Dickey in the dirt as Wildcats topple before Blackshirts in Big Eight clash flipf """he MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, University of Nebraska students Peaceful protest moves marred by militant action An estimated 300,000 persons peacefully paraded their protest against the Vietnam war at the Washington Moratorium observance Saturday. About 100 University of Nebraska students end faculty were among the crowd. Trouble flared five blocks away as about 5,000 demonstrators threw rocks and bottles at the Department of Justice and then at po ice lines. Demonstrators retreated when police fired tear gas. Another marr to the peaceful massive antiwar rally was the trouble amid a match organized by the Youth Interna tional Party lYippies) to protest the conspiracy trial of the Chicago Eight. Dr. Ivan Volgyes writes Hanoi; 4We are not aiding their cause' by Sara Schwleder NVbraskaa Staff Writer North Vietnamese support of the anti war demonstrations has been rejected in a letter to the Hanoi delegation writ ten by a University of Nebraska pro fessor. The letter by Dr. Ivan Volgyes, NU political science professor, to Xuan Thuy, Hanoi's chief negotiator, in reac tion to North Vietnam statements back ing American anti-war efforts. The letter asserted that "We, honest Americans, citizens of the U.S., are in disagreement . . . with our President . . . This is a quarrel in which, we feel, you have no business intervening." Volgyes indicated that although pro testors are "morally repelled by the corruption and brutality of the Saigon government." they also "do not consider the government of North Vietnam and the Viet Cong worthwhile supporting." Volgyes ended the letter by noting that "Those of us who demonstrate for ending this war do ttot want to destroy America, the government of the U.S. or even its President; we just want our country to follow course . . . which is bused on justice and truth." Volgyes expounded upon his letter Sunday in an interview with the Daily Nvbraskan. O m in 1969 helped canvass Lincoln Thursday and atorium. David Dellinger, 54, a defendant In the Chicago trial, had taken a microphone at the rally to urge the thousands to participate in the Yippie march.

When demonstrators tried to regroup, "We don't need Hanoi's help and we don't want their help either," he said. "We are not aiding their cause." Volgyes felt that only a very few anti war protestors are Communists. "The peace movement and North Vietnam agree that the U.S. must get out of Vietnam, but similarities end there. Our argument is with our govern ment who doesn't want to be influenced by public opinion." Volgyes said that he doesn't think the demonstrations will have an effect on foreign policy because, "Nixon just refuses to listen." Volgyes was also concerned about re rent statements made by Vice-President Spiro Agnew. He asserted that Agnew's remarks were tinged with communist thinking. "In communist countries, people are allowed to freely express their opinions if they happen to favor government policy. When Agnew said that protestors "Should be discarded like rotten apples. he was saying that those who disagree with government policy must be done away with." Volgyes said Agnew 's remarks reflect elements of a backlash that will further repress dissent if it b allowed to continue. lie- ..'5 J'ljy l I I ; f 7 j ' j: l; j I , t A I j i " A J : 111 L by John Dvorak Negraskaa Staff Writer MANHATTAN, Kan. - Nearly 10,000 Big Red fans journeyed south Saturday for the Kansas State-Nebraska clash and their cry throughout the game was "Dickey in the Dirt." The Nebraska defense responded with a 10-7 victory. The Huskers stopped the Purple Power, as well as the Big 8's leading quarterback Lynn Dickey, in what everyone thought would be a high scor ing affair. The Wildcats had been averaging 35 points a game, but the game turned into a bitter defensive struggle with both teams being stopped several times near the goal line. The Husker defense, which is improv ing week by week, stopped KSU players seven times behind the line of scrim mage. The biggest was a nine-yard loss sustained by quarterback Dickey. At other times, the Black Shirts forced Dickey to scramble for his life. "Lynn Dickey is much quicker than people give him credit for," NU Coach Bob Devaney said. "He's almost as good at finding his receivers under pressure than at any other time." It was Dickey who nearly turned the game into a Wildcat victory. With little more than a minute re maining, KSU took a Dan Schneiss punt on the K-State 40. Dickey passed for 12 yards, then for 18 yards and the Cats were on the NU 30. On fourth down at the 27, Dickey pass- vLp LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Friday as part of the Vietnam Mor police again resorted to tear gas. But the winds drove the fumes back on the police and to the Justice Depart ment, sending Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell running for cover. During the confusion the demonstrators replaced the American flag with that