Selective Service
Teacher deferments
must be essential
In spite of the suspension of
the use of an essential ac
tivities and critical occupa
tions list, teacher deferments
will not be automatically re
classified, according to the
Nebraska State Headquarters
of the Selective Service Sys
tem. Li Gen. Guy Henninger,
State Director of the Selec
tive Service, stated in a com
munique that a teacher must
furnish "valid information" to
prove that he is essential to
the scholastic community be
fore he will be granted a
deferment under the new rul
ing. The four points that a lo
cals board should consider
when deciding whether a
teacher should be granted a
deferment are, 1 according to
Henninger:
1) Is the registration under
contract for the coming aca
demic year;
2) Would the removal of the
registrant from his teaching
position cause a "material
loss of effectiveness" in the
school system;

Bob Erickson and Tom
Kay will present a showing
of their films Thursday and
Friday afternoon in the Shel

The program, The Cinema
Underground, will consist of
three films produced over the
last year according to Erick
son. The showing will last ap
proximately 45 minutes.
The first film, entitled
"Projections," was filmed a
year ago and features an
original sound track compos
ed by University student
Dave Landis. The track is
performed by a jazz quartet
of student musicians.

"In other Words, if a stu

Registrants graduating this
summer and seeking de
ferments to begin teaching
next fall are advised:
1) To have themselves phy
sically examined in order to
screen out those who are not
acceptable, and,
2) To require a superinten

Henninger closed his ad
ministrative bulletin with a
request that local boards give
serious consideration to teach

Baroque oboe concerto.
The final film was finished
last month and employs both
black - and - white and color
footage. Entitled "Thoreau,"
the movie is a reflection up
on the relevance of Thoreau's
"Walden" to modern life.
The films are all eight mil
limeter, and most of the
scenes were shot in or near
Lincoln.
Erickson said that the films
are experimental and tend to
allow many new directions in
cinematography.
Erickson expressed the
hope that this showing might
help increase student interest
in film-making on the Uni
versity campus next fall.

Landis said he had received
support on the idea from Pro
fessors Dewey of philosophy,
Thorpe of physiology and
Beggs of Teachers College.
"The purpose of a course is
to disseminate knowledge,
Landis said. "If a student can
gain an 'A,' he should receive
an 'A' for a grade."
Landis recommended that
the Senate act quickly in or
der to present the measure to
the newly created Student-
Faculty Grading Committee
for action before summer
school. , .
The motion supporting a
quarter system, presented by
Senator Mary McClymont,
asked the Student Senate to
advocate adoption of the sys
tem to replace the present
semester system.
Senator McClymont's reso
lution was presented along
with a report from the Facul
ty Calendar committee,
which discussed the merits
and demerits of the present
system, the quarter system
and the trimester plan.
Both this resolution and the
grade average resolution will
be voted on at the Senate
meeting Wednesday.
In other action, the Senate
approved a motion to allow

creasing, Walsh said, salar
ies are still a main factor
The anthropology department
has had relatively first-class
faculty members, and the
University must either give
them -more money . to - hold
them or let them go, he add
ed.
Unfortunately, the trend
has still been to let them go,
Walsh said.
The department is planning
a Ph.D. program, but it can
not get under way until they
can get permanent people to
staff the program, he added.
The department of chem
istry does not have a turn
over problem among its fac
ulty, according to Lee
Graham, the department ad
ministrative assistant.
"The staff has remained
pretty stable," he said. "It's
a going and growing outfit,
and they don't seem to have
any disappointments about
the department," he said.
He said that the new facili
ties will help relieve the un
derstaffing problem as it ex
ists for current faculty mem
bers who put in long hours.
The department has actual
ly had people say that they
would prefer to be here than
at any of the Big 10 schools,
he added.
Dudley Baily, chairman of
the English department, said
the turnover among the ten
ured staff has amounted to
five or six members over the
past 15 years.
However, the resignations
among instructors have been
sizeable, he said, and this is
expected because instructors
are ot hired with the view
that they will remain here
permanently.
Baily added that the de
partment has had better luck
in retaining more of its staff
because of the high morale
in the department.
The main reason for any
resignations which have oc
curred, he said, is that fac
ulty members have received
immensely attractive offers
that they could not possibly
turn down. In no case has
anyone left because he was
unhappy with the University.
James Blackman, associate
dean of the College of En
gineering and Architecture,
also said that the turnover
problem there has been neg
ligible because the college
has been able to get some
lines on the University bud
get allowing for increased
salaries. . . .

