7050 fans see Mizzou defeat
CIS NU gets conference
by John Dvorak
Sports Writer
It was run, run, run Saturday night
in the Coliseum, and if NU coach
Joe Cipriano has his way, there will
be more running Monday night when
the Cornhuskers meet Oklahoma.
Employing the fast break, one of
Cipriano's most beloved weapons, the
Huskers stomped Missouri 8 7-71
Saturday before 7,050 fans.
CIPRINO WAS all smiles after the
first win. "This is our game," he
said afterward. "We have to run, and
we have to press if we are to be
successful."
' The Husker's starting quinet will
again be changed for OU. "We'll go
with our running and pressing team,"
Cipriano said. That means that Marv
Stewart and Tom Scantlebury may
start as guards, and only one big
man will start.
NEITHER SCANTLEBURY nor
' Stewart started against the Tigers,
but they were the Husker's leading
scorers.
The 6-2 Scantlebury hit only two
jump shots In the first half, but came
roaring back in the second half to
lead the Huskers with 21 points. He
llhot 67 percent from the field.
Stewart, playing his best game in
weeks, shot in only six points in the
first half, but finished with 18.
-
AT ONE POINT, the Scarlet and
Cream opened up an 18-13 lead.
However the Tigers reversed things
and clawed to an eight point lead
with 38-seconds to go in the first
lalf.
The the Huskers, with an assist
from the Coliseum fans and the
vociferous Cipriano, found a spark. NU
narrowed the gap to three a t
halftime.
CIPRIANO CREDITED the burst of
scoring in the second half to the press
which set the. game tempo and gave
NU numerous layups, the fast break
and all around hustle. "It was a team
effort," he said."
Cipriano did not single out players
for good or bad performances, but
he said LeRoy Chalk played a superb
gwne.
The 3-7, 218-pound center hauled in
18 rebounds against the shorter
Tigers. LeRoy, an eternal crowd
favorite, also scored 11 points.
"We like to give Kenny Cauble more
of a chance to play, and we did,"
Cipriano continued. "Cauble i s
valuable on the press and is a strong
steady player."
IN A SHORT-LIVED experiment,
Bob Gratopp started at guard. "We
wanted to try and get more con
sistency at guard," noted Cipriano.
Gratopp had a good game with 12
points, but he saw a lot of action
at forward, his regular position.
The Huskers will need all the re
bounding they can get Monday, ac

cording to Cipriano. "Oklahoma Is a
big club with a pretty strong front
line," he said.
"Garfield Heard (Sooner forward)
is coming off a knee operation,"
Cipriano said. "At first he had some
problems, but he is coming along well
and doing an excellent job."
OKLAHOMA, WITH a 1-3 con
ference record, rests in seventh place,
just ahead of NU. The Sooners took
87-61 drubbing at Iowa State Saturday
night. "
"Of course if we could win the rest
of our games, we would still be in
the championship race," Cipriano
theorized. "But we are definitely
aiming for the upper division."

