Enrollment in pass-fail
smaller than expected
by Joanell Ackerman
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The University's pass-fail
system is an option that few
students seem to be using.
This semester there were
19J5 registrations for pass-fail
courses, according to Beverly
C U nningham, registration
advisor.
"I THOUGHT that more
students would be using the
pass-fail option than there
actually are," said Miss
Cunningham, who has com-
piled a set of statistics on this
semester's pass-fail system.
She said one reason for the
low participation may be that
many students do not under
stand the requirements for
pass-fail.
Current policy allows
juniors and seniors the op

Some see a lack of
creativity on the part of the
students as a reason why
more students haven't gotten
involved this year.
"That march on City Hall
was nothing but a collective
ego-trip," explained Phil
Medcalf , a leader in the Pea
ce and Freedom movement.
"No one created a thing
after that walk downtown,"
Medcalf continued. "Everv
one seemed to be proud that
they walked to City Hall, but
no one has done a thing
since."
DAN LOOKER reported to
ASUN last Wednesday that
the petition drive initiated
during the march was a
"failure at this point"
because nothing had been
generated by it.
Linda Essay, who helped
lead the march, thought it
was "a burst of concern
which fizzled out."
"The whole thing was
squashed by liberal-types who
didn't want to cause a bad
image," she said. "The result
was the resounding boom of
failure."

the Human Rights Com.

portunity ot taking a course
on the pass-fail basis. Pass-
fail courses are restricted to
areas outside the student's
major and minor fields and
may not be used to fulfill
group requirements for
graduation.
TO REGISTER for a pass
fail course, a student m-
dicates on his worksheet that
he is taking the course on that
basis.
A maximum of 12 hours
may be taken on the pass-fail
basis while at the University.
Miss Cunningham said that
this semester two students
are taking four pass-fail
courses each.
The three most popular
departments for pass-fail
courses are the Psychology,

to
carry on an like this."
Shonsey said that if one
went to the dormitories to
discover student power, the
concensus of opinion would be
"there isn't any, and we don't
care if there isn't."
THE UNIVERSITY o f
Nebraska campus, in effect,
has no radical leaders, ac
cording to Dave Bunnell.
Bunnell was influenced by
the philosophy of Carl
Davidson when Davidson was
on campus three years ago.
But the fire lit by Davidson
has burnt out now. Bunnell
thinks.
"The radicals here have
nothing," he said. "They have
been ostracized. All we can do
is push the liberals into doing
something. We are very
disillusioned with the cam
pus." "Bunnell blames the
radicals "for not doing their
homework" but added, "ob
viously, the student body is
not as sophisticated as those
at better schools like
Harvard, Berkeley or
Columbia."
BUT THE power struggle is
not between liberals and
radicals. What is being
demanded by Students? What
does it have to do with the
quality of education at the
University?
Many student leaders think
that the future of the
University is tied up in the
answer? to those questions.
Some Answers will be ex
plored in the conclusion of
this study of student activism
at the University of
Nebraska.

Departments, according to
Miss Cunningham.
Determination of what is
considered pass or tail is
decided by the instructor of
the course.
DR. HARRY SHELLEY,
who teaches Psych 188, a
course popular with pass-fail
students, says that such a
student must meet the same
requirements as the rest of
the class. The only difference
is that the student gets a "p"
or "f" instead of a letter
grade.
"I would guess that the
students who have taken my
courses on the pass-fail option
would have received a C-plus
on a graded basis," he said.
Dr. Stephen R o z m a n ,
assistant professor in the
Political Science Department,
said that a pass-fail student
had to have a C average in
one of his courses to receive a
pass."
THE PASS-FAIL system is
a good idea, he added.

financing the operation," he
added.
Two methods of finance
have been suggested thus far,
The first involves selling store
memberships. Student fees
might also be used to foot the
initial expense, he said.

NU lab

Nebraskan Staff Writer
Nebraska boasts the only
independent tractor testing
laboratory in the western
hemisphere according to
Engineer-in-Charge, L. F.
Larson.
The lab came into existence
in 1919 as a result of the
Nebraska Tractor Test Law
passed that year. This law
requires all tractors sold in
Nebraska to be tested by
state agency, he said.
LARSON CONTINUED that
Nebraska is the only state
that requires tractors to be
independent 1 y tested
However, because of
Nebraska's agricultural
nature, almost all tractors
sold in the United States are
tested in the Nebraska
laboratory located on East
Campus.
The first tractor was tested
in the spa ing of 1920, he said
It was the kerosene powered
"Waterloo Boy" made by
John Deere.
Since that time, tractors
have been tested from such
varied places as England,
Italy. Poland, Japan, and
Iowa. Some bear famous
automotive names such as
Porsche, Fiat, and Ford.
This month the facility will
test its 1000th tractor, Larson
sub-committee on Drop and
Add will begin meeting with
Lee Chatfield of the Office of
Student Affairs. The purpose
of these meetings will be to
"try and straighten out the
mess in Drop and Add and

THE PURPOSE of tractor
testing is to encourage the
production of improved trac
tors by testing manufac
turer's claims and making the
test results public, he said.
Tractors are tested for heir
power and performance.
Horsepower is tested directly
by electronic means. Actual
performance power is tested
under varying conditions on
the East Campus testing
track.
FACTORY representatives
are always present to make
sure hat the machine is at its
peak performance, he said.
Best fuels and operating con
ditions are also tested and
noted.
Larson continued that the

laboratory has forced many
companies to build their own
