'pedestrian'
campus
scribing University plans fori
growth and expansion.)
by Jim Evlnger
Senior Staff Writer
" As encompassing and in
volved as the planning and
implementation of University
expansion appears, building is
being completed with" the
needs of the University of the
future in mind.
The' concept of a pedestri
um campus is that of a closed
campus containng large
numbers of people moving
freely 'vlth no interference
from vehicular traffic, accord
ing to Vice-chancellor Joseph
Soshnik, chairman of the Cen-
Soshnik explained the plans
were designed with a primary
concern of "density," the re
lationship between the num
ber of students and the
amount of space.
Double present acreage
With expansion heading for
predicted enrollment of 25,000
students within the next 10
years, plans call for the Uni
versity to double its nresent
amount of acreage. Land will
mostly be acquired north and
east of the present city cam
pus boundaries, as well as
eastward and northward ex
pansion on the existing east
campus.
The University could devel
op high-rise, multi-level build
ings in the existing amount
of space to accomodate fu
ture classroom, office and
residence needs, Soshnik ex
plained, but this would lead
to an extremely crowded cam
pus. He said the architect's plans
call for recreational areas sur
rounding each residential ar
ea. Large walkways
All campus buildings will
be joined by walkways large
enough to handle the number
that the University is not out
of stue'ents, Soshnik said. He
noted the existing sidewalks
are too small to handle the
numbers. The size and num
ber of walks will be planned
in respect to building distri
bution, population and traffic
flow.
The idea of satellite Unions
would not replace the main
Nebraska Union; rather, Sosh
nik explained, they would sup
plement the main Union's
facilities. This is being done
with the intention of avoiding
unmanageable centralizations
should 25,000 students con
verge at one Union.
Soshnik also pointed out
to remove the Greek houses
from the campus in the 1m
mediate and short-range fu
ture.
He said it would be rash
and totally wrong to assume
that the University is out to
cause the fraternities or sor
orities any financial disrup
tions.

Two new faculty courts to hear
student suspension appeal cases
Greek houses relocate
Currently, the University is
encouraging the houses to re
locate in the general Vine St,
area between the city and east
campuses. Beta Sigma Psi
Delta Sigma Phi and Acacia
fraternities have plans under
way to relocate in that area
The houses are being asked
to relocate so that the Uni
versitv may use the land at
the south edge of campus to
construct a campus-commun
ity mall.
Soshnik said it will be
number of years before the
mall is actually completed
addine it will be "a transi
tion of some considerable du
ration."
Purchase of property
He explained that the Uni
versitv's long range plans of
priorities do not include the
purchasing of the expensive
Dronerties o w n e a oy tne
Greeks on campus.
"Long -range expansion
plans are not an indication of
an intent to arDitrarny ana
on short notice dislocate the
fraternities and sororities,"
he continued.
He put a calendar guess of
15-20 years before the reloca
tion would be complete.
Sources of income
Soshnik also explained sev
eral sources of income which
fund the University s expan
sion. The two basic sources
are legislative appropriations
and federal funds.
For the current biennium
$17 million in state funds have
been allocated to the Univer
sity by the state legislature
for "capital improvements"
e. land acquisition, building,
etc.

