World King Constantine arrived in Rome Thursday after attempting to oust Greece's eight-month military re gime. The 28-year old regent began the fight after colonols' regime named a viceroy to replace him as head of state for "unexcus able abstinence from ex ercising his duties." Wednesday, the King an nounced he had control of most of the armed forces and was advancing upon Athens. Junta radio stations claimed Constantine was fleeing from village to vil lage. Military leader George Papadopoulos re ported fighting in undis closed places. King Constantine had hoped to restore parliamen tary democracy, which were "born in this land." Flying to Italy with h i s family in a turbojet plane, the king made no com ment to reporters. London flights to and from Greece have been cancelled. U.S. arms ship ments also have been stopped. Omaha World-Herald The Nebraska Unicamer al will have a second spe cial session, predicted State Senator Calista Coo per Hughes of Humboldt. Following the session of Congressional reapportion ment, the second session would consider assistance to county mental health programs, mental health guidelines, and licensing board finance. Senator Hughes believes that emphasis will be placed on decentralization of mental health facilities in the future, stressing pre vention and rehabilitation. Although the initial cost is higher, it will be cheaper in the long run, she be lieves. Counties in the future will tend to consolidate their facilities, thus in creasing efficiency while using qualified officials, she added. Omaha World-Herald Eugene J. McCarthy, Minnesota Senator, will ap pear on the Nebraska Dem ocratic Primary May 14, according to Frank Marsh, secretary of state. Marsh said that since McCarthy's announcement of presidential candidacy on Nov. 30, the Senator has become "an avowed candi Wilson Foundation Identifies Scholars PRINCETON', N.J. (l.P.) The Woodrow Wilson Foundation will henceforth operate mainly as an iden tifying agency to aid stu dents in obtaining graduate fellowships. The established selection committees of the fifteen regions of the U.S. and Canada will designate 1,000 young men and women best qualified as potential c o I lege teachers and in addi tion will designate another 1.000 winners of Honorable Mention. By Feb. 15. 18. t h e names of these 2,000 will be sent to the deans of all graduate schools in the U.S. and Canada. Each graduate school is free to make what ever offers of financial as sistance to the student as it sees fit. The Foundation will iden tify "top-flight college sen iors for graduate fellowship awards" just as the Nation al Merit Scholarship Corp oration identifies and pub licizes promising high school GRADUATING SENIORS!

'Omaha World-Herald The FBI reported a na tion wide increase in crime during the first nine months of the year. Violent crimes increased 15 per cent. The report, based on in formation from local and state police agencies, indi cated the highest percent age increase 17 percent, in suburban communities. Big cities registered an 'over-all 15 percent crime rise and rural areas, 12 percent. Christian Science Monitor Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and other liberals battling Thursday temporarily blocked final Congressional approval of the largest cash increase ever in Social Security benefits. Previously the Senate passed and then decided to reconsider a compromise bill on Friday. The net effect was to head off possible filibuster. The decision to rescind passage and reconsider the measure was reached only after agreement was reached to vote at 11 a.m. Friday. The compromise version would raise benefits for all recipients by at least 13C. Some senators, including Fred R. Harris, D-Okla., and Robert F. Kennedy, D N.Y., objected to the tough ened welfare provisions in the bill. Republican leaders will receive 30 minutes prime television time Friday eve ning to discuss President J o h n s o n's "wooden sol diers" charge, from the Co hrmbia Broadcasting Com pany. In an AFL-CIO Conven tion speech, Mr. Johnson said the Republican Party can only go "backwards, downhill," referring to Re publican Congressmen. Frank Stanton, CBS pres ident, told Republican Con gressional leaders that the President's speech "raised important public issues concerning the record of the Congress. "CBS felt it would con tribute to a public under standing of these issues if the Republican leadership was given a special oppor tunity to reply." Omaha World-Herald graduates. Those selected by the re gional committees in Janu ary will have their applica tions evaluated at Prince ton. The 1,000 who are se elected will be known as Woodrow Wilson Designates. Only 150 direct grants will come from the Foundation, 100 from the U.S. and 50 from Canada. The identification' pro gram is an entirely new ex periment and no one knows how many of the 1,000 De signates will be granted a . fellowship from the num erous graduate schools. How ever, since formerly none of the Honrable Mentions received anything from the Foundation, there is a pos sibility that many of them will now receive offers. There may also be a wi der spread of graduate schools that will give con sideration to Wilson selec tions. The procedure for seeking a Wilson identifica tion is the same as in past years. AIR Reclassification Not Used For Punishing Protesters By KENT COCKSON Junior Staff Writer In no case has the Ne braska Selective Service ever considered reclassifi cation as a punishment for draft protestors, according to a spokesman for Lt. Gen. Guy N. Henninger, di rector of the State Draft Board. The draft has been' a heated issue on many uni versity campuses for sev eral months, especially af ter Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Her shey urged local draft boards to conscript draft resisters. Student protests of mili tary recruiters on campus have been frequent on sev eral campuses, especially on the West Coast, and such protests have often affected the number of those who volunteer under programs offered on the campus. NUMBERS DECREASE "The Selective Service Act of 1967 has decreased the number of volunteers for the Air Force officer's program," according to Lt. Dennis Knecht of Omaha, who is part of a military recruiting team currently at the university. But he added that mili tary recruiters almost al ways do wll on programs presented here. He said that his team has always been received well at all the universities in his juris diction, which include schools in Nebraska, Min nesota, South Dakota. Iowa and Missouri. There has been no signi ficant increase in convic tions for draft law violators in Nebraska, according to Henninger's spokesman. His statement was made in response to national figures which indicate that draft law violations and convic tions have nearly doubled. "We have a sound bunch of young men in this state, and there has been no evi dence of any gross viola tions or increases in viola tions," he said. Concerning graduate in ductions, the spokesman said that they have shown no change in Nebraska since draft laws were re vised last summer, and it cannot be determined if the number of grad inductions will change until the Na tional Security. Council is sues new regulations. He said this in response to a prediction made by Harvard president Nathan M. P u s e y that graduate schools next year may con sist of the "the lame, the halt, the blind and the fe male unless draft rules are changed before this sum mer." The latest cause of con cern was a report last week from a apecial Federal inter-agency committee on critical occupations. The group proposed that after June, deferments be given only to graduate students in four fields: the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics and medicine, according to Newsweek i vrRfiiif linimi f ix II (2) ,i -T FORCE recruiter talks to NU magazine. The proposal was de signed to meet the criti cism that graduate students upon deferment, sitting out the war in a classroom hav en while those who cannot get into college general ly the poor, the urban Ne gro and the rural white are in Vietnam. GRADS DEFERRED Under present draft board regulation, Hershey's one year reprieve issued in June allowed post-B.A.'s already enrolle- to keep their deferments until they completed their degrees. It also deferred those who started grad school in Sep tember until the end of the current academic year. Henninger's spokesman said that it has been the policy of the Selective Serv ice never to single out what kind of student should be deferred, that this decision rests entirely upon the President, Congress and the National Security Council. "The serious national problems that we now face are soluble mainly in terms of the humanities and so cial sciences. We need all U.S. Affairs Educational The Student Conference on United States Affairs held at West Point on Dec. 6 to 9 was termed a very profitable and encouraging educational experience by two University delegates. John Schrekinger and Wally Plosky were selected by the University political science department to at tend the conference. The conference dealt with American foreign policy. Students met in work shop groups and discussed the merits and shortcomings of America's policy abroad. The purpose of the confer ence, which has been spon sored by West Point for the past 19 years, was to give s'tudents an understanding of foreign policy making and to monitor student thinking on these issues. The conference was at tended by over 200 delegates from about 100 colleges and universities throughout the f an ;Tpr. V4Jfl i"ti . f ii f .')ntffVi(jii.

