IVU faces stiff challenge
against
by Randv York
Assistant Sports Editor
Kansas State near the top of the
Big Eight football standings is
about as common as lemonade at a
woodsie. In fact, the Wildcats have
not registered a conference victory
since 1964.
But even in the underdog role, K
State carries a dangerous tag,
having thrown its quota of scares
into league foes.

AND NEBRASKA knows only too
well what the Wildcats can do on
any given Saturday. It took a last
minute field goal by Bill Bom
berger to bail the Huskers out of
trouble last year at Manhattan, 16

ranked Kansas and Missouri, is
back on the winning track after
disposing of Oklahoma State and

outscored 151-68 while dropping
four straight league decisions to
Iowa State, Colorado. Missouri and
Oklahoma.
The Husker homecoming
matchup may feature a
quarterback duel as Nebraska's
Ernie Sigler, best percentage
passer in the league, goes against
K-State's Lynn Dickey, who
statistically ranks ahead of such
standouts as Iowa State's John
Warder and KU's Bobby
Douglass.
The Wildcats have gone more to
the air this year since a stalled
running attack has mustered but
93.1 yards per game, worst in the
conference.
K-STATE, however, owns one of
the most explosive runners in the
Big Eight. Wingback Mack Herron,
who returned a kickoff 100 yards
last week against Oklahoma, has
gained 189 yards on the ground this
season, but has only rushed 42
times.
Tailback Russell Harrison and
fullback Cornelius Davis are also in
Coach Vince Gibson's stable.
Harrison, a sophomore who broke
Gale Sayers' prep rushing record
at Omaha Tech, has also rushed
but 42 times, gaining 145 yards for
a 3.5 average. Davis, a senior who
led the conference in rushing with
1,028 yards as a sophomore, has
managed 188 yards through eight
games this year. Davis, however
has scored four touchdowns. Her
ron leads K-State in scoring with
six touchdowns.
Flanker Dave Jones, who holds
the Big Eight career receiving
record, is Dickey's chief target and
Kansas State's top offensive
threat.
Spy resolution triggers discussion
by Joanelle Ackerman
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The "emotionally colored word
spy" provided the basis of dialogue
in the opening round of the Hyde
Park session Thursday afternoon.
Alan Siporin opened the subject
by asking the more than 100
students gathered in the Student
Union lounge how many would like
to have student spies informing on
them.
FEW STUDENTS raised their
hands. One who did was Dave
Landis, one of the ASUN senators
who opposed the Student Senate
resolution condemning the hiring of
students to act as undercover
agents.
"I do not choose to restrict law
enforcement agents from enforcing
the law," Landis said.
Arts and Sciences
.Wore student
planned by
by John Dvorak
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Students will have a voice in the
operation of the College of Arts and
Sciences due to a number of evolu
tionary experiments currently
being planned, according to Dean
C. Peter Magrath.
"It is desirable, useful and
necessary that students have both a
formal and informal say in the
College," Magrath said. Students
should participate in the College,
not just attend classes in it. hp
said.
Magrath, new to the University
this semester, feels that students
should work with the faculty on
grading review and curriculum co
mmittees, as well as in other
educational experimentation.
Students should not participate in
hiring and firing decision;
though.
"THESE ARE not just words."
Magrath emphasized.
As evidence, Grading Review
Appeal Committees, as recom
mended in the Student Academic
Freedom Report, have been
established all Arts and Sciences
Departments. Some of the commit
tees include students and graduate
assistants. Magrath said.
If students are dissatisfied with
the department committee's
decision, the student can appeal to
the College Grading Review Appeal
Committee, he continued. Three
faculty members and a student
compose that committee.
SO THAT students may
participate directly in curriculum
matters, Magrath has proposed
that the 23 member course of study
committee be restructured to in
clude three non-voting student
members.
The Arts and Sciences dean poll
ed faculty members in the college.
Not all members responded, he
said, but the curriculum committee
revision was favored approximate
ly six to one.
The Arts and Sciences Executive
Committee, the Arts and Sciences
Council, and the Student Advisory
Board will consider the proposal,
Magrath reported.
Selleck Quadrangle will be the
scene of another experiment utiliz
ing student trained counselors for
freshmen students, he said.

