PACE comes in tuition statements
When tuition statements
arrive in the mail next week,
University students will be
asked to contribute to a
scholarship fund created by
students to help their
low-income colleagues.
The Program of Active
Commitment to Education
(PACE) was developed last
year by student senators in
response to the cut-back in
state and federal scholarship
funds available to low-income
students.
In a plan approved by all
colleges in last spring's student
election, students are asked to
contribute $3.50 a semester
and $ 1 .75 a summer session to
the PACE fund. The amount
can be added to the tuition
payment if the student chooses
to contribute.
The PACE plan "gives each
student the opportunity to
show his feeling and attitude
regarding low- income people,"
said Fred Anderson,
co-chairman of the PACE
committee. "By giving, it is an
act of commitment." Anderson
pointed out that most
low-income students at the
University are members of
minority groups.
The University Board of
Regents has approved the
PACE plan for a one-year trial
period, said Ann Pederson,
ASUN senator and co-chairman
of the PACE committee. In
that time, the committee has
to show the Regents that there
is a definite need for the

said.
Second session summer
students were asked to
contribute and $3,500 was
raised from 29 per cent of
those enrolled, Ms. Pederson
said. Funds raised over the
summer will be added to
money raised this fall to pay
for anything from books to full
tuition for 722 low-income
students registered this
semester, she said.
The Financial Adis Office
has made "substantial
commitments" in awards
letters to low-income students
on the basis of the summer
showing, Anderson said.
The office is assuming that
about one-third of the first
semester students will
contribute, he said. Anderson,
a law student, is a financial aids
adviser for the University.
"The University will keep
that commitment whether
through PACE or some other
source," he added. Until
tuition statements are
returned, the PACE committee
has no idea exactly how much
scholarship money will be

McGovern
While Presidential hopeful
Sen. George McGovern strolled
around the state fairgrounds
shaking hands and eating hot
dogs Sunday afternoon his
national press secretary
predicted it wouldn't be the
South Dakotan's last trip to
Nebraska before the 1972
primary here.
"Less than half" the people
in the country knew McGovern
when he announced for the
Presidency, Jeff Gralnick
explained. "His early entry
into the race is the most
important thing he's done."
He said McGovern plans to
visit all the states with key
primaries and conventions at
least once a month from now
until the spring elections.
The strategy is simply "to
talk to people," McGovern
said. "Image-making and
manipulation are overplayed.

Pederson said.
The committee has great
flexibility on how the funds
are used, Anderson said,
although most PACE grants
won't exceed the cost of
tuition.

As astronomical

telescope as well as living

being built for the University
at Mead.
"This is not a toy
telescope," said Norman
Simon, assistant professor in
UNL's physics department.
"It's a full-fledged research
telescope."
Only about 20 universities
in the whole country have
larger telescopes, Simon added.

So the Democrat, best-known
for his Vietnam war
opposition, spent his time
introducing himself to
fair-goers saying, "How do
you aoi I'm Sen. George
McGovern from South
Dakota," and waiting for a
response.
"This is the first time I get
to vote, and I'll vote for you,"
he heard from one young
woman.
Later, an elderly man said,
"I believe I shook a good man's
hand today."
But further away from the
senator came comments like,
"I'd like to see the day I'd vote
for him. He's too liberal."

recognized that the "black-ball"
system allows discrimination
against minority group
members and recommended
that the system be eliminated.
It states that a vote of 75 per
cent of the members of the
fraternity on accepting new
members is "reasonable at the
present time."
The proposal for an
executive fraternity council
was written in August by a
committee of alumni and
undergraduates chaired by
Interfraternity Council
president Dennis Confer,
Moore said.
A similar proposal was
presented by Prokop, an alumni
of Kappa Sigma fraternity to
the Regents in July. Prokop's
proposal called for creation of
an executive council including
the Alumnae Panhellenic
Advisory Board and for the
removal of CSL control over
the Greek system.
A revised proposal was
written in August because
Prokop's proposal was "more
harshly worded than we would
have wanted," Moore said

Three people, one graduate
and two undergraduate
students, have been hired to

have been received, and the
response has been fairly good,
Pederson said. A faculty fund

The observatory will be

Lincoln and Omaha campuses,

reasonable distance of both
cities, Simon pointed out.

McGovern plans to be in
South Vietnam on that
country's October 3 election
day.
Registering newly-enfranchised
18 to 21 -year-old voters
is "so important," McGovern
emphasized, saying he believes
his continuing stand against the
war and the draft, as well as his
pledge to create jobs , could be
attractive to a large percentage
of voters in that age group.
He said President Richard
Nixon's wage-price freeze is
"unjust" to working men, since
their wages are frozen while
dividends and profits aren't.
He said the plan would not
work, especially for
agricultural products. "The
probiem is we've frozen prices
at a time when some prices are
already too low."

of former and new CSL
members was held, and
everyone agreed "it is not a
wise change," Robinson said.
The chief feeling of the
group was that it is a bad
precedent to start removing
some specific groups from CSL
jurisdiction, he explained. "It
might prove divisive at a time
when the old rivalry between
Greeks and independents is
becoming irrelevant. The move

antagonisms," he said.
Franklin E. Eldridge,
assistant dean of agriculture,
takes over this fall for
Robinson as chairman of CSL.
Eldridge said he accepts
Robinson's analysis that
fraternity life is an important
part of outside classroom life
and that it would "weaken the
existence" of CSL if its
authority over the greek
system were removed.
