resolution calling for ASUN to

to the Board of Regents as
soon as possible.
--Sen. Joann Tonsey's
resolution calling on the
Regents to appear at a question

the Regents if ASUN approved
it.

-A resolution by Sen. Karen
Hurt that ASUN help the fast
effort in support of Rozman
and help arrange for students
to skip living unit meals in
support of Rozman 's legal
defense fund.
Speaker Pro-Tern Tim
Kincaid's resolution that the
Senate challenge the Regents
to be cognizant of the results
of their actions on the students
and faculty as well as on the
Nebraska Legislature and its
constituents."
A resolution to express
thanks to Varner and Soshnik
for their attendance and
discussion at Mondays's
meeting submitted by Bruce
Wimmer.
--Sen. Ron Kurtenbach's
biting resolution that "Whereas
the Regents have not respected
the findings of the faculty
investigating committee. ..be it
resolved that the ASUN Senate
censure the Regents of the
University of" Nebraska".
Because of the heavy
schedule, interviews for vacant
Senate posts have been
postponed until the Feb. 17
meeting.
Regents' decision draws fire
at Rozman press conference
"I feel like a poker player
whose opponent is in charge of
determining the rules of the
game, and who arbitrarily
changes those rules during the
course of the game."
Professor Stephen Rozman,
in a statement released
Tuesday, said the Regents
"readily accepted" the
conclusions of the Spelts
Committee that his actions
were "highly inappropriate"
for a teacher. When the Special
Faculty Factfinding
Committee found that his
actions were not inappropriate,
Rozman continued, the
Regents claimed that
conclusions were not the
perogative of the faculty
committee.
Rozman stated that this was
"particularly ironic" since the
faculty committee "did a much
more thorough job", and
unlike the Spelts committee,
"swore witnesses under oath,
and kept a verbatim record of
the testimony".
"Why is the conclusion of
inappropriate by one
committee considered proper",
Rozman asked, "while the
conclusion of the other
committee of not
inappropriate is considered out
of order?"
The assistant professor of
political science said the
Regents, by their action against
Hurst speaks today
for Black Week
As a part of Black History
Week, Charles Hurst, president
of Malcolm X College in
Chicago, will speak at 3:30
p.m. Wednesday, in the
Nebraska Union.
Hurst has set about the task
of building a college to meet
the needs of ghetto students.
He feels the greatest
opportunity for black youth is
through education.

him, had "politicized and
polarized this university more
than any group of radicals
could have ever hoped to do",
He said the administrations's
role in support of the Board's
decision furthered the
politicization and polarization.
Rozman said it was his
belief that the Regents'
decision "was greatly based"
on a clash of political values.
His statement referred to
comments alleged to the
Regents that, in Rozman's
view, support his belief.
He noted that the order to
leave the ROTC building
during the May takeover had
only mentioned students.
According to Rozman,
President Soshnik "never asked
the faculty to leave".
In the statement Rozman
contended that in the
negotiations over leaving the
building he was not trying to
force a political position on the
administration but was
attempting to find a solution
that would secure a voluntary
departure".
The professor admitted that
some of the testimony
interpreted his motives "in a
more negative light", But".,
Rozman queried, "why have
they felt free to pick and
choose from the testimony,
and to accept that which is
most negative".

The faculty committee's
report, Rozman pointed out,
stated that some of the
attempts by faculty to pressure
students to leave were
"counter-productive" and may
have increased the militancy of
students.
"If the Regents were
interested in preventing an
increase in tensions and
possible militant action",
Rozman argued, "perhaps my
approach should have been
welcomed rather than
condemned",
The statement outlines
Rozman's contention that the
ROTC sit-in would not have
interfered with normal
university activities. He argued
that classes could have been
held as scheduled and "nobody
has any evidence to the
contary".
His statement concluded
with an apparent assertion that
he would not accept the
decision and leave quietly.
"The game is not over",
Rozman exclaimed. "Perhaps it
has only just begun."
