Tiemann Gives
By CONNIE MATTHEWS
Junior Staff Writer
Gov. Norbert T. Tiemann
called on students to "swim,
not sink" in the sea of soci
ety at Saturday's "Opportun
ities, Unlimited" conference
sponsored by the University
Young Republicans and the
national and state Republican
committees.
Tiemann asked the 100 stu
dents attending the conference
what purpose protest move
ments across the country had
and what results they ob
tained. The governor said the
purpose of the conference was
"to show students ways of har
nessing your energy, remain
ing within existing society."
Tiemann said he is still in
terested in finding out which
faculty members applauded
when Negro comedian Dick
Gregory told a University au
dience "the flag is a rag."
He said his reaction con
demning the reports was "not
aimed at reprisal" but he won
dered what kind of faculty
member "would be so swayed
by the emotional appeal of a
demogogue." According to the
governor, Gregory only offer
ed dispair and disorder, not
solutions, to the civil rights
problem.
Tiemann'c speech was the
keynote address at the all
day conference, which was
designed to interest partici
pants in political involvement,
not sell them on the Repub
lican Party, according to Ray
Bliss, chairman of the Repub
lican National Committee.
Howard Phillips, national
"Opportunities, Unlimited"
chairman, in his opening ad
dress told the students "the
main contention of this con
ference is in order to play
an effective role as a good
citizen, you must do some
thing, and one of those things
you can do is participate in
a political party."
Phillips said recent Gallup
poll statistics indicating 42
per cent of persons between
21 and 35 consider themselves

In afternoon appearances,
two Republican Congressmen
agreed that the Democratic
Party is the party of the 1930's
while Republicans represent
the 1970's.
Marvin L. Esch of Michi
gan called President Lyndon
Johnson an example of "the
unimaginative posture of the
Democratic Party in not look
ing for innovative programs
for the '60's."
Each, discussing his 1966
Congressional victory, said
the Republican Party is
against the politician of to
day. "We're looking for the
man who's sincere, objective,
analytical," he said, "and
this is the difference between
the Republicans and the Dem
ocrats." He stated that Mich
igan Gov. George Romney
had the most to do with the
development of this image. . .
Illinois Congressman John
N. Erlenborn said deficit
spending has become a way
of life since 1933 and that
Johnson has become the "lead
ing spender of all times.'
Erlenborn, speaking on is
sues facing the 90th Congress,
felt LBJ would get his tax in
crease, but "he'll have to pay
what is a mighty big price
for him a reduction in his
expenditures."
Also on the program was a
panel discussion on "How to
Get into Politics." Panelists
included Mrs. Lorraine Orr,
state Republican chairman,
Mrs. Ann Batschelder, Repub
lican national committeewom
an from Nebraska, Cheryl
Bresley, University YR's,
Mike Neave, state director of
Teen Age Republicans, Mrs.
Jan Cross, Nebraska Federa
tion of Young Republicans,
and Merrell Anderson, state
Republican vice chairman.
In the afternoon participants
attended three seminars cov
ering public service opportun
ities in communications, gov
ernment and politics and bus
iness, the professions, and
social service.
Seminar lsaderi were Char
insiders Drug 'Board
Phil Boardman and was
passed on a 15 to 9 vote.
The board is to have an
equal representation of stu
dents, faculty and administra
tors, each chosen by his
group.

Unusual Gifts Imported
On 'Christmas Caravan'
Looking for Christmas gifts?
Did you ever think about get
ting an Irish porcelain mug
that plays a tune or a painted
mask from Africa?
Yes, they are in Lincoln
and will be on sale at the an
nual YWCA Christmas bazaar
on Dec. 8 and 9.
This year the bazaar will
be held at Gateway Auditori
um, at 6100 O St., because
of the Nebraska Union ex
pansion, Kathy Kuester, ba
zaar chairman, said. Hours
will be 9:30 to 9:30 Friday
and 9:30 to 6:00 Saturday.
Miss Kuester said the Union
construction has provided the
YWCA with the chance to
seek more Lincoln customers.
"We still want the students
to participate, but by being
out at Gateway we hope to
interest more people in the
community," she said.

been judged guilty in a civil
court.
'QUESTION SEVERITY'
The NSGA stated in the res
olution that it "questioned
the severity of penalties and
irregularities which have
occured."

severity of the penalties pre-

Speech
Sen. Hughes said the con
ference gave students an "op
portunity through their state
and national officers to com
prehend politics and a chance
to ask questions to keep in
formed." Phil Bowen, president of
University YR's, said he was
somewhat disappointed by the
turnout but thought "it was
successful for those who
came."
Mrs. Orr agreed the atten
dance was small but attribu
ted it to bad weather in west
ern Nebraska which prevented
expected delegations from
Chadron State College and
other area colleges from attending.
YMCA Bazaar
zaar is "Christmas Caravan."
According to Miss Kuester,
the bazaar will offer about
$10,000 worth of merchandise
imported from all over the
world.
"We place the emphasis on
getting unique items for rela
tively inexpensive prices,"
she said. Prices will range
from 15 cents to $15 and aver
age $3 to $5, she said, thus put
ting the gifts "in the range
of any student on campus."
Articles have been imported
from Italy, Scandinavia, Ger
many, the Near East, Africa
and Spain for the bazaar, the
chairman said. The merchan
dise will be displayed accord
ing to geographic area, so
"someone looking for a gift
from a particular country
should have no trouble find
ing one," she said.
She said items will range
from Spanish and African ear
scribed by civil laws for the
illegal use of marijuana, and
that irregularities have oc
cured in some Nebraska
schools concerning disciplin
ary action in violation of the
law," the resolution states.
If a student accused of il
legal use of marijuana is
found not guilty in civil
court, the college or univer
sity can take no further ac
tion under the terms of the
resolution, Boardman pointed
out.
'FINAL SAY
"This board is different
from other courts because it
has the final say in these
matters and is not just ad
visory," said Mick Lowe, pub
lic relations officer for the
convention.
Boardman said that the
marijuana board may be wel
comed by all concerned, es
pecially the administration,
since it will take the blame
away from any one group.
The delegates, about 50 in
all, adopted by the same 15
to 9 vote, a resolution sup
porting peaceful demonstra
tions as a last resort to solv
ing student problems.
EFFECTIVE MEANS
The resolution recognizes
"campus disturbances as an
effective means of commun
icating dissent. The NSGA re
cognizes the right of students
to a rational and responsible
demonstration as a last com
municative resort."
The resolution was intro
duced by Scott Meyer, dele
gate from Pershing College.
Some delegates at the con
vention said that student ad
ministration relations did not

