Express Views About
Reorganization.
STUDENTS APPROVE IDEA
Session Is Result of Unrest
In Regard to Unfair
Campus Politics.
A special meeting of orgnni
7iiliiin heads has been called by
John Gepson, president of the
student Council, to secure
opinions of representative lead
pis concerning: the recent at
tacks on the failure of the council
to function as a student legisla
tive organization. The meeting has
bt pn called ror o o ciock next
Tnursday afternoon in the Student
Council office rooms.
Gepson stated in his letter to or
ganization heads that "During the
past few weeks there has been a
spirit of unrest growing on the
campus in regard to unfair poli
tics and toward the ineffectiveness
of the Student Council to remedy
this accused evil." When ques
tioned as to the possible solutions
to the problem that would result
from the meeting. Gepson refused
to comment. "There is nothing
that can be said about the meeting
now. What the meeting will ac
complish can be seen next Thurs
day." Students Express Views.
Bob Thiel, president of the Inter-Fraternity
council, was enthus
iastic over the meeting.
"I believe that the meeting
should prove successful in gain
ing an unbiased cross-section of
student opinion concerning the
Council, and some benefit should
be derived from the meeting,"
Thiol said. "Although many of the
attacks recently made upon the
Council are unfounded, there are
still defects that need to be al
tered. An example of this is the
predominance of juniors and mem
bers of the Arts college in the
Council membership."
Lee Young, president of the sen
ior class, believed that the meeting
should prpvide an adequate vent
for the recent attacks on the coun

SHOW INCREASE
OVER LAST YEAR
Magee States Ten Pictures
Still to Be Taken for
Senior Section.
An increase in the number of
pictures lor the Uornhusker
was noted in the checkup made
Saturday when the panels for
the fraternity, sorority and jun
ior sections were closed, according
to Woodrow Magee, editor of the
yearbook.
There was an Increase of 40 per
cent in the number of pictures for
the junior section, which is the
largest of any department this
year, due to the decreased mem
bership of sororities and the com
plete representation obtained last
year among them. The fraternity
panels showed an Increase in size,
but only about 80 percent of active
members of campus fraternities
are represented in them.
Ten Senior Pictures.
Ten pictures remain to be taken
to fill the senior panels, and after
these are closed, there will be no
other opportunity to obtain a place
in the book. Mr. Magee urged any
senior who wished to be represent
ed in the book to have his picture
taken immediately, or any frater
nity member who had his picture
in a section to include It in the
class panels, which could be done
for the payment of $1.50. Tabula
tions from senior pictures that are
now in indicate an increase of
about 5 percent over last year's
figures.
The official photographers have
made a special request that all
proofs be returned immediately,
so that the proper picture may be
selected and the panels be closed.
If these selections are not made
soon, the choice will be left with
the photographers.
