Faculty orders investigation
by MARSHA BANGERT
Staff Writer
A faculty ad hoc committee
will investigate "campus and
non-campus police surveillance
of campus activities andor
groups," according to action
passed at a special Faculty
Senate meeting Tuesday.
By an 84-73 vote, the
Senate approved a resolution
calling for the ad hoc
committee, working under the
Human Rights Committee, to
"review both matters of fact
and of University policy
concerning the summoning or
use of such personnel."
At the special meeting,
convened to consider items left
over from the March 9 agenda,
David J. Hibler, assistant
professor of English, called the
resolution "not alarmistic or
extraordinary."
"THERE'S SIMPLY a need
to find out what's happening
and what are the rules
governing what's happening," he
said at the Love Library
meetings.
Newspapers reported that at
least one state patrolman
photographed students at the
Febr. 1 5 Regents' meeting and
that Gail Gade, director of
campus security, has admitted
students had been
photographed at meetings,
Hibler noted.
R. Burt Maxcy, professor of
food science and technology,
spoke out for open meetings.
He said that along with
privileges to speak and present
facts, those attending a
meeting should be willing to be
photographed.
Speaking for the resolution
Stephen L. Rozman, assistant
professor of political science,
complained that many students
are intimidated by the police
photographers.
"They (the students)
are acting firmly within their
constitutional guarantees and
yet they are intimidated," : he
said. "This activity deprives
them of their willingness if not
their ability to exercise their
constitutional rights."
IN OTHER ACTION
Tuesday, the Senate suspended
its rules to allow Desmond
Wheeler, professor of
chemistry, to introduce a
Liaison Committee resolution
not on the agenda.
The resolution "thanks
President Soshnik for his
services to the University since
1957, especially those during
the years of his Presidency."
The resolution's passage was

followed by a standing ovation
for President Soshnik.
The Senate also voted down
a resolution calling for a study
of the feasibility of the Faculty
Senate acting as a bargaining
agent to secure "contractual
protection of academic
freedom and due process in
matters of nonreappointment
and dismissal."
This resolution, which failed
on a voice vote, was the last of
ten resolutions on the
carried-over agenda relating to
the Regents' actions in the
Rozman case,.
AT THE END of the
meeting the Senate declined to
suspend its rules once more to
consider two resolutions from
Paul A. Olson, foundation
professor of English.
The resolutions, signed by
ten University teachers, state:
-"That the Faculty Senate
considers it a breech of the
good faith of this house that
amendments were introduced
to LB 445 which suspend or
weaken due process
proceedings presently sustained
by the Academic Privilege and
Tenure Committee.
--"That any regulations
relating to misconduct on the
part of a faculty member
should not distinguish between
tenured and non-tenured
professors."
LB 445 provides for the
dismissal of any faculty
member and the expulsion of
any student engaging in
"disruptive" activities.
After the meeting, Olson .
said that LB 445, scheduled to
come before the Unicameral
within a couple of days, is "an
invitation on the part of the
administration to the
Legislature to invade due
process proceedings which
presently prevail."
No one spoke against
Olson's attempt, but the move
to suspend the rules was
defeated by a show of hands.
