"determinants" in his decision
to resign. However, because of
the controversies of the last
year, Soshnik's sudden
departure is bound to raise
speculation.
In May 1970, Soshnik was
faced with a potentially
dangerous confrontation with
students protesting the U.S.
invasion into Cambodia. He
played a key role in those May
events that included a
three-day student strike and
the occupation of the ROTC
Building.
Although he sympathized
with the protests of the
students, Soshnik, ignored
some of their urgings by
refusing to commit the
University to a position on the
war. His performance during
the all-night peaceful
occupation drew both praise
and criticism.
The Spelts Commission,
which investigated the anit-war
protest on the Lincoln campus
last May, singled out the
President for his actions during
the protests. The Commission
noted that Soshnik's
conciliatory remark during the
occupation that "there have
been no rules or laws broken
tonight..." should not have
been made.
However, the Commission
praised Soshnik and other
administrators for spending
several hours in discussion with
the students occupying the
building in an attempt to
peacefully end the disruption.
Following the May events a
controversy developed over
what actually happened and
how the University should deal

with future possible protests.
However, in the fall
the Lincoln campus faced a new
controversy after the Board of
Regents refused to hire Michael
Davis, a University of
Michigan gnduate student,
because of his involvement in
non-violent protests.
In November, apparent
voter animosity toward the
University because of the May
protests, the University's
record budget request and the
controversy over the campus'
course in homphile studies
helped defeat two incumbent
Regents. In addition Nebraska
voters elected a new governor,
J. J. Exon, who promisedl to
hold the line on state spending.
In February the pace of
change and uncertainty on
campus seemed to accelerate.
The University faced the
problem of how to live within
the limits of the governor's
budget recommendations that
called for a cut in state aid.
Then the Regents' decision not
to rehire Stephen Rozman,
assistant professor of political
science, because of his
involvement in last May's
occupation of the ROTC
Building touched off a series of
student protests.
. Soshnik said he agreed with
the Regents decision not to
rehire the controversial
Rozman and in his capacity as
President caught much of the
criticism directed at the
procedures the University
followed in the case.
The Regents accepted
Soshnik's resignation "with
deep regret" and Regent
President Robert Raun of
Minden called the resignation
"a great loss."
The Regents directed
Chancellor D. B. Varner to
immediately launch a search
for a successor to Soshnik.
Varner said : . "I am
genuinely depressed at the
prospect of having Joe Soshnik
leave the University of
Nebraska-particularly at this
difficult time. We are not likely
to find a successor who
possesses his unique
combination of qualities-both
human and professional.
Noting that Soshnik
possesses both human
compassion and sensitivity, the
Chancellor said it may well be
that these two qualities "have
helped persuade him-like so
many other university
administrators in America-to
abandon the field of
educational administration and
move into a new endeavor at
the height of his career."
Soshnik's decision to enter
the investment field comes
after a 25-year career as a
teacher and administrator for
NU and earlier, for Creighton
University.
But perhaps the best
compliment was paid to
Soshnik by a student. ASUN
President Steve Tiwlad simply
said, "The students are losing a
friend."

And you had better believe it. Because throughout
your college career, you'll spend over 5,000 hours
with your nose in a book aoing just your required
reading. That's if you are a "normal" student with
a reading rate of 250 to 400 words per minute. And
you know, that's a shame, because if you had
enrolled in the revolutionary Evelyn Wood Reading
Dynamics course you could save at least 3,700 of
those hours.
For ten years now Reading Dynamics has guaran
teed to at least triple your reading speed or refund
your entire tuition. Over 500,000 students have
taken up our offer and are now reading 3 to 10 times
faster. Results? Hundreds, eventhousands, of hours
of irreplaceable free time for you to invest as you
choose: campus social activities, "want to courses,,
making love not war, raising your grade point
average, or a part-time job. Just think, if you could
cut 3,700 hours off your required reading time and
invested only 2,500 of those hours in a job that paid
$1.75 an hour, you could earn $$4,375.
So wise up. Put the remarkable Evelyn Wood
Reading Dynamics course at the top of your schedule
for the new term. The course takes just a few weeks
and is designed to dovetail perfectly with all scho
lastic classes. And you will find that the time you
put into Reading Dynamics comes back many-fold
before the basic course is finished.
Reading Dynamics is an incredible educational
breakthrough. It's the definitive rapid reading meth
od in the world today. Our graduates consistently
surpass the 450 to 600 word per minute rates aspired
to by conventional reading courses. Most RedinS
Dynamics graduates read between 1,000 and 2,000
words per minute. Many go higher, and all under
stand and appreciate what they read at these speeds.