today, the last day for students to
two Senate resolutions
by Jim Pedersen
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The ASUN Reapportionment Com
mittee will submit two similar but
distinct proposals for reapportioning
the election of student senators at
Wednesday's Senate meeting.
The differences in the proposals
concern the size of the Senate and
apportionment on a living unit basis.
One proposal, made by Sen. Bruce
Cochrane, calls for a reduction in the
number of senators from 35 to 21.
The senate would be filled by 15
senators elected on an at-large basis
and six senators chosen one from each
of the five undergraduate advisory
boards and the professional and
graduate college division.
COCHRANE SAID Saturday at the
committee meeting, the good points of
the existing apportionment allow for
efficient handling of college oriented
problems and provide for several
professional and graduate college
senators who "contribute more to
Senate by the very fact that they
are older and have been at the
University longer."
"The main fault of the present
system of electing senators is that
it provides sanctuaries for senators
who can run unopposed," he added,
"while eliminating many competent
people who must run in colleges with
heavy competition.
"If we go to a living unit represen
tation, we will be facing this problem
again," Cochrane continued. "There
might be several capable people from
living units who couldn't get elected."
THE ELECTION of 15 at large
senators should meet the criticism
from the dormitories that they are
not being represented fairly, Cochrane
said.
If there are 15 people from the
dormitories who are capable and can
get the "support of the dorm residents,
they can get elected, according to
Cochrane. Likewise, 15 people in the
Greek houses who have the support
of the Greek system can get elected.
"The reason for selecting 15 as the
number of at-large senators is that a
recent study by the National Students
Association showed that a senate the
size of ours is too large to function
well," he said. "The study recom
mended that for a school the size
of the University the senate should
be from 20-25 people."
THE SECOND proposal, outlined by
committee chairman Bill Chaloupka,
would have Senate composed of 12
at-large senators, 12 senators from
districted living units, and the six ad
visory board members as in
Cochrane's plan.
Under the living unit system off
campus independent students would
vote in the at-large election. However,
off-campus Greeks would vote in the
district of their fraternity or sorority,
and freshmen sorority pledges would
vote in the district of the dormitory
in which they live.
Cochrane expressed the fear that
by including a living unit representa
tion too much control would rest with
campus political parties.
'
'UNDER A living unit system,
parties will dictate who runs from
the living units and who run in the
at-large or advisory board elections,"
Cochrane said.
According to Sen. Curt Donaldson,
add classes. Feb. 21 is the last
ui , . . . . . if
the living unit 'proposal provided
ASUN with the varied representation
it needs.
"If there is a purely at-large system
there is the possiblity of electing 15
dormitory residents or 15 Greeks,"
he added. "By using the mixed
system, we ensure that Senate will
have living unit representation and
at large representation and college
representation."
The overriding paranoia of all the
committee members with the living
unit system is that intra-Greek fac
tionalism and inter-house rivalries
will take precedent over electing com
petent senators.
COCHRANE SAID that an appor
tionment based on the at large elec
tion and advisory boards would bring
out the best senators and avoid the
problem of Greek rivalries.
John Heil. vice-president of Cather
Hall, replied that in electing senators
the objective shouldn't be to create
a campus aristocracy but rather
achieve the most representative appor
tionment. "The heavy competition in the
Greek system where the largest
fraternity or sorority could dominate
their district by block voting would
be somewhat offset by the at-large
system," according to Donaldson.
Also, he added, although each house

No classes February 14
for centennial convocation
The University will kick off its 100
birthday celebration February 14 at
a convocation featuring the president
of Princeton University, Dr. Robert
Goheen.
'Dr. Goheen is certainly a well
known and important figure in the
world of higher education," said
Wallace Peterson, chairman of the
Faculty Centennial Committee.
"He has voiced great concern for
the problems confronting higher
education," Peterson continued. "Dr.
Goheen is also a renowned leader in
educational innovation."
CLASSES WILL be dismissed for
the Centennial Convocation, which is
just one of several major events being
planned during the spring semester
to commemorate the University's
development.
NU was chartered by the Nebraska
Legislature on February 15, 1869.
First classes began two years later.
Since that time, the University has
conferred more than 82,000 degrees.
Basically, the Centennial Committee
Is planning one major activity with
is dominated by self-interest, ' there
are broader interests in the Greek
system as evidenced by the
Interfratern ty Council and
Panhellenic.
COCHRANE ADMITTED that the
living unit system should be used if
the Greek problem can be overcome
because it provides for fairer
representation.
"But if the problems of the system
cannot be worked out," he added,
"The solely at large system should
be used because it would be the most
efficient system."
The retention of at least some col
lege representation in the form of the
advisory board senators is for the
purpose of emphasizing the advisory
board, according to Chaloupka.
"The five undergraduate senators
would either be elected to a dual seat
in senate and in their college advisory
board." Chaloupka said, "or they
would be elected to the advisory board
which would then determine th
senator.
"I LEAN towards the proposal in
cluding the living unit representation
although I am not sold on it," he
continued. "If I favor this type of
apportionment or not, essentially rests
on whether we can district the living
units fairly."
