Soshnik: law funds in
by BILL SMITHERM AN
Nettraskan Staff Writer
If legislative appropriations remain at the recent levels,
a new law college will probably be funded in the 1973
legislative session, Lincoln campus president Joseph Soshnik
told law students in a rap session Monday.
Chancellor Durward B. Varner told the students he
realizes the need for a law building, but added that other
proposed structures currently have higher priorities.
"The University library system is not as good as the
University," Varner said. "The University cannot remain
good for long if the library is not improved."
He explained that about $4 million of a $6.5 million
library construction appropriation is currently being reviewed
by the Nebraska Supreme Court. If this money is not
reles"d to the University, then it will be necessary to
work for the appropriation early in the next legislative
session.
Adding to student comments. Law College Dean Henry
M. GrethVr, Jr., said the law school cannot now supply
enough attorneys for the needs of the state. It is impossible
to increase the size of the school because of physical and
sUiff limitations, he said.
Varner added that enthusiasm for a new law college
must be spread throughout the state. "The people from
ytur home communities can have more effect on the
legislature than President Soshnik and myself," he said.
The chancellor described present commencement
ceremonies in most american universities as "rather bizar
re." An answer to the commencement problem Is not clear
though, he said.
"The most important thing in any commencement is
when the graduating students are actually recognized," he
said. "This individual recognition is not accomplished by

Union held up,
girl taken!
Three masked bandits held
up the Nebraska Union main
desk Tuesday morning and took
a cashier hostage.
The bandits, dressed in vests,
chaps, cowboy hats and guns
and holsters released cashier
Linda Dreeszen outside the
north door of the Union. But
Sheriff Randy Radant and two
of his deputies captured the
desperados.
Of course it was all in fun.
The mock stick-up, staged by
members of the student rodeo
club, was in honor of Universi
ty Western Days April 10-17.
The bandits, led by Jim
Koch, scared almost no one as
they raced through the north
part of the Union. One held
passersby at bay, while the
other two bandits scooped up
the loot (cigars, candy and
cigarettes). Then with Mrs.
Dreeszen in tow, the bandits
left the Union and mounted
their horses.
"We probably won't take
back the stuff we stole," said
Koch after he was captured.
"But we really are just trying
present commencement ceremonies."
Varner said he favors the system of commencement
with an all-university convocation in the morning, actual
graduation taking place by college in the afternoon.
Several students said they did not see the purpose
of two ceremonies. One suggested that he feels the Regents
want a large ceremony so they can sit on the stage and
be seen.
His position involves no "dirty back-room politics,"
Varner said. It is political to the extent that the Chancellor
must work with politicians to get appropriations for the
University.

Instead the Senate passed a
substitute motion introduced by
Desmond M. S. Wheeler, pro
fessor of chemistry. The motion
favors restructuring the Senate
but rejects a representative
body. It calls for an ad hoc
committee to study restructur
ing with the suggestion that the
number of elected members on
committees be increased. The
committee has until October to

a plaster piece of sculpture
returned.
The sculpture was removed
early Thursday morning from a
small art display between the
temporary art classrooms in
the G and H buildings, ac
cording to David Hensler of the
art department.
Hensler said the sculpture
was a large piece and would
have required several people to
move.
It was an art project for a
student at the University and
required about ten weeks to
complete. "Not only is it need
ed for the student's grade but it
would probably have been
entered in several art ex
hibits," Hensler said.

mile hike on April 25 to help
alleviate world hunger, ac
cording to Dennis Demmel,
Lincoln coordinator. They will

person willing to hike asks an
individual or group to sponsor
him. The sponsor pledges an
amount of money which the
hiker collects after completing
the expedition.

organization having the goal of
feeding people overseas.
The money collected will be
distributed according to the
sponsor's preferences.
Profits from the hike will go
to: Agricultural Development

Friends Service Committee,
Catholic Relief Services, Men
nonite Central Committee,
Episcopal Bishop's Fund for
World Relief, other youth funds
for Latin Americans and the
Delta Ministry of Mississippi.
Demmel said emphasis i
placed on helping the poverty
stricken to help raise their own
standard of living.
