CSL statement potentially
does away with womens9 hours
by John Dvorak
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The Council on Student Life Tuesday
approved a policy statement which, in
the opinion of the majority of the
students on the council, abolishes
women's hours.
"Women's hours haven't specifically
been abolished," according to ASUN
President Bill Chaloupka. "But If
Huskers set
for bowl win
in El Paso
by Steve Sinclair
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Left out in the cold by the major
bowl games, the Nebraska Cornhuskers
have found their place in the Sun (Bowl
that is.)
The Huskers voted unanimously Mon
day to accept an invitation to play
Georgia in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 20
at El Paso, Tex.
The bowl decision was something of
a disappointment to most members of
the team after it had been reported
by bowl officials that the winner of
the Nebraska-Kansas State game would
land a spot in one of the more prestigous
bowls.
"It would be better if people didn't
let things out like that," Coach Bob
Devaney said.
Senior defensive tackle Bob Liggett,
who played one of the best games of
his career against Kansas State, said
I he team was naturally disappointed
about not going to a major bowl.
"Information leaked out that if we
beat Kansas State we would be con
sidered for a major bowl," he said.
"After doing the job on Kansas State
we found out things changed a bit."
"We have worked hard all season and
I feel we deserve to go to a bowl
game," Liggett added. "All we have
to do now is to go down and beat
the Georgia Bulldogs."
Paul Topliff, starting offensive tackle,
said the team was disappointed when
it heard the news about the bowl situa
tion. "But things changed after we heard
the whole story about the Sun Bowl."
he said.
The Big Eight championship rides on
the outcome of the Husker's last con
ference game before heading for El
Paso.
A victory over Oklahoma at Norman
on Saturday would give Nebraska at
least a tie for the Big Eight cham
pionship. A Missouri loss at Kansas
would give the Huskers sole possession
of the title.
Team members aren't going along
with the Idea that they will suffer a
letdown because of the bowl situation.
Husker kicking specialist Paul Rogers
said there wouldn't be one. Instead, ho
thought the team would have more In
centive. "We will have a chance Saturday to
show people that Nebraska has more
on the ball than some of these bowl
people and sportswrlters think," he said.
"We also have a score to settle from
last year."

The Vietnam Moratorium In
Washington D.C. last weekend brought
together about a half million people
united under a common, anti-war goal.
Most of the marchers, however, had
little hope of directly changing United
States policy in Vietnam.
About 100 Nebraskans went to the
November demonstration. Most of them
were students and all of them were
young. Some were caught up in the
excitement of the event, some were
discouraged, others were warmed by the
unitv and helpfulness of the people.
"the mood In Washington was neither
festive nor glum." Dale Kennedy, a
University of Nebraska student, said
Tuesday. "The people were there for
a purpose, but they didn't let that
purpose consume their whole person."
Few people really believed they were
accomplishing something, Kennedy
said.
"Nixon didn't announce a cease-fire
after the march, but everyone sensed
their was a greatness in the demonstra
tion," he added.
"Everyone felt that what we were
doing was right. It was a moral ac
complishment. In a sense we were
crusading for a cause that was right.
Beautiful Is the only word to describe
it, a beautiful experience."
None of the Nebraskans were overly
critical of the Washington police and
some praised the officers.
The three outbursts of violence which
marred the otherwise peaceful three-day
iemonstration were caused by yippies,

Specifically, the enactment reads, "
. . . rules and regulations with respect
to social and non-academic affairs of
the students shall not discriminate
against any student on the basis of race,
creed and sex."
Chaloupka, along with council
members Ed Icenogle, Randy Prier,
Rich Page feel that women's hours are
discriminatory and should be abolish
ed. The policy statement, approved
without dissent, was introduced by Ice
nogle and amended by Prier.
"This is a broad statement of goals
which will have a bearing on all subse
quent matters the CSL acts on," he
continued. "The statements will assist

