AWS abolitionists again fall
into dis-organized groups
by Julie Morris
Nebraskan Staff Writer
AWS endures.
Self-proclaimed reformers have
orated for abolition of the all
women's organizaton for almost
three years.
The sum of their guerrilla efforts
has been a new AWS constitution
that more clearly defines the AWS
powers and a nervous-Nellie at
titude among AWS representatives
and leaders.
THE TALK of abolition of AWS
surfaced again this fall among a
loosely-organized group of women
who didn't give themselves a name,
but said they worked for "women's
liberation."

AWS Congresswoman Ellen Pilmer says "the day when AWS
has to help the administration lock up University women is
past."
Young Cubans now
call Nebraska 'home'
Refugee: 'even if you surrender,

Raul swam a canal to Guan
tanamo Base without even telling
his family he was going to. He's
having trouble mastering English
and so is having trouble with his
studies at a Lincoln junior high
school.
Angel's father is a political
prisoner in a Cuban jail, though he
helped Castro's forces when they
first began fighting in the moun
tains. He talks English quite well
and this may be the reason why he
is very outgoing and friendly."
Pedro and Carlos flew out of Cu
ba to Miami without any knowledge
of the English language. Pedro
speaks English passably, Carlos not
very well, and both seem content to
let Angel speak for them.
THE ONE thing all four have in
common is Cristo Rey, a Catholic
run dormitory-home situated south
of Lincoln. Although over 200 young
Cubans have come through Cristo
Rey, just eight are staying there at
the time.
Each day they are driven into
town by the two counselois, NU
students Bob Harris and Jerry
Satherlund. According to Harris, a
well-traveled journalism major
tending toward psychology, the
young Cuban boys ranging in age
from 14 to 17 do better socially
than scholastically in Lincoln
schools.
But each night tiere are enforced
study hours during which the two
counselors, Director Father Tuchek
and others help the boys.
Father Tuchek is an amiable, in
formal man who says that Cuban
boys have been coming through the
home for about eight years now. He
speaks optii.-istically of the boys'
chances oi getting an eHucation and
getting out into h American
society.
Congresswoman, met with some of
these coeds before the group gen
erally gave up its efforts.
Miss Pilmer said she "hopes that
as a rule-making body, AWS will
legislate itself right out of existence
as soon as possible."
"I THINK AWS has to justify its
existence by fulfilling a useful role
within the University community,
and if it doesn't there is no reason
for it to exist," she said.
Miss Pilmer said the AWS focus
is misdirected to a degree. "The
day when AWS had to help the ad
ministration lock up University
women is past.
It's now the job of AWS to start
undoing the rules they've made in
the past and to take definite steps
n

f
IF LEFT in Miami, he says, most
Cubans tend to join the large Cuban
exile groups there and not bother
even learning the language since
there are newspapers, magazines
and radio stations in their own
language. This puts them at a
severe handicap when going after a
job. He tells of high-placed Cuban
businessmen who come to Miami
and are forced to become janitors.
Harris comes from McCook and
has traveled widely, having gone to
college in New Zealand. So he
knows something of the problems
one faces in entering another
culture.
The young Cubans seem to mix
well with the American boys at
Cristo Rey, who are wards of the
county.
THE BOYS also are quite willing
to talk about Cuba and why they
left. Although Angel does most of
the talking the others will nod their
heads in agreement and talk in
their native language when Angel
talks about the prisons, the army
and the patrol-boats who shoot
people attempting to swim to the
American base at Guantanimo for
' sanction.
"Even if you surrender," says
Angel, "they shoot you, dig a hole
and just leave you. They don't even
tell your parents you are dead.
They just shoot you."
He also talks about how many
Cuban young men try to get out of
the country before the age of 15,
since they are then Inducted into
the army.
"I wouldn't call it the army,"
Angel explains. "You Just work,
vrork at anything . . . that is what
they mean by the army." He said
you are paid seven dollars a mont'j
for work in the army, and must
serve from 15 to 26 years of age.

