CSL asks investigation of
married students' housing
Planning Committee charts change
Continued from page 1
CSL Tuesday also gave the
Committee on Student
Organizations the official role
of advising the Office of Stu
dent Activities. Peter Wlrtz,
coordinator of Student,
Activities, requested the Coun
cil form an advisory group so
his office would be accountable
to students.
'We do receive student fee
money and we feel we have to
be accountable to the
students," Wirtz remarked.
He said the role of the ad
visory group would be to help
Student Activities in reviewing
procedures and practices, hir
ing new staff, establishing new
programs, modifying existing
programs and eliminating un
necessary or ineffective pro
grams. Besides being the bank for all
student organizations, Student
Activities this year is also in
volved with intramurals and
coordinating student volunteer
programs. Student Activities is
also trying to establish a credit
union and is aiding ASUN In
the establishment of a day care
center.
CSL also asked the Bousing
Policy Committee to in
vestigate the problem ofmar
ried student housing and
recommend possible solu
tions. The action came after Joseph
J. Plant, a graduate assistant
in the D3partment of Speech
Communication, presented a
letter in which he said there is
a "gross lack" of adequate
University housing for married
students. Plant said the
University has only 150 units
for married students, "most of
which are a disgrace."
He noted there are several
hundred married students liv
ing in low-income housing
subsidized by the government
through the Lincoln Housing
Authority. "Don't you agree
that these should be left
available, as they were
originally intended, for those
people who are now and will be
destitute, or who lack the so
calkd, 'economic op
portunity?' " he asked.
Ideas brought up by last
May's campus unrest are hav
ing an effect, but changes come
slowly to the University com
munity, according to J. M.
Daly, biochemistry and nutri
tion professor.
"The ideas of students and
faculty brought up during the
student strike are not lost,"
explained Daly, chairman of
the Faculty Senate Academic
Planning Committee. "We are
trying to make the University
more responsive to society and
to the needs of students."
A 41 page report of suggestions
and comments received by the
committee since May, 1970 has
been sent to all department
chairmen, he said.
"The Committee has many
aspects to consider when
changes are being im
plemented," he stressed. "We

want to work out a program
which meets the approval of
the faculty, the administration,
the students, and, of course, the
legislature."
The Academic Planning
Committee has split into two
sub-committees. These sub
committees "will take a hard
look at the function of the
University; what its role is;
what we want to teach; and
how we want to teach it," he
said.
The subcommittees will
submit a written report of their
findings to the Faculty Senate
January 31, 1971.
Some departments have Im
plemented changeson their
own, he said. The English and
Geography departments have
compiled syllabuses of all their
courses and have distributed
them to their students.
"It Is unfortunate that
nearly all of the framework
that the University operates in
was laid at the turn of the cen
tury," Daly said, "because that
framework does not fit today's
needs. It is time to look at a
new type of organization for the
University."
The unrest in May hurt the
University externally, but It
made the faculty think about
what they were teaching and
how they were teaching it, Daly
added.
"The new University is not
lost, but it will take time to
change such a complex struc
ture," Daly concluded.
