Linda Clark; and Mary
Skripsky, Barb Bargen. and
Diana Sherrill were winners
of the traditional class.
Most of the winners said
that they used tempra paint
for their Christmas windows,
although Marilyn Conway ex
plained that she used acryllic
paint to present a furry effect
on her window, which fea
tured a Santa Claus with a
small wooly dog pulling at his
coat tail.
CARD IDEA
Roxie Gee explained that
her roommate's Christmas
card gave them the idea f o r
their window, a scene of the

a Christmas window is really
very easy." The picture pro

painted a madonna and child.
"The letters PX to one side of
the Madonna are the G r e e k
letters for Christ," Collins ex
plained. "We really hadn't planned
on a stained glass window ef

of what it looks like."

Before the voting, Naylor
had campaigned for the merg

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.

up from $15 to $18 per se

school to continue to offer
the education to Omahans

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

school at Omaha, however,
Naylor said that such struc

With OU becoming part of

it will be the fourth NU cam

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.

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.

open monthly meeting
the details for selection
and removal of the editors,
and the appeal process in

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