Congressional act in 1963,

- Junior Staff Writer
Students being considered
for suspension by student af
fairs officials can appeal
3 h e i r cases in two faculty
-courts, to which new mem
bers were appointed last week
by Chancellor C 1 i f o r d M.
Hardin.
The courts are faculty sen
ate committees, each consist
ing of five professors. They
hear cases from students sus
pended for disciplinary or
scholastic reasons.
Appointed to the Scholastic
Appeals Court are: Dr. Philip
A. Corkill, architecture; Dr.
L o r e n Bonneau, Teachers
College; Dr. O. W. K o p p,
Teachers College; Dr. Rich
ard M. Bourne, Business Ad
ministration; and Dr. Ernest
R. Peo, Agriculture.
Serving on the Student Sus
pension Appeals Court are:
Dr. Abram W. Epp, Agricul
ture; Dr. Charles J. Ken
nedy, Business Administra
tion; Dr. Wallace M. Rudolph,
Law; Dr. Gordon F. dJver, I
I Teachers College ; and Dr.
Donald W. Dysinger, Psychol
ogy. The courts meet whenever
a student wishes to have his
case reviewed. The Scholast
ic Appeals Court heard two
cases last year and the Sus
pension Court considered
three.
Discipline problems such
as tneit, destroying univer
sity property, breaking into
buildings and morals offenses
are some of the cases re
vi e w e d in the Suspension
Court.
Students appearing before
the court usually have a rec
ord of offenses, said Dr. Wil
liam L. Colville, past chair
man of the committee.
Studejts appeal to the court
after they have appeared be
fore the student tribunal. The
members interview the stu
dent, review the information
from University personnel and
agree on a recommendation
which they submit to the Of
fice of Student Affairs.
"Our recommendations are
u s u al 1 y followed," Colville
said. He said in some cases
the court advocated more
severe treatment than student
affairs officials.
"I have observed that the
student tribunal has been
rougher than anyone else in
dealing with the students," he
said.
Students are made aware
oi ineir ngnt to appeal in
every case where suspension
is a possiblity, said R u s s
Brown, associate dean of stu
dent affairs. He said about
half the students take advant
age of the courts.
"The fresh viewpoint of the
court is a necessary and
helpful aspect in the decisions
made by administration offic
ials," he said.
Brown said although the
student tribunal was some
times stricter, the students
showed sensitivity and con
cern for the student in
trouble.
The faculty committee is a
ew Smith president plans
to discover dorm interests
necessary means of appeal,
said Lynn Overholt, chairman
of the student tribunal.
The student tribunal is not
directly involved with the
committee, she said. The
tribunal, composed of seven
students and two faculty
members, meets when a stu
dent wishes to appeal his
case.
The tribunal protects the
student from an arbitrary de
cision by student affairs of
ficials, Miss Overholt said.
- Appeals in the Scholastic
Court come from students
who are not satisfied with the
recommendations offered by
Dean Fowles, associate dean
of student affairs, said Dr.
Ernest Peo.
Last year the committee
agreed with the recommenda
tion Dean Fowles had made
in both cases, he said. The
students were suspended from
the University with the pro
vision that they could re-enter
after completing correspon
dence courses.
University
policeman
dies Friday
Duffec suffers
heart attack
Emil A. Duffec, 55, a Uni
versity policeman since 1950,
died apparently of a heart at
tack. He was fo md in back of
Bancroft Hall by a student,
Robert Duffec, a distant rela
tive. Following his lunch hour,
the campus policeman went
back on duty and wrote his
last ticket at 1:41 p.m. He was
found less than nine minutes
later.
Duffec was formerly em
ployed at a power plant and
had been a guard at the State
Penitentiary.
He is survived by his wid
ow and three children. Fun
eral arrangements have not
yet been announced.
"Smith Hall president, Ree
sa A!my, is planning to co
ordinate dormitory members'
suggestions and her campaign
proposals in outlining dormi
tory 'goals this semester.
The." new president said
Monday she intends to dis
tribute suggestion sheets to
each floor to determine in
dividual interests'' and new
ideas for dormitory government-find
activities.
Smith's biggest project dur
ing the next few months will
be uniting individual .floors.
under a strong dormitory
Miss,Almy. She feels 'Smith's
oversil government should be
organized as quickly as pos
sible due to the lack of time
remaining in the semester.
?."ss Almy also advocated
more activities to unite Smith
with the ether dorms in the
Smith-Haroer-Schramm com
pltx and ou campus.
i&k;re5!a guide planning
Miss Almy announced she
and Cathy Riesselman, vice
president, will spend this
week coordinating their pro
gram plans. Miss Riessel
man, who will also serve as
head program director, said
she will use Smith Hall wom
en's interests as a guide in
planning the dorm's activities.
"I am Smith's third presi
dent this year, so I natural
ly expect a few difficulties
to accompany my office."
Both Miss Almy and Miss
Riesselman agreed they and
Other Smith officers are hop
ing for a successful semester.
The Feb 1 election results
were made public Sunday
when Miss Almy's opponent,
Andy Corrigan, officially an
nounced she was conceding
the election.
Action cancels election
Miss Corrigan's action can
celled a run-off election plan
ned for Thursday, according
to Cheryll Miller, Smith elec
tion board member. The run
off election was originally
scheduled when the Feb. 1
election results revealed only
a two vote majority in Miss
Almy's favor, 219-217. The
Smith Hall constitution states
that a majority of ten votes
must be present in elections
for the dorm's top two execu
tives, j
Other officers elected are:
secretary, Georgia Malnick;
treasurer, Bobby Smada; so
cial chairman, Dot Russel;
activities chairman, Linda
Sines; IDA representative, El
len Pilmer; publicity chair
man, -Mary Klinge.

