New lottery system
be re
may
In spite of the tension and controversy
surrounding the new lottery draft
system, it is very possible that the
system will be changed again next year,
according to Nebraska's Director of
Selective Services.
Col. Lee Liggett said Tuesday that
Congress will probably examine the en
tire system next year. "For this reason,
it is hard to speculate what the draft
situation will be in coming years."
Ho added that Congress may change
the system or may leave It In Its present
form.
.However, there are some questions
about the lottery system as It now
stands.
Liggett said that tho new system is
simply a method of determining the
order in which eligible men are selected
for military service. It replaces the old
system, where the oldest eligible men
were taken first, he added.
The numbers drawn Monday night
establish the priority for all men
between 19 and 26, he explained.
However, only those without deferments
will be immediately affected by their
numbers.
Students with deferments will keep
these deferments In the same way as
under the old system. But, when they
graduate or otherwise lose their student
deferments they will be placed in the
draft pool for that year with the priority
number drawn Monday.
Yearly drawings are planned under
the system to set priority of calls for
new 19 year-olds.
He explained that a person who loses

If his number group is not called

moves Into a category that will only
be drafted if the 19 year-old pool is
exhausted, Liggett said.
He added that during 1970 the selection
pool will consist of all eligible men
between 19 and 26. In future years the
pool will consist only of eligible 19 year
olds and those older who have lost their
deferments, Liggett said.

State drug arrests increase

If arrest statistics Involving marijuana
mean anything, more people in Nebraska

The Nebraska State Patrol drug con

Established by tho legislature In 1967,
the division made 40 arrests in its first
year of vxlstencc. That number grew
to 232 last year and may reach 500

Athletic Department's
in NU structure to be
by Carol Anderson
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The Council on Student Life discussed
Tuesday what questions they will ask
Athletic Director Bob Devaney about the
Athletic Department's position in the
University structure when he appears
before the Council in January.
Controversy over the Athletic Depart
ment flared when campus police, under
direction of the Athletic Department,
closed down a Homecoming day charity
concession stand operated by students
near Memorial Stadium.
Final authority
The CSL discussed at length who has
final authority over the use of
University property. Vice Chancellor G.
Robert Ross said the Regents delegated
final authority to the University's
business manager who receives recom
mendations from Student Activities. On
the concession stand issue, Ross said,
"I feel personally that there was more
than one instance where poor judge
ment was used."
Members concluded that the chain of
authority should be emphasized so that
students know where to go for valid
permission to carry out activities.
Chairman John VV. Robinson question
ed the right of the University business
manager to make deicisions relating to
student life.
"We should look at the Athletic
Department to see if there is room for
student participation in its decisions,"
Robinson continued, in reply to Ross's
statement that the Athletic Department
is responsible only to President
Soshnik.
The CSL chairman said, "I find it
shocking that a charitable concession
stand could be shut down because it
was thought to be in competition with
the Athletic Department."
Ross said that neither the campus
police, nor the Athletic Department knew
that the stand was being operated for
charity.
The Council passed Randy Prier's
motion to incorporate the Housing Policy
Committee under the CSL's direct in
fluence. Student chairman of the com
mittee of four faculty and three students,
Bob Brandt, said being under the council
supervision would give his committee
direction.
Conflict of interests
Student Rich Page expressed concern
about a possible conflict of Interests,
since one of the responsibilities of the
Housing Policy Committee is to fill up
the dorms. This might be incongruent
with the Council's goal of working to
improve student life, Page said.
Robinson appointed a subcommittee to
study rules for the operation of the
council and another to study the student
self-determination resolution.
Tuesday's CSL meeting was much
friendlier than the pre-Thanksgiving
session, which ended amid a few ruffled
feathers and flaring debate. Opinions
clashed in a 10 to 4 vote to refer the
self-determination resolution to a study
committee.
The resolution, Introduced by Ed
Icenogle, named as a council goal max
imum self-determination for students in
their non-academic and social life.
Icenogle strongly opposed Ross' motion
to send his resolution to a study com
mittee. -
"I see a need for a study group to
determine how to implement council

marijuana than In the past. Our staff
(consisting of four persons) remains the

Rowe, howeWr, says the Increased
arrests may be attributed, In part, to
increased efficiency. "I think our men
are much more familiar with recognizing
the cases," he says. "I guess that would
have to mean we have more efficiency."

