluded that
the purpose of the non-violence
crusade is the evolution
of an international dynamic

ture but rather intensifies the

A mild increase in' the

was reported to the Univer

according to Dr. S. L Fuen

Health Center. '
"A few more cases than

said Fuenning, "but it is
far from being an epidem

Monday, 10-12 Tuesday, and
only two cases were treat

The majority of students
treated were from Abel and
Sandoz Resident Halls, ac
cording to Fuenning. The
other cases were thinly dis
persed among various liv

Fuenning said the Health
Center received reports of
food poisoning in one dorm

Senate Refuses To Consider
Resolution On Dow Chemical
By ED ICENOGLE
Senior Staff Writer
Student Senate Wednesday
refused to consider a resolu
tion objecting to certain busi

at the University.
After discussing general
University . policy concerning
such recruitment, the requir

quorum voted not to consider

Mi
Bus. Ad. College Divided
Among Six Departments
Beginning next fall the Col
lege of Business Administra
tion will have six academic
departments rather than the
three it has now as a result
of a recent decision by the
Board of Regents.
The Regents' action divided
the department of business
organization and management
into four separate depart
ments, accounting, finance,
management and marketing.
These departments will join
the Bureau of Business Re
search and the department of
economics as a part of the
College.
Robert Miller, Dean of Busi
ness Administration, explain
ed that the College's expand
ing enrollment necessitated
the expansion of the business
organization department.
He pointed out that college
enrollment figures have
climbed from 960 undergradu
ates and 70 graduate students
in 1960 to 1,867 undergradu
ate and 142 graduate students
today.
"When things grow this
large, you've got to rear
range the organization in or
der to render the necessary
services," Miller said.
The change is primarily an
organizational one intended
to "distribute the administra
tive work among more peo
ple." He emphasized that it
would involve no alterations
in the programs of Business
Administration students.
"It will have no effect on
the curriculum pattern that
students have been taking,"
he said. "This type of or
ganization is found in a ma
jority of the business admin
istration co'leges of compar
able size around the coun
try." Undergraduate s t u d e n ts
will still be required to do
coursework in all the created
departments he explained, in
keeping with the college's de
sire to give its students "a
broad introduction to busi

Graduate students in the
M.A. program study in at

Registration will begin at
10 a.m. for the visiting coeds
from Hastings College, Da

eral college campuses.
Spangler said that because
of "impending interviewing by
the Dow Chemical Company,
some students and faculty in
tend to take action."
"The question is whether or
not we want some part of the

recruit on campus," Spangler

Administration than in other
colleges since students must
, "know the functions of all
areas of business."
He said the college's cur
riculum on both the under
graduate and graduate levels
complies with the accredida
tion requirements of the
American Association of Col
legiate Schools of Business, of
which it was a charter mem
ber in 1916.
Membership in this group
places the University at the
top of the nation's business
colleges, Miller said, since
only 125 schools of the 600
teaching a business curricu
lum are accredited by the
association.
Dr. Albers, the new man
agement department chair
man, will assume the post
on Sept. 1, 1968, after serv
ing as a professor of man
agement at the University of
Iowa.
He has also taught at the
University of Minnesota, Yale
University, Michigan State
University, and Iowa State
University. Dr. Albers has
served as management con
sultant in Germany, Italy,
Portugal, Okinawa and Korea
as well as many locations in
the U.S.
Dean Miller indicated that
appointments to the other new
chairmanships would be an
nounced next semester.

To Address YR's
Young Republicans will

braska's deputy secretary of
state. Thursday at 8 p.m. in
the Nebraska Union, accord
ing to Susie William's, pub
licity chairman.
Beermann, who is listed in
Who's Who Among American
Colleges and Universities,
has served as Legal Counsel
and Administrative Assistant
to the Secretary of tha State
of Nebraska,
He added that he was un
able to state the present Uni
versity policy on deciding
which firms may be repre
sented on campus.
"It is the policy of the
Placement Office to allow on
ly bona fide employers of
graduates to hold interviews,"
Senator Tom Morgan ex
plained to the Senate.
"I don't think it is our
role in the Student Senate,"
he said, "to decide Dow
Chemical is not a proper em
ployer." Spangler contended that the
University needs a policy as
a guideline to future permis
sion for recruitment.
"There are enough people
concerned that this is an im
portant enough issue to be
part of University policy."
Craig Dreezen agreed. "We
should have a policy one way
or another."
The Senate also approved
the Executive selection of Bob
Weaver as chairman of t h e
Ad Hoc Committee on Disci
plinary action.
The committee was ap
proved last week when sev
eral senators expressed con
cern that students charged
with violation of University
policy may not be aware of
their rights.
Suone Cotner was elected to
a fill a vacant Teacher's Col
lege seat in the Senate. Miss
Cotner will replace Kris Bit
ner, who resigned earlier this
month.
The Senators were also
urged to take action on the
current shortage of intramur
al facilities. .
Paul Schneider, a trainer in
the athletic department who
oversees the operation of fa
cilities, pointed out the short
age of recreational space at
the University.
"We are far behind any
school in the United States as
far as giving our students a
place to go, relax a little and
let off some steam," he said.
He appealed to the Senate
to start action and encourage
a program for more intramur
al facilities on campus.
Student enrollment has tri
pled in the last 20 years while
space devoted to student ex
ercise and recreation has ac
tually decreased, according to
Schneider, who was not
speaking in behalf of the en
tire athletic department.
He said he was concerned
over the lack of opportun
ity for students to use ade
quate facilities to keep phy
sically fit.
Sen. Tom Morgan an
nounced that the Faculty
Evaluation Booklets will go
on sale 9 a.m., Friday in the
Nebraska Union. He said this
second annual edition will be
sold for $.50.
