A motion to amend the proposed
Court constitution clause concern
ing the election of judges came
from a discussion of the practica
bility of the present clause. It
previously read that the seven
student judges of the Court would
be chosen from the Student Coun
cil by Student Council election
and the president of the Court
would be elected by the Council
from those seven.
This was the only amendment
called and passed by the Council.
The amendment was proposed by
Don Stern, member of the Ju
diciary sub-committee.
Motion for Council Opinion
The motion to amend the pro
posed constitution resulted from
a motion to call for a vote of
Student Council member's personal-
opinions. This motion was
called for by Ray Simmons, call
ing for a majority of two-thirds
in favor of the Court, or killing it
at the present. The motion was
killed without a second.
This leaves the final vote of
the fate of the Court to the Coun
cil at next Wednesday's meeting.
At that time Council representa
tives will give opinions and vote
as to the vote oWheir organiza
tions. Plans for Convention

Renovation
to Begin With
Auditorium
Condemned over a year ago by
the state fire marshall, the Tem
ple building is now in line for a
complete remodeling, beginning
with the University Theater.
Board of Regents members
gave their approval of the plan
to remodel the Temple, Nov. 5.
An architectural firm is now pre
paring specific plans for the job.
Charles Fowler, director of
University buildings and grounds,
said today that he hopes the
"plans will be completed within
30 days," though he admitted that
he may be optimistic.
Theater First.
Fowler revealed that definite
work will be done on the build
ing with the theater plant the
first project. He said the program
may extend over a three or four
year period, due to the University
building fund budget and the ne
cessity of using the building for
classes.
No definite plan for the job
has been submitted to the Re
gents, said Fowler. He commented
that they approved a plan to do
something about the Temple, but
naturally have not been able to
see any architect's plans.
To Consult Occupants.
Fowler said that both the De
partments of Speech and Dramatic
Art and the School of Music will
be consulted about plans "since
they will be the principal occu
pants of the remodeled building."
Approximately $150,000 has
been estimated as the cost of the
theater auditorium remodeling,
which should begin in about three
months. Fowler said tentative
plans do not call for any outside
changes in the building, except
for a special theater entrance
from the street.
The recommendation of the re
modeling was presented to the
Regents by members of the Uni
versity Building committee, in
cluding Fowler, Dean Carl Boig
mann, John Selieck, Linus. Burr
Smith. Dean Earl Fullbrook, M.
L. Baker and Dean Robert Go.ss.
Cable to Capitol.
Fowler also announced that
completion of an underground
cable and conduit from the Uni
versity power plant to the State
Capitol building is expected with
in two weeks. The cable will pro
vide additional electrical power
to the Capitol and the Gover
nor's mansion.
Installation of the cable before
Christmas vaca'tion necessitated
the tearing up of 14th Street for
the laying of ducts for the cable.
The ducts are now in and the
cable is being drawn through
them, said Fowler.
When the Temple was con
demned last year, student reac
tion was immediate. Petitions
were circulated; protests were
heard; meetings with University
officials were held. Theater, Kos
met Klub and opera plans were
cancelled.
Find New Stages.
The Theater "retreated to Ne
braska Wesleyan stage. The Kos
met Klub presented its show at
Lincoln High school. Attendance
at any experimental productions
or shows in the Temple was lim
ited. This year, the University
Theater has scheduled all of its
five plays at the Nebraska the
ater in Lincoln.
In discussion following condem
nation of the building, several
principal ideas were presented for
relief of the problem. Among
them were a completely new in
side for the Temple building, a
Fine Arts building or a Little
Theater building.
