"Creighton University has a
problem with its public image.
Twenty-five years ago this was
a place where students were
mollified and instilled by the
Jesuit fathers and prepared for
a lifetime of service to the
Catholic faith. That image does
not reflect the present
situation."
As Bob Hobbins, president of
the Student Board of Gover

outside preparing for a protest
demonstration which extended
well into early Saturday

cleaning up one dormitory that
had been accidentally flooded
during demonstrations that
Friday afternoon.

carrying signs and chanting.
Then they turned on all water
faucets, lights and appliances
in the dormitories.
"Our policy is active non
cooperation," Hobbins said.
"We wanted to run up large
electricity and water bills. In
addition, we tried to isolate the
president's office by keeping
the telephone lines tied up."
One portion of the student's
protest backfired, however.
The sewer system couldn't
handle all the running water,
and drains backed up. The first
three floors of one dormitory
were flooded and water
drained into an adjacent
ground level bookstore and
game room.
"We planned no malicious
destruction," Hobbins em
phasized. "The flooding was an
accident. But we do plan to
escalate our protest efforts.
The immediate issue is coed

open during evening hours and

A formal proposal for coed

proposal was passed by the

"The physical and mental

Schneider concurred, saying
that a number of factors were
