There is a weather bureau
on the lop floor of Nebraska
Hall, but it does not predict
the weather.
The bureau is concerned
only with prevailing or
average weather conditions in
the Nebraska area, which are
determined by extensive
studies over a period of years,
according to Richard E.
Myers, Nebraska state
climstologist.

of meteorology. A

Associate Dean of Student
Afair Huss Brown was
present Tuesday to make a
suggestion that the wording of
a particular section be
changed to be more consistent
with the intent of the docu
ment. "THE TONE of several
statements assumes a taking
of power," Brown said. He ex
plained there was an adverse
reaction by administrators to
this wording.
"The basic principles are
already agreed to and have
been adopted by the whole
U a i v ersity community,"
Brown stated. He explained

is a problem of how to effect
those principles to arrive at a

Dreeszen said the wording
would be changed for
Wednesday's Student Senate
meeting to more accurately
intone the intent of the bill.
Categorical criticism of the
bill Monday centered on the
open-endedness of several
statements regarding student

Dreeszen said that there are
basically two kinds of power
ASUN could have: that which
is granted "from above" (i.e.,
the Regents): or, a consti
tuency-based power, granted
by the students.
"We have neither," he said.

The premiere of Baldwin's
play "The House Within the

Alabama.
The play is entered in
regional competition for in

University Theater Festival.
A committee of three judges
win view the Alabama pro

His comedy, "Loosebough
the First," win be produced
at Wisconsin State University
in Whitewater, Nov. 19-23.
This play has been seen in
productions at Alabama,
Nebraska, the Kearney Com
munity theater and 10 bases

addition, records of local
weather conditions since the
bureau's founding in the late
inks art available.
THE BUREAU was
originally formed by a erouo
of University professors with
financial support given by the
state government, Myers
said. Gradually, the federal
government took over the
weather bureaus.
For a time the entire Lin
cola weather station wn
located in Myers office. Not
only were past records com
piled, but weather predictions
were ako made. Now the
f-rocasitog part of the bureau
has movti to the old Lincoln
Air Force Base.

weather bureau only predicts
tomorrow's weather, Myers
said, but manv oeoDle are cm-

"We will ask for control of
student fees, control of the
Union, final say in
disciplinary action concerning
students and of the non
academic social affairs of the
studeht body," Dreeszen ex
plained. THE ASUN president can
not foresee what will result
from the motion.
"It's up to the students and
the administration to see if
we can get the power," he
commented-
With student power, leaders
on this campus are also ask
ing for student responsibility.
"Student power, as I see it,
is really student
responsibility," Phil Metcalf
said. "I think the student
power as well as quantity."

and push for more individual
responsibility," Schrekinger ;

said, "i think the student
should definitely have a
responsibility in the running
of his life."
The University's assembly
line technique is the brunt of
the criticism of the student
who is trying to change the
institution.
"I see the University turn
ing out products. It's just a
vocational school," Ron
Warnet, a chemistry graduate
student, said. "One can't
learn to make decisions- It
isn't valuable to people. In
effect, it is dehumanizing
them."
WARNET TEACHES a
course in the Nebraska Free
University, which registered
1300 students this fan.
"Certain courses this year
are c h e 1 1 e n g i n g the
University's teaching
methods," Warnet said. "But
in many instances it is just a
personification of the rest of
the University."
Warnet feels that NFU
could become " a lever to pun
the University into change" if
it is utilized correctly.
Some feel that the ad
ministration and the faculty
in Lincoln are more "turned
on" than the students.
Orchestra planning
annual fall concert
The University Symphony
Orchestra win feature work
by contemporary Latin
American composer Juan
Orrego-Salas at its annual faU
concert scheduled for 8 cm..
Monday, Nov. 24, in the
Nebraska Union ballroom in
Lincoln.
The orchestra, under the
direction of Prof. Emanuel
Wishnow, director of the
University's School of Music,
win perform Orrego-Salas'
"Obertura Festiva" as part of
a Latin American Fine Arts
Festival now in progress on
the campus.
ORREGO-SALAS, a native
of Chfle who is presently
teaching at the University of
Indiana School of Music, has
been recognized both in
America and Europe through
commissions, awards and
performances of his works by
major orchestras, soloists and
chamber groups.
He has appeared on many
campuses, including the
University of Nebraska where

"I THINK the students are
out of touch with the Universi
ty," said Dave BunneU. He
said that the students' "lack
of research" and the "lack of
articulte people who can tie
issues together" are two
reasons for the apparent
student disinterest
Dreeszen blames this
disinterest on the lack of com
munication among the
students themselves, not on
the lack of communication
between students and faculty
or students and administration-
THERE ARE NO plans to
takeover the Administration
Building or to bomb the
ROTC building, as have hap.
pened on other campuses this
year.
But there does exist on he
University campus what could
be labeled "militant utiliza

what power the have now as a
base from which to work,
hoping to build a larger base