funds are provided to match
federal funds for University
projects.
Federal allocations
Soshnik explained each state
is provided with federal allo
cations to finance the Com
mission based on a formula
basis. Each state commission
established priorities among
submitted projects by all state
colleges, universities, J u n -ior
colleges and private col
leges. Matching funds are then
granted on an objective, sta
tistical arrangement of prior
ities. Under these funds for the
fiscal year 1967 Nebraska Hall
and Andrews Hall are bein
renovated.
No '68 funds
Though the University will
receive no federal funds In fis
cal 1968, it will be eligible for
the next fiscal year's allotments.
Another prime source of
University funds is the State
Building Fund. This was for
merly financed by the state
property tax. Since the re
cent elimination of that tax
and the adoption of a state
income tax, the fund contin
ues but financed now by oth
er state revenues, boshnik
termed this part the "heart
of University financing."
Carl Donaldson, University
business manager and secre
tary of the Central Planning
Committee, is also directly
concerned with the financial
aspect of University expan
sion.
Donaldson's office
Donaldson's office works
with contractors, engineers,
maintenance people, the Uni
versity Purchasing Dept., ar
chitects and a host of others
in determining the cost of Uni
versity building.
He said there is a constant
-5 increase in the cost of
building materials and build
ing costs each year, as a gen
eral rule.
Citing the recent steel price
increase as an example, Don
aldson said the first impact of
the increase was felt at the
University not in the cost of
actual building materials, but
in the cost of steel office
equipment.
Oldfather Hall
Donaldson explained that if
Oldfather Hall is completed as
scheduled next fall, the offices
of professors currently located
in the Social Science Build
ing will be moved into 01d-(
father to allow renovation to
take place in Social Sciences.
Working closely with the
Central Planning Committee,
the office of Physical Plant
Administration takes the pro
gram of building as determ
ined by the Central Planning
Committee and puts it into ef
fect. George Miller, physical
plant administrator, said his
office's job was to suprvise
the design by the architects
and the actual construction
through the use of inspectors.

I He Reads 1400 Words a Minute
Edward Martinko is a graduate
student at the Colorado University
Medical Center In Denver. Current
ly studying anatomy, on a National
Science Foundation Fellowship, he
Is faced with a tremendous amount
of technical reading. It's no wonder
that he enrolled in a rapid reading:
course.
Edward started the Heading Dy
namics course reading 177 words a
minute with 60 per cent compre
hension. He now reads at rates In
excess of 1,490 words a minute with
90 per cent comprehension and
this in difficult medical books.
He says of the course: "Reading
Dynamics is a definite asset in
study techniques and helps con
centration as well as interest in
most types of material. The atmo
sphere in the classes is conducive
to learning ... The survey methods
have proved very usefuL."
