Students protest L.re!gnTpn ti ritinn nilse t w fif i i i v by Sara Schweider Legal action against Creighton University's Board of Directors is anticipated in the wake of last Wednesday's class boycott to protest tuition hikes, according to Creighton Student Board of Directors President Joe Warin. "We're considering filing suit against the Board of Directors," Warin said Friday. "The suit will try to force them to imporve.the quality of education in relation to the tuition hikes. "We're also seeking two students on the Creighton University Boards of Governors," he said. 'The student Board of Governors wasn't consulted about the tuition hikes." Warin said there were two distinct issues: one concerning the relationship between the tuition hike and the quality of education and the other concerning the "student's right to be consulted on Creighton University policies." The Rev. Michael Sheridan, dean of students, said he doesn't have "any comment on the case until the students actually do something." Sheridan said the tuition hike will remain in effect, and that the quality of education engendered by the tuition hike is "hard to determine. "It depends on what the students want," Sheridan said Tuesday. "I hope we can find a common definition of quality decided upon by the students and the administration." He said there is no official committee to look into the quality of education question, but that administrators from each college were having discussion sessions with students to find out the kind of things they think are important concerning the quality of education. The Creighton University Board of Directors last week announced nine per cent tuition increases, up $150 in the undergraduate colleges, and the Schools of Law and Pharmacy, and $250 in the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry. Creighton University President the Rev. Joseph J. Labaj, in a letter to the student body, said the operating budget has relied too heavily on gift income from the Centennial Thrust Campaign amounting to $61 5,000 this year. The letter read, "In these circumstances, increased dependence on gift income for operating expenses was judged to be imprudent and fiscally unsound." He also listed inflation as a reason for the rise, and assured students "that every effort will be made to help students presently in school to meet their financial needs to remain in school." This is the 14th consecutive year tuition has been increased at Creighton, a total increase of over 400 percent. The boycott last Wednesday protesting the hikes affected "about 50 per cent of the students," according to the student newspaper the Creightonian. Warin estimated the boycott attendance at "about 75 percent." The School of Medicine, with about 320 students," closed down," Warin said. Warin and several student leaders are determining the feasibility of suing the Creighton University Board of Governors' Corporation and asking for a mandatory injunction, a restraining order or both, Warin said. "It will be the Student University Corporation filing suit against the University Corporation," Warin said. He noted that students couldn't use University lawyers, so they were looking for a firm to handle the case. The tuition hikes will primarily affect middle-income students. The government will pay the difference for lower income students on scholarships. MEETTHS OHDiaTHAT IS 113 YEARS YOUNG. Paulists are often called the "modern" order but it isn't just because we are only a little over a century old. It's because of what we stand for. The Paulists were founded by Isaac Hecker, one of the earliest ecumenical spokesmen. Father Hecker, who was a convert to Catholicism and a century ahead of his time, conceived and di rected the first missionary soci ety of priests established in, and for. North America. Father Hecker's vision was a community that would "meet the needs of the Church in each age as they arise." For this reason he wanted the Paulists to be flex ible, not wedded to specific works. A special project might be suitable for a particular time and a given need, but changing times would, require different techniques and approaches that might differ from age to age. That's why the Paulists are so flexible. Whether a man is in a parish. University Apostolate or mission . . .whether he is involved in a narcotic panel or the Paulist press, radio, films or television, he has the freedom to use his own talents in his own way to achieve his objectives. Paulists are not custodians of the past, but explorers of the future. Now you know why we are called "modern." For more information about the Paulist priesthood write to: Rev. Donald C. Campbell, C.S.P., Vocation Director, ffj Room No. 100.

At the risk of giving away "trade secrets", here's how it's done. Many stores that sell stereo equipment feature systems of a well-known standard brand of re ceiver, record changer, and cartridge. The speakers bear a name that is less familiar. What you usually pay for the package is equivalent to the list price of the receiver and the changer. You get the speakers essentially "free". Does that mean such a package is a good value? .In most cases, it's not. The reason you pay so little for the speakers is that usually the store pays so little for the speakers. Not a bad idea, if it were possible to get good speakers for next to nothing - but frankly, in our experience, it's not possible. And, if you don't get good speakers, it doesn't much matter how good the other components are. On the other hand, our AdventMarantzDual system is unquestionably a good value: The large Advent Utility model speakers have greater frequency response and freedom of distortion than do many floor-standing speakers, some costing twice as much. Yet, they are small enough to b5 used as bookshelf speakers, or as full-fledged furniture pieces. The Marantz 2215 AMFM stereo receiver delivers 15 watts per channel RMS across the entire audio range at less than .5 distortion (RMS is the most demanding and least flashy of the various power rating methods). The Dual CS16 Turntable comes complete with base, dust cover and factory-installed Shure M75D cartridge, a package model of Dual's highly regarded 1215 auto matic turntable. The total of the regular selling prices of these compo nents is $579.45. At that price the system is a good value, because it offers sound performance and relia bility worth every penny, given what else you could spend that amount of money on. But we want our good value system to be a good buy too, so if you buy the complete system from us, we'll charge you $559.95. That's a saving of $19.50, not a huge saving, but a real one. f i 414 So. 11th 432-6877 PAGE 14 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN WEDNESDAY. MARCH 8, 1972
