Faculty, students to hold discussion on education Concerned University students and faculty members will hold a forum on progressive education on the North lawn of Love Library at 2:30 p.m. April 17, according to NU junior Mark Saunders. Discussion topics will include: Klimination of academic credit from University ROTC program; Elimination of faculty status from ROTC instructors; Addition of courses on world cultures and political involvement to the present University curriculum; Replacement of the current grading system with fail-pass pass-with-honors sstem. Several University Instructors are expected to address the gathering and students are encouraged to lead discussions of their, own, according to Saunders. The forum is not sponsored by any specific University organization. Saunders noted, because students need to evaluate their individual educational needs rather than merely becoming involved in group ideals." Problems are solved; Scrip is on the What has happened to "Scrip" magazine, the University's literary voice? This question was asked in March of Dace Grots, editor of the University of Nebraska Review," formerly "Scrip." At that time, Miss Grots explained ti'at the "Review" was not published 1 ist semester because of several "problems with the staff " -She also s.td that this semester's Issue was I dug printed in Henderson and would be out In "a few weeks." Miss Grots said In March that the magazine is being printed in Hen nerson to save money. Dr. Robert Narveson, professor of English and adviser to the "Review," explained how the magazine is fi nanced: The Kngllsh department subsidizes the magazine with $100 a year from the Uren Stcpanek (a former Unl- NU students protest administration's inability to provide relevant programs by Johu Dvorak Nebraskan Staff Writer "Bring a brother and a brick and l here Wednesday at one o'clock," shouted Wayne Williams, president of the Afro-American Collegiate Society, at the conclusion of a chanting and hand clapping demonstration Tuesday aitcrnoon. Approximately 70 people, predominately black students, stood on Uie edge of the sidewalks east of the NU Administration Building for more than an hour, "This protest Is the result of the administration's inability to imple ment relevant programs for minority groups In general and black studenti specifically," he said In a mimeographed statement. The demonstrators symbolically blocked one of the sidewalks leading to the administration building with a wall of bricks. Further along, black student stood In front of one ad ministration door. The demonstrators shouted slogans, "action! action!" end "black power." Their hand clapping, which lasted about 45 minutes, could be heard way versity English professor) fund.

"The English department provides financial assistance, but the produc tion of the magazine is entirely handled by the students," Narveson said. "This semester, there have leen plenty of contributions." Narveson said that the English de partment had not subsidized the "Re view" yet this semester, but was waiting for it to come out. "If the magazine isn't published, we'll save the money for next fall's issue," he said. Narveson added that next semester's staff "would be se lected soon," and that anyone who is interested in working on the literary magazine should leave his name at the English department. throughout the administration building. Campus President Dr. Joseph Soshnik, who observed the gathering along with other administrators Irom the windows of the building, said that tli demonstration was peaceful. The operations of the University have not been impaired, Soshnik said. One door to the" administration building was blocked, but he pointed out that there are other entrances to the building. The demonstrators have not talked to Soshnik personally. They Indicated to University officials that the demonstration was to be peaceful. University Chancellor Dr. Merk Hobson could not be reached for comment. A list of the black students' con cerns has also been mimeographed, but It has not been released for publication. Williams could not discuss the concerns, and he refused to call them "demands." "We don't want to talk about our concerns to the press until w have discussed them with the administra tion," Williams aid after the Bond criticizes Vietnam. while issuing challenege to action by Jim Pedersen Nebraskan Staff Writer The people at the bottom of the ladder in American society are those who must attack the twin evils of the 20th century : racism and militarism. Julian Bond, 29, Georgia legislator and vice presidential nominee at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, told an East Campus Union Auditorium crowd Tuesday that In dians, blacks and Spanish speaking peoples must first recognize that they are dealing with evil men and an evil system. BOND, who received two lengthy ovations before he even began his speech, also criticized the Nixon Ad ministration, American war policy in Vietnam and issued a challenge to, action to the students. "The legislative backlash against students in the form of punishments exclusively for student action, lower budgets for colleges and other restrictions on higher education is a reaction to violent student demonstrations," Bond said. What is irritating to Bond is that young people have not been involved in political campaigns for good can didates to fill legislatures with people who have the best interest of higher education in mind. "Why should legislatures b e responsive to students?" he added. "Can you vote? No. Your political apathy is notorious. You are a political non-equity." IF STUDENTS get out and defeat a candidate, according to Bond, other politicians will learn their lesson. Bond was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives three times before he was allowed to take his seat. He was denied entrance by members of the legislature who op posed his statements on the Vietnam War, and it took a Supreme Court ruling before Bond could take liis seat. . "It has been said that Vietnam is being raped. If you were being raped would you rather have gradual de escalation or. immediate withdraw al?" Bond asked. Nixon has failed to unved a plan to end the war, a plan he