Governor Norbert Tiemann has since signed LB2 into law, and three Nebraska Wesleyan University students have already been arraigned in Lancaster County Court on the lessened charge. The law distinguishes between possessors and sellers of marijuana but provides that an amount of more than 25 cigarets or more than half, a pound merits a felony charge. Second or subsequent charges of possession of marijuana are also felony offenses. . SEN. TERRY CARPENTER, who co-sponsored LB2 with Sen. Henry Pedersen, explained his logic behind the bill. He said that the old law was simply not being enforced because county attorneys and district courts thought the penalty too severe. "Something has to be done to keep people from smoking that stuff," he commented. "Kids just don't have the right to accept one law to obey and reject the rest." Carpenter also de nounced those University professors who would repeal drug laws and thus add to the excessive permissiveness in American society. Lincoln Police Chief Joseph Carroll said that many law enforcement of iicers thought the old law was too severe regarding the first offense. "We feel that in some instances it is certainly not the intention of the individual to partake in illegal acts. At a party somone may go along with smoking marijuana as a lark without realizing that the seriousness might result in a peoitntiary sentence, Carroll said. "A misdemeanor charge might be adequate to bring these in dividuals to their senses." Carroll said that there was a problem- in enforcing the law as a lormerly read because "if we followed the letter of the law, the result would Hive a convicted individual a record which places for life." upon him a handicap HE OBSERVED that the objective of such legislation was to influence people to see the dangers in using marijuana and other injurious drugs. "We have no intentions of trying to blemish an individual's future record with felony convictions," Carrol said. The gap between the first charge of a misdemeanor and the second charge of a felony is just, according to Carroll, because a second offense would give every indication that they have disregarded the principles on which the lesser first charge penalty is based. "It would Indicate, in our terminology, that these persons are 'hooked', and more drastic steps would be required," he explained.

Low Price QUALITY SERVICE CALL 434-4079 The joining of two traditional University entertainment events is in . the oflfing for next year, according to members of Kosmet Klub and AWS. The Kosmet Klub Fall Show and AWS Coed Follies, male and female skit presentations, are under con sideration for merger, under Kosmet Klub, according to Walt Wood, Kosmet Klub fall show chairman. "Merger of the shows could create more interest," Wood said. "More living units would want to try out if the production was co-educational." Wood said that questionnaires regarding the merger have been sent to living units to gauge the reaction of participants in the programs. The questionnaires will be validated by Electoral Commissioner John McCollister, also Kosmet Klub spring show chairman. "There was no special reason we considered taking on a coed produc tion," Wood said. "It wouldn't be of particular financial benefit, since we have always had a full house. "With men and women participating in the same skits, the singing and dancing would be better," he said. Jan McGill, AWS Board member and 1969 Coed Follies chairman, said year she thought that a merger of the shows would create more interest in that type of entertainment. "As we see audiences declining and becoming more sophisticated, we seem to see a greater lack of interest in this area, while cost and time in volved increase," she said. She noted that with the imminent changes being discussed for AWS, putting women's skits under the care of Kosmet Klub would insure at least a co-ed show. "Since it seems to be the trend to phase out AWS, and the financial gains from the show won't be needed by the organization, Kosmet Klub will have the best facilities to provide for the show," she said. The decision to merge will be made later this spring, Wood said. The 1969 Kosmet Klub show is now scheduled for November 1, at which time, if accepted, women's living units would also participate in the skit3. Continued From Pagfl 1 The proposed amendments in reap portionment remain substantially the same as those proposed by the con stitutional convention. ASUN SENATE would consist of no more than 38 senators elected from districts, advisory boards, off-campus, and at large constituencies. The at-large constituency of all University students would elect eight senators. One senator would be elected from each of the five un dergraduate college alvisory boards by the members of the board. Three senators would be elected to represent the three professional colleges. The representative of the College of Dentistry would be chosen by the college's advisory board. The senators from the Colleges of Law and Pharmacy would be elected from the entire college. GREEKS would select one senator for every 750 members of the Greek system. In a change from earlier proposals, all Greeks, regardless of their place of residence, would vote In the Greek constitutency. Residence halls would elect one senator for every 750 students and are grouped into the following districts: Abel-Sandoz district, two sen ators ; Harper-Schramm-Smith distriat, two Senators; Cather-Pound-Women's Residence district, two senators; Selleck Quadrangle district, one senator; Burr-Fedde-Married Students Housing district, one senator. The combination of Furr-Fedde halls and the married students com plex is another departure from pro posals made by the constitutional convention. "DURING THE constitutional coa- Read Nebraska Want Ads vention, Burr-Fedde indicated that the they did not want to be placed in a dis trict with the co-ops," Cochrane said. "The co-ops, therefore, have been placed in the off -campus constit uency." The off-campus non-affiliated students would elect one senator for every 2,000 students. This is a change from the 1,500 suggested by the con vention. "In altering the number of off-campus students per district, we looked at the voting record of off-campus students," Cochrane added, "and also that those students who move off campus have expressed a dissatisfac tion with the dormitories, Greeks, or University on the whole." THE PROPOSED amendments also provide for two faculty represen tatives to ASUN Senate who will be appointed for staggered two-year terms. Cochrane's proposed amendments also include the method by which delegates to the NSA Convention and i NSA coordinator shall be select- t he The second vice-president of ASDN by holding that position will;3ISo function as NSA coordinator. Th -ecutive committee will appoint " the delegates and their appointments will be subject to approval by Senate. Fedra is Here "Big Deal!" Fred EDRA ARE YOU RUNNING?
