    The productive week
Intensity of thought and the
potential for change at this
university have never been so
obvious as they have in the
past ten days. Students, faculty
and administrators have
participated exhaustively in a
process that may truly change
this university and, eventually,
the outlook of the university
community toward the world
around it. This education has
been perhaps the most
beneficial learning experience
in the college careers of a great
number of students, and even
in those of faculty and ad
ministrators. The most obvious outward
education is political. At what
was for practical purposes a
"virgin" campus, students
especially have learned what it

responsibilities."
If the Senate accepted
Braeman's substitute motion it
would mean "in times of stress,
we've decided to sit on our
dignity," said Edgar Pearls
tein, physics professor. The
action would also "reject the
students' request and cut off
the communication we've got,"
he said.
An amendment to the resolu
tion that would have stricken
the phrase "that the faculty
cease all present normal
academic activities" failed for
lack of a second.
Harvey Perlman, law pro
fessor, argued that the Senate
didn't have the power to
change the student resolu
tion. A failure to accept the report
would mean "that the faculty
doesn't share the indignation of
students about the Indochina
war," according to Stephen
Rozman, professor of political
science.
Rozman chided the senate for
"playing around with the
resolution's wording. It's like
Nero fiddling while Rome
burned."
Roger Henderson, professor
of law, introduced a resolution
repudiating action taken by last
week's faculty meeting that
sanctioned the strike and urged
faculty not to punish students
who honored the strike;
Henderson said the meeting
was hastily called and many
faculty were not represented.
That motion first passed but
was later rescinded by a mo
tion introduced by Christopher
Miehejda. chemistry professor,
to endorse the previous action.
Endorsement should be given
because students relied on the
faculty action promising no
sanctions for strike activities,
I'erb nan said.
Commending the Faculty
Senate for its action in ap
proving the report and sup
porting no sanctions, C. Peter
Magrath. dean of faculties, said
"Regular curriculum continues
at this peaceful but not un
concerned university." But the
regular curriculum has been
supplemented by different
kinds of education coming out
of last week, Magrath con
tinued. He urged faculty to consider
student concerns, adding, "I
hope many will join In this
endeavor, committed to a bet
ter University of Nebraska."
means to act in civil disobe
dience, to bargain to settle
disputes, to participate In
direct democratic activities.
They have learned of the in
consistencies of the press and
broadcast media, of political
pressure applied n the right
places, of ways io work
together toward a common
goal. And they have learned
that polarization of action and
opinion can occur instan
taneously among those who do
not communicate.
But the most pervasive and
important change is still to
come. In passing the resolution
for a new University, students
for the first time have initiated
a process of educational reform
that promises to bring this
university's activity face to
face with the present world
situation if it is successfully
instituted- The Faculty Senate
did postpone decision on ac
ceptance or rejection of this
appeal until next week, but it
seems so improbable that the
Senate could reject such a
resolution.
The entire university should
be proud that such constructive
proposals, dialogue and op
portunities have evolved from
this most hectic of weeks.
Surely the outcome can only
produce good for the Universi
ty, and perhaps a solution or
two to the major problems that
caused Nebraska's first Time
of Protest.
