body president, said that students leading conferences had to be notified of the change before the conference.
Schnacke requested that the University Council have a special meeting to vote on the request.
*It will be at least three weeks before that can
be executed to the University Senate Code and
the Senate Act.*
To call a special meeting, a petition with University Senate must be prepared to SenEx.
SenEx will not meet until next Friday, and if presented with the petition, will have to schedule an interview.
If the special Council meeting does not have a quorum, the resolution will be passed automatically as the Council approved it yesterday.
The Council debated for 45 minutes about the resolution and tossed back and forth several times.
In other action, the Faculty Council passed the National Academy of Science resolution that recommended reconsideration of federal regulations requiring faculty account for payment.
The Council approved the resolution unanimously, also endorsing grassroots support for changing the regulations in an Office of Management and Budget publication.
Grassroots support supported by the Faculty Council members include non-compliance and fraud.

It was Songer who sent the soldier, Charles Kuhl, to the rear.
From page 1
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower demanded that Patton apologize to the entire division. Senger was told that he would not apologize.
Songer encountered Kuhl again, a week after the invasion of Normandy, when, during a battle, Kuhl ran toward German lines. Songer sent him, and he ordered that they send orders that the man never be sent into battle.
Songer's army duties sometimes extended beyond patching up soldiers in his 'Quackest' platoon.
The 1st Division captured the Ramanagh Bridge and established a bridgehead on the east side of the Rhine. During the first night over the bridge, Songer received an unusual visitor. The man, who was in charge of the Red Cross truck, had seen the Red Cross truck. He requested that a doctor come with him to look at his wife.
"After we were convinced he was not a German, I went with him into German-occupied territory to a small apartment in a large house." Songer said. "His wife was in labor, and I delivered their baby, then made my way back to camp."
Singer received a note from the parents after he returned to the States, but mispaced the words.
His chance to respond came last May when Lincoln put on its Sunday best to celebrate "Dr. Sunger Day." Among the visitors that day was Mr. Sunger, a longtime heavy Dutch accent, she told her story to a large
crowd, then presented a plaque to "the first person to see me and hear my voice."
"It was quite a thrill," Songer simply said
She was home from college for a few days, and her mother got sick. They called Dr. Songer, and he asked that she bring her mother to the hospital for some tests.
The diagnosis was simple; she was over-
weight, she had been sick, she wasn't getting
any younger. He spoke little.
In 1851, when the University of Kansas, Songer's alma mater, began a preceptor program, the first in the nation, Songer was one of its graduates. Songer was also a young medical student for three months.
Songer, however, is not sure whether the KU program actually helps bring doctors to small
"I think some were discouraged when they saw all the work we had to do." he said
Songer said that there were several reasons for doctors moving from small towns to cities.
"The problem is the wives more than the doctors," he said. "There are more things for them to do in the city. I don't think money has much to do with it.
"It's going to be easier, soon, though. Some are getting hungry in the cities."
Songer may be right, but a recent study by a governmental committee showed that there should be a surplus of 70,000 doctors by 1990 because of growing enrollment at medical
But until that time, towns such as Lincoln will have difficulty attracting and keeping doctors.
schools and an influx of foreign-trained physicians.
Songer remained involved with the preceptor program until five years ago, when his own health forced him to cut office hours and his obstetrics practice.
Now, he is aided in Lincoln by a husband-wife doctor team. They are part of a federal program that requires them to spend three years in a small community. But Songer does not think this type of program will help keep doctors in small towns.
"I don't think you can buy a car, but it does get doctors into the town for three years," he
In his office, Songer reflected on his long career, surrounded by his instruments, arranged with precision and the pictures of his children and grandchildren, arranged with love.
It had been many miles and 16 years since that house call one evening in 1964.
"I have no regrets about coming to Lincoln and being a small-town doctor," he told her. "There are so many things that need to be done."
"After the war, it took a while to catch up with medicine. I think it could do it again, I take a different approach."
Songer will retire soon, although he is not sure of the exact date. The man who was born, lived and gave his service to Lincoln will move to Abilene when he takes down his shingle.
"When I retire, I will have to move." he said. "If 'I don't, I'll never be able to get away.'
