Marsh: possibility of
Appointive status
for 3 state offices
Sometime today a special
Governor's committee will
release a proposal of major
importance, according to
Nebraska Secretary of State
Frank Marsh.
Marsh, speaking at a
meeting of the University
Young Republicans Thursday
night, said that the committee
would recomend that the
State offices of Secretary of
State, Attorney General, and
Auditor be changed from
elective to appointive status.
Under this proposal, the
Governer would appoint these
officials subject to the consent
of the Unicameral, he con
tinued.
mei auulju mat tie was
opposed to this change and
felt that these officials could
act more freely if they were
not dependent on the
Governor for their jobs. As an
example, Marsh cited the re
cent income tax petition drive
which Govenor Tiemann
strongly opposed.
He said that he was able to
act much more freely and
tairiy in tnis case as an
elected official than he could
have in an appointed status.
In other issues, Marsh said
that politics has a constantly
growing effect on everyday
life. He urged his student au
dience not to be apathetic.
"Just because yon do not
like the candidates does not
mean you should give up your
share in democracy," he said.
"I hope that none of you will
go through life looking for the
ideal candidate before you
will vote, because then you
will probably never vote."
He said that this has been a
siam-uang year" in
Nebraska politics. Nebraska
has been in the national
limelight a great deal and
received several million
dollars worth of free ad
venismg Decause of .Its new
political prominence, he add
ed.
New challenges being put to
the state are a very good
thing, Marsh said. They allow
for constant re-evaluation of
lows that may be unclear or
outdated.
THERE IS A problem today
he said, in that election proc
edures in Presidential cam
paigns are not uniform
throughout the country.
The only way a man can get
on the Presidential ballot in
Nebraska is to be nominted at
the convention of a state
recognized party, he ' con
tinued. In some states it is
harder to be placed on the
ballot than in Nebraska and
in some it is easier.
Marsh said that he did not
understand how a Presiden
tial candidate who was not on
the ballot in all states con id
possibly hope to win a na
tional election.
He continued that in his
opinion, election procedures
In the future will, of necessi
ty, became more uniform,
possibly through con
gressional action.
In commenting on the re
cent controversy over the in
come tax petition Marsh said
he felt his office had been fair
in carrying out the law. At
present, the tax petition issue
has been presented to the
Supreme Court and is under
consideration, he continued.
Marsh was well received by
a group of about 100 Young
Republicans.

A coeducational complex
involving 100 graduate
students from all over the
world has established this
semester at Fairfield and
Benton Halls at Selleck
Quadrangle.
The experiment, utilizing
students from 19 to 65 years
of age, is attempting to create
an atmosphere in the dorms
which is particular to the
needs of students over 21, ae
cording to Bing Chen, student
assistant.
MEN, MANY from foreign
countries, live in Renton Hall
while women, many from
outstate also, live in Fairfield
Hall, just 12 feet south, Chen
explained.
Students representing
Guatamala, China, Japan,
and other countries live in the
two dorms. The vast majority
of the students are over 21,
cnen continued, fcome are
business people returning for
futher education. Several
nuns live in Fairfield.
While the two sexes live in
separate dorms, they share
many common facilities,
Chen said. A recreation room
in the basement of Benton is
used by all as is a study area
in the basement of Fairfield.
"A healthy more family-like
atmosphere is achieved since
both men and women share
some facilities. The complex
is really a single unit, Chen
said.
The two dorms were
"slums" before this year,
Chen said. The Housing Offce
University remodeled and
redecorated parts of the two
houses to accommodate the
G raduate-Foreign Student
group.
The student complex lias
initiated many activities this
year for their benefit and the
benefit of other undergradu
ate students, Chen said.
THE TUTORING
program is one of the most
popular functions, Chen said.
Many of the grad students
are teaching assistants and
have had extensive ex
perience in all major fields,
he explained. .
They have offered then
services as tutors free to any
undergraduate student who
requests it, Chen said. This is
the first year graduate
students have officially set up
a tutoring program.
Graduate students have
developed a lecture series,
specifically for the two houses
but open to anyone. Several
nights ago, Dean of Student
Affairs G. Robert Ross spoke
at Fairfield, Chen said.
Several Nebraska Free
University courses will be
taught by students in the
recreation room of Fairfield.
"We felt we should offer our
physical resources as well as
some of our residents to the
NFU," Chen said.
The two houses have in
titated Sunday Afternoon
Parties. They have -already
had a beach party, a sailing
party and a football party.
Again, tnese activities are
mainly for the benefit of the
grad students, but are open to
any interested person, Chen
said.
"We are trying to promote
bring more identity to the
dorms," Chen said. "Dorms
shouldn't just be t place for
someone to live. We must
have pride in our dorms.'
"We are trying to- promite
internal cohesion and self
limitation," he said.
Hopefully, maiy older
students who traditionally live
off campus will now find it
moe stimulating and
beneficial to move back on
campus, he said.
The idea of a separate
graduate student living area,
began three years ago, Chen
related. Graduate Foreign
students were given separate
floors in various dormitories, i
But there were many pro
blems, he said. Lack of space
foi stiuy.ng, conflicts over
use of lounges, lack of cook
ing facilities all existed, he
said.
They asked University
housing authorities last year
to create ? a independent,
graduate, foreign student
structure.
EDWARD BRYAN, housing
director and Dean of Student
Affairs Ross were most
cooperative, Chen noted.
"We are most interested in
establishing a new er
vironment for gralua.e iitid

