CSL
by Carol Strasser
Last June, the chairmanship
of the Council on Student Life
(CSL), one of the most active
organizations on campus, fell
into the hands of Franklin E.
Eldrige, 53-year-old associate
dean of the College of
Agriculture.
Eldridge holds the number
one position in an organization
charged with ''general
policy-making power over
student social and
out-of-classroom activities,
subject to approval by the
Board of Regents."
ELDRIDGE DESCRIBED
CSL as an "organization with
real interest in student
welfare." He added that he was
"favorably impressed with the
committee members," some of
whom he met for the first time
Thursday at CSL's fijst fall
meeting. There are eight
students and seven faculty and

By the time Phil got through paying for
tuition, late registration, student fees, books,
and an outrageous deposit on his apartment,
he didn't have a whole lot left for a stereo.

administrators on the Council.
Calling himself "a moderate
with learnings toward the left,"
Eldridge said "I'm a very
strong proponent of change.
We don't make progress
without change."
On the other hand, "I also
see great value in tradition,"" he
continued. "I see value in
stability, in organization."
FOR THE IMMEDIATE
efforts of CSL, Eldridge said
"There will be no broad
sweeping changes that I see." '
However he added, "I would
feel disappointed if at the end
of one year, everything was the
same as when we started."
Eldridge outlined some of
the policy questions the
Council will be discussing at
future meetings. These include
a report on a Code of Student
Discipline, Disciplinary
Procedures, coed visitation and
a proposal to change the
eligibility requirement to

participate in campus
organizations from "a student
registered for 1 2 hours' to
simply ""a student enrolled."
A survey by an ad hoc'CSL
committee on the means of
learning student opinion is "a
study we need action on
immediately," Eldrige said.
Unless CSL is able to learn
what students think "how does
CSL truly reflect what students
would like to have," he said.
A DRUG COMMITTEE
report waiting for CSL action
"needs Teal attention," he
continued. A survey by a CSL ad
hoc committee last spring
indicated that the use of drugs
by the University community
is at "a high enough level that
we need to be concerned-with
rehabilitation, education and
control," Eldridge said.
The authority of
two-year-old CSL has been
questioned in the past by
groups who seek to by-pass the

Council with a direct appeal to
the Regents. "If the Council is
effective, it won't be
by-passed, Eldridge said. "If we
truly get a job done, no one
will try to by-pass us."
H e pointed to CSL s
investigation of alleged racial
discrimination in Greek houses
to show that "CSL is moving."
THE NEW CHAIRMAN is
one with confidence in
negotiations and in the
"honesty and tolerance" of
the group members.
"I have tremendous
confidence in students, in their
intelligence and collective
judgement, Eldridge said. "In
working with both faculty and
student groups it has been my
experience that when groups
are given the complete facts
about issues, a high degree of
confidence can be placed in
their deliberations and
judgments."
On dissent, the chairman
said it "is a legitimate, in fact,
a necessary part of a
university." In emotional
situations, "dissent sometimes
gets out of hand." The
destruction of properly and
the physical obstruction of
activities of any other groups,
are indefensible, he continued.

resident instruction, the
teaching end of the College of
Agriculture. He became
director in 1960 and associate
dean of the College in 1 968.
Born in Idaho, Eldridge
received his PhD in animal
breeding and genetics from
Cornell in 1948.
Eldridge was appointed
chairman of CSL by former
UNL president Joseph Soshnik
to replace John W. Robinson,
associate dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences. Every two
years, the Chancellor will
appoint a dean or associate
dean as chairman of CSL.
CSL REPLACES the Senate
Committee on Student Affairs
which was "top heavy" with
administration representatives,
Eldridge said. The Council is
the result of the Student in the
Academic Community Report
of 3 968 which called for more
student participation in
policy-making in student
activities.
