NORTHERN'S Big Name Entertainment has scheduled The First Edition for The First Edition an all campus concert, Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. in the Aberdeen Civic Arena. Tickets are on sale in the Union Ballroom ticket office until noon tomorrow. (Sec page 2 for group coverage.) 'Not attendance policy' Student Personnel announces absence policy for collegians e izo.frteost THE OFFICE of Student Person-nel has announced that any arrange-ments to make up work are between the instructor and the student, follow-ing class absence by the student, and that making up work for unauthorized absence is a privilege. Excessive ab-sence may result in being dropped from the course with a failing grade. Excuses for absence are neither pro-vided by the Office of Student Per-sonnel, or by the Student Health Center. The Office of Student Person-nel may suggest procedures to follow after an absence and the Student Health Center maintains a permanent record of service performed. In emer-gencies other than illness which neces-sitate prolonged absence, a student may request the Director of Student Personnel, the Dean of Women, or the Dean of Men to notify his instructors. When a student participates in a college activity requiring absence from class, the Dean of the College will, upon request of the sponsoring divi-sion, recommend to instructors that the student be permitted to make up the work. Also, the student may present an authorization signed by the faculty sponsor of the activity. This policy goes into effect immedi-ately. Northern's authors organize materials for first 'Read-In "DANGER: Live Wires! A Read-In," is the title of the first of a series of meetings for participants of the "Books and Coffee" sessions. Members of the Language and Literature Department have organized the sessions. The first "Read-In" will be held Oct. 31, in Memorial Union 100 at 3:30 p.m. According to Terrence M. Raczko, assistant professor of English and chairman of the informal get-to-gethers, the first meeting will consist of readings of the participant's own writings and other selections of interest. Students and faculty have been in-vited to participate in the "Book and Coffee" meetings by reading their own works. Free coffee and rolls will be served. "This is only an absence policy, not an attendance policy. I don't think it is a new policy. It is just restating the policy as we've had it," stated Don Vogt, Director of Student Personnel. Vogt continued, "It is not our intention, nor is it our desire to dictate attendance policies to the faculty or to the student. If the student is really going to get any-thing out of the course, he should at-tend it, but this isn't our job to deter-mine this." Vogt stresses that "it is no longer necessary for students to call the nurse's office prior to missing that first class because it will not be recorded in any way. The Student Health Center will keep a record of any students that come in." STUDENT SENATE at its weekly meeting Tuesday night passed a resolu-tion urging voters to cast a "no" vote on Amendment B in the Nov. 5 general election. A "no" vote would remove the $7 million debt limit on the State Building Authority. Senate also added to its by-laws. In all elections in which Student Senate is a participant, there will be two days of voting. Voting will be in the college library and Union Building both days from 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. Absentee bal-lots will be made available to students unable to be on campus on election days. Senate moved to furnish funds to buy two large ballot boxes for use in campus elections. Securing ballot boxes from the city has in the past some-times proved difficult. In a fourth resolution, Senate decid-ed to attach the names and addresses of Senators and the meeting times of Senate to the gift packs to be distri-buted to students. During the second nine weeks of this semester, President Jeff Bartels, Vice-President Gary Bertsch, and Sec-retary Fran Hill will be practice teach-ing. In their absence, Dave Hilgemann, Aberdeen senior, will conduct the meetings and treasurer Jean Jensen will be secretary. Three new committees were estab-lished this week. Senators Kathy Gross, JAMES FARMER, former National Director of CORE, will appear on Northern's campus Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 9:25 a.m. in the Administration Auditorium. His topic: "The Negro in America: What Must Be Done." Dave Hilgemann, and Mary Gottsleben will investigate the advantages and dis-advantages of allowing the establish-ment of social fraternities and sororities at Northern. Gross, Gottsleben, and Keaton Raines will research the feasi-bility of a pass-fail grading system. Merle Hansen, Senate advisor, and three Senators, Pat Carey, Wayne Schlekeway, and Kathy Gross, will study the possibility of establishing a student grievance committee. Keaton Barnes asked the Traffic Committee to look into the possible changing of the rule against backing into a parking space. The Traffic Com-mittee will also investigate various other student questions about parking regulations. Jerry McNeary asked that students be made aware of their legal respon-sibilities when they become involved in an automobile accident. President Bartels said he would look into the matter as a service to students. In other action: Randy Howell said he would report next week as to whe-ther the FM election should be re-scheduled; Jim Cramer will check into the feasibility of Senate bussing stu-dents from campus to home basketball games; Wayne Schlekeway will see if Senate can meet at the various dorms sometime during the year; and Scotty Hannum reported that Big Name Com-mittee "at least" broke even on the Sandpiper's concert. He has been one of the pioneers in developing non-violent direct action methods for the resolution of race re-lations problems. He is one of the founders of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in 1942, and became National Director of CORE in 1961. James Farmer Nixon-Agnew gain NORTHERN students went biparti-san in the campus mock election as they endorsed fourteen Democrats and twelve Republicans. The students gen-erally favored incumbents. The Nixon-Agnew ticket defeated the Humphrey-Muskie team 233-214. Wal-lace's third party effort collected 30 votes. More students voted in the Senatorial contest than in any other race. Incum-bent Democrat Senator George Mc- Govern crushed his Republican op-ponent Archie Gubbrud 422-79. An-other incumbent, Republican Congress-man Ben Reifel, defeated Frank Den-holm 332-160. Attorney General Frank Farrar de-feated Robert Chamberlin 304-188 in the race for governor, while Republi-can James Abdnor put down George Blue by 41 votes. Other Republicans winning state level offices in the mock election were Alma Larson, Secretary of State, and Wild times in store for campus corps says Business Club BUSINESS Club's annual Carnival will be held Thursday, Nov. 7, in Dacotah Hall.

All proceeds from the carnival will be used to finance the club's spring trip to Minneapolis where they tour various business places. The raffle number for the stereo will be announced during the evening. Ron Staebel, chairman of the Booth Committee, encourages all students and faculty to participate in the vari-ous games from golf putting to wild mouse ago to Casino. There will also be various prizes to be given away throughout the evening. All that is necessary is to register your name and to be present at the time of the drawing. All prizes have been donated by various Aberdeen mer-chants. Chuck Nelson, chairman of the car-nival, "guarantees that everyone who attends will receive some satisfaction and pleasure for his time." Farmer led the Freedom Ride, be-ginning on May 4, 1961, in Washing-ton, D. C., and was with one of the first groups arrested in Jackson, Mis-sissippi.

He has lectured extensively and written for numerous publications. His first full length book, FREEDOM — WHEN? was published by Random House in 1966. In reviewing the book for Book Week, M. B.