in the direction of transferring
responsibility to each individual."
THE AWS executives have tried
this year to emphasize the AWS
program area as an equal with the
rule-enforcement function of the
organization.
But coeds still seem to equate
AWS and regulations. Anne Aita, a

titudes and movements for change
in the established system.
senior congresswoman, saps, "To
me there are no ifs, ands or buts
about it, AWS is strictly a rules
organization."
Since 1966 AWS has been slowly
breaking down the rules on
women's hours through the
establishment of a key system. And
many coeds support the organiza
tion "because it is getting changes
for us."
BUT OTHERS question the pace
of the change and the underlying
philosophy of them.
AWS literature on the key system
and the conversation of the AWS
executives is shot through with
references to ''maturity,''
"responsibility" and "privilege."
President Mimi Baker's in
troduction to the AWS pamphlet
"Focus on Coeds" cautions:
" "THE COLLEGE community is a
place ior us to experiment and to
learn, to grow in all directions.
While AWS reflects this attitude,
we are trying to keep in mind that
'There is nothing worse than ig
norant change, unless it is ignorant
opposition to change."
''Coeds are beginning to demand
new freedoms and privileges and
AWS must respond but before
change takes place women students
must be aware of and accept the
corresponding responsibility."

An overflow Union Ballroom
crowd listened to F. Lee Bailey
criticize flaws in the American
judicial system Thursday after
noon. Talking on the topic "The
Defense Naver Rests," the famed
criminal lawyer said that many of
the assumptions made in an
American courtroom to protect the
defendant are a farce.
BAILEY GAINED national fame
by his highly-publicized defenses of
Dr. Sam Shepherd and Dr. Carl
Coppolino.
"If we hang you for something
you didn't do," he said, "at least
we're going to give you a beautiful
trial in the process."
He said that the jury in a
criminal trial is "required by law
to be infallible." Unlike all other

who amassed 1,749 yards in 1966 for
a Big Eight record.
ANDERSON, the Buffaloes
leading scorer with 42 points and
top rusher with 653 yards, has
already broken CU's career yards,
total season plays for a
quarterback and the one season
total offensive yards mark. Besides
those peaks, the junior from
Boulder High is the Big Eight's fi
rst back to gain more than 3,000
yards in two seasons of varsity ac
tion. Nebraska, after bowing to
Kansas State 12-0 in a poor of
fensive showing last Saturday, will
aim for its 15th victory in the 26
game series against a Colorado

"You can't keep
sources of legal decisions, there
can be no review of the proceedings
of a jury. "They have exclusive
jurisdiction over life and liberty."
"THE EXERCISE of this power
is done with a great deal of
decorum," he said. "I just wish it
were done with more accuracy."
Being innocent, he stated, has
nothing to do with presenting a
case in a court.
He said that evidence and proof
in a case were two different things.
"Evidence," he said, "is that in
formation which the jury is
permitted to hear." He charged
that there were too many ex
clusions to what may or may not be
presented to the jury.
HE POINTED out that a wife
cannot testify against her husband

flashes of brilliance.
Coach Eddie Crowder's
westerners have recorded the lone
conference win over Oklahoma a
41-27 pounding at Boulder and
have eliminated Iowa State 28-14,
Oregon 28-7 and Kansas State 37-14.
But the Coloradoans have been
downed by California 10-0, Missouri
27-14, Kansas 27-14 and upset

Saturday in Stillwater.

"Trial is characterized as a
search for truth, and I wish that it
were," he said.
He enumerated three rules of the
court which were farcical in that
they assumed things which were
not true.
PRESUMPTIONOFIN
NOCENCE. "When we hear they've
been indicted, we assume they're
guilty. Presumption of innocence is
not a logical assumption; it works
just the opposite."
He said that 95 of the people
who go to trial are guilty and that
90 admit it before the trial, so
that these statistics hurt the re
maining five per cent.
"Once a man is indicted, a
stigma is attached to him by
society which may ruin him
whether or not he is convicted."

Nebraska roaring back from a 19-7
fourth quarter deficit to a 21-19 win
at Boulder in 1966 and Colorado
turning two long pass interceptions
into 14 points en route to a 21-18

Bolstered by 10,000 migrating
Nebraskans, Colorado expects a