policies, but not on this issue which
is so basic to a democratic society,"
he argued.
CSL faculty members were more
reluctant to act immediately on the self
determination issue because of reaction
following speedy passage Nov. 17 of
another Icenogle resolution calling for
equality under University rules ac
cording to race creed and sex.
To get faculty members' support, stu
dent advocates of the equality measure
had said it would serve only as a policy
guideline, having no specific application
in itself. But following passage of the
resolution, several student members said
in a Daily Nebraskan interview that
the measure could mean no hours for
women. This raised hopes among some
students that abolition of women's hours
was imminent.
Student members Randy Prier, Bill
Chaloupka and Icenogle hurried to
assure several miffed faculty collegues
that their statements had been in
terpreted too broadly but failed at that
time to reinstitute the Council's initial
atmosphere of trust and cooperation.
"We're not being fair to students if
we don't say what we mean," Dr. John
Goebel stated. "It's my understanding
that if we make policy, then students
have every right to make their own
rules like coed visitation or no women's
hours." But the council failed to
determine a method for implementing
its policies.
Robinson referred to the Student in
an Academic Community document
which excluded sex in its statement of
equality and said, "We wouldn't have
been so quick to pass your motion
last week (equality resolution) if we
had known this."
Exclusion, a mistake
Icenogle replied that the exclusion was
a mistake in the document and asked,

Coed optional hours system
expanded in latest CSL action
by John Dvorak
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Student self determination and
women's hours continue to be major
issues in the Council on Student Life.
An optional hours experiment now
underway in Sandoz and Smith Women's
Residence Halls was expanded to include
any women who have been enrolled in
the University for one semester, as a
result of CSL action on Nov. 25.
Under the policy statement, approved
the last day of classes before
Thanksgiving vacation, women students
will select their own hours.
Parental okay
Parental permission will be needed
for girls under 20 years old. The policy
statement goes into effect at the beginn
ing of second semester.
Some CSL members, however, feel the
policy statement contradicts another
policy statement CSL approved on
November 18. That statement said that
rules and regulations concerning social
affairs of students shall not discriminate
on the basis of sex.
Randy Prier, a student CSL member,
said the optional hours policy is in
"direct contradiction" with the non
do not even reflect how much activity
is actually going on.
"Most people caught," he continues,
"stick out like a sore thumb. One person,
who was from out-of-state, was using
a U-IIaul trailor, and the vegetation
particles were sticking out of the
trailer."
He said another pvrson was ap
prehended when he tried to check a
trunklond of marijuana at a local bus
depot. "Again," Rowe said, "part of the
stuff was sticking out."
Many times, Rowe added, a person's
dress indicates something unusual. "A
person Just dresses according to the
country in which he lives, most of the
time," Rowe says.
Most arrests involve out-of-state
criminals, according to Rowe. "Most
people arrested are college age, 18-26,"
he related. "Many times they are
financed from someone on the west
coast, given an airplane ticket and $500.
Seldom is the person financing the trip
caught. He operates on the least possible
risk."
Rowe sidestepped making an estimate
on the percentage of persons ap
prehended as opposVd to the number
of persons actually involved In the use
of marijuana.
"I've heard 10 per cent of the drugs
which come across the Mexican border
Is seized by custom officials." Rowe
said. "Since our law enforcement
machinery is much more porous, ob
viously we don't arrest 10 per cent of
what is being used."
In an Academic Community document?"
Walt Strong was concerned that
distortion of Council resolutions students
may lose faith in CSL.
"I think students feel pretty good
about the Council because of last week,"
Strong said referring to passage of the
equality measure.
Rich Page agreed that the best way
to keep students interested and op
timistic is for the Council "to do things."
A proposal to expand the Sandoz Hall
optional hours experiment to all women
except first semester freshmen was in
troduced by Mary Lund acting in her
capacity as AWS vice president.
Page termed the move progressive,
but touched off vehement discussion by
saying it conflicted with the council's
newly passed equality resolution. The
AWS proposal excluded first semester
freshmen from the optional hours system
and retained parental permission for
women under 20 as a requirement.
Randy Prier submitted an amendment
that would have revamped the AWS
motion. Prier's resolution, which was
defeated, would have given each living
unit the power to "make their own social
rules and regulations with respect to
hours which shall take effect the first
day of second semester, 1969-70."
Ross said he was concerned about
procedure "not whether it is a valid
amendment." He said it would be im
proper for the council to change the
AWS proposal.
Chaloupka questioned whether AWS
should have more say over women's
hours than the individual living unit and
proposed referring Prier's amendment
to AWS for discussion.
Robinson said Prier's amendment was
really a new motion, because it ques
tioned the authority of AWS and asked
both Prier and Miss Lund to reconsider
their motions and report back to the
council. Both refused and the AWS mo
tion passed with a vote of 9-5.
discrimination policy approved the week
before.
He pointed out that the parental
permission clause and the fact that first
semester freshmen women are not eligi
ble for the optional hours policy is
discriminatory.
Dean of Student Affairs G. Robert
Ross, secretary of the CSL, feels dif
ferently, however.
Approval of the optional hours system
is a step towards implementation of the
non-discrimination statement, Ross
said.
Own hours policy
Ross would not specifically