CSL plans to
role of Athletic
by Carol Anderson
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The Council on Student Life decided
Tuesday to consider an ASUN request
to study how the Athletic Department
fits into the University's administrative
structure.
The study was also requested by Dan
Goodenberger, president of Farm House
fraternity and president of Corn Cobs.
The request came as a result of the
Athletic Department's part in closing
a Student Activities approved concession
stand during the Homecoming game.
At Tuesday's meeting Lincoln cam
puses President Joseph Soshnik in
troduced the CSL's new chairman Dean
John Robinson, Associate Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences. Soshnik
said he had regretfully accepted the
resignation of former CSL chairman Dr.
John Davis, dean of the College of
Engineering and Architecture. According
to Soshnik, Davis resigned because of
work conflicts. In his letter of resigna
tion Davis reportedly said the council
the Weatherman faction of Students for
a Democratic Society tSDS), and White
Panthers, a militant group from Detroit,
according to the Nebraskans.
"Considering that the police had to
disperse the crowd In those instances,"
Kennedy said, "they acted fairly."
Mike Hayman, another University
student who travelled to Washington and
who also went to Chicago for the October
SDS demonstrations, agreed.
"The Washington police were so much
better than the Chicago cops," he said.
"In Chicago the cops beat kids just
for being anywhere near the demonstration."

Since ' the CSL has no adopted
parlimentary proceedure, new chairman
John W. Robinson, associate dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences, agreed
to postpone other agenda items to permit
consideration of the enactment.
The policy simply restates the equal
protection clause of the United States
constitution, according to Council
member Randy Prier.
"Equality between the races and sexes
is a concept that the University hs
generally been rather stringet in apply
ing," Chaloupka said.
Icenogle said the enactment is intend
ed as a general statement not aimed
at a specific situation, although the
policy will be applicable to all areas
of student life.

required more time and energy than
he could devote to it.
The council also heard reports by the
chairmen of the Student Affairs Sub
committees on Student Organizations
and on Student Publications. Following
the reports, motions were passed to form
study groups comprised of three CSL
members and subcommittee members
to study the composition and relevance
of the subcommittees.
Dr. Russell Brown, chairman of the
Student Organizations Subcommittee,
said that his group okays constitutions
of student organizations. He said that
although his subcommittee has the
power to deny student groups the right
to organize, it has never used this power
under his chairmanship.
CSL student member Randy Prier
asked Brown if the subcommittee's
power to veto the constitutions of student
organizations was "a correct function,
if that's the way they (the student
gioup) want it?"

Both Kennedy and Hayman felt police
and press estimates of the number of
marchers were less than the actual
number there. Washington police Chief
Jerry V. Wilson issued a "modest
estimate of 250,000, while most
newspapers said 300,000 marched.
The New Mobilization Committee
estimated 1.5 million and a Washington
radio station said there were 800,000
demonstrators In Washington. Kennedy
and Hayman said the numbers fluc
tuated between 500,000 and one million.
The demonstration was policed by New
Mobe marshals as well as WaslUngton
NEBRASKA
"I have certain strong feelings about
certain areas, such as women's hours
regulations, and I'm sure many of the
Council members have similar feelings
about other areas. But this policy applies
to all areas," Icenogle said.
Robinson emphasized that he was in
agreement with the motives and desires
of the enactment, but he was hesitant
about approving it hurridly.
"If we're going to establish statements
for the future, it is not proper to run
it off and produce it in the middle
of a meeting," he said. "Our continuous
concern should be to improve the quality
of student life."
The enactment had been written by
Icenogle before the meeting, but had
not been distributed to all members of
the Council.
"I dislike acting on this without having
sufficient time to study it," commented
John W. Goebel, an assistant professor
af business law and a council member.
He emphasized, nevertheless, that he
is in sympathy with the intent of the
enactment.
Icenogle also submitted another policy
statement concerning student self
determination. It was delayed until next
week's CSL meeting.
Robinson emphasized that he is in
sympathy with the intent of the delayed
resolution, but said that the council
should "go through the wording very
finely."
The enactment said essentially that
all rules, regulations and policy of the
University shall permit maximum self
determination by individual students.
Dean of Student Affairs G. Robert
Ross pointed out that the wording is
vague and could lead to further
misunderstanding.
Alternate wording will be presented
at the next CSL meeting on Nov. 25.
Regents
opposing
Omaha Members of the University
of Nebraska Board of Regents recon
firmed their policy against open coed
visitation in a debate with graduate
students from Selleck Quadrangle at the
regular Regents meeting Monday.
The Regents last year unanimously
adopted a no-coed visitation policy and
recently had affirmed that decision in
the letters to the Selleck graduate
students.
The leader of the graduate students,
Elsie Shore, asked the Regents what
is wrong with the physical facilities of
the dorms that makes coed visitation
impossible.
Regent Robert Raun said that en
trances to bathroom facilities caused a
problem.
An instructor in the University English
department, Lawrence Wolfley, told the
Regents that students should have self
determination over their private living
quarters.
The Regents replied that they will
decide University policy since they are
the elected officials. The graduate
students have alternatives in living ar
rangements, such as moving off campus,
the Regents said.
Miss Shore reported that of 100
police. The New Mobe's grentest pro
blem was keeping militant splinter
groups under control.
"The Weathermen and White Panthers
finally broke through the New Mobe
lines shouting 'Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh'
and waving a Viet Cong Flag." Hayman
said. "The other marchers ignored them
and just gave the peace sign and kept
going."
The Nebraska demonstrators were
particularly impressed with the
friendliness and willingness to share
which prevailed among the marchers
and many onlookers.

