Union debaters seek
appropriate response
All 19 speakers agreed:
students should take some
appropriate action in response
to the Regents' decision not to
rehire Rozman. His innocence
was assumed; only the Regents'
verdict was questioned.
But here the agreement
stopped. Each speaker had
different ideas about what the
action should be.
One called for a student
strike, and to "shut down this
place until Rozman is rehired."
Another called for peaceful
confrontation of the faculty by
students, to bring about a
censure of the Regent's
decision by the faculty senate.
About 350 people packed
into the Union lounge north of
the clocks and listened politely
and quietly to the
exhortations. During the
hour-long open-mike session,
they reacted with scattered
applause to some, and did not
respond at all when one
admittedly angry speaker asked
how many were ready to
confront the Chancellor and
the president and "say it to
their fact." , J ,
As one speaker asked the
crowd not to allow themselves
"to be radicalized and used as a
mob," a substantial group
Vs Hi (TO SUPH llJIMISiMJllMil
tramped out the south door of
the lounge and over to the
administration building
chanting "rehire Rozman."
Seven speakers asked the
crowd to take immediate
action: to strike or confront
the University administrators.
Eight asked to replace
immediate action with
constructive and peaceful work
to influence those connected
with the case,
Suggestions were made to
encourage the faculty senate to
censure the Regents' decision,
to work to raise funds for the
legal battle, to write to the
media stating their position, to
refuse to pay tuition, or to
show support for the fast of
Bill Arfmann, Mike Willey,
instructor in English, and Mike
Wenig.
The speakers stressed
sincere, legal and peaceful
action.
One of the organizers of the
open-mike session, Mike
Barret, told the audience, "A
lot of us are angry enough to
get arrested. Our generation is
supposed to be idealistic, I
understand. But by legal,
peaceful and sincere action
we're going to say no."

Shriveling plastic
One of the more unusual forms of protest. . .student
Michael Richardson, left, puts the fire to, not his draft
card, but his University student identification card. The
lighter is being held by student Mick Barrett, while the
students sit on the steps of the Administration Building.
Without his identification Richardson will not be able to
get into NU basketball games with a student ticket; he
won't be able to cash checks t the Nebraska Union
cashier window; and he won't be able to take out books
from Love Library. Richardson reported that other
students are considering burning their ID cards Tuesday
in protest of the dismissal of Stephen L. Rozman from
the faculty.
