Before the voting, Naylor had campaigned for the merg er, speaking to many Omaha civic and alumni groups. Naylor said that the merg er is necessary to continue to offer quality education at, the Omaha school, while still maintaining a reasonable cost for the student.

With the merger, state stu dents from outside of Omaha will be able to attend t h e University of Nebraska at Omaha at reduced costs. There are currently no liv it. j units provided by the school at Omaha, however, Naylor said that such struc tures are a possibility. With OU becoming part of the University of Nebraska, it will be the fourth NU cam pus. There are currently two campuses in Lincoln: the main and East campuses. committee rroposes Pub Board Revision Student Senate Wednesday considered the extensive rec ommendations on the Univer sity Publications Board pro posed by Sen. Susie Phelps, chairman of the Ad Hoc Com mittee on Student Publica tions. No action will be taken on the proposals until the Sen ate reconvenes in January. Included in the proposals were recommendations on , the structure and function of the Publications Board, and a motion to place the Faculty Evaluation Book under con trol of Publications Board. In other action, the Senate approved a resolution creat ing an Ad Hoc Committee on the NU-OU merger. "This is to see what et fects the merger will have on campus organizations and activities," Cheryl Adams, the resolution's sponsor, said. Miss Adams, Roger Lott and Mike Naden were select ed to serve on the commit tee. A motion proposed by Sen. Tom Greer to demand the closing of 14th Street to au tomobile traffic was tabled Schwartzkopf Defends Coed Visiting Policy By KENT CO( KSO.V junior Staff Writer "You should not be con cerned about the outcome of any issue if you have all the facts pertaining to the issue before you make your deci sion," Ed Schwartzkopf told a small gathering of Univer sity students at the third pre sentation of the Selleck speak er series last night. Specifically he spoke of is sues arising over proposed programs for co-ed visiting hours and "open door" poli cies. He said that wherever there is a small segment of the students who will cause trouble by violating any rules that are set up, there are prob Jems. "There is reluctance to initi ate such programs because there is always that small group that will get into trou ble .. . You have a lot of work to do and it's a little late for my generation to effect t h e changes that y u want," he said. "If you stick an envelope in a closed door, is It considered open? Our problem comes when we get static from the parents who don't want t ) see the student's side. They tell us that they sent their son to school for and education and not a social life, and when we relax the rules involving hours and the like, wc get credit for thinking up o t h e r things for the student to do." he said. Schwartzkopf said tuition rates are about as hich as they will go at this time. He said that a study is tein conducted to determine w h y the Board of Regents missed the enrollment predictions for Merger The third campus is the XU College of Medicine, lo cated in Omaha. Naylor estimated last week that if the merger is ap proved, enrollment at the Omaha campus would jump from the current 8.800 to 11,000. Since the Lincoln cam pus enrollment will probably increase again next year, to tal NU attendance may top 30.000. The merger will make NU the second largest school in the Big Eight, second only to the University of Missouri, which has 40,297 students. NU is currently fifth largest in the conference. Student Senate after the Senate decided to make further study of the situation there. The Senate also approved the appointments of Bob Pet erson and Jim Marx as mem bers of the FM Radio Sta tion Board of Trustees and passed a resolution calling for the publishing of roll call votes in the Daily Nebraskan. In making it's proposals, the Ad Hoc Committee on the publications Board re quested that action not be taken on its proposals until the next meeting. "We found there was no structure set up for the Pub lications Board," Miss Phelps said. "We interviewed people on the Board and on the pub lications staffs and decided to write-up a structure. The proposed structure would feature: a new student chairman each year, who would vote only in the case of a tie on a Board decision no censorship of publica tions the establishment of communication between the editor of the newspaper and freshman, sophomore and ju nior men. Many of those that did n o t come back probably enrolled at one of the state colleges be cause of lower tuition rates, he added. If the study proves this to be true, the tuition rates will remain at their present level for quite awhile, he said. Logciiiann Named As New IFC President The Interfraternity Council IWC) Wednesday ejected Sid Logemann of Sigma Nu as its new president. Logemann ran unopposed. He said that one area that he intends to devote his at tention is the question of dis crimination in fraternities. Logemann told the council that he and retiring IFC presi dent Gene Hohensee have talked with the administra tion about a policy permitting foreign students to live in the houses. "This is the only program that we can implement where we will be able to do some thing about the question of discrimination that will be ac ceptable to the individual houses," Logemann said. He said that this is also the most effective step that can be taken by IFC to promote integration in fraternities on campus. He pointed out that individ ual houses will not be required to accept foreign students. It will operate on a completely independent basis. G. Robert Ross, dean of stu dent affairs at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, pre dieted that the merger will not cut into the attendance at the Lincoln campus, but rath er slow the rate of increase over this year. By merging OU with NU, the Omahans relieved them selves of the municipal tax supporting the school. There was a two mill levy for running the school. Naylor indicated that a raise in the levy was needed to support the school, but Omaha's citizens twice turned down an increase. Vol. 91, No. 51 the student body through an open monthly meeting the details for selection and removal of the editors, and the appeal process in such a case the limitation of the Board to publications support ed by student fees. The last major provision would serve to expand Pub lications Board control to in clude the Faculty Evaluation Book, winch is now published through ASUN and student fees. ASUN First Vice President Gene Pokorny complimented the Ad Hoc group on its "high quality committee work" in preparing the document for Senate consideration. Sen. Phil Boardman pro posed a commendation of the work done by the Model Unit ed Nations Committee, which was unanimously approved by the Senate. The Committee organized and conducted the Model U.N. last week. Senate also went into a committee-of-the-whole to dis cuss open houses in dormi tories. No action was taken. Passaue of the NU-OU mer ger in Omaha Tuesday "was a good move," Schwartzkopf said. One of the ramifications of the merger will come later in the year when Dr. Philip A. Schubek, one of the coun try's foremost cancer re s e a r c h scientists, becomes part of the University of Ne braska staff. Although he said that ha wasn't satisfied with the Uni versity Regent's report on de ferred rush, Logemann said that he didn't consider it a threat in itself. "I would like to implement some kind of meetings with t h e Regents to define their stand fln this issue so that we will know what they mean," he said. Logemann also told t h e council that he intends to re vamp some IFC committees according to policy and ac- tie))?. Nominations were accepted for vice-president and secre tary. Vice-president nominees were Bob Hamer, Phi Gam ma Delta. Bob Bartee, Beta Sigma Psi, and Dick Dosek, Phi Kappa Psi. Those nominated for secre tary were Dave Buntain. Beta Theta Pi, Les Krenk. Thcta Xi, Dave Landis, Sigma Chi, Frank Gold. Sigma Phi Epsi Ion, and Lynn IMambeck, Al pha Gamma Rho. Elections for the two offices are tenta tively slated for Jan. 4.
