The University of Nebraska
is in the process of revising its
student conduct code and its
policy on disruptions in an ef
fort to quell student
disturbances. But will any
revision kill or feed the
appetite for student activism?
Revision in student conduct
codes are likely to produce
possible student demonstra
tions and violence, according to
student leaders from New
Mexico to Washington.
The governing boards of
many western state
universities have either revised
or replaced old conduct codes
to add more stringent clauses
against political activism on
campus. "These repressive
codes," according to one stu
dent leader, "are likely to stir
the students up, rather than
quiet them down."
The Spelts"" Commission,
which investigated last spring's
disturbances on the NU ca
mpus, recommended adopting
student and faculty codes
similar to the stringent codes of
the western state universities.
The Commission proposed
the University adept a code
similar to that of the University
of Oregon which specifies acts
which are prohibited and max
imum penalties established for
violations. The group also
recommended that the
University formulate rules of
faculty conduct and provide
disciplinary procedures for
handling alleged violations
such as have been adopted by

Three University
Agricultural judging teams
have participated in recent
competitions throughout the
country.
The University soil judging
team won first place at the
regional soil judging contest in
Ames, Iowa, Oct. 17. This win
qualified the team to compete
in the National Soil Judging
contest to be held next spring
in Tucson, Arizona.
Members of the winning
team are Warren Anthony,
Lome Wilson, Daryl Sugden,
and Michael Petersen. Sugden
had the highest individual score
in the competition.
At the 72nd annual American
Royal Livestock Show in
Kansas City, Mo., last week

meats judging team placed 10th
in a field of 17.
The contest consisted of
grading the quality of beef,
lamb and pork. Team members
were required to give five sets
of written reasons for their
judging.
Team members included
Dean Batic, Ruber Belohlavy,
Jeannett Dillon, Charles Graff,

the University of Washington.
Two very similar codes of
student and faculty conduct
have been ' decreed by the
respective governing boards of
Oregon and Washington.
Detailing clauses under
which a Siudent may be
suspended or expelled or a
faculty member fired, they
deal with possession o f
firearms, physical abuse of
people or property connected
with the institution, possession

conduct code, policies
of drugs, and other offenses
which would generally be
handled in civil courts.
But both codes contain in
citement clauses, and these are
what students are objecting to.
The Washington code states
that members of the university
staff or students may be
suspended for "intentionally
inciting others to engage im
mediately in any of the conduct
prohibited" in the code when
the incitement leads directly to
violations.
The first clause of both these
codes list as a violation
obstruction or disruption of

ers. In individual compet
ition Belohlavy placed second
in pork judging and fourth
overall.
The University dairy judging
team has returned to the two
intercollegiate judging contests
and tours of some of the top
dairy farms in the U.S.
The team, coached by NU
Extension Dairyman P. H.
Cole, placed 10th in a field of 32
teams at the North American
Dairy show in Columbus, Ohio.
Earlier, they were sixth out of
19 teams in the university
division of a judging contest
held in conjunction with the
World Dairy Exposition 70 at
Madison, Wisconsin.
Timing of the two contests
allowed the students to view 12
dairy herds in Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio, some of which are
top ranked in the country.
Team members are Clyde
Ahlschwede, Steve Hohman,
Robert Glaesemann and Larry
Robinson. They traveled more
than 2,600 miles to compete In
the two contests and
participate In the dairy farm
tour.

lawful activities of the institu

rules, a professor could be fired
for telling his own students not'
to come to class during a strike
or moratorium.
The University of
Washington's new rules of stu
dent and faculty conduct allow
the university president to im
pose on any student, faculty
member, or staff member an
interim suspension "whenever
there is reasonable cause to
believe that such a person has
committed, and may
reasonably be expected
thereafter to commit, any of
the acts prohibited in the con
duct rules."
Such interim suspensions
would be declared without a
hearing, although a person so
suspended would be allowed to
request a hearing within seven
days after being notified of hi3
suspension.
The interim suspension at
Washington may be removed
by the president whenever he
has reason to believe that the
person will not constitute a

substantial threat to the order
ly operation of the Universi
ty. The new codes at the western
state universities, written with
minimal or no student involve
ment, came in response to
public anger generated by
campus disturbances last
spring on many campuses.
However, the NU Board of
Regents and administration
have solicited the support of
faculty and students in revising
or formulating codes of con
duct. Campus , President Joseph
Soshnik has asked the Council
on Student Life to study the
University's rules on student
conduct. The Spelts Com
mission stated that the present
rules are too general and
paternalistic to have any prac
tical effect on student con
duct. A Faculty Senate committee
has drafted, a tentative "Stat
ement of Faculty
Responsibilities and Conduct."

The tentative draft does not
contain an incitement
clause.
The statement says,
"Disciplinary action should be
initiated against faculty
members and administrative
staff who violate these rules."
But it does not provide
disciplinary procedures for
handling alleged violations as
recommended by the Spelts
Commission.
Presentation of the NU
faculty conduct code comes
after the case of Steven L.
Rozman was handed to the
Faculty Senate Committee on
Academic Privilege and
Tenure. Rozman, an assistant
professor of political science,
was accused by the Board of
Regents of improper conduct
during last spring's
disturbances.
Soshnik has also said he will
create an ad hoc committee to
review the University's policy
on campus disruptions.
The Spelts Commission
recommended that the
University's "Response to
Disruptive Action" should be
studied with a view to
eliminating the sequence of
steps which provide that
discussion and University
discipline should be exhausted
before police are called in for
any purpose.