Why?
Inadequate state support to

cording to the National As
sociation of State Universities
and Land Grant Colleges.
A survey conducted for
NASULGC by Dr. M. M.
Chambers of Indiana Univer
sity reports that state aid is
up 43 percent over 1967, but
not up enough to meet rising
costs and demands.
Since 1960, state assistance
has risen 223 percent to the
present $5 billion level. The
figures are deceptive, the re
port says, because at the same
time state aid has steadily de
clined as a percentage of total
income for many puDuc mtu
tutions. State legislatures have cut
budget requests, forcing post
ponement of expansion, de
layed improvements, curtailed
enrollments, and higher tui
tion and causing "dangerous
threats to quality and educa
tional opportunity."
"A day of reckoning is rap
idly approaching when it will
be harder and harder to catch
up and compensate for years
of reduction, postponement,
and, in some cases, neglect,"
Edward M. Crawford, direc
tor of NASULGC's Office of

warned.
such affairs. And there were
no right-wing hecklers, for
who could call these peace
marchers cowards?
There were about 20,000
who either marched or at
tended the rally afterward
half of them were
servicemen, reservists and
veterans of Vietnam and
previous wars, or both. .They
set out from the Panhandle of
San Francisco's Golden Gate
Park, led by about 300 active
duty servicemen,' a few in
uniform.
There laight have been
more active duty servicemen
marching, but local armed
service bases scheduled
special marches and
maneuvers for this weekend.
Leaders of the inarch had
failed to get an injunction
against the special maneuve
rs, one installation, the
Presidio of San Francisco,
abruptly cancelled all leaves
and passes.
Several soldiers were
AWOL to Join the march.
Four of them, accompanied
by some of the
demonstrators, went to the
Presidio afterwards to turn
themselves in to military
police.
The organizers of the
march also had trouble get
ting information onto some of
the bases. One group, in
cluding Navy nurse Susan
Schnall, who marched at the
head of Saturday's parade,
dropped leaflets on several
Navy installations from a
private plane. The Federal
Aviation Agency threatened
to fine the plane's pilot for
flying too low, but a Navy
spokesman said no action was
planned at present against
Lt. Schnall.
After a march through the
streets of San Francisco that
was so long it could only have
been planned by military
men, the soldiers, veterans
and their civilian supporters
held a rally in front of the
Civic Center.
AIRMAN First Class
Michael Locks, one of the
organizers of the demonstra
tion who marched at its head
in uniform, read a regulation
from the Secretary of the Air
Force saying the uniform
should not be worn at
demonstrations "in opposition
to the deployment of U.S.
armed forces."
Locks said, "I can think of
no greater cause for which to
wear my uniform than the
cause of peace." The crowd
gave him a standing ovation.
A number of the speakers
pointed out that this was the
first time servicemen and
veterans had openly marched
against a war. They said
soldiers would exercise their
constitutional right to dissent.
"The day of the silent
sacrifice is over," said Steve
Pizo, a Marine reservist. "We
are not weapons; we are men
and we will resist any
organization that would make

