Last Wednesday, the Council put a stamp of approval on the revised constitution. It will now go to the Facultv commute vl1 -'luut:1i' wiKdiiia tions, which win examine the new document. Headed by H. P. Davis, the committee plans to hold weekly meetings to examine each sec tion of the constitution word by word. It is reported that stu dents will be called before the committee to give varying views on the revised sections. Faculty members of the committee in ad dition to Davis are: Miss Mary Mielenz and Dr. Curtis Elliot, Student Council sponsors; H. A. Smith, and Emanuel Wishnow. Sprint Election In view of the faculty plan, and considering the fact that only two and one half weeks remain in the semester, it seems likely that the new constitution will not be approved in time for an election to be held this spring. Some faculty members have expressed doubt about the constitution being approved in its present form. This, plus the opposition within the present Council to the revised plan, points to the possibility of an other interim council, which will probably be chosen in the same manner as the present Council. Within the Council, there has been disagreement over the in clusion of the representatives of committees. Last week, article 4, section 1 of the revised plan passed by a bare two-thirds ma jority the minimum by which an amendment could be passed. Committee System The committees would provide for one representative from each of four groups. These groups would serve as coordinating bodies between the different campus organizations. One of the primary objections to the plan has been that it would take away functions of existing com mittees, and set up an even more complicated system of govern ing that now exists. For exam ple, the student spirit committee would take over the function of the rally committee; the religious welfare committee the duties of the religious welfare council. Last fall, when council mem bers met for the first time, they were told that their function was to "evolve a new plan for Coun cil election and representation." Not until Feb. 9, however, did the Council begin consideration of the revision. After two and one-half months of deliberation, the Council came up with a con stitution which would provide for: 1. Political parties. 2. Representation through; colleges for 17 representatives. 3. Two sophomore members at large. 4. Six holdover members from the old council. 5. Four representatives from committees student spirit, campus improvements, reli gious welfare, and orientation and activities. The committees would be made up of camp1"' organizations particularly iv terested in the specific com mittees. 6. Election campaigns, to be regulated according to rules set up by. the Council. 7. A Hare system of repre sentation. Differences The revised constitution differs only slightly from the former constitution. One of the main differences is that in the repre sentation from colleges, there is no guarantee of representation to women. Publicity rules have been broadened in the new plan. As far as political parties are concerned, there is little differ ence, since the old constitution allowed a party system also. If an interim council is set up again this year, the method used for choosing the present Council will probably be used again. Un der this system, 22 organizations were granted representation on the Council. This, plus the four holdover members, made up the Council. If the plan is used next year, there will probably be more than four holdover mem bers. Complaints One of the most constant com plaints from some council mem bers has been the "hurry-up" attitude of some other members. As late as April 20, a new plan calling for a two house legisla tive system was presented. How ever, objections which met the Plan centered around the fact that it would entail starting al most from the beginning on a new plan. As it now stands, it is -up to the faculty committee under Da vis to decide the fate of elections this spring. The committee will meet Thursday, May 4, and may decide at that time ' what will be done concerning the forma tion of the Council next year. Student's Picture Wrong in Rag An inadvertent mistake in Sunday's edition of The Daily Nebraskan was reason for the jTong identification of Joseph Klischuck, a Ukrainian DP stu dent at the University.

Union History Beginning in 1930 with an in itial drive when Ray Ramsay, then alumni secretary, and Os car Norlingf editor of The Daily Nebraskan, pushed original ideas for a Union, a campaign de veloped into a dynamic action. Members of the Alumni coun cil Innocents society and the Student Council took up the fight. After a great deal -oi op position and difficulties result ing from several legal barriers, petitions were circulated among students to determine whether they would be willing to pay a small fee to defray the cost of maintenance. The Alumni council revealed that University graduates would furnish the building with neces sary equipment through dona tions of $75,000. Construction began soon after Feb. 14, 1936, after plans were submitted by two former Corn husker graduates, architects El lery pavis, '06, and Walter E. Wilson, '14. Later construction progress was interrupted several times. However after a few dormant spells, the building was com pleted and the open house fol lowed celebrating a final tri