residents of the Selleck dorm, only eight
had voted against coed visitation in a
recent poll and all have agreed to abide
by the majority vote.
The graduate students will continue
in their quest for a coed visitation, Miss
Shore said.
Several University of Nebraska at
Lincoln administrators, who had recom
mended coed visitation for the graduate
students when it was first presented
last year, did not participate in the
20 minute discussion.
In other action:
The Board of Regents adopted a
resolution of support for University of
Nebraska at Omaha President Kirk
Naylor's handling of the black student
protest last week.
"It was indeed unfortunate that the
student members of the Black Liberators
for Action on Campus tBLAC) chose
to occupy and disrupt operations at the
president's office," said a statement
read by Regent President Richard
Adkins.
"President Kirk Naylor acted
responsibly," Adkins continued, "And he
has the complete confidence of the Board
of Regents in actions taken."
Naylor announced at the meeting that
"On Thursday at the end of the Death
March, a large group of middle-aged
and elderly people asked kids if tlicv
had a place to stay," Hayman said.
"They offered us a place In their
homes."
The march wasn't just a mass
meeting, according to Ron Kurtenbach.
"The march was many individuals com
ing together to say 'no' to the war."
"But there was a unity and
w holesomeness In the crowd. People
shared food and were helpful to others.
It wasn't a football crowd."
Kurtenbach said the crowd was pro
testing the present situation In Vietnam
with little thought to whether their ac
tions were influencing the President to
alter policy.
Not all those from Nebraska who
marched were optimistic or pleased.
"A lot of people went to Washington
without too much hope of accomplishing
anything." University student Curt
Donaldson said, "but realizing that sit
ting home didn't do any good either.
"People were cheerful and friendly,
but they also were cynical. There was
a hidden pessimism because many felt
Nixon would not be listening.
"It was all so matter-of-fact," he add
ed. "I put on the sign with the dead
person's name, and walked down the
street and It was cold.
"I really couldn't convince myself we
were saying anything that really mat
tered to the people who have the power,
I didn't expect to change much or to
be changed. I just felt it was something
I ought to do."

he expects to have reports on investiga

a week to 10 days.
The Regents accepted without com
ment a statement from the University
of Nebraska at Omaha Human Relations
Committee of the Faculty Senate re
questing that charges against the 54
black students arrested last week be
dropped.
Tha Regents voted to extend the
policies of the "Student in the Academic
Community" document and the "Policy
Statement on Campus Disorders" to the
Omaha campus. Previously, those
documents had prevailed only on-ih
Lincoln campuses.
Adkins announced that a permanent
chancellor may be named by the first
of the year, lie refused to say if all
eight candidates hud been interviewed.
He again refused to identify any of
the candidates.
A decision was made concerning
undergraduate students in chemistry on
the Lincoln campus who will view
demonstrations of chemical reactions
through closed circuit television i n
Hamilton Hall which Is Hearing comple
tion. The Regents awarded a contract for
a system that Includes a television
camera and recorder plus 43 23-inch