Don Duncan, the former
Green Beret who is now an
editor of Ramparts, said that
"if all the political prisoners
in stockades were released,
this (crowd) would be only
about one-tenth of the people
nere.
"We are not only protesting
me war wit also the system
that got us into Vietnam,"
Duncan added. Besides an
end to the war, he said the
demonstrators want:
to end the draft;
to ena : military pro
paganda among our civilian
population, "like John Wayne
movies ;
to get the military off the
campuses;
the Pentagon to release a
list of soldiers imprisoned or
aiscnarged because of their
opposition to the war;
THE DAY'S main speaker
was Hugh Hester, who proved
that a 73-year-old retired
brigadier general can say
some pretty radical things.
"Conscription is not only un
necessary, it is a vicious form
of involuntary servitude and
must be stopped." he said
"All the people who have
been charged and convicted
and sentenced for violating
the draft laws should hi
freed."
He said he would not
counsel draft resistance but
added, "It takes courage tn
refuse to fight in a war that is
unjust and immoral."
The Student Publications
Board at the University of
Minnesota adopted a "hands
off" policy following a contr
oversy surrounding an
allegedly obscene news story
in the campus newspaper,
according to the -Minnesota
Daily.
THE DAILY had covered a
campus demonstration and
used a four letter word for
sexual intercourse in the
story and with a picture of the
demonstrators.
"The editorial committee is
convinced that the editor was
motivated by an ethical com
mitment to report the news
completely and accurately,"
George Hage, chairman of the
board said.
CONCERNING the com
mittee's decision not to take
action against -the student
editor, Hage said, "We
believe that punitive or
repressive measures against
the editor would os serve to
arouse those who seek to
disrupt our academic pursuits
through use of four-letter
words."
None of the irate public who
had beseiged the newspaper
the President's office and the
Governor's office with phone
calls appeared to voice their
complaints at the special
meeting, the Daily reported.
The Minnesota Daily
reported the meeting of the
board in the style of a theatre
review. The text of the
"drama" follows:
"Improvisational theatre is
a difficult form for any
director. But at the Board of
Publications, one of our many
local amateur groups, each
member of the cast is a
director. The effect is stunn
ing. Last night's performance
was well publicized, allowing
the cast to get into the meat
of their skit without the usual
devices.
The issues around which
they built their meta-drama
was a daringly and strikingly
compact one. The Editor in
Question had allowed his
paper to publish a dirty work
or maldita.
THE DIRTY word in ques
tion, as the local press had
gone to great lengths to ex
plain, is commonly used by
all of us to refer to the sexual
act among two human beings
of the opposite sex, or two
animals. The word is a verb.
The issue thus built up by
the local smut pushers, the
regular actor took their seats
and opened the play, using
the format of a meeting. This
is a good structure for any
improvisitional theatre skit;
it allows looseness within
form, variation within theme.
The play tarted well. In
stead of plungng right into
the issues at hand, one of the
"students" skillfully
plagiarized a scene from the
meeting format, a lengthy
discussion of other business
on nana. The effect was to
heighten tension and draw us
into the personal realm of the
men of the stage.
The next phase was more
than interesting. The group
used a direct play to bring the
audience into their skit; they
asked for comments. No one
spoke. They asked again.
Silence. I think it is
testimony to the strength and
fiber of this group that by this
time they had the audience
eating from their hip pockets.
A lesser theater group
would have been so unsure of
themselves as to provoke
more audience participation.
The Board of Publications is
no such group.
Swiftly taking the theme
back among themselves they
turned to group discussion of
the issue. Control is what they
had. But control that showed
a swiftly moving stream
beneath their placid faces.
Speaking on whether the
group should drop the issue to
avoid controversy, a member
said: "We should not allow
ourselves to be intimidated by
radicals." .
Dean Martin Snoke deserv
es kudos, too. He played the
Administration, always a
tough roll. Here the actor
must appear rational on the
one hand, but indicate he is
worried that if the students
read too much they might
start doing it among
themselves.

important to note that any
actor who wanted to steal the
show could have done so
without any trouble. But this
is a cohesive group. Off the
top of his head, George Hage
phased out the discussion
speaking of "guideline for
future conduct."
It was over. The tension
was left in the audience, not
resolved on the stage. We left
the theatre aware that it was
we who were the actors and
that true pornography is in . .
