Students hold margin

Students will outnumber
faculty and administrators
beginning next September on
the Housing Policy Committee
(HPC) because of action taken
Tuesday by the Council on
Student Life.
CSL approved a report by
Bob Brandt, student chairman
of HPC, recommending a
change of composition from
three students and four faculty
members or administrators to
seven students and five faculty
members or administrators.
According to Brandt, HPC
deals with issues such as coed
visitation, Schramm's coed
dorm propositi and race
segregation in living units.
Early in the school year HPC
was mainly concerned with
discrimination in off-campus
housing, he said.
HPC also passed proposals on
open houses, IDA hours and
IDA's open lounges before they
were reviewed by Vice
chancellor for Student Affairs,
Spanish Club
to show film
El Circulo Espanol, Spanish
Club at the University of
Nebraska, will show the film
"Welcome, Mr. Marshall,"
Thursday, Feb. 19, at 7:00 p.m.
in the Love Library
Auditorium.
The film, directed by Luis
Berlanga, has English sub
titles. Tickets can be purchased
at the door.
"Welcome, Mr. Marshall" Is
a satire on local reaction to the
Marshall Plan in a typical
Spanish Castillian village set
ting. It earned prizes for best
comedy and best script and the
International Critics' Prize at
the Cannes Film Festival in
1953 according to Roberto Es-quenazi-Mayo,
Director of
Latin American and Interna,
tional Studies.
G. Robert Ross, and subse
quently by the Regents.
Currently, HPC Is consider
ing why upper classmen tend to
move out of dorms which now
consist mostly of freshmen and
sophomores, Brandt said.
HPC could have handled the
no-hours proposal for women if
it had been a subcommittee of
CSL when the issue was raised,
according to John Robinson,
CSL chairman.
Decisions passed by HPC will
go into effect subject only to
CSL review thus eliminating
some red tape and reducing the
delay between passage and
implementation.
The report passed by CSL left
selection of student HPC
members to ASUN with the
stipulation that ASUN see that
representation is given to
men's residence halls, women's
residence halls, Greek houses,
off-campus housing and co-ops.
Faculty members or ad
ministrators will be chosen by
the Faculty Senate with the
exception of the Director of
Housing who will remain a
permanent member.
Ross suggested the Inclusion
of co-ops in student represen
tation saying, "There is some
indication there will be more
co-ops."
In other action CSL okayed a
report by Helen Snyder,
associate dean of student af
fairs, which abolished her
committee on social affairs and
activities. The functions of the
defunct committee which
regulated student social ac
tivities will be examined and
reviewed by a CSL study
group.
The report suggested that
committees be formed to deal
with social activities problems
as problems arise. One excep
tion would be the Student Ac
tivities Office whose co
ordinator, Ron Eaglin, requests
a permanent advisory group.
If, for example, IFC and the
Housing Policy Committee
passed contradictory policies
on discrimination, what would
happen? CSL member Rich
Page asked.
Ross said CSL would be the
final authority except for the
Regents, and would decide
which proposal would be
policy.
Next week CSL will discuss
discrimination at the Universi
ty. Harry Canon, director of
Counseling Service, who raised
the issue, will testify along with
representatives of the Human
Rights Committee, IFC,
Panhellenic and the Afro
American Collegiate Society.
The information meeting may
expand to follow-up sessions on
he issue, Robinson said.
Cornhusker
hit again
About 30 finished pages for
the 1970 edition of the Cor
nhusker, University of
Nebraska yearbook, were taken
Monday according to Robert
Thacker, editor of the student
run publication.
"The copy was all ready to
go to the printers," said
Thacker. "It was In a
cardboard box In the back seat
of my car."
Thacker emphasized that he
would appreciate any informa
tion leading to recovery of the
missing copy, no questions
asked.
Tiie yearbook has been
plagued with difficulties all
year.
November 1, approximately
$4,800 in cash and checks was
taken from a locked safe In the
yearbook office. Campus police
investigated that incident, but
did not make any arrests.
Late last fall, one Cornhusker
staff member lost about $50
from a billfold which was in the
yearbook office. Also last fall,
the yearbook staff lost panels
of pictures in the mail, Thacker
said.
Despite the incident, the
Cornhusker will come out on
time, Thacker asserted.
Trial of Seven
creates furor
by DANA PARSONS
Nabraskan Staff Writar
The fate of the Chicago Seven is still with the jury, but
their five-month riot conspiracy trial has been the center of
controverry from its beginning.
The greatest significance of the case, however, may come long
after the jury has returned a verdict, according to Thomas
B. Allington, a University law professor.
"There are all sorts of appeals which could have more
impact on the law than the trial itself," Allington said.
The seven are charged with conspiring to cross state lines
to incite a riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
Their trial is the first test of a 1968 Federal anti-riot law.
The jury has been deliberating since Saturday but Judge
Julius J. Hoffman kept the trial in the news over the weekend
by handing down contempt sentences ranging from two months
to four years to the seven defendants and their two attorneys.
Following Judge Hoffman's sentencing last Sunday, seven
lawyers and law professors announced that they would help
appeal the sentences.
Martin Stavis, director of the Law Center for Constitutional
Rights in New York City, said Judge Hoffman has become
personally involved in the case and should not have handled
contempt proceedings.
The 27-year-old Allington said the trial has been "somewhat
unfortunate" both from the standpoint of the impression the
public gets of the judicial process and from the impression
they get of the people being tried. Allington explained that
part of the problem in such a trial is determining when it
is proper to apply criminal law.
Why has there been such criticism over the handling of
the trial?
"Anytime you get into a prosecution for that kind of action
and especially one arising out of something that gets a lot
of publicity, you're going to have a lot of disagreement over
what's going on," Allington said.
Allington stressed that it is hard to generalize about the
proceedings because It has been "an unusual trial" and "not
typical of the judicial process."
"The press has tended to print the sensational news at
the time and not necesssarily the most significant," he said.
