Posters advertising the activities
of the Nebraska Draft Resistance
Union are legal, according to the
group's director, Charles Marxer.
The posters, which have ap
peared on bulletin boards around
the campus say, "There are alter
natives to service in the a r m e d
forces."
The advertisements then list
brief information about various de
ferments, becoming a non-coopera-tor

Alabama, she said.
Correspondence recommended
Court of Appeals member Mary
Lund told AWS Congress Thurs

be kept with those universities ex.
ploring new methods for liberaliz
ing women's hours.
For example, she explained, the
University of Iowa will employ a
sophomore and second semester
key system which was instigated
by the university administration.
Illinois State, she pointed out,
abolished all women's hours fol
lowing Spring Vacation this year.

Union is very busy at this time,
Marxer continued. "Currently,
many men are getting their pre
induction physicals," he explained.
Approximately 40 seniors and
first year graduate students have
come to the Draft Union for ad
vice, according to Marxer. Most
are men who do not want to go to
Vietnam, he said.
Information disseminated
For those students who have
questions about their physical con

ascertain the student's chances,
Marxer said.

listed new program ideas includ

upperclassmen would sell their un

and rugs to the incoming fresh
men and a downtown "Discount

Seminar attempted
According to Miss Lund, one uni
versity attempted a ten-day semi

Much can be done by de-emphasizing
the judicial area and expand

AWS Congress secretary J a n a
Miller. Miss Miller also noted that
the IAWS would support the SAF
Doctrine.
Comparing the universities and
colleges at the convention, Jan
McGill, AWS Cabinet member,
said it is rewarding to know the
University of Nebraska AWS is a
strong organization with the priv

legislation.
Miss McGill described the or
ganization as more than a "pow

Betty Bowers also attended the
convention.

said. .
"As far as we can tell, students
have been taking our advice,"
Marxer reported.
He explained that many stu

aily rejects SA

Senior Staff Writer
I n t e r-Dormitory Association
(IDA) President Bruce Bailey an
nounced Thursday that he would
forego a dormitory student assis
tantship post and continue as IDA
President.
Bailey told the IDA Council that
the dormitory organization means
too much to him to resign from
the helm after less than one full
semester as its chief executive.
The IDA constitution prohibits
one person from holding both a
student assistant position and a
dormitory executive office.
Baily said it was a difficult de
cision to make, and he had
thought about it for several weeks.
He said one factor which he
weighed heavily was financial con
siderations since student assis
tants currently receive full room
and board amounting to $800 per
academic year, while present IDA
executive officers receive no fi
nancial remuneration.
"I feel that the time I've spent
and the time of the chairmen that
I've solicited to work with me for
this organization would go down
the drain," the former Cather Hall
president said in explaining his de
cision. "IDA is at an initial point of
standing on its feet, and it is es
sential to continue an unchanged
leadership," he added.
Valley said that he hoped by
sacrificing his student assistant
ship he could work in conjunction
with the IDA committee chairmen
in helping IDA continue to speak
for the residence hall system.
Bailey thus becomes the second
IDA President forced to decide be
tween a student assistantship and
an IDA executive position. One
year ago, the organization's first
leader, John Fryar, resigned the
IDA presidency and accepted a
student assistant post.

Outstanding Nebraskan
Nominations for this semester's two outstanding Nebraskans are
being accepted in the Dally Nebraskan office, room 51 of the Nebraska
Union.
The Outstanding Nebraskan awards are presented each semester
to one outstanding student and one outstanding faculty member. The
winners of these awards will be announced in the final edition of this
semester's Dally Nebraskan on May 8.
Letters of nomination should contain the nominee's qualifications
and the reasons why he should be named as an Outstanding Nebras
kan. The two Outstanding Nebraskans will be selected on a basis of
the nominee's contributions to the University and their qualifications
as ludged by the letter of nomination.
Outstanding Nebraskans of last semester were Al Spangler, ASUN
Senator, and Dr. Campbell R. McConnell, professor of economics and
author of an economics textbook widely used in the teaching of
economics.