Problems
of ROTC
studied
New Brunswick, N. J. (CPS)
A student-faculty commit
tee at Rutgers University has
recommended that "political
ly sensitive material" covered
in ROTC courses be taught by
university teachers rather
than ROTC instructors.
The recommendation was
one of four made by the com
mittee, which was set up to
study the ROTC program at
Rutgers after last November's
student demonstration against
the military presence on cam
pus. The other recommenda
tions include:
Rutgers' appointments
and promotions committee
should review the qualifica
tions of all ROTC instructors.
Credit for ROTC courses
should be allotted a semester
a time.
The university should re
main neutral on the question
whether or not students
should enroll in ROTC.
Three members of the 18-
man committee dissented
from its report, saying that
its recommendations were too
limited.
One of the dissenters, Sey
mour T. Zenchelsky, profes
sor of chemistry, said the
recommendations do not deal
with the "paramount problem
of ROTC," which he described
as the "subversion of the uni
versity by a staff whose pri
mary mission is recruiting
and indoctrination." He said
the report "merely mitigates
some of its (ROTC s) more
unsavory aspects."

Gifts and
accepted
The Board of Regents Tues
day accepted a $1,306,392.65
total of gifts and grants do
nated to the University since
March 29, 1968.
The donations, which were
contributed by 50 national and
state organizations and insti
tutions, include a specified
amount of $106,024.50 for re
search grants.
The research grants as well
as the fellowship grants and
special program grants were
all accepted under the recom
mendation of James C. Olson,
vice-chancellor for graduate
studies and research.
In other business, the Board
considered a resolution to
adopt the existing Student
Handbook and Handbook of
Information of the University
of Omaha.
If the Regents accepts this
proposal, these handbooks will
serve as general rules for fac
ulty, staff, and students at the
University of Nebraska at
Omaha until formal rules for
that campus are made a
part of the By-Laws and Rules
oi tne Board of Regents of the
university of Nebraska.
The Regents - accented a
$225,000 grant from the Na
tional Science Foundation to
assist in the renovation of the
areas on the fourth and fifth
floors of Nebraska Hall for
use by the University's state
museum.

Work on the facility, which
is estimated to cost about
$550,000, may begin this sum
mer, according to Carl Don
aldson, business manager.
Two University faculty
members were named Foun
dation professors by the board
bringing to 21 the number of
staff members holding this
distinction.
They are Dr. Paul Olson,
professor of English and di
rector of the Tri-University
Project English at the Univer
sity and Dr. Hazel M. Fox,
professor and chairman of
the department of food and
nutrition.
Dr. Olson, a faculty mem
ber since 1957, has been co
ordinator of the Nebraska En
glish Curriculum Develop
ment Center since its incep
tion in 1962. The Center's pro
gram has attracted nation
wide attention.
Dr. Fox is the author of nu
merous technical papers in
the field of nutrition and has
..I
been a faculty member since
1955.
The Board also approved a
contract modification with the
U.S. Office of Education that
provides $32,478.57 to cover
costs of an educational media
institute for teachers of tha
deaf June 24 to August 2.
The institute will be con
ducted by the Midwest Re
gional Media Center for the
Deaf at the University under
the direction of Dr. Robert
Stepp. .
Thirty teachers of the deaf
will be taking part in the in
stitute, the third conducted at
the University.
The purpose of the institute
is to instruct teachers of the
deaf in the best ways of pre
senting lessons and getting re
sponses from the students.
