Bill Origer, assistant chairman to editor of the last Faculty Eval uation Booklet, Tom Morgan, turned down the job. "He was not willing to do what we'd like him to do," Pokorny said. Origer said he turned down an offer from Schulze and Pokorny to aid in editing the book because he basically objects to the slow ness in their appointing succes sors. Kicking the football Origer called the project a foot ball which Pokorny and Schulze have been kicking around since last December. "They've made a football out of the whole project a little too long," Origer said. He sees the Faculty Evaluation Booklet as a semester by semes ter continuous program. He said this must be continuous to grow in popular acceptance by faculty and students. "From an economical stand point, however, the publishing of the booklet each year would be more realistic than a booklet every semester," Origer said. $500 loss The booklet edited by Morgan which came out last November lost at least $500, Pokorny said. Origer said it would be possible, though hard, for the new editors to publish a book in time for sec ond semester registration next fall. The executives do have per sons to contact whom they con sider competent and favorable to the style of booklet desired, ac cording to Pokorny. Pokorny said immediacy is not a primary problem in selecting the editors. Instead, the executives consider that changing the f 0 r mat of the book is more impor tant. In time for fall "We won't publish unless the old one can be improved upon," he said. He did express confidence that the booklet will come out in time for the fall registration. The executives desire a booklet with "more subjectivity and live liness, without irresponsiblity in . the evaluations," Pokorny said. Origer said he was willing to undertake the project in Decem ber. In an interview with Schulze, he was told he would be contacted later in the year. Pokorny called him last Tuesday and the three met last Friday. Time-lapse troubles Origer objects to this lapse of time, which he blames on the ex ecutives. Since, the December meeting, guidelines and a general frame work for the booklet committee to follow have been worked out by Pokorny and Schulze. It is the executives' hope that with the editors pursuing a gen eral framework in their own way that the booklet can be a means for affecting change in the Uni versity community. Show what we want' "We want to show faculty mem bers what we want in an instruc tor in the classroom situation not what we already have," Pokorny said. Origer commented that those ideas and others of the executives are good, but that some would be difficult to implement. One idea Pokorny and Schulze would like; to see effected is the inclusion of evaluations by gradu ate assistants and students. 'More subjective' Their evaluations would be more subjective and less intimi dated than those of most under graduates, Pokorny said. "I'd hate to play with their football after they've let the air out of it," Origer said, referring to what he sees as a failure by the executives to provide contin uity in the committee. The previous two booklets were headed by single chairmen. Pokorny said that because the job of publishing has proven to be too large a work load for one chairman, the executives are seeking to appoint co-chairmen. One would be in charge of the questionnaire, including composing the questions, distributing the forms and compiling the results from a computer. The other editor's task would be to write the book. His job, as the executives see it, is to de velop a new approach for writing the actual evaluations. Girl enters no plea in marijuana case A University coed bound over to Lancaster District Court for trial last week has entered no plea to the charge of possession of marijuana. Patricia L. Lilly, 18, of Omaha, was arrested Jan. 8 in her room at Love Residence Hall by a State Patrol drug agent and a Lincoln police detective. At her preliminary hearing, Lancaster County Court Judge Ralph Slocum turned down a re quest made by the defense coun sel that charges be dismissed for lack of evidence. Search warrant The State Patrol agent, James L. Divern. testified that Miss Lilly gave him a plastic bag contain ing marijuana when she was con fronted with a search warrant and asked if she had any mari juana in her room. According to Divern, Miss Lilly Statement backs in open house by Mark Gordon Senior Staff Writer A statement supporting the principle behind Harper Hall's resolution defying University open house policy was unanimously passed Thursday by the Inter Dormitory Association (IDA) Council. The statement also resolved to protect any member resident or dormitory from prosecution under the controversial open door policy. Introduced by S e 1 1 e c k IDA member Mike Eyster, the state ment of policy, also requested the faculty committee on student affairs to consider rescinding