Dillard, law dean at the University of Vir ginia, asked, "Is an engi neer really worth more than a lawyer?" ' Several education organi zations, including the As sociation of American Uni versities, The Council of Graduate Schools and the American Council on Edu cation, have urged the Johnson administration to "hammer out a long-range draft policy as soon as p o s s i b 1 e," according to Newsweek. It was added that a Fed eral interagency committee on education is expected to urge the White House soon to preserve deferments for all grad-school disciplines. "We think that preserv ing the law schools, the business schools and the so cial scientists is as vital to America's interests as is the preservation of scien tists and engineers," said one member. Conference For Students country. Delegates to the conven tion were divided into dis cussion groups to consider different areas of United States policy. Some of the areas dis cussed were East and South east Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa, the North Atlantic, South Asia. Sub-Saharan Af rica and the United Nations. The two University dele gates were members of a discussion group on the USSR and Europe. Member ship on the groups was de cided according to dele gate's background.

Ai, PS'-- -'--'J i- -ifr VfU- -lil $H Turmoil Facing Senate After Christmas Break By ED ICENOGLE Senior Staff Writer A pair of controversial is uses, which promise to crop up again in the ASUN spring election, face Student Senate Christmas vacation. The issues are the revision of Senate representation, and the Bill of Rights, both mat ters of controversy already this year. Having considered legisla tion ranging from closing 14th Street for automobile traffic to banning military recruiters from campus, the Senate will conclude its first semester meetings in January. REPRESENTATION Senate representation is a relatively recent issue, with the creation of an executive committee earlier this month to study possible changes in the current representation by college. Revision has, how ever, been suggested in pre vious years. ASUN President Dick Schulze appointed Bruce Bailey, president of Cather Hall, as committee chairman. Schulze said he instructed the committee to study possi ble alternatives to the pres ent system, as well as to evaluate representation by colleges. At the time of the com mittee's creation, several protests were aired, charg ing that representation other than by college (i.e., by liv ing units) would develop a Greek-Independent split. RECOMMENDATION The committee will make its recommendations some time after vacation, and the Senate will then decide whether or not to place the issue on the spring ballot. Even is Senate does not approve a change, an alterna tive to college representation could be placed on the ballot by the process of petition. The Bill of Rights, the main m m a m in Shati look for the lime-areen can W, Coo. .i-o' Coeof issue of the 1967 election, will probably appear on the ballot in 1968, also. ALTERNATIVE Rather than "confronting" the Board of Regents with the so-called B i 1 1 of Rights this fall, Schulze chose to work with the administration and faculty on a "more com prehensive document." This document will em brace matters of concern to the whole University commu nity, according to Schulze. The Bill of Rights, 17 amendments to the ASUN Constitution, was approved overwhelmingly by the stu dents last semester. POLICY Schulze indicated he thinks that by consulting with the administration and faculty, the concepts included in the bill can become University policy, rather than just ASUN amendments, Schulze and Gene Pokorriy, ASUN first vice president, are the student representa tives to the Student Academ ic Freedom (SAF) committee, which is currently working on the document. The committee, composed of representatives, from the students, faculty and admin istration, also includes Pro O Merry Xmas mister DOKlUt 5121 "0" Ph. 488-9926 S "1t " " "r .

XOMPLETION SAF is now aiming tow ards completion of the docu ment sometime early in the second semester. When the document is fin ished, it will require approval from all three segments .of the University: faculty, ad ministration and students. It will come up for student approval, probably, in the spring election. The document may become a campaign is sue if some students think it does not fully implement the concevts of the Bill of Rights. The Senate has dipped its collective fingers into many other areas: military recruit ing, Publications Board, stu dent FM Radio Station, mini mum housing standards and others.
