And lluskcr fans have given the 16 seniors on the Orange Bowl-bound squad nothing but full houses to play before with never fewer than 66,000 fans in the stands any time these NU seniors have stepped onto the Memorial Stadium turf, which was changed from natural grass to AstroTurf for this season.

Ten of those seniors will be in the two starting platoons for the Huskers, who will be trying to complete their second unbeaten regular season in coach Bob Devancy's nine years at Nebraska. On offense, there's split end Thus the resolution declaring that the representation issue was an important question requiring a two-thirds majority won 66-52 approval. Peki'ng's showing was due to a net gain of three votes while the opponents recorded a net loss of seven. New supporters were Austria, Canada, Chile. Equatorial Guinea and Italy.

Two previous Peking supporters, Cambodia and Mauritius, switched from yes to no, but this was not enough to offset some wholesale changing from opposition to abstention. Making the switch in that category were Peru, Bolivia, Malaysia, Luxembourg, Ireland, Botswana, Cameroon, the Central African Republic and Senegal.

"Very soon, and maybe next year," he asserted, "we will have at last people who speak Chinese among us." The Chinese Nationalists usually make speeches in English. l2S I Dave Walline Bob Newton Regents Urged To Ride Herd On Profs, Students AUDIT OF RECORDS ORDERED Dave Morock Donnie McGhee Coaches Capsules Nebraska's Bob Dcvaney "We've got to keep doing what we've done all season. Our defense has to get the ball and our offense then has to take advantage of the scoring opportunities.

That's been the key to our success." Oklahoma's Chuck Fairbanks "1 don't know if our young team has the capability to beat Nebraska or not. 1 do know we will play with all the determination that we can muster." United Nations, N.Y. i.P -Communist China got a foot in the U.N. door Friday by winning a simple majority favoring ils admission not enough to pull it through but enough to forte the United States to concede that "a new situation" exists. The General Assembly voted 51 in favor and 49 against seating Communist China and expelling the Chinese Nationalists.

Only adoption of a U.S.-backed resolution requiring a two-thirds vote succeeded in keeping the Chinese Communists out. First Majority It was the first time in 20 years that supporters of Peking had won a majority, and many U.N. diplomats believed it foreshadowed seating of Communist China within two years. The resolution to admit the Communists and expel the Nationalists won 51 of those voting in the 12 7-nation assembly. There were 25 abstainers.

Last year the vote was 48 in favor and 56 against, with 21 abstentions. The closest previous vote was a 47-47 tie in 1965. This year Canada and Italy had extended diplomatic recognition to Peking, and their new policy was reflected in the vote. Review In Line The United States reacted with a statement saying that a new situation had arisen, and declaring it would examine its implications in full consultation with "our friends and allies." The statement added that the United States was not prepared to drop its opposition to depriving the Chinese Nationalists of its U.N. membership.

This indicated that the United States might be ready to accept a solution which would provide for continued presence of the Nationalists even if Peking was seated. Officials of the Nixon administration said privately the enitre situation would have to be reviewed. It was plain that the Peking supporters' insistence that the Nationalists be expelled was the key to the situation. Many U.N. member countries which recognize Peking and want it seated but oppose expulsion of the Nationalists.

Wally Winter John Decker Jot Orduna U2M Guy Ingles, left tackle Bob Newton, right guard Donnie McGhee, right tackle Wally Winter, I-back Joe Orduna and fullback Dan Schneiss. Defensively, it's middle guard Ed Periard, right tackle Dave Walline, linebacker Jerry Murtaugh and monster Dave Morock. The Huskers, who wfll be making their seventh bowl appearance under Devaney, must get that unbeaten season to win the Big Eight title outright. The Sooners, who come into the game at 4-1 in the league and 6-3 overall, could tie Nebraska for the championship by winning Saturday afternoon and next week in their finale against Oklahoma State. Twice in recent years, Nebraska has taken an unbeaten record and a bowl berth into the final game with Oklahoma and have come out of it with a 9-1 record.

