Lucille Hitchcock and John
Gepson to Represent
Nebraska.

cock left Tuesday night for Law
rence, Kas., where they will repre
sent the Nebraska Student council
at a convention of schools from the
middlewest. The conference begins
Wednesday and lasts through till
Saturday.
On the agenda of the conference
for discussion are included a num
ber of topics of interest to all uni
versities. The activity tax plan
will be the subject of one general
discussion group, and the Ne
braska delegates will report on the
progress made at this university
toward securing the adoption ot
the plan. Several of the schools to
be represented at the conference
are already using the plan.
The conference will also discuss
the use of the honor system in con
nection with examinations and as
signments, and is expected to
make recommendations as to the
value of this system. Other topics
include student owned bookstores
and similar enterprises, athletics,
publications, international rela
tions among students, and a gen
eral series of discussions on the
organization and operation of stu