Pub Board Structure
Increased student represen

Board is presently under con
sideration by the ASUN Ad
Hoc Committee on Pub
Board, according to Susie
Phelps, committee chairman.
Under the present Pub
Board system, the board con
sists of three students, four
faculty members and a chair
man who is also a member
of the faculty.
The ad hoc committee is
currently considering an al

dents would be represented

household goods.
One addition to the bazaar
this year will be Christmas
cookies served by the down
town YWCA's World Fellow
ship Committee. According to
Miss Kuester, there has nev
er been food at the bazaar
before.
Proceeds from the event
will finance all YWCA proj
ects on the University cam
pus this year, Miss Kuester
said.
These include work the
YWCA does with Head Start
and the Malone Community
Center, Girls' Club. Y-Teen
Advisors, and tutoring for
foreign students' wives, she
said.
"These are projects that
can't make money on their
own, so we need the money
from the bazaar," the chair,
man said.

require the use of demonstra
tions. 'LAST RESORT'
"Although some individual
schools don't need to demon
strate to obtain student goals,
schools who aren't so fortu
nate should have the right to
demonstrate as a last re
sort," Meyer said.
The convention also elected
new officers at the Saturday
session.
New officers elected were
Randy Owen, president, Oma
ha University; Kathy Hoster,
vice president, Kearney State
College; Denise Donohue, re
cording secretary, Chadron
State College and Denny
Jorgenson executive secretary-treasurer,
Omaha Uni
versity. 'REDEDICATE'
Owen said that he intends
to coordinate NSGA programs
to better serve the colleges
and universities of Nebraska.
"We must re-dedicate our
selves to the purposes of the
NSGA, that of working as a
group for the good of all Ne
braska institutions of higher
learning." Owen said.
He said that he would also
like to see the NSGA join in
an effort to present proposals
to the Nebraska Legislature
during the next session.
The convention was con
cluded Saturday with a ban
quet attended by Gov. Nor
bert T. Tiemann.
Represented at the conven
tion were the University of
Nebraska, Omaha University,
Doane College, Hiram Scott
College, Dana College, Hast
ings College, Pershing Col
lege, McCook Junior College,
Norfolk Junior College and
Wayne, Chadron and Peru
State Colleges.
in equal number to Faculty
members.
Another proposed structur
al change which the commit
tee is examining concerns the
selection of Pub Board mem
bers. Miss Phelps said that
under the suggested plan the
Senate would utilize a com
mittee to choose prospective
members.
NEW COMPOSITION
The committee would be
composed of Senators and se
nior members of the outgo
ing Pub Board. At present
prospective Pub Board mem
bers are chosen by the ASUN
executives.
The committee system is
being considered in the hope
that such a body would have
better grasp of journalism
since it would be composed
of a former member of the
board and a larger number
of students, Miss Phelps ex
plained. The ad hoc comittee is al
so considering function
al changes for Pub Board.
"Presently the board's main
function is to select staff
members for University pub
lications but we would like to
see it become a viable source
of communication between
students and campus publi
cations," Miss Phelps stated.
REGULAR MEETINGS
To attain this goal the com
mittee is considering a plan
where Pub Board would hold
regular meetings open to the
students. The editorial staffs
of the Daily Nebraskan and
the Cornhusker would be
present to discuss matters of
student concern with mem
bers of the University com
munity. Miss Phelps emphasized
this would in no way be a
form of consorship but could
be a means to keep the edi
torial staffs aware of student
opinion.
The committee chairman
said her group hopes to make
its recommendations to Sen
ate by Dec. 13.

sembly. New Key
Cylinder
Installed
S a a dos Deposit
Box Broken Into
The disappearance of a key
from the Sandoz Hall deposit
dox ftov. zi marked the first
key to be lost since AWS
initiated a key system for ju
nior and senior women last
year, according to Mimi Rose,
AWS key chairman.
No one girl was responsible
for its loss, according to Miss
Rose. She said the key de
posit box was apparently
broken into.
Jolene Heibel, Sandoz key
chairman, said that a new
cylinder, the cost of which
was split by all 78 Sandoz
residents using keys, has al
ready been installed. Had one
individual been held respon
sible for the loss of the key,
she would have had to pay
for a new cylinder.
AWS will buy the new keys
with money from a fund ac
cumulated for this purpose.
One of the conditions for key
privileges is that each girl
make a deposit to this fund
which insures the cost of lost
keys.
The prompt installation of
the replacement cylinder was
possible only because an ex
tra cylinder was available,
according to Miss Rose. Or
dering a new cylinder would
probably take longer.
As a result of the lost key,
Sandoz Hall will change its
key check out procedure and
put the deposit box in a more
secure place, Miss Heibel
said.

not be revoked as a result
of the key loss because no in
dividual was held responsible,
Miss Heibel added.