It happened in 1964 and again in 1966, but one major difference in those two games was that the Huskers also had the league crown wrapped up. Those games also were played at Oklahoma. Balance Is Key Coach Devaney bases his winning hopes on a defense that has been successfully getting the ball away from opponents this season and an offense that has known what to do with it when it got the pigskin. The NU attack has been a balanced one with 2,337 yards on the ground and 1,680 through the air with a passing attack that is hitting on a record pace of 62.2 with only 10 interceptions, low in the league in the latter department. But the Sooner secondary, led by Monty Johnson, has pirated 20 passes, second only to the Huskers' 27.

Both Huskcr quarterbacks have completed better than 60 of their tosses with Jerry Tagge hitting on 63 and Van Brownson on 68. Fairbanks Worried It's the Husker balance that has Oklahoma coach Chuck Fairbanks worried not only balance between running and passing, but between offense and defense. "They may have the best team in the nation right now." the OU caoch says of the Huskers. "They have tremendous balance between their offense and defense. One of the trademarks of any great team is when the offense and defense complement each other.

"Their offense can run and pass and their defense has the speed and strength to force opponents into turnovers." In contrast to the Huskers, who stress balance, Fairbanks has built his Sooners' success around a running game, making the switch to the Wishbone-T offense for the Texas game. Ground Game Successful The Sooners have gained 2,086 yards on the ground and only 805 by passing with sophomore Joe Wylie doing the brunt of the rushing. Last week in coming from behind to defeat Kanas, 28-24, for example, Oklahoma threw only four passes for 28 yards while rolling up 357 on the ground from their Wishbone-T. The 16 Husker seniors not only will be trying to extend the Nebraska unbeaten string to 18 straight, they'll also be trying to get Devaney even on the ledger with Fairbanks. The Oklahoma coach, who was an end on Mighican State teams while Devaney was an assistant coach there, is the only Big Eight coach holding an edge over the winningest coach in the nation.

In their meetings as head coaches, Fairbanks holds a 2-1 edge. Radio Hanoi Says Planes Bomb North Hong Kong Radio Hanoi reported that "wave after wave" of U.S. bombers attacked North Vietnam early Saturday, including a prisoner of war camp where the station said there were "a number of U.S. prisoner of war casualties." In Saigon, an official spokesman for the U.S. Command said he had no reports of American bombing raids against North Vietnam.

Turkey dinner $1.25 Sharp Bldg. Cafeteria. Adv. 5f jJL Frank Vactor Bill Bomberger Rex Lowe STORY AT LEFT By MILAN WALL Star Staff Writer State Sen. Clifton Batchelder of Omaha, accusing the University of Nebraska administration of weakness in disciplinary matters.

Friday suggested the university should screen prospective faculty members and students and then keep track of them "at all times." Batchelder's comments came at a Board of Regents meeting at which the board ordered an independent audit of student activities financial records. That action came during a lengthy exchange involving students, regents and university administrators. The exchange was sparked by a report presented to the regents by the Committee for Undisrupted Education, a group which has been at odds with student government over use of student funds during last May's boycott of classes. Makes Appearance In an unusual appearance at a regents meeting, the Omaha lawmaker said he became interested in the student funds when students brought him "consideable evidence of loose handling of state funds." Batchelder had attended a meeting of the NU student senate earlier this year at the request of members of the committee, known as CUE. At the time, the legislator pledged to see that an audit of student books was conducted by state officials.

Admitting that the Legislature had not responded to his requests for the audit, Batchelder suggested the Board of Regents order an investigation of the handling of all student fees, which go to finance student government, as well as the student newspaper and such services as student health. CUE Wants It ended In its report. CUE had recommended ending the practice of using mandatory student fees to finance the newspaper and speakers' appearances. Batchelder told the regents he considered the fact that students and others gathered to discuss events of last May "an indica tion." "I think I speak for most taxpayers," Batchelder said, adding he believes he has "some evidence of that." Batchelder, self- proclaimed conservative spokesman in the Legislature for the past six years, was an unsuccessful candidate last spring for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Lost To Tiemann The incumbent, Gov.

