Junto' Staff Writer
A new view on the war was
given in Thursday's Hyde
Park by a speaker from the
International Volunteer Ser
vice in Vietnam. He gave his
opinion on the war in rela
tion to Vietnamese society.
Eugene Stolzfus. who
spent from 1963 to 1967 in
the program which is like
that of the Peace Corps, ex
plained his reasons for no
longer supporting the Ameri
can position there.
He noted that his presence
was forcing the Vietnamese
to make a life or death de
cision between governments
vhen it should be based on
something else. "I did not

reeszen calls grading change
most pressing
by Jan Parks
Senior Staff Writer
The most pressing respon
sibility of Student Senate is to
resolve the problem created
by Faculty Senate's change in
the University grading sys
tem, ASUN President-elect;
Craig Dreeszen said Thurs-j
day.
Faculty Senate's action was
taken without consulting stu-j
ucma, it i center niaifeu,
'and is a denial of all our at
tempts this year to involve
students in University deci
sions." Special session
Newly elected first vice
presidetn Mike Naeve pointed
out that the problem will first
be dealt with by the present
Senate. Senators will discuss
the ramifications of the Fa
culty Senate's decision in a
Kupcial session Fridav. he
said.
Both Dreeszen and Naeve I
agreed that Wednesday's elec-
tion was especially significant !
in the passage of the Student j
Academic Freedom document, j
"The SAF document will be !
the basis for much of nextl
vear's Senate legislation,"
Kaeve stated.
The first vice-president j
noted that the two major Sen-'
atonal bills dealing witn stu
dent publications and disci
plinary procedures will be af
fected by the passage of the
SAF document.
"These two bills have

stand in the way any long
er." Men feel locked in
Explaining that the young
men in the rural areas feel
locked in a cycle and want a
way out, he added that they
have a few alternatives to
change their way of life.
They could join the Army,
said Stolzfus, but in Vietna
mese society this is the low
est position possible.
So someone from a neigh
boring village stops him and
says. "Come with us; we'll
give you a part in the future
of the country."
Because of this situation.
Stolzfus stated tthat it was
"a very human tiling to be
been waiting for a vehicle to
put them into action." Naeve
explained.
Appoint committee
Assuming that the SAF doc
ument is approved by Facul
ty Senate and the Board ofi
Regents, a committee will bej
appointed to evaluate and I
compare the SAF document in ;
relation to administrative pol- j
icies, Dreeszen said. i
"This committee will start
studying how a reconciliation
can be made between provi
sions ot me s.r aocumeni
and Univeristy regulations."!
the president-elect explained.!
Regulations should De
changed or revised to comply
with the SAF document, he
said.
Race relations
Dreeszen pointed out that a
race relations committee will
be organized this spring to
prevent the duplication of stu
dent efforts to improve race
relations.
"Although the duties of this
committee are not j et clearly !
defined, the committee will j
help co-ordinate and stimulate
the work of other groups in I
race relations." !
Student government can !
help such groups as the Wes
ley Foundation and the group
of students concerned with
open housing organized by Bob
Ginn and John Hughes. ASUN
finances and organization can
aid these groups, be explained.
More minority students
Naeve noted that the com
mittee will be involved with
recruiting minority groups to
the campus. "We should re
cruit others from minority
groups than just athletes," he
said, "to improve the quality
of the student tody and to
solve some of the problems in
race relations.
Dreeszen commented that
he has no qualms about lack
ol continuity in Senate due to
the s m a 11 number of re
elected senators.
"Many of the new senators
have had some sort of exper
ience with student govern
ment, Dreezsen noted, "as ex
perience on ASUN commit
tees." 'One of stroug points
Naeve called the experience
of the newly elected execu
tives "one of the strong points
of the new Senate."
Volunteer presents
Vietnamese society
come involved with the Viet
Cong.'
Stolzfus notes reasons
Stolzfus noted that the ma
jor reasons he d e c i d e d to
leave Vietnam and disasso
ciate himself from American
policy were the use of herbi
cides and defoliants and the
refugee problem.
He said althought the first
did not necessarily destroy
the land permanently, it re
sulted in the country people
being able to produce only
half of what might otherwise
be possible.
The refugee problem con
cerned him more. The idea
behind the "stragic" or "new
life hamlets" was to make
issue
"All three of the new ex
ecutives have been working
with Senate all year," he asid.
"so the new Senate should
have no problem continuing
Senate projects this year nad
initiating new legislation."
Praising the quality of lead
ership in the newly elected
Senate, Dreezsen pointed out
that "some very good people
were not elected Wednesday.
We'll still take advantage of
what they and many other
capable students have to of
fer by getting them involved
in Senate." he said.
The president - elect de
scribed the student party sys
tem as helpful. "In this elec
tion the parties helped define
the issues and helped voters
understand the candidate's
stand," Dreezsen sadi.
Involve with NSA
Another important objective
of Senate this spring will be
to actively involve Senate with
the National Student Associa
tion, Dreezsen said.
"We need to establish a re
lationship and decide which
programs we participate in,"
he noted.

