Kirby Page talks at noon Well known peace leader appears at Grand today Transformed by action of the Board of Regents from a purely academic body to a legislative body as well, the university senate, general advisory body composed of Drofcssois and associate pro fessors, now has final jurisdiction over matters affecting more than one college, it was announced to day. By virtue of. the amendment made to the by-laws at the last meeting of the board, the senate may reject any proposal submit ted to it which it deems unwise or contrary to the best interests of the university, subject to certain restrictions. If no action is taken on proposals at the meeting of the senate, following their submission they go directly into effect. Powers much extended. Formerly, the only powers held by the senate were those of final recommendations of all candidates for honorary degrees and adop-1 tion of the academic calendar. The faculty proponed changes or im provements directly to the Board of Regents. Under the new plan, regents hope there will be greater uniformity of faculty action. Approve survey of co-operalives. The regents also approved a state vide WPA survey of retail and wholesale co-operatives In Ne braska, under the sponsorship of the Graduate School of Social Work.

Choir journey waits sponsor Fair extends deadline as group hunts backer The nationally known Lincoln Cathedral choir awaits only the appearance of a sponsor to con clude definite arrangements w ap pear at the New xorn worm a fair. Although no such "angel" had put in an appearance by Wednes day, the dead line set by fair of ficials, John M. Rosborough, choir director, said Thursday that pros pects for obtaining a sponsor ara encouraging enough to justify his request for an extension 01 ume till the first of the week. Pending are requests for the choir to appear on a nationwide radio hook-up and in a concert. SincA the choir must make the trip to New York to fill both en gagements, no commitments nave been made. Rosorough recalls previous gifts. . Cheerful in the hope that the 60-voice choir may yet present its artistic accomplishments to music lovers from over the world, Mr. Rosborough recalled, for a DAILY NEBRASKAN reporter's previous occasions on which the "many fine friends of the choir" had "given generously." A number of years ago, some "friend" sent the choir to Kansas City , all expenses paid. "We weren't singing as well then as we are now," commented Director Rosborough. Explains aims of choir. Anxious that the aims of the choir in undertaking the trip be understood, he explained that, as is natural for any artist, the choir wants to present its work to all who will appreciate that work. "We also want to prove that Nebraska Isn't the crude state that many easterners think it," he earnestly expounded. "Wo are prcud of the university and the state. We want to show people that wc have something here. We hone that our appearance may re flect honor on Nebraska."
