Varner Tuesday night to review the .Lincoln campus situation and the student demonstrations. . All the Regents, e x c e p t for J. G. Elliot and Richard Herman, attended the meeting at the Chancellor's house, according to George S. Round, University director of Information. Round said tne meeting was called at the request of Varner. Regent B. N. Greenberg of York said Wednesday of the current University unrest: "I feel the majori ty of the University students have demonstrated tremendous responsibility." GREENBERG termed student carcassing and writing letters to Congressmen as constructive ac tion. "If the students are concerned and want to change things then they should work through the democratic process," he added. The York doctor said he had no knowledge that any Regent had pressured University ad ministrators to order student demonstrators to leave the Military and Naval Science Building Tuesday morning. . , , Robert Raun, president of the Board of Regents, said Wednesday he was pleased that University classes were in operation. He said he and other Regents have been con cerned about inquiries from parents and t h e r s outstate who thought classes on the Lincoln cam puses were being closed far three days pursuant to a student vote. IT is my understanding" the Minden Regent said, "that the vote taken by students Tuesday afternoon and the one taken earlier by members of the faculty include full recognition of the rights of students who do not desire to strike and who prefer to continue their usual study routine. "Certainly the University and its faculty have an obligation not to deprive students of the op portunity to receive all of the Instructional services for which they and their families and the people of Nebraska have paid." i Raun said that he is grateful to administrative and faculty people and to the responsible student leaders who worked hard throughout Monday night and Tuesday to prevent violence and property loss. Regent J. G. Elliott of Scottsbluff asid Wednesday, "I'm a little disappointed that the students would strike. I dont see any reasons for them striking to oppose actions of the federal government." Elliott said the citizens of western Nebraska are glad there has been no violence on the Lincoln campus, but are opposed to the student strike. Bring It on home, and save some extra tread doing It. Either of two ways. " You can get a confirmed reservation, and still use a Frontier Youth Card to get a 20 discount. Or, you can use the card to fly stand fey, and save a full 40. In some markets. The card Itself costs three dollars, and It's good until you'r9 twenty-two. You can use it on other airlines. Hit us up for 20 to 40 every time you fly. Get a card at any Frontier Airline counter. It s good for a lot of trips. a better way to fly THE DAILY NEBRASKAN THURSDAY, MAY 7. 1970