of the Viet Cong and then ran off with the American banner so that police could not replace it. While the moratorium marchers mov ed peacefu ly police broke up a fight between SDS members and members of the more militant Weatherman faction near George Washington University. Thousands rallied in protest of the war in Golden Gate Park in San Fran cisco. It was the largest rally of the year ou the West Coast with the mobilization committee claiming 250,000 and police estimating 85,000 people. The rally followed an orderly somber march from the San Francisco Bay waterfront where 10,000 early arrivals mobi ized. Led by 20 Vietnam war veterans carrying a banner reading, "Not One More Dead." the crowd grew steadily during the seven-mile march through the city to the park. At the rally, Ralph Abernathy. head of the Southern Christian Conference, got a big ovation when he said- "Who is the one calloused individual who is going against the current of history and social change to reinforce the myth that American supports the war? Nixon's the one. We catuiot rest until the American government learns that the people of the world will hav no part of imperialism." Parisians thwarted In London, about 1.000 demonstrators carrying antiwar placards marched In front of the American Embassy. In Paris police picked up potential marchers by the hundreds preventing all but a couple of small demonstrations. In Randolph, Mass., 600 people mostly teenagers, jeered 90 peace marchers Friday night. About 7$ policemen kept the two groups separated. In New Orleans about 40 demonstrators marched to the fifth floor of the Federal Building and found the Selective Service office locked. About 300 staged a brief rally outside the building. J lu halfback Ma.k Herron who drop ped the ball, but officials called Nebraska for interference and KSU had a first down on the 15. With 16 seconds left, Dickey passed complete to flanker Bob Long who tried desperately to get out of bounds. But KSU had no time outs left, and the clock ticked off the final eight seconds before the Wildcats could run another play. The white-shoed Dickey, who admits that his hero is New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath, completed 19 passes in 35 attempts. The running game netted K-State only 73 yards. Devaney praised the Husker defense. Tackle Bob Liggett, according to Devaney, had his finest game. Other people like tackle Dave Walline, end Sherwin Jarmon and middle guard Ken Geddes were superb. Even though the final score and statistics don't show it, K-State started out as if they would move the ball almost at will. Two early Nebraska drives resulted in missed field goal attempts by NU's Paul Rogers. Then KSU took over and moved 80 yards in 12 plays for their only touchdown of the game. Several runs by tailback Russell Har rison, a native of Omaha, and a pass interference call on the six yard line against Husker co-captain Dana Stephenson highlighted the drive. That and several other calls by the uJJ L ASUN may hire lawyer for study The Associated Students of the University of Nebraska may soon hire a lawyer to investigate the current method of allocating student fees. A reliable source who wished to re main anonymous told the "Daily Nebraskan" Sunday that the lawyer, if hired, will be used to determine exactly how student fees are allocated under the present system The lawyer would also determine ways of legally changing the system if 'it was found to be unsatisfactory, the source said. "Students are concerned because thev do not feel they have been given full information about the financial structure of the University," the source continued. "It seems that the services of a lawyer may be necessary to find out this in formation." The source said that It Is the responsibility of students to work con structively for the betterment of the University. "But before we can move ahead, we must know where we stand at present," the source added. "The University should not CSL meets The Council on Student Life has a meeting scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday in the Nebraska Union. According to an agenda released this weekend by Dr. G. Robert Ross, secretary of the Council, the student-faculty-administrator group will con sider a request from the Stu dent Senate to investigate the decision-making powers of the Athletic Department. The Council is also scheduled to talk with chairmen of the former subcommittees of the Legal advice Students may soon have a lawyer they can call for legal assistance if they are arrested. Randy Prier, member of the ASUN Legal Rights Committee, said Thurs day that a proposal is under study to hire a lawyer to represent students in emergency situations. The lawyer would be retained by ASUN and students would be able to call him when the necessity arose. Prier continued. A lawyer might also be hired to handle legal problems for students that do not Involve arrest situations, he added. "A number of other universities have done both of these things." Prier continued.