"I do support the idea of women and
men students having the same rules,"
he said. "And I have always supported
proposals that would allow women's liv
ing units to decide their own hours
policy."
Some student leaders had interpreted
the CSL non-discrimination policy state
ment to mean that women's living units
could abolish women's hours at will.
Dr. John W. Robinson, associate dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences and
chairman of the CSL said the statement
was intended to be a guideline for future
enactments.
A CSL policy statement concerning
student self-determination In non
academic affairs was referred to special
subcommittee. It Is scheduled to emerge
at the Jan. 6, 1970 CSL meeting for
consideration.
The resolution had been proposed by
CSL student member Ed Icenogle. It
Bill Russell to speak
Thursday in Union
The man who led the Boston Celtics
to U world basketball titles in 13 years
will speak at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in
the Nebraska Union Centennial Room.
Bill Russell, who retired this summer
as player-coach of the Celtics to pursue
a career in the entertainment field, was
regarded as a revolutionary force in
basketball.
Prior to Russell the big man in
basketball was used primarily as an
offensive weapon. Russell was given
credit for capitalizing on the blocked
shot and other defensive techniques
which have become essential for players
to master to make it in the pro ranks.
Russell's accomplishments have not
been limited to his pro basketball career.
The University of San Francisco was
unbeaten in 59 games, Including a na
tional championship, when he played
there. He won a gold medal playing
on the 1956 Olympic team.

said basically that all rules, regulations
and policy of the University shall permit
maximum self-determination by in
dividual students.
Several CSL members voicud concern
over the wording of the resolution,
although they said they were in agree
ment with the principles of the resolu
tion. CSL member Bill Chaloupka defended
the postponement of the self determina
tion issue. The Council wanted to make
certain of the interpretations and im
plications of the resolutions, Chaloupka
said.
One of those implications is the issue
of coed visitation. According to
lcenogle's original motion, student living
units would have the right to decide
whether or not to have coed visitation.
CSL members are concerned about
coed visitation. Robinson, at a recent
meeting, stated that coed visitation for
undergraduates may still be several
years away.
Addltloual support
Two University administrators have
stated they could support various coed
visitation plans. Ross recommended last
year that a request by a graduate stu
dent group for coed visitation be ap
proved by the Regents.
Housing Director Ely Mcyerson has
also said publicly that he could support
a limited system of coed visitation.

self determination are not dead." ac
