IDA debates
process of
SA selection
Selection of 1 1 u d e n t assistants
wai discussed Thursday by the Inter-dormitory
Association (IDA).
The IDA and the board of resi
dence directors determine the hir
ing process of SA's.
Norman Snustad, residence
director from Selleck Quadrangle,
outlined the method used last year
which included point ratings by
other students and interviews.
"WE ARE considering holding
panel discussions," Snustad said.
"The panel would be made up of
four prospective student assistants,
and the discussion evaluated by
residence directors."
IDA President Bruce Bailey sug
gested that the s t u d e n t s on the
panel evaluate each other because
''students are better judges of one
tnother."
"The panel should not become
formal," Bailey added. "If the
studer's remain informal, they will
act naturally, and it will be easier
to rate them."
.
RESIDENCE directors should
make sure students are willing to
evaluate prospective student
assistants, according to Bob Brandt,
Abel-Hall representative.
"Too often students fail to turn in
the rating forms which is in
terpreted as a negative point for
the student assistant candidate they
are rating," he said.

A Daily Nebraskan check of stu
dent living unit leaders Sunday
showed lukewarm support of lhe
ASUN resolution condemning
campus undercover agents.
Dorm and Greek house officers
and student assistants generally
said they agreed with some form of
censure of student undercover
agents. But they questioned the
exact attempt ASUN is making.
A NUMBER of the students in
terviewed said they believe there
are already student undercover
agents at work on campus.

The Senate resolution introduced
three weeks ago was tabled twice
by opponents. A newly-rewritten
version to be presented Wednesday
advocates that student undercover
agents "be subject to disciplinary
action within the University com
munity." The resolution asks that censure
of student spies be made an official
University policy because spies are
a violation of the atmosphere of
free speech "essential to the
survival of an academic community."

Delta Upsilon fraternity, said he

One guitar, two voices
magic moments
by George Kaufman
Nebraskan Review
Simon and Garfunkel walked off
the cover of their latest record
album Saturday night to warm a
standing-room-only crowd at
Pershing Auditorium with their
special magic.
"Magic," of course, is a term
easily thrown around when talking
about performers, especially here
in entertainment-starved Lincoln,
Nebraska. And, too, standing ova
tions are not really that rare at
Pershing, considering how few na
tional acts come through our town
each year,
BUT ART Garfunkel, with his
boy-soprano voice, and Paul Simon,
with his guilar-that-speaks-all-languages
and his poetry, really
captured the 7,000 chilly fans.
The two folk singers have none of
what is called "stage presence,"
and the only accompaniment they
brought was Paul's guilar. But
their casual approach soon caught
on and Paul proved that they
needed no other accompaniment.
Paul Simon is probably one of the
most accomplished guitarists
performing today who also writes
and sings his own material. His
accompaniment Saturday night was
true to all the arrangements on
their albums, and his guitar solo
usually done as a duet with another
guitarist convinced any doubters
that he knew what he was doing.
PAUL'S POETRY is an end pro
duct in itself in most cases, with
the music merely carrying it to a

power to censure the use of student
undercover agents.
"If police have the right to hire
people to help them out as un
dercover agents, does ASUN have
the power to censure their doing
so?" Voboril added.
"I can see both sides," Voboril
said, "Spies are somewhat of an
invasion of privacy, but they are
also an arm of the police depart
ment." HE SAID he thinks most men in
his house would favor the resolution
because of a natural aversion to the
idea of student undercover agents.

higher form of communication,
unlike most preformers who do
the other way around.
Pieces like "Old Friends" and
"Poem on an Underground Wall'
are modern poetry at its best. Paul
does one of the most difficult things
an author can attempt in "Old
FYiends" he makes his audience
believe he knows what it is like to
be seventy years old, awaiting
death.
"Poem on an Underground Wall"
turns the act of a young man
scrawling an obscenity on a subway
wall into a religious-sexual ex
perience. And, of course, they performed
their hits from "The Graduate," a
movie soundtrack which boosted
the group to a recent resurgence of
popularity.
Although Paul Simon is certainly
the most prolific member of the
duo, and so the most easy to write
about, Art Garfunkel "makes" the
group vocally. No other singing
group could ever quite capture the
tight-knit harmony which Art's
soprano voice afford them. He is
not prone to the chatter which most
performers have turned to, to fill
in the gaps of Paul's interminable
guitar-tuning between each number
which saved the act from being
talked to death.
THE CROWD was also treated to
an "incident" when a young man
jumped onto the stage during the
first half, strolled up to Paul Simon
and asked if he would sing "The
Dangling Conversation." After
reassuring the intruder that they
would perform it during the second
half, Simon then had to ask him to
not sit on one of the speakers on the
stage and, finally, not to sit on the
edge of the stage. Ironically, the
overenthusiastic fan probably
didn't get to hear the request dur
ing the second half because the
police soon converged on the area.
Simon and Garfunel received
three wild, standing ovations, and
responded to each with an encore,
the last turning out to be a tape of
"Bye-Bye Blues" which the two lip
ped while the audience joined in
with rhythmic clapping.
But Sunday it was on to De
Moines, then to Omaha, then to
Denver, then to . . .

reel study
The Nebraska Union Film Society
will sponsor a series of short films,
Studies In Human Understanding,
which will be shown Nov. 16 and 17
at 2:00 and 7:00 p.m. at Sheldon Art
Gallery.
The theme of the film involves
the presence of, and the lack and
need for human understanding in
the areas of race-relations, poverty,
prejudice, and delinquency.
"The Quiet One" is a film classic
in child study. It's the story of an
only child, abandoned by his
parents, who hides his bitterness
within himself.
"SIGHET, SIGHET" relates
the past life of a survivor the 10,000
Jews of Sighet who were deported .
to the ovens of Auschwitz.
General admission to the film
series is seventy-five cents. Film
society members will be admitted
for fifty cents.

Hall, said, "I don't agree with the
people in Senate who've been
saying this will tie the hands of the
law, because I don't think it will."
Miss Pilmer said she thinks
passage of the resolution might
awaken students to the reality that
there probably are students now
acting as undercover agents on
campus.
SHE SAID she could not ac
curately assess feeling in the dorm
about the spy issue.

students would stop and look at this
resolution."
LEARY SAID he thinks the
resolution's suggestion that student
undercover agents be subject to
"disciplinary action" is
"nebulous."
He said, "There is no need to
have spies in the dorms. If
somebody is doing something il
legal it would come to the attention
of the student assistant and be
worked out through the system
already established."