Norbert Tiemann, won renomination in a close race with Batchelder, but Tiemann lost his bid for reelection earlier this month. The state's taxpayers, Batchelder said, "don't want to see" a university with a budget request "approaching 2 0 0 million run by students." Responding to a question from Regent Edward Schwartzkopf of Lincoln, who asked Batchelder SPEAKING OUT Page 20. where he felt "discipline is lacking," the lawmaker said he believes students should be "screened" before they enter the institution. Regental Supervision "How carefully do we go into the backgrounds of these kids?" Batchelder asked. He also suggested faculty members should be screened and then the university should "see they teach the things the Board of Regents tells them to teach." He also suggested the board should be aware of "the whereabouts and goings-on of professors" and students "at all times." The legislator also said iw disciplinary action had been taken against students who entered the ROTC building last May.

"That indicates the administration is not with it," ha said. Names of students who entered the building were referred to the Lancaster County attorney, but he declined to charge them. They still face possible disciplinary action at NU. More on Regents on Page Seeks Fame -zYoufh -inAttron Rock Qroup By MILAN WALL Star Staff Writer A Lincoln-based band which is striving to produce an original sound in the rock music field has hopes of a national release of its first album in the near future. The band, known as "Heaven," will share the Pershing Auditorium stage Saturday night in a concert featuring a national rock group, "Steppenwolf." "Heaven" cut its first long-play album recently in Lincoln, and its working now to take the demonstration disc to producers around the country in hopes of landing a contract.

"We have an offer for a recording contract," in Chicago, said Ray Ray Gearhart. The 24-year-old Virginia native is the group's trombonist. The demonstration album is full of original sound wirtten by members of the group. "Everybody writes," said trumpet player Colin Keefe of Lincoln. "Everybody has songs on the album, so there's quite a bit of variety." Keefe, 22, is one of three members of the band which have been playing together for about four years.

A number of persons possessing individual or season tickets to Nebraska home games have discovered that the "Big Red Mania" which has taken many Nebraskans by storm enables them to resell their tickets for as much as 300 profit. One enterprising speculator told The Star of selling four tickets to the Nebraska-Oklahoma game for $70 a profit of $46 over the $24 fee charged by the NU ticket office. A $95 Coup The $70 fee falls short, however, of the scalpers' reported best day $95 for four tickets to the Nebraska-Missouri football clash. The university sells tickets for $6 per game or $36 for a season ticket to the 6 home games.

Students may purchase a season ticket for $12.50. Jim Pittinger, NU ticket manager and assistant athletic director, said he is aware of the practice of a few persons mak-fng huge profits on ticket resale, but in most cases a person who complains refuses to name the person involved. Proof Is Needed "If I had proof a person was selling tickets at exorbitant prices, I would see that that person was not allowed to purchase season tickets," Pittinger said. Any university student found reselling his ticket, Pittinger said, would "immediately have his tickets confiscated." Some enterprising students, have found that they can sell a ticket for as much as $10 to $15 outside the stadium immediately before a game. "Human nature being what it is," Pittinger said, "if people are willing to pay a huge price for a ticket, I'm sure there'll be someone willing to sell it to him."

Corp. Nebraska students. The others have joined the group over the years. Oklahoma native Leroy Critcher, 18, was recruited two months ago. Manzel said the group went full time when most of the members got high numbers in the draft lottery.

With the possibility of military service lessened, he said, most of them dropped out of school. "Now, we can do what we want," said the 23-year-old base guitar player. Although none of the members of the band were music majors in college, most have more than 10 years of music training and experience. Twenty-one-year-old Rick Lane, for example, started playing piano about 12 years ago. Now, the Iowan plays keyboards and flugelhorn sounds written by members of the group.

Walters, 22, plays drums, Critcher handles lead guitar and Manzel is the bass guitarist. In four-hour daily practices, the band tries to put the members' various ideas together. "We want to make it," said Gearhart, who joined the group after a tour with belly dancer Little Egypt. The six-man group, formerly known as "Kaleidoscope," also has the help of Richard Weiner, who assumes handyman and bus driving chores.
