If
lonwide 'Time Out '-what's happening in America?
by Jim Evinger
Senior Writer
A day of nation-wi student
concern is being called by the Na
tional Student Association for Oc
tober 29, with the University being
one of 30 participating schools
across the nation.
The day, named -Time Out," is
aimed at stopping students for one
day to formulate their ideas about
what is happening nationally and
locally in the areas of politics,
social issues and educational needs,
according to Craig Dreeszen, ASUN
president.
DREESZEN said professors are
being urged to suspend their
classes that day so students may
participate in the day's program.
A series of lectures, teach-ins,
movies and sessions are being plan
ned with help from NSA, The
University, designated as a na-
tional host school, is being given
NSA staff and financial aid,
Dreeszen said.
He indicated several campus
organizations are scheduled to put
on programs in line with the theme
of "Time Out"
The Afro-American Collegiate
Society, Nebraska Draft Resistance
Union and several others have ex
pressed a desire to sponsor pro
grams that day.
Dreeszen encouraged students
interested in presenting a program
to attend a meeting at 7 p.m.
Thursday in the ASUN office, room
335, Nebraska Union.
TENTATIVE AGREEMENTS to
attend "Time Out" have been given
by First District Congressional
candidates Clair Call an and Bruce
Hamilton. Dreeszen said they are
being asked to listen and respond
to student opinions, rather than
formally speak.
Invitations are being sent to the
Chancellor and members of the
Board of Regents to participate in

a dialogue with students about
education. Dreeszen hoped they
would answer questions about the
students' role in formulating
decisions at the University .
NSA is trying to arrange a na
tionally known speaker to appear
at the University, Dreeszen said.
"This past year has been a
frustrating one for students. On
campuses, in political conventions,
in the communities, we have asked
to be heard, and we have been
rejected," staled Robert Powell,
president of NSA.
NSA has set aside October 29
nationally as -"a day that students
around the nation declare "Time
Out,' so that we can confront
squarely the issues that are im
portant to us," Powell stated.
Student Senate passed a resolu
tion last week urging University
students to participate in the series
of programs relevant to all students
and society.

Students indicated some of their

committee last week, Humlicek
said.
Response to the NFU thus far
has been excellent, he continued.
Registration is slated for the week
of October 20. A booklet, available
the weekend before registration,
will explain courses in detail.

However, classes need not always
center on discussion alone. Students
responding to the questionnaire in
dicated interest in photography,
classical guitar, yoga and
astronomy. A "learn by doing'
approach may be used in classes
such as these.
The NFU needs students and
course leaders, Humlicek said. The
only real qualification for a leader
is a sincere interest in the subject,
although background and
experience are helpful.
Most NFU course leaders are
professors or other adults. However

students, loo, are eligible, Humlicek
said.
While the NFU committee will
propose and organize courses as
before, interested students or
groups may now initiate courses
on their own.
Anyone interested in any type of
class may leave his name and
phone number on a bulletin board
near the Union lounge, Humlicek
said.
Passersby who see a course
which interests them on the bulletin
board may also leave their name.
The NFU committee win then
assist these interested groups
setting up the course.

The ASUN Wednesday
elected two senators from the
Graduate and Professional
College and approved three
senators to interview

applicants.
Faced with five applications
for senator from the Graduate
College, the senate elected
Gerald W. Olson and Nancy
Ryan.
OLSOX, A GRADUATE
student in the department of
- economics, was a senator and
unsuccessfully ran for the
second vice president in the
spring of 1967.
Olson feels that the
University should not build
living units when there is no
demand and then provide the
supply of students to fill the
units.
Miss Ryan, a first .year
graduate student in English,
received her bachelor degree
from Emmanuel College in
Boston, Mass. She empha
sized her desire to get to
know Nebraskans. The editor
of her college newspaper
promised to help answer the
questions, where student pow
er does come from and fol
lowing where students rights
come from.
The senate approved Diane
Thiesen, Curt Donaldson, and
Bob Zncker to Interview ap
plicants for the pub board.

ZUCKER, WHO introduced
the resolution, explained that

the amendment from the Na
tional Student Association
i(NSA).. He felt the ASUN
formal approval of the
amendment would make help
more readily available from

Larry Anderson and Tom
Morgan suggested that
senators also consider other
amendments for the
November 5 election, notably
the change in the structure
of the Regents and the incoma
tax proposals.
ASUN is also considering
setting aside October 29 as
a day for thought and self
commitment. The event has
been named "Time Out" by
the NSA to underscore the
necessity for students and the
nation to stop and clarify
their goals and views.
The director of services for
NSA will be on campus Mon
day to help students under

Zucker. He will be available

University faculty members
should "come out of their ivory
towers" and begin to exhibit
leadership befitting professors, ac
cording to Ivan Volgyes, assistant
professor of political science.
No organized faculty group exists
to help solve the problems of the
University community, Volgyes
said.
Students need help with their
problems and in tlwir fight against
racism, he said. For intance, no
faculty group helped students with
their march on City Han.
TO HELP remedy this situation,
he proposed at Tuesday afternoon's
Faculty Senate meeting the forma
tion of an ad hoc advisory com
mittee on human rights.
The faculty has not become in
volved with such problems for a
variety of reasons, Volgyes said.
"There are pressures to publish
and pressures to teach," h e
acknowledged and professors are
busy with various organizations.
In the process, the faculty has
forgotten their fellow bimu
beings, he said. He added that
students should also view the
faculty as human beings. -
: in the ' words f VolgyEs' resolu
tion, "The Faculty Senate ihould
declare their concern regarding the
guarantee of human rights for all
citizens and specifically for the
University community.'"
Duties of the advisory committee
on human rights should include:
Collection and analysis of rele
vant information concerning human
rights problems.
Presentation of recommenda
tions to decision malting bodies to
implement existing policies.
Establishment of new policies
to accomodate the changing needs
of the University community.
INITIAL CONCERN of the com
mittee should be to help black
students and athletes who are, in
many cases, being mistreated,
Volgyes charged.

The committee should focus on
a much broader scope of activites
and not stick to problems such as
dormitory hours, he continued.
The committee should be con
cerned with injustices and human
rights in general, he urged.
The motion proposing the com
mittee was "well received, ac
cording to Volgyes. All comments
were favorable.
Volgyes envisions a committee
composed of three representatives
from each of the decision making
bodies on campus Student Sen
ate, Faculty Senate and Administration.
No action on the motion can be
taken until the next Faculty Senate
meeting on Nov, 5. At that time,
he hopes the resolution would be
approved. He also wants the Senate
to agree on procedures for
nominating prospective committee
members.
Student senate hopefully will head
open elections to place members
on the committee which should be
open to all students and faculty,
he said.
Although several Faculty Senaie
committees perform some duties
which would be entrusted to the
-new ad hoc group, no faculty
human rights committee has ever
existed at the University, according
to Volgyes.