claimed he had months ago, he added. Recent action or inaction by the Nixon administration in the field of school de-segregation was also a target of Bond's criticism. "NIXON BEGAN his reign by tell ing schools who refuse to integrate that they must do so in two months," according to Bond. "That is like so meone committing a murder in 1954 (referring to the reversal of the separate but equal doctrine in 1954) but it is 19G9 before he is charged. On campus today Seminar On The Disadvantaged Child will be held at 4:30 p.m. Stu dents interested in attending the seminar should meet by the clocks in the Nebraska Union Lounge. New members of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma XI. national honoranes will be presented at a joint banquet at 6 p.m. In the Nebraska Union. Guest speaker will be Dr. C. Bertram! SehulU, director of the University Museum, who will discuss "One Hundred Years of Fossil Hunting in Nebraska." Dr. George Beadle, for- demonstration. The students displayed some placards. One demanded A f r o American studies to be Included in the curriculum at NU. According to other posters, the group Is concerned with the financial and cultural needs of the black students at NU. According to Dr. Lee W. Chatfield. associate dean of student affairs, the black students are "impatient to get things done. Aren't all young people?" he questioned. Chatfield said that the students are rather impatient with Soshnik. the campus president and the NU Board , of Regents. Apparently, the students wanted Soshnik to address a meeting of the Afro-American Collegiate Society. Chatfield said. "When 1 want to talk to Dr. Soshnik. I go up to his office." Chatfield said. The black ttudents are being encouraged to do that. Chatfield also said that the students want to tatk with the Board of Regents, but he said that the Regents would not be adequately Informed of the situation right away. The Board meets this Saturday. Except for the involved students, And then it is two more months before any action is taken." Former President Johnson took the correct line of action when he cut off federal funds to segregated schools, he continued. Bond feels reforms must be made in the poverty program and other projects aimed at raising living stan dards for the poor in America. "I am interested in reforms which would have job training that results in jobs, not just trained people," he said, "and in education which gives minority groups the ability to read and write, not just a high school diploma." A member of the audience asked Bond how he proposed to pay for such extensive reforms. His cynical reply: By taking every cent you have. "FIRST OF ALL. the tax schedules in America must be altered." Bond said seriously. "Poor people pay more taxes than rich people, while the middle class carries the burden. "Secondly, we must re-examine our priorities. Is it more important to spend billions of dollars defending 14 million Vietnamese who aren't too hot about being defended anyway, or is it more important to spend that money to help many more million people in the U.S. who are living in hunger and poverty? "I don't see anything wrong with guaranteed incomes. A lot of farmers in this state have guaranteed incomes. Has this made them lazy and shiftless? No. They are going to not plant as much this year as they didn't plant last year." In a question and answer period, Bond was asked his opinion oh the Anti-ballistic Missile System (ABMi controversy. "I AM OPPOSED to the installation of ABM systems," he replied. "We simply don't need it. We already have . 13 times overkill power over Russia, No matter how much of an anti-communist you areM surely once is enough." According to Bond, what will even tually stop racism is the elimination of the ability of racist nations to in fluence the lives of other people. Right riow ethnic and minority groups. Bond believes, must form shifting and non-permanent allian ces. "These groups should build a political movement strong enough to operate without a revolution," Bond said. "The movement should be ready to use fair and ordinary methods to achieve their goals, but it should not dismiss violent methods even though they are unrealistic." Bond, feels the movement should also include the young. "It should include the young people from Chicago, from those who mer president of the University Chicago, will be a special guest of at the banquet. Slides from the University Kosmet Klub production of Camelot will be shown in the Nebraska Union small auditorium at 8 p.m. Interested stu dents and faculty may attend. Alpha Lambda Delta will hold its election of officers for l9-70 in the Nebraska Union at 7 p.m. Only those attending may be nominated for election. no one knew of the plans for the demonstrations before Tuesday after noon, although Williams said It was not spontaneous and had been carefully planned. No one knows what will happen at the demonstration this afternoon. "1 am quite confident that tbe se cond demonstration will be peaceful," Chatfield said. He speculated that a physical confrontation could develop if someone attempted to assault the demonstrators. The first demonstration was. peaceful throughout. Several students did try to enter the Administration building through the blocked door. They were requested to go back down the sidewalk and use another entrance. They did. A delivery man was also turned back. About 50 students, faculty and ad ministrators viewed the demonstra tion. No police officers appeared at the demonstration. The Office of Student Affairs has said sometime ago that demonstra tions on campus are acceptable if no civil laws are broken and the regularly scheduled functions of the University are not disrupted. marched with James Meredith in Mississippi and from those who think academic life is sterile and irrele vant," he added. Bond also poked fun at Vice-President Agnew and the Governor of Georgia, Lester Maddox. "I noticed a small article in the New York Times recently acclaiming the smallest book in the world," he said.

The title was 'The Life and Convictions of Spiro T. Agnew!' " Maddox, Bond added, would gladly have come to Nebraska to speak had he been invited, but he experienced a tragedy last week.