"I did not agree with some of the calls," he said. "Although they were strictly judgment calls by the officials." After the penality Herron slashed off right tackle for the touchdown, and Max Arreguin converted the extra point. By the second quarter, however, the Husker defense began to exercise its superiority. After a Jerry Tagge pass was in tercepted, KSU moved to the Nebraska 19. The Cats then moved to the two yard line, but the Black Shirts held and a field goal try from the 10 was wide to the right. Later another Wilcat drive was blunted when All-American candidate Ken Ged des intercepted a Dickey pass and returned it 24 yards to the NU 45. The second half ended with KSU's kickoff man Bill Bridges failing on a 50 yard field goal attempt. "People had trouble with field goals in that open end of the stadium," Devaney noted. The open end of the new KSU stadium created a twisting wind which resulted in two missed field goals by each team in the first half. The Huskers began to move in the second half with sophomore Van Brownson at the controls and junior Dan Schneiss at fullback. On the second drive of the half, Brownson led the Big Red to the KSU VOL 93, NO. 35 misconstrue what we are trying to do," the source said. "This is not the attempt of students to make trouble. It is a valid and necessary function of students to work for a better University. "There is no reason for anyone to fear investigation if there is nothing wrong with their activities. We feel there is a definite need to know how student fees are allocated and hiring a lawyer may be the only way to find out." The lawyer would also be used for other functions necessary to ASUN. ASUN is a corporation and thus has certain powers under its articles of cor poration. However, these have never been clearly defined. "It will probably be necessary to have legal assistance in defining exactly what the powers and limitations of ASUN are." the source added. The source said that there is also no clear definition at present of what rights student organizations have in relation to other University activities. The lawyer would also be charged with defining these relationships from a legal standpoint. 1 on Tuesday Committee on Student Affairs. The Council has been created as parent body of the subcom mittees, and plans to review and revise the boards, one Coun cil member said. Several student members also indicated to the Daily Nebraskan they plan to in troduce legislation to authorize studying several important areas of student life, including the University's court systems, student self-determination and equality of rules governing students. now studied possibility that we will be able to do them here." He said the Legal Rights Committee has been studying the student government's capacity to provide funds and researching the project with the National Student Association Legal Rights Director. "We hope to get this thing going during the second semester," Prier continued. He added that the project was not funded in this year'3 ASUN budget, but that it might be able to draw on the student government's general fund. "We hope that we can get the service funded on a regular basis next year," he added. '"'i' f IT""" 1 J u PHetv fey Dm Trvnwft 22 yard line. A 39 field goal by Rogers put the Huskers on the scoreboard. Early in the fourth quarter the Huskers had a fourth down on the KSU 14. Rather than try a field goal, Devaney elected to go for the first down. "We thought we would catch the defense off guard," Devaney commented. Brownson threw a pass behind Schneiss however, and the Cats took over. On the first play of the next series, however, Schneiss ran an option lateral 34 yards to the KSU 14. Brownson hit Schneiss with a pass at the three. After . two plunges by tailback Jeff Kinney, Brownson pushed in for the score. Roger's extra point ended the day's scoring. Devaney had nothing but praise for Schneiss .The 6-2, 222 pound junior fullback has not started a game this year, but he rushed for 92 yards on 12 carries, a 7.7 average. He also caught three passes for 44 yards. "Dan is not as speedy as Mike Green," Devaney said, "But he is fast, he keeps his feet moving and he has good power." Schneiss also had his greatest day as a punter, keeping KSU constantly in a hole with his 49.1 yard average on seven kicks. According to Devaney, Schneiss did the "finest job of kicking in a game since we have been at Nebraska." Devaney also observed that Saturday's victory, the 101st of his 12 year career, ended almost identical to the first win as a head coach at Wyoming in 1957. "We were playing Kansas State in the first game of the year," Devaney recalled. "We beat them something like 12-7 but the game ended with them on our three yard line." Devaney will shoot for victory number 102 next week at Norman, Okla. As a Cornhusker and Wyoming head coach, Devaney has never beaten the Oklahoma Sooners at Norman. "Oklahoma has always been tough for us," he observed. "They have Steve Owens, a Heisman Trophy candidate and sophomore quarterback Jack Mildren, an excellent scrambler, although not quite as good a passer as Dickey." Owens, who ran for 201 yards against Kansas Saturday and scored three touchdowns, can run over and through people, Devaney noted. He gets even tougher when hit and he is elusive, the Husker mentor said. Owens is the leading scorer in college football, and also one of the top five rushers as well.

The question is 'which bowl'? It appears that Notre Dame might be the key to the NU bowl scramble. The fighting Irish have followed a no bowl policy in recent years, but in dicated some weeks ago they might change that policy. If Notre Dame decides to accept a bowl bid, they would possibly play Penn State in the Orange Bowl. That would mean Tennessee and the winner of the Texas-Arkansas game would probably meet in the Cotton Bowl. The loser of the Texas-Arkansas clash would pro bably meet Missouri in the Sugar Bowl. In such a situation, Nebraska would probably be pitted against Florida in the Gator Bowl on Dec. 27 In Jackson ville. Fla. Nebraska is also thought to be high on the list of the Sun Bowl and the Bluebonnet Bowl. However, if Notre Dame does not go to a bowl, the Orange bowl is expected to go with Penn State against Missouri. That would leave the Sugar or Cotton Bowls open for a possible Nebraska bid. The situation should be somewhat clarified Monday afternoon. NCAA regulations forbid any formal bowl bids from being extended before noon CST, Monday. "If the bowls want to talk to us we'll listen," Nebraska Coach Bob Devaney said Saturday. He added that he felt his players would like to go to a bowl. Representatives of the Cotton, Gator Sun, Liberty and Peach Bowls all visited the Husker locker room following Saturday's Victory.
