Assistantships
now available
for 1969-70
Selection of student assistants for the
1969-70 academic year has begun, according
to University officials.
The selection will be completed by the
middle of March so that the new SA's
can receive orientation in a spring training
program.
Applicants for the 120 positions
- available in men's and women's residence
halls at the University are now going
through interviews with residence directors
and panels composed of three or four stu
dent assistants.
In addition, each applicant is rated by
10 residents on his or her floor in the
hall.
PARTICIPATING in a discussion group
is the final step in the selection process.
Each group is composed of four SA ap
plicants and two residence directors. The
applicant is evaluated on his or her con
tribution to the group's discussion concern
ing some aspect of dormitory life.
The deadline for submitting applica
tions for student assistants was Monday.
Those interested in the 12 residence hall
graduate assistant positions available for
the 1969-70 academic year may still apply.
The position is open to anyone who
will have acquired a Bachelor's degree
before next September. Wayne T. Kuncl,
residence hall coordinator, said that the
Housing Office was particularly interested
in persons with experience in residence
hall living and persons who are career
oriented towards working with people.
However, no particular graduate major is
required.
In addition to room and board, graduate
assistants receive $1400 and the opportunity
for training and experience in college stu
dent personnel work.
Many times the graduate assistant
moves up to the position of residence
director after receiving his Master's
degree, Kuncl said.
Adamson co-sponsors bill to lower voting age

Smiling hopefully, Sen. Elvin Adamson wishes to give 20-year-olds a
chance to vote in 1970. He is co-sponsoring L.B. 168, one of a pair of
of measures to lower the voting age.
Nebraska 20-year-olds may have
a chance to vote in 1970 if state
legislators support Sen. Elvin Ad
monsons bill for submission of a
constitutional voting amendment.
Legislative Bill 168 is one of pair
of measures co-sponsored by
Adamson which would lower the
age for legal responsibility in the
state from 21 to 20 years. The bills'
other spossors are Sens. C. W..
Holmquist of Oakland and Eugene
Mahoney of Omaha.
The other bill, LB 167, would
allow 20-year-olds to enter into
contractual agreements without
consent of parent or guardian.
ADAMSON SAID he thought the
bill to lower responbilitities as well
as privileges would be an incentive
to Nebraska voters to support
lowering the voting age.
"I support the lower voting age
because that is the age where most
people begin fulltime work, or go
into the service," Adamson said.
"Also, the majority are out of high
school, and should assume more
responsibilities."
"Some people are capable of
voting at age 16 or 17," Adamson
said. "Others never reach full
maturity."
THE SENATOR said he support
ed the recent efforts to lower the
voting age to 19, although he "did
have a preference for (age) 20.
"The same questions we are br
inging up were involved in that
campaign," he said.
Adamson said he had hoped to
keep the two bills together as
"companion bills," but that they
had already been sent to separate
committees.
Speculating on the effect of the
measures, Adamson said "it would
be my hope that if the majority age
is lowered, the age for purchase of
alcohol will also be lowered."
He said that this would depend on
the form of the final bill, however.
PREDICTIONS from former
proponents of the age 19 vote last
week were that attempts would be
made to amend Adamson's bill to
include 19-year-olds in the lowered
age.
"I think an attempt will be made
to lower the age on both bills, " said
Dave Piester, one of the leaders of
Nebraskans for Young Adult Suf
frage (NFYAS).
Piester thinks Nebraska voters
are "used to" the target age of 19,
and that the issue will win or lose
on" principle, not on different ages.
"The reason we lost in western
Nebraska was that people wanted
the contractual age lowered along
with the voting age," Piester said.
"I THINK that by working to
lower both age requirements, we
will show that youth not only w ants
the privilege of voting but also the
responsibility," he said.
If the legislature passes the
measures, the contractual age will
hp lnwerpd simnlv bv a vote of the
body, while the voting age bill will
be placed on the 1970 November
general election ballot.
Adamson is confident that the
bills will pass through the com
mittees and reach the floor of the
legislature.
He said that the most crucial
times for legislative bills are when
the bills are in committee and when
they are on general file, or open for
general dicussion. At both points it
is possible to kill a bill before a
final vote is taken. Unless a bill is
highly controversial, Adamson said,
it is usually passed after getting
through these debates.
THE HEARING on the voting age
bill is set for Feb. 20, while no date
has been set for the other bill.
Piester said that probably a few
NFYAS supporters wouid testify in
behalf of these bills, as well as for
one introduced by Scottsbluff Sen.
Terry Carpenter, which would
lower the age for consumption of
3.2 per cent beer to age 18.
"Our big goal is to get everything
lowered across the board to age
19," Piester said.
jVei0 appointees receive Regents' approval
"Perhaps Board of
Regents meetings won't last
; so long under the new ad
i ministration," said Regents
; President Richard Adkins as
; he adjourned a 21-minute
meeting.
In their brief meeting on
; Friday, Jan. 24, the Regents
approved various ap
' pointments. These include
the reappointment of seven
' assistant football coaches
who will now receive $16,000
annually. George Kelly, the
; eighth assistant, was recom
" mended for reappointment.
I but had resigned earlier this
month to assume a similar
position at the University of
Notre Dame.
SEVERAL E W ap
pointees to the NU staff have
worldwide reputations. Dr.
Ulrich Mohr, the assistant
director of the German
Cancer Research Center at
the University of Heidelberg
since 1964, will be a visiting
senior professor in
pathology. Mohr is one of
the "world's greatest"
cancer researchers, ac
cording to Dr. Cecil L.
Wittson, president of the
University Medical Center.
A graduate of the
'University of Capetown Dr.
Sidney S. Mirvish received
Regent approval as an
associate professor of
biochemistry. He received
his Ph.D. from the
University of Cambridge. He
was a lecturer at the
University of Witwatersrand
and studied at Hadassah
University Medical School in
1960 and 1961.
IN OTHER business, the
Board of Regents accepted a
proposal which will provide
850 seats for the new Kim
ball Concert Hall. That ap
proval is contingent upon
Federal approval.
The University campus
increased in size by 17,750
square feet. The Regents
accepted the offer of the
Nebraska State Historical
Society Foundation to buy
the land just north of the
C a ther-Pound Residence
Halls.
This land was the last re
maining parcel of land, from
the dorms to Nebraska Hall,
not owned by the University.
Funds for the purchase came
from parking fee income.
THE BUDGET for the 1969
summer sessions on the
Lincoln campuses w a s j
scheduled for adoption, but !
was postponed until next '
month. j
"The earlier the budget is j
approved the better," said j
acting Chancellor Merk !
Hobson. He added, however, j
that no serious problems j
w ould be incurred by delay-1
ing budget approval.
