Seeing the need for a system of political parties on the campus, the Council is taking steps to encourage develop ment of such a system. The Council itself can not form the parties; the parties must be the result of planning and ef fort on the part of students interested in student govern ment. Tonight a meeting is being held in the Union for the purpose of "explaining the provisions of the Student Coun cil constitution pertaining to the formation of new political parties on campus." Students who have complained about the election of Student Council members and who are seeking a system whereby candidates may be nominated and elected as democratically as possible, should take heed of this meet ing. It is an opportunity to find out the major and minor points of the Council's constitution. Whoever makes use of this opportunity will be in a good position to start the wheels rolling in the formation of a student political party. Once the campus returns to a system of political parties real parties which are organized on an active nine month plan instead of on a six-wccks-before-election basis there should be some chance for students to get a taste of what political life is like before they are confronted with it as responsible and voting citizens of the U.S. 'Kallicrine' Cow Busts Milk Mark 'Katherine," a University North Platte sub-station Hoistein cow has just completed the lifetime production of more than 100,000 pounds of mHlf.

Maxwell of Ag college is plan ning to send out "well over" a million trees for farm planting this spring under the Clarke-Mc-Nary program. "The storm and blizzard cer tainly proved the value of wind breaks and shelterbelts and this year should be a good one for spring planting," said Maxwell. The Clarke-McNary trees are distributed annually by the Agri cultural Extension service in Ne braska. Farmers and ranchers pay a slight charge for shipping and packing the trees. Dr. Wulf. A J.

Appropriation Includes Raise For Employees In proposing a 20 per cent in crease in its operating budget, the University has determined how this additional money will be spent. Since University salaries and wages have lagged behind the cost of living, one-fourth of the in crease will be used for pay raises. Six per cent of the increase is needed for part-time teaching and research employees. Of those funds to be used for salaries, 55 per cent will be used in teaching, 25 per cent in research and 20 per cent in public services. HIGH PRICES have been given as the principal reason for the 30 per cent share for equipment supplies and operating costs. Of this amount, 35 per cent will go for teaching, 35 per cent for re search and 30 per cent for public services. Seventeen per cent of the in crease will make up for veteran tuition losses. Ninety per cent of this money will be used for teach ing, and the other 10 per cent will go for research. TWENTY-TWO per cent of the increase will be used to hire 139 new employees. These employees are mainly replacements. About 50 of these people will be hired to adequately staff two public service agencies, Agricultural ex tension and the University hos pital. Fifteen will be pure re search personnel for the Agricul tural experiment station, and 30 will be research-teaching people in engineering and the basic sciences. Baldwin Alters Minor Requisites Students at Mary Baldwin college (Stauton, Va.) will no longer need an 18 hour minor to accompany their major. Under a new system an area of concentration will be used in stead. The major consists of from 24 to 32 hours in one field, plus supporting courses to make a total of 39 to 45 hours of concen tration. An English major, for example, would require 30 hours. Support ing courses for the field of con centration would include 12 hours chosen from specified courses in such fields as art, astronomy, Bi ble, education, French, history, journalism, music, philosophy and speech.

Colonial Cup Thtme. 4-2033 5Cth A Randolph Jaojtl ihsL JAojiL (paqsL BY BRUCE KENNEDY NATURE again went on the rampage this week-end and again it was a case of too much precipi tation. But instead of mountains of snow blocking roads, isolating farms and towns, it was flooding waters that raised havoc. The Missouri, Blue and the Elkhorn rivers flooded their banks. Dikes could not hold the rising waters and hundreds of families were left homeless. Towns through-out Iowa and Nebraska were surrounded by water. Many lower towns were completely flooded. Trains and other transportation had to be re routed because of the rising waters. PRESIDENT Truman was charged by senate Republican trying to put them on the politi cal spot. This accusation came after the president advocated a majority limit on debate. Antici pating a southern filibuster on his civil rights program, Truman needed Republican support to pass the debate limit. But now the re publicans think the president is forcing them into bad political position. SENATOR Mundt introduced a bill that would curb Communist activities Monday. He charged the United Nations with hiring Amer icans that were fired by the state department. The Senator from South Dakota believed that United Nation employes should first be screened by the State de partment.

Director Dallas Williams of the University Theatre highly praised the film on its all-around bril liance. Stated Dr. Williams, "I can't sec how any student can affords to miss Hamlet.' The sup porting cast is wonderful and Olivier does a marvelous job in his interpretStion of the role of Hamlet. The filming technique of fers brilliant new effects to the conventional type of photography. It is without a doubt the finest British movie that I have ever seen."
