Case of the Hot Potato . . .
The Daily Nebraskan's constitutional assembly may
be the last chance for interested students to revise the
Student Council's constitution for quite a while.
The Daily Nebraskan is trying to prove that students,
especially the independents, are interested in a better, at
least a different, constitution.
Many students have claimed that the Council's con
stitution is inadequate, and that the Council itself is un
representative of the studenty body. This last is obvious.
The Daily Nebraskan feels that there are enough students
with enough interest in the situation to attempt to rectify
it. The Daily Nebraskan has given them a chance with the
proposed constitutional assembly; now is the time for these
students to act.
If they do act, The Daily Nebraskan will have proved
its point, and w?e may assume that student interest will
make certain changes in the constitution.
But if they don't, The' Daily Nebraskan can do little
else put drop the hot potato and conclude that campus
political interest is confined to the organized houses.
Which is it to be?

Well, it looks like the picnic
and party season is here in full
bloom again and lvady to stay.
This past week was full of busy
picnics and parties.
The Phi Delt picnic Saturday
nite was a big success with thirty
to forty couples crowding the Na
tional Guard grounds in Ashland.
The picnic started about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. Some of the en
thusiastic picnickers braving the
cold weather were Bill Markham,
Jo Moss, Jack McMann and Mary
Doyle. Dick Lau escorted steady
Barb Durland as did Bus Steb
blns bring Sandy Mandell, Nancy
Miller and Paul Bloomer, recently
unpined ,(not from each other),
attended the gayiety also.
The Pike was a popular place
Saturday nite. Rob Romm and
Aileene Derigr were there dancing
as was Bob Krycik and Georgia
Breeze.
Friday nite brought bad luck to
Lavon Fritson when he was re
turning from "College Night" at
King's. He was involved in a
three car accident in the Sigma
Nu driveway. What was the dis
traction Fritz???
"Congratulations" are in order
for Mother Telton, of Farm
House for acting as a second
mother for the past fifteen years.
The fellas honored her with an
informal tea Sunday atfernoon.

Dear Editor:
I would like to express my disapproval of the Faculty Senate's
recent changes in the basis for honors achievement.
I think I am correct in saying that, in the past, the upper ten
per cent of each class in each college was listed on the honor roll.
This policy was in no way unfair to any student. Each student was
competing with other students of the same grade levvl who were
taking very similar courses.
Probably one reason for the change was to Make the honor
list more exclusive. However, even if this reason is valid, though
I think it is not, the same could be accomplished by simply
lowering the percentage of eligible students under the old policy.
The only other reason I can think of for the change is the
ease in computing the eligible students under the new plan. Again,
I do not think this reason justifies the change.
Under the new plan upperclassmen must have a weighted aver
age of seven to be eligible. I'll bet a quarter I can count the
engineers who achieve this average on my fingers and toes.
Sincerely,
Norman W. Lundberg.

Greeks Plan
Parly-Party
Schedule for Everyone
By Dorothy Nordsxen.
Party, party open houses . . .
teas . . . formals . . . What more
can one ask? There are all these
and more for campus Greeks and
for others too.
The social season for sororities
begins with the football season.
After each game most of the
sororities on campus have open
house and serve coffee and dough
nuts to anyone who comes. Invi
tations are extended to all.
Once a year a tea is given by
each sorority in honor of its
housemother. The president and
housemother of every organized
house attend these teas.
THE BIGGEST EVENT of the
year for the Greeks is their an
nual formal. Each house has one.
It is usually held in one of the
bigger hotels down town. This
party is closed, except to mem
bers and to people who have re
ceived bids from members. Some
sororities also have small formals
in their houses. This type of. for
mal is strictly for members and
alums.
Fraternities go all out for par
ties during ttie year. They usually
have one or two house parties
that are open for everyone. There
are other house parties that arc
for members only.
THE CLIMAX of the season is
readied when all the fraternities
go together and give the Inter
fraternity Ball. There the Inter
fraternity Sweetheart is presented.
The Ball was held in the Union
ballroom this year and due to lack
of space, it had to be restricted
to fraternity men. In previous
years it was held at the coliseum
and was open to everyone.

President Truman wants im
mediate attention given to the
North Atlantic Pact in Congress,
but Washington spokesmen said
that speed is not likely. Approval
will be granted but Democratic
Leader Lucas could only promise
that ratification will be given in
this session of Congress.
It is necessary for the pact to
be ratified by all the member na
tions before it can be effective.
SOME STARTLING figures
have been revealed in the fight
for reduction of European Recov

is three times greater than the Eu

supposed to aid. Europe had a na
tional debt of 148 billion dollars
in 1946 compared with the United
States' 270 billion.

it was probable that his sight may
