Shouts and denunciations rang
from Hyde Park Thursday as topics
ranged from the ROTC program
to a pro and con debate on Fidel
Castro.
The three-hour long session
featured a verbal blasting by
freshman Elbert Hill on
discrimination at the University.
The usually peaceful discussion
turned into more than one shouting
match as Hyde Park wore on.
THURSDAY'S MEETING of stu

Women apparently take a much
more positive view of the job of
student assistant than do their male
counterparts.
Female SA's were mostly quite
unwilling to discuss the serious
problems perhaps because they
seem to have less problems of a
serious nature than do males;
perhaps just because they are
simply unwilling to discuss it
frankly.
Females seem more prone to
discuss being friends with the
residents, counseling new students
and being an all-around social
director for their floor than drink
ing problems and marijuana.
THE PROBLEMS most brought
out by women are untangling floor
factions (cliques), orienting fresh

One graduate assistant at Pound
Hall puts it this way: "Your first
'job' is just being a person . . .
and sometimes I wish the SA signs
weren't on the door."
Asked if graduate students need
a student assistant as much as
undergrads, the same SA replied,
"More so . . . they're more catty,
more cruel and in some ways more
infantile."
"I've been called 'mother' by
some freshmen", said another
Pound student assistant. Many SA's
report that they are often a sort
of 'mother symbol' for new coeds.
One SA typified the difference
between freshman and up

EDITOR'S NOTE This is the
second of a two-part analysis on
student assistants in the
University's dorms. The first dealt
with SA's in male dorms. This will
explore the distaff side of the
question. The writer interviewed
over two dozen female SA's, who
requested their names not be
used.
her and asked, "Do you get paid
for looking after us?"
Another SA put her role this way:
"(An SA) . . . should be the one
person who has rapport with all
39 students, so that if someone has
no other friend on the floor, the
SA is one."
Added another, "Suddenly I've
got 38 new friends."
SOME MALE SA's in the past
have resigned their jobs because
they didn't believe they could carry
out administration policy. "I just
can't picture a girl SA doing this."
responded one female SA when told
this. "I don't know why, I just
can't."
"Because we're chicken," quip
ped another.
She was joking, but there seems
to bs an honest difference between
the way males and females look
at their jobs.
The females are much less prone
to the soul-searching which is
typical among male SA's. The
women disregard their role as
policeman for the administration as
a very minor and inconsequential
part of the job.
"I don't think the administration
Is psking me to be a policeman,
just responsible," said one second
year SA. "Well always be
policemen to lome students,"
remarked another. "It depends on
how the students want to act."
Another pointed out that they
were not being asked to do
anything more than any other con
scientious citizen of the state and
country.
One thing many SA's are agreed
upon is that the image and the
role of the SA and, especially,
Resident Doctors, have changed
a great deal even since most of
them started college.
"I THINK the attitude of the ad
ministration is changing," said an
SA at Sandoz Hall. "They're hiring
younger RD's, carrying out more
orientation and seemingly setting
up an atmosphere in which the
students may soon assume more
of the responsibility of running
their dorms."

ion't think that John Dietz is more
of a man standing alone than all
of you 500 together."
He continued that it was time
for students who did something as
a group last Thursday to do
something on their own.
"There are Negro and foreign
students on this campus who are
lonely," he said. "If you really
believe in what you marched for
last week, you will go out of your
way to make personal contact with
these people."

every time I hear it," said Coach
Bob Devaney, "so this week I'm

The Huskers should be at full

fracture. His status is
listed as doubtful.

Budget request to

University officials are expected
to make public Monday their Leg

next biennium, according to a
University spokesman.
The budget proposal is expected
to be announced at the Board of

a.m.
The University informed the
Nebraska Department of
Administrative Serivces in Sep

person to the institution's Lincoln-Omaha-outstate
work forces from
July 1, 1969, to June 30, 1971, and
allowing for the average 9 per cent
annual salary increases, the
Legislature will be asked to in

million.

be next Monday at 8 p.m. and he
urged "anyone interested to at

student concern, was explained by
ASUN president Craig Dreeszen.
He explained that the National

He said that ASUN is urging the

the Legislature deems it necessary
to cut back the level of dollar
assistance to public schools.
Also in the biennium ahead will
be two years of state aid payments
to cities and counties cositng about
$10 million per year. Currently $10
million of aid is paid for only one
year in the biennium.
THE DOUBLING of state aid is
being asked by municipal
authorities who say the state should
assume a greater share of local
government financing, placing
emphasis on fire and police protec
tion. The $19.2 million requested by
the University, the $25 million in
crease for state aid to schools and
the $10 million increase in state
aid to cities and counties combines
to over $54 million more being
sought from the Legislature.