the open door regulation of the new open house policy. I Against article five The statement resolved that ". . . IDA reaffirms its previous resolutions on open house policy by fully supporting the principles of action taken by . . . Harper Hall and that the IDA will use all legal channels to protect any resi dent of a member dormitory or the dormitory itself from prosecu tion under article five." The open door policy, article five of the stipulations passed earlier by the subcommittee on student activities, states: "All doors except those of resi dents absent from the floor dur ing the open house must remain open and those residents leaving I Unopposed candidates run in IDA Bruce Bailey, Cather Hall presi dent and Mike Eyster, Selleck Quad president, will run unop posed for Inter-Dormitory Associ ation (IDA) president and vice president, respectively, in Fri day's executive elections. IDA president Brian Ridenour made the announcement at Thurs day's IDA Council meeting and said the two residence hall exe cutives would run on a ticket. A junior architecture major from Omaha, Bailey is currently chairman of the ASUN executive committee on Student Senate election evaluation. Eyster, a sophomore history major, is an IDA representative from Selleck and a member of the ASUN committee headed by Bailey. Following last week's IDA meet ing, Tom Briggs, chairman of the IDA administrative coordinating committee, reported he was re signing from IDA claiming the or ganization failed to support Harp er Hall "the way it should have" in its three-fold statement of pol icy. Briggs had earlier reported to the Council his committee was a "gross failure" during the past year. In other IDA business, Ride nour said Schramm Hall, the lone residence hall among t h e new three-dormitory complex that has not voted on IDA member ship would vote on joining IDA Monday. told him she had obtained the marijuana in Omaha over Christ mas vacation and had agreed to pay an unnamed friend $10 for it. Furthermore, Divern said that Miss Lilly told him she had smoked marijuana only once since her return to the campus after the vacation. Offered to others Divern added that Miss Lilly had revealed to him that she had offered the marijuana to four other students but that they had all re fused. Divern testified that at the po lice department Miss Lilly was granted her request to call a priest after the arrest. Miss Lilly was released on $1, 000 bond, She has been bound over to Lancaster District Court for triaL the floor must register their ab sence with the responsible offic er." Intermittent applause In passing two motions and re jecting a proposal to omit the statement's second clause, the Council's discussion was inter rupted by intermittent bursts of applause from the more than 100 spectators mostly from Harper Hall. . The lengthy debates over the three motions revolved around those supporting Harper Hall's ac tions and the Abel-Sandoz IDA delegation. During a Feb. 4 Harper II a 1 1 open house, the dormitory refused to enforce the open door policy after the Harper Student Senate passed a motion announcing its intentions to openly violate the policy. Report submitted A report submitted to the Office of Student Affairs last week by Harper residence director Allen Olsen named 332 Harper residents who violated the policy, an in formed source told the Daily Nebraskan last week. G. Robert Ross, dean of stu dent affairs, said Sunday that his office is hopeful of resolving the cases of those whose names were submitted to him for vilat ing the polcy. He said he was unprepared to Who will be . . . The ideal Ideal Nebraska Coed finalists are 1. to r.: M. Rose, G. Skin ner, M. McMaster, N. Neumeister, M. Jorgensen, K. Keuster. K. Augustin, S.

Harper struggle make any further statements con cerning possible disciplinary ac tions that could be initiated against the more than 95 per cent of the hall residents. Mass violation Ross said the student af fairs staff discussed the matter last yeek and talked with Allen Olsen, Harper Hall residence di rector, about the mass violation. Ross added that the student af fairs staff has not met personal ly with any of the violators. Channels exhausted At the meeting Harper Presi dent Bill Chaloupka said the hall decided on radical action be cause all existing channels wer exhausted. Richard Page, A b e 1 Sandoz IDA member, introduced a motion to abolish the policy's second resoltuion. "All the channels haven't been exhausted," Page said in claim ing the IDA should work with ad 'mircistration officials in respon sible manner. After the two-hour meeting at the Harper-Smith-Schramm d i n ing area, both Chaloupka and Page said they were satisfied with the entire statement. In other open house matters, IDA vice president Dave Shonka said a petition denouncing article five has been signed by 71 resi dents of Abel Nine. NU coed t
