Student suits
challenge fee
collection, use
At least three student-initiated suits
against UNI. are presently awaiting further
action in various courts. Two seek
injunctions to stop collection of mandatory
student fees.
Students Ralph Larson, Bruce Wimmer,
Frederick Otto and Wayne Stuenkel,
represented by Lincoln attorney Lawrence
E. Murphy, have taken their case to the
Nebraska Supreme Court seeking a
permanent injunction against collection of
fees after a Lancaster County District Court
denied it.
In a brief filed Aug. 22, they challenged
the University's right to collect that part of
student fees which support non-educational
activities the Daily Nebraskan, ASUN and
speakers' series.
Specifically, they challenge classifying the
Daily Nebraskan as an educational activity
because it does not present as many
divergent views as possible to students.
Rather than being the traditional teaching
device published by the journalism school,
the paper "is a useful political tool in a
politically charged arena" where most
students are of voting age, the brief says.
No date for further court action is set,
pending filing of the University's brief Sept.
22.
A hearing has been set for December in
the U.S. District Court for a similar suit
brought by UNL junior Richard Veed.
This action came after District Judge
Warren K. Urbom denied Veed's request on
Aug. 25 for a preliminary injunction to stop
collection of fees.
Veed, also represented by Murphy,
objects to the way fee monies are spent. In
presenting the request, Murphy said the
money is spent for a private newspaper,
speakers on sex, rallies in the coliseum,
attacks on the President and student strikes.
He likened mandatory Dairy Nebraskan
subscriptions to a forced subscription to the
Omaha World Herald or the Lincoln Journal.
A third case will probably be appealed. A
request for a preliminary motion by student
Gregory Hickman was refused Aug. 25 in
U.S. District Court.
Hickman is contending mat the
University violates his constitutional rights
by refusing his registration and withholding
grade reports because of unpaid parking
fines.

Better late than never
Disaster that's how one
staff member described it.
nother pegged the paper
we'd planned for last Friday
the "now-you-see-it-now-you-don't"
issue.
At any rate, our plans were
short circuited. The 1972 fall
Daily Nebraskan didn't really
debut last Friday as planned.
Greek
houses
complete
rush
Since formal rush activities
were concluded August 27,
both fraternities and sororities
at UNL have experienced a
slight increase in the number of
members.
Rush is the system
fraternities and sororities use
to select new members.
According to Mrs. Jayne
Wade Anderson, coordinator
for sororities, fraternities and
cooperatives, 376 girls pledged
sororities this fall.
After four days of
orientation, tours of the houses
and three sets of "parties", 33
girls chose to not pledge a
house. During the course of
rush week, 35 girls withdrew,
making a total of 68 girls
withdrawing from rush.
Less girls withdrew or didn't
preference this year than last,
according to Anderson.
While sororities only use a
fall formal rush procedure,
fraternities pledged men
during the summer.
Between July 1 and August
20, 412 pledged according to
3 ill Beer, Inter-Fraternity
Council Treasurer. Out of 120
going through rush week, 112
pledged. The total was 12 more
than pledged last year.
Mike Denker, IFC Rush
Chairman said 80 per cent of
fraternity novices pledged
during the summer.
Students interested in
joining a Greek house can
contact either Panhcllenic or
IFC in the Nebraska Union and
sign up for open rush this fall,

Last-minute difficulties with
our printer's press caused the
papers to be smudged, streaked
or unreadable.
But before the decision to
not distribute the paper was
made, a few hundred copies
escaped. Consequently, the few
of you who caught a glimpse of
our "trial run" will be reading
many cf the same stories in
today's issue. Just the same,
hang onto that illegitimate
paper. Someday it may be a
collectors' item.
Although this is a make-up
edition, Wednesday we'll be
back on regular publishing
schedule: Monday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.
Premiering four days after
we planned, is our first weekly
magazine supplement entitled
friday. Administrative changes
which potentially effect every
student on campus are
discussed in this edition.
What remains unchanged is
our intent to provide UNL
students with a forum for their
views and a place to find out
what's going on on campus.