IDA position
the Council voted to table a mo
tion which would set up a schol
arship fund for IDA executive of
ficers. The motion, introduced by for
mer IDA Vice President Mike
Eyster, states that a scholarship
fund of $500 for the IDA Presi
dent and $200 for the organiza
tion's vice president should be es
tablished. It further states that the
allocation to each Association dor
mitory should include this mini
mum amount.
He said his introducing the mo
tion stems from a recent Association-wide
election in which dor
mitory residents approved by more
than 250 votes a constitutional
amendments providing for execu
tive officer salaries.
Despite passing by a 594-333
vote, the amendment failed to re
ceive a 15 per cent affirm ative
vote which is required by the IDA
constitution when less than 30 per
Dr. Borchers to attend
biochemistry symposium
Dr. Raymond Borchers, professor
and chairman of the department of
biochemistry and nutrition, has
been selected as one of a hundred
scientists to attend the NATO spon
sored symposium on biochemistry
to be held in Bergan, Norway, May
20-30.
Scientists from NATO member
nations are selected every three
years by a special committee to
attend the symposium. The last
such symposium was held in
Greece in 1965.
The meeting will consist of 44
daytime lectures and 6 evening
forums on molecular reactions in
the cell and what controls them.
According to Borchers, science is
at the point in knowledge of the
cell to know how reactions are con

The defeated amendment would
have provided for the identical sal
aries as is provided for in the ta
bled motion currently under con
sideration. Eyster said the April 10 vote in
dicated the feeling the residents
have for providing executive sal
aries, but it was unfortunate that
enough residents failed to vote.
After the motion was tabled by
Council members, Bailey asked
that IDA representatives seek out
resident opinion on the matter be
fore Thursday night's weekly Coun
cil meeting.
Bailey had no further comment
when asked about his opinion of
the tabled motion.
The IDA President also said he
would appoint a vice president be
fore the next Council meeting who
would be required to receive Coun
cil approval before accepting of

it.

Chancellor
will select
members
Student efforts regarding the
kind of university grading system
in use will be channeled through
the student-faculty committee of
the Faculty Senate, Craig Drees
zen, ASUN president said Sunday.
Dreeszen said committee mem
bers will be chosen this coming
week so that they may begin consid
ering possibilities of further ac
tion in modifying the newly adopt
ed grading system.
Faculty Senate last Thursday
approved a resolution directing the
Senate Committee on Committees
to create a standing committee
with the purpose of evaluating
grading systems and seeking ways
to improve the quality of 'educa
tion as related to this area.
Dreeszen said he will submit a
list of names for possible student
members to the Chancellor, along
with a list of faculty nominated for
membership prepared by Royce
Ronning, chairman of the Commit
tee on Committees. Dreeszen said
the committee members would
then be selected by the Chancellor
this week.
The committee has until May 7
to submit recommendations and
proposals concerning the grading
system. The recommendations
would then be considered in the
May 14 Faculty Senate meeting,
last one of the year.
Dreeszen said he was in favor
of the grading change from the 4
point to the 4.5 letter system be
cause of the "emergency situa
tion" at hand regarding students
grades. He said a large number of
students would be in scholastic
danger if the change was not ef
fected until next fall.
He gave one possibility for con
sideration by the faculty-senate
committee as whether or not to
recommend lowering the mini
mum grade point average to re
main in good scholastic standing.
A 'C average or 2.0 is the cur
rent University minimum.
Ronning said the Committee on
Committees is concerned with
membership of the faculty-student
committee, selection of memben
and the duties of the committee.
The Committee on Committees
will attempt to accomplish those
objectives in the creation of t h e
committee in its regular meeting
scheduled for this Wednesday,
Ronning said.

He added that the subject of cell

and what he is teaching.
