About 100 students gathered
in the Selleck Quadrangle
Cafeteria around 8 ' p.m.
Wednesday evening.
Seated at one of the tables
was Frank B. Morrison, former
governor of Nebraska and now
the Democratic candidate for
the U.S. Senate.
A public address system,
ready for Morrison's impending
speech was temporarily hooked
into a radio and together the
candidate and the students
listened as President Richard
M. Nixon talked about the
Vietnam War.
"I propose a stand-still cease
fire in Indochina . . ." the
President said.
Quietly, Morrison said: "I

ASUN releases budget, forms
committee to study Davis case
ASUN Senate Wednesday ap
proved a resolution forming an
ad hoc committee to investigate
the case of Michael Davis and
released its tentative 1970-71
budget
The resolution requests the
appointment of a seven to nine
member committee to petition
the Board of Regents to make
known all facts pertaining to
the Davis case.
Upon conclusion of their in
vestigation, the committee is to
report its "opinions and-or
Judgements" to the student
body, according to the resolu
tion. The statement charges that
"the Regents, select groups of
administrators and faculty
have access to the facts
pertaining to the case" and as
"students also have a vital in

CSL appointments
ASUN senate approved ap
pointments for student posi
tions on the Council on Student
Life (CSL) Wednesday.
Dennis Confer, Krlsty Chap
pelle, Ken Wald, Jim Pedersen,
and Lilchandra Sookram were
chosen from a group of over 80
applicants.
Confer and Sookram will hold
their seats on the council for a
two year period. The other ap
pointees were appointed for one
year terms.
Lynn Webster and Vern
Slaughter are carry-over
members of the council who
were appointed for two-year
terms last fall. As ASUN
president, Steve Tiwald, also
holds a scat on the council.
The senate also approved the
appointments of students to a
wonder why he didn't do that a
year ago. That's something I
could never understand."
After Nixon finished and the
radio was disconnected, the
former governor cut loose with
barrages of rhetoric not only
on the Vietnam issue, but on
his Republican opponent U.S.
Sen. Roman L. Hruska.
"I agree with the President,"
Morrison said. "But we should
have had a cease fire long ago.
Step by step Nixon is moving
over toward the position his
war critics have held for so
long."
The veteran Democrat, nat
tily attired in a green suit and
light brown wing-tips, denied
that he is an isolationist.

our own problems before we go

Senator Nancy Ryan termed
the action of the Faculty
Liaison Committee as a "threat
to internal communication"
within the University.
"The Regents' secrecy,"
commented Senator Roy
Baldwin, "which they termed,
as for Davis's own good, did
more damage to the man than
airing the reasons for his
denial."
The resolution was submitted
by senator Bill Arfnian.
The proposed budget is
almost $30,000 about $3,000

said.
But he saved his harshest
words for Hruska, the two
term Senate minority whip who
Morrison called "the number
one waterboy for special in
terests in the U.S. Senate."
"It's an insult to this great
University," Morrison said,
"that Roman Hruska won't
come to this campus to discuss
the issues with you. What does
he have to say on the problems
of this land?"
"You ought to be out getting
a hold of Hruska and asking
him some questions," Morrison
said in his characteristic
thundering voice. "But I'll bet

In addition, the proposed
budget would be partly
financed by a 15 cents per

Summer students have never
before contributed to the ASUN
budget.

Indians organize
Indian students from the University and Nebraska
Wesleyan are forming an Indian student organization, accord
ing to the new University of Nebraska Indian student
counselor.
Alice Neundorf, the only Indian student to receive a
degree from NU (through Tri-University in July, 1970),
said Wednesday that 15 University and five Nebraska
Wesleyan Indian students are planning to join the organiza
tion. "I would like to see more Indians enrolled at this
University and more Indians receive an education to become
leaders in their own tribe," Ms. Neundorf said. "The
Indian movement for self determination needs plenty of
educated Indian leaders to work side by side with their
elders to improve conditions on reservations and in the
cities."
The Indians will meet within two weeks at the new
Indian Culture Center, 200 N. 18th St. The Indian organiza
tion will be closely affiliated with the Afro-American
Collegiate Society and the newly-formed Mexican-American
Student Association, according to Ms. Ueundorf. She said
the groups share problems even though they are culturally
different.

Still refusing to pay the fee,
Bandad and his 60 followers
marched to the Bursar's Office.
There, according to Bandad,
Assistant Bursar Robert Lovltt
said that nothing could be done
about it.
Convinced they were right,
the students continued their
march to Dean of Student
Development Russell Brown's
office.
After Brown and Bandad
discussed the matter for about
half an hour, Brown agreed
that the students had a
legitimate complaint. He said
none of them would have to pay
the $10 late fee.
Brown also said students who
had paid the fee earlier during
the day would receive a $10
refund in the mall.