Pre-registration for second semester is scheduled for Nov. 8 according to Mrs. Irma Laase,
assistant director of registration and records. Worksheets may be picked up Friday and
deadlines for students with 89 or more hours is Nov. 13; for students with 53 or more hours
is Nov. 19, and all students with less than 53 hours must have registration completed by
Nov. 26.
He said that he opposes the
ASUN resolution because it creates
a "special situation" for the
University. In effect, the resolution
would be restricting the University
from law enforcement that the rest
of society is subject to.
THE RESOLUTION in question
which was tabled during the ASUN
Senate meeting Wednesday, reads:
Whereas, an atmosphere of free in
quiry is essential to the survival of
an academic community ... the
ASUN Senate condemns the hiring
of students to act as undercover
agents and requests that a
University policy be established
stating that any student acting as a
lired undercover agent be subject
to suspension from the University.
Landis said that the resolution
revamped
about their second semester
courses, subject to review by a
faculty committee. They will help
the freshmen plan their course of
study, Magrath said
Possibly the most startling ex
periment is a proposed Human
Studies Program, which is being
considered by an ad hoc faculty
committee. It would allow students
to choose not a traditional major,
but a major from several existing
courses, Magrath said.
These selected students would
explore a particular aspect of the
human studies courses, choosing
that as a major, he said. The
students would be advised bv a
faculty sponsor.

such as the proposed Centennial
College, which may be a combina
Students unhappy with
no-action housing policy
by Julie Morris
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The student members of the
University Housing Committee told
the committee Wednesday that
students are tired of waiting for
implementation of a housing policy
approved 18 months ago.
Bill Gilpin, Cheryl Tritt, and Jim
Ludwig formally asked the com
mittee to implement by second
semester the policy requiring only
freshmen to live on campus. Gilpin
is the new chairman of the commi
ttee. The committee agreed to
postpone action on the recom
mendation until a meeting set for
next Wednesday.
THE STUDENTS said they
believe the policy "might well have
been implemented last May if
precent enrollment and occupancy
levels could have been confidently
predicted."
They noted that administrators
originally projected a fall 1968
enrollment of 18,417, but revised
that to 17,500, "making it impossi
ble to implement the policy." The
actual enrollment this fall was only
100 short of the original estimate.
"Students are living in
University residence halls who
don't want to be there, who feel
coerced; and as a logical extension
was poorly worded and that he
particularly did not agree with the
part stating that "any student ac
ting as a hired undercover agent be
subject to suspension."
SIPORIN said that he also
thought the resolution could have
been stated better.
He objects to a student un
dercover system because the
purpose of having undercover
agents would not be for the en
forcement of all laws, but only laws
relating to drug abuse.
"The whole spy network would be
used to discriminate against a cer
tain individual because of the way
he dressed or the people he
associated with," Siporin said.

emphasized that most of these ex
periments are student initiated.
"AS PART of the effort to in
volve students in the College, we
will especially try to respond to the
student advisory board," Magrath
said.
This board, as a formally
designated student group, can play
a large part in making suggestions
and assisting in the planning of
these experiments, he reported.
Student representatives on many
of the committees will be selected
by the board. The board is also
directly involved in the counseling
experiment in Selleck.
of this these students are damaging
the residence hall program. The
group as a whole is suffering," the
three said.
The students' report to the com
mittee, two months in the writing,
suggested that no more than 200
students would move out of the
dorms if the new policy were im
plemented second semester.
Loss of 200 residents, less than
four per cent of the dorm popula
tion, would not hurt the operation of
the dorms, the report states.
The Students based their
figure of 200 on statistics from the
University's fall housing report,
which lists the living areas of all
They suggested that the number
of students who would move if the
policy were implemented second
semester woud be minimized
because of dorm contract penalties
for moving, parental permission
and the problem of moving in mid
year. Freshmen, sophomore and junior
women and sophomore men are
now required to live on campus by
University rules. A total of 5,200
students live in the dorms. More
than one half of the dorm residents
are required to live on campus.

undercover agents, the University
would be eliminating an "extra
amount of restriction that society
does not condone."
"It is not relevant to say whether
or not undercover agents exist now.
The point is that they can exist
now. What is going to be done about
it?" Siporin asked.
He added that the fact that
University officials do not hire
undercover agents does not mean
that someone else can't
Landis said that he would not
agree with the use of undercover
agents on a personal level, such as
a state senator hiring campus
spies.
The rest of the Hyde Park session
was devoted to a discussion of
discrimination within the Greek
system.
