reached its "first mini-controversy"
of the semester in the standoff
between Dreezen and the Senate
at Uednesday's Senate meeting.
"SOMETHING, one way or
another is going to happen with this
thing," he said.
He told the Daily Nebraskan
later that he meant the Senate may
organize to override Dreeszen's
veto of the resolution which passed
on a roll call vote of 18-15.
Senate passed the postponement
resolution after 45 minutes of
debate, agreeing that the program
of student seminars might
jeopardize the passage of the pro
posed Nebraska constitutional
amendnment to give 19-year-olds
the vote.
Dreeszen vetoed the resolution
immediately after the session ad
journed. Chaplouka said he is not
personally organizing a move to
override the veto. He said,
however, that other senators may
take that action.
If "Time Out" does go on as
scheduled, Chaplouka said he will
personally help make it a success
and he expects other senators to do
the same.
The leaders in the move to
postpone "Time Out" until after the
Nov. 5 elections include Dave
Piester, Chaplouka and Dave Lan

Park audience that he'd come to

talk and think and change minds.

Group makes recommendations . .
i til ft
suggests
by Jim Evinger
Senior Writer ,
The state of Nebraska is overdue
for a council to coordinate higher
education in the state, according to
the Governor's Little Hoover Com
mission report.
The report, released this month,
calls for a State Council on Higher
Education to coordinate all post
high school educational activities in
Nebraska.
A PROPOSAL was also made to
eliminate the State Normal Board
by expanding the University Board
of Regents to govern the state col
leges at Wayne, Chadron, Peru and
Kearney,
Private industry executives in the
state formed the Commission which
spent 10 weeks reviewing state
government practices.
"From the point of view of the
total scope of college education in
Nebraska the overriding limitation
is the lack of comprehensive plan
nine. the report stated.
"A coordinated approach toward
statewide institutional planning
seems overdue, the Commission
concluded. It envisions a Couiyil on
Higher Education to coorfiiii'ui ihe
facilities at the University of
Nebraska, the state colleges, the
matter with Chaplouka.
"My reaction is hooray for Craig
Dreeszen," the student said. He
added that he thought the Senate
was "being ridiculous and petty."
The Senate's opposition to the
'Time Out date' "is not a matter of
trying to shut anybody down, it is a
matter of trying to get 19 voting
passed," Chaplouka said.
"Nineteen voting could make a
great deal of difference for the
state of Nebraska and if it has to be
guarded in a pragmatic, political
way then I think we should guard it
in a pragmatic, political way," he
said.
THE DIRECTOR of the poll, Dr.
Carroll McKibbin, assistant pro
fessor of political science, predicted
on the basis of the poll that the
amendment would easily pass
throughout the state.
Chaplouka said he objected to the
"Time Out" program, also,
because "we don't have a program
of stature."
He noted that there is no single
speaker scheduled for the con
ference and that classes have not
been officially dismissed for the
day, as suggested by the National
Student Association, which is
sponsoring the day on a national
basis.
He also noted that only three
student organizations have an
nounced they'll present programs
on the day. Those groups, ac
cording to Dreeszen's Wednesday
executive report, are the Draft
Resistance Union, Nebraskans for
Young Adult Sufferage (NFYAS)
and the Biafran Student Association.
problem bothering the whole
university right now the lack of
communication between the
students and the administrators.
There is talk, he said, but no com
munication. "IT'S BECOMEthe thing to do to
ask students what they think, but I
wish they'd (the administration)
start listening to what we're
saying. They seem to be operating
under the assumption that there's
some sort of conspiracy going on to
destroy the university."
He cited examples of the ad
ministration alerting the national
guard because of a conference on
student political power on campus
and the Regents refusing to speak
to the students about Time-Out, as
examples of the administration
refusing dialogue with the
students.
"People like the Regents and the
office of Student Affairs are so
sensitive to student action that they
are suspicious of everything that
happens and1 there's been a real
breakdown in trust."

Until such a plan is developed,
there should be a temporary halt of
all new capital construction at
Nebraska's four state colleges, the
Commission said.
The recommendation was also
made that until a comprehensive
plan is adopted there should be a
prevention of the consolidation of
junior colleges -with the University
and there should be no new state
snpported colleges or
universities.
The statement reflects the in
creasing number of proponents in
the state for a consolidation of
higher education.
Last May three McCook Junior
College representatives led by
President Al Kuper asked the
University of Nebraska to consider
a proposal to merge McCook with
the University.
AT THE TIME the proposal h-&s
made, the Board of Regents
delayed opinion on the merger but
directed its legal staff to draft a
legislative proposal.
McCook sought affiliation with

Nebraska, still smar from

THE TIGERS, coached by
Dan Devine, sport a 3-1 record,
having beaten Illinois, Army

back to Kentucky in their
opener.
D e vine's defense-oriented
club will operate from the new
"I" formation offensively with
quarterback Terry McMillan
the triggerman. The new of
fensive installment is expected
to feature more finesse and less
power than previous Devine
teams.
The Buskers dipped to a 6-4
record last season as Devaney

but withdrew the proposal when the
Legislature voted state aid to two
year schools.
"Coordination of all post-high
school state-supported institutions
becomes necessary as the cost of
education increases and academic
programs become responsive to
changes in the needs of the state.
the Commission stated.
Another major suggestion pro
posed was that the Legislature
provide funds for the establishment
f a professional business manage
ment consultant "to analyze in
depth fte business organization,
staff and operations of the
University at all locations.
"There seems to be some
organizational shortcomings in
regard to business matters. the
Commission concluded.
The University was named as
having, compared with other Big
raght schools, "less than adequate
supporting staff in relation to the
operating departments.
"Due to the 1 a c k of sufficient
funds, utilization of the University
computer for administrative
purposes has lagged, the Com
mission states. "As a result it has
been difficult to employ and retain
personnel in the computer area."

with defensive back i
bia.
Roger Wehrli gives the
Tigers one of the best defensive
halfbacks in the league. The
two-year starter was named to
every All-Big Eight Conference
team in '67. Explosive, Wehrli
scored on a 64-yard punt return
against SMU and a 96-yard
kickoff runback against Iowa
State last year.
NEBRASKA sends two of the
league's top rushers into the
Missouri game. All-Big Eight
fullback Dick Davis ranks fifth
and halfback Joe Orduna, who
scored both NU touchdowns
against Kansas, rates seventh
in rushing totals.
Missouri is expected to
counter with the likes of
halfbacks Jon Staggers, the
villain in last year's tussle who
snagged the winning touchdown
pass, fullback Ron McBride
and halfback Greg CooL
Elmer Benhardt and Bill
Schmltt combine for the fifth
straight set of tough defensive
ends Nebraska must face.
Other Big Eight action sends
Iowa State to Oklahoma,
Kansas State to Colorado and
Oklahoma State to Kansas.

THE COMMISSION also recom
mended the Student Health center
be placed on a financially self-supporting
basis by increasing student
fees.
Also proposed were annual boosts
in dormitory and dining hall rates
charged students to more- ac
curately reflect actual costs.
The Commission also made
several recommendations
regarding the state-supported col
leges and junior colleges. Included
was a proposal that the state col
leges utilize University data pro
cessing equipment for registration,
grade reports and student
recording purposes, ending the
need for duplicate processing
equipment on college campuses.
Until mch a plan is de
veloped, there should be
a temporary halt of all

colleges, the Commission
said.