Leadership disrupted
He added that it did achieve
this, but in the process dis
rupted the leadership struc
ture, family life, and econ
omic basis of rural Vietnam.
"And by moving people's
living conditions," stated
Stolzfus, "you don't change
their minds."
In answering a question
from the audience concern
ing the Viet Cong's attempts
to influence the people, he
added, that "they have more
authority than I" to be do
ing this.
for ASUN
University students ap
prove ASUN's membership in

with NSA because "they have
received only a token of what
they wanted from member

"Next year will be a trial
year for NSA membership,"
Naeve explained.
Several educational projects
need to be "wrapped up" this
spring. Dreezsen said, as he
specified a need for an evalu
ation of the Nebraska Free
University.
Further action should be
promoted in conjunction to
the Pass-Fail proposal, Naeve
said, "especially in the light
of the decision made by Fa
culty Senate Tuesday."
Naeve noted that recom
mendations made by Senate
needed the approval of the Fa

Charles Marxer brought up
the question of how the Viet
namese viewed us. Stolzfus
noted that he found a con
fusion between the role of the
Americans and the earlier
French role, especially in
rural areas. Most people don't
see much difference, he said.
He was quick to point out
that many urban people do
understand our commitment
there as a focal point in Chi
nese containment but further
think they can do it better.
They have been containing
the Chinese for 1000 years and
trying to do it for 2000, said
Stolzfus, and the trend now,
because of this fact, is to
criticize us for our efforts
when they know more about
the situation.

immediate concerns of the
Senate, Dreezsen explained.
The educational conference
will be to expose students to
ideas that Susie Phelps en
countered in New Hampshire
at a conference on student
involvement in educational re
forms, Dreezsen said.
The conference, to be at
tended by students involved in
educational projects, will be
similar to a workshop, the
president-elect explained.
Concerning the campus
parking problem. Dreezsen
stressed the need for qualified
people to "seriously look into
answers to the University's
parking problem."

McCarthy
by Mark Gordon
Senior Staff Writer
Minnesota Sen. Eugene Mc
Carthy said during his visit
to Lincoln this week that he
favored lowering the legal
voting age "to 18 or 19 or
whenever they start asking
the right question."
The presideniail aspirant
opened his Lincoln campaign
with the statement to news
men. "I think you people are ask
ing the right questions and
some of you are asking bet
ter questions than older peo
ple." he said in response to
an inquiry concerning a low
ered voting age.
McCarthy's first Lincoln ap
pearance failed to generate
the mass enthusiastic throng
of two weeks ago that greeted
the Minnesota senator's rival
for the Democratic presiden
tial nomination New York
Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
150 greet McCarthy
Approximately 150 support
ers, according to an estimate
made by a McCarthy spokes
man, greeted the Minnesotan
upon his arrival from Omaha.
Although the Minnesota sen
ior senator did not make nay
major policy statements, he
touched upon issues ranging
upcoming presidential primar
ies. He called the recent mass
'hog killings used as protest
j a g a i n s t decreasing meat
prices an indication of what
! occurs when the government
i fails to develop a program for
1 any group of Americans and
j said a sound farm program
I should be developed.

White received his Bache

1948 and his law degree from

White has since served as
counsel for the Tennessee
Valley Authority, a member
of Sen John F. Kennedy's
staff and later in the White
House as the chairman of a

He also served as special

In responding to speculation
that Vice President Hubert
Humphrey, another former
Minnesota senator, might en
ter the bidding for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination
McCarthy said Humphrey's
possible introduction into the
campaign would complicate
matters "a little more for Mr.
Kennedy than for me."
"He has had to adjust more
since his campaign was di
rected more towards Presi
dent Johnson than mine was,"
McCarthy said in explaining'
that his campaign would con- J
tinue without a noticeable
change if Humphrey enters.
Death causes action
Martin Luther King's death !
caused the United States
House to act qucker on the
passage of the civil rights bill
which was adopted early
Wednesday afternoon before
the .Senator's arrival in the
Capital City, McCarthy said.
"His unfortunate death
eases the way to possibly
more civil rights legislation,"
he explained.
