COUNCIL DEFIES FACULTY STAND Resolution Abolishing All Minor Offices Passed After Elections. POWER 0FJ30DY ARGUED Committee Named to Find Limit of Control of Administration. Because of Tts belief that true das spirit cannot be manifest by such "iwus" meetnlgs as were held Tuewlay of this week for the election of minor officers, the Student council Wednesday eve ning went on record as being dc finiiely and unalterably opposed to the" continuation of thece port- loiios, rrgaruiess oi wnm uic mt ultv has to say to the contrary, fh urtthot of the action wa? the failure of the faculty commit tee on student organization to rt if v Home lime back the de mand of the council that all minor class offices be forever abolished from the University of Nebraska. Now, however, the council has taken the matter into its own hands and baa declared the o.n ces obliterated from the campus. "Minor class offices are no longer In existence," reads a reso lution submitted by Bill T. Mc Cleery and adopted by unanimous vote of the governing body, "and class presidents are no longer em powered to call class meetings for the purpose of electing such offi cers." Faculty Control Argued. A suggestion was made that the Student council request the faculty committee ou tludeul or ganisation to give a statement as to the latter' authorized power in vetoing and amending Student council legislation. This was not a direct result of the action just taken but was considered by the council to be a matter of utmost importance to it in other past and future legislation. No definite move was taken by the group other than that the president, Ralph Raikes, was em powered to appoint a committee (Continued on Page 4.) Talk of State Basketball Meet Removal From Here Is Gossip Selleck. TIPS LACK AUTHORITY John K. Selleck. business agent for athletics of tbe university, stated today that as far as he knew the rumored change of the state high school basketball tour ney from Lincoln to some omer place was pure newspaper gossip. "No one in authority has men tioned tbe change to me at any time," he said. Th nlan of chance as contained in yesterday's papers involved the receiving of bids from oifferent towns and the guaranteeing of a certain amount of gate receipts. According to Mr. seuecK me uni versity guarantees the tourney nothing. Unsatisfactory gate receipts were given as the reasons tor the rhanpe in the news leport. Mr. Selleck sees nothing peculiar in the oimmisnmg oi me gaie ic ceipts. "Pveducing the size of the tournament from three or four hundred teams to thirty-two is bound to decrease tbe gate le-ft-ints hwause nracticallv .ill of tbe spectators are team followers who come to Lincoln eepeciajjj- t-u see their home team play." he said. In former years almost a fourth of the teams in the tourna ment came from within a radius of 150 miles and many Boosters accompanied their team to Lin coln. This year tbe size of the tournament was reduced and tbe lfgii-nal tysteui brought partici pants from all over the state and still further reduced the number of gate receipts. "We are but slaves to serve tbe high schools as they see fit" said Mr. Selleck. The attitude taken by the university, according to Mr. Selleck. is one of service. He said that the coliseum was at the high schools' disposal if they chose to make use of it. The university does not benefit financially, in fact its costs the institution sev eral hundred dollars every year. STUDENTS I'RGED TO SIGN LP FOR ENGINEERING TRIP Prof. C J. Frankforter urges that all students of the engineer ing college who expect to make the Chicago inspection trip sign up with some member of the com mittee by Saturdsy noon, March 22.

In addition to this service which the Children's theater renders to voung people, Miss Howell believes that it provides good experience for dramatic students, prior to their participation in University Players productions. "We have not atempted to make money from these plays," contin ued Miss Howell. "We charge twenty-five cents admission, thus making it possible for many chil dren to attend."

SEATON CHECKS PARKING PLANS OF Official Says Drill Field Privilege Is Sought by Many Instructors. RESERVEDFOR FACULTY Lesser Rank Teachers Will Get First Right if More Space Used. L. r. Seaton. operating super intendent of the university, put a damper on both plans suggested bv The Nebraskan in an editorial Tuesday for solving the campus problem whrn Interviewed con-; cernlng them yesterday. I Th Nebraskan's plan was to , allow rtudents to use part cf the parking space now reserved for , the facultv members but larcely unoccupied on the south side of ; the drill field or to allow panting ; at an ansle to the curb on one , side of Twelfth street from R street to the end of the pavement, j Instructors Ask Privilege. Tbe space just north of social sciences Is now reserved for only those faculty members with the i rank of professor or assistant pro- I fesaor. There are many instruc tors of lesser rank who are ask ing that they also be allowed to park there. If more of the re served space is made use of these facultv members would of course have the first right to be allowed to park there," said Mr. Seaton. Mr. Seaton believes that during the winter and even at the pres ent time there are many who have the privilege of parking on the drill field who do not do so because the ground has been so soft and muddv. Hs thinks that with the warmer weather the parking space win oecome more oira psixcu nu many more professors will make use of it than do now. If this is the case, the student parking sit- natlrin a-ill he aomewhat relieved. If not, then the other members of the faculty who are asking for the privilege will be allowed to park their cars there and thus remove many of the cars that must now be parked on the streets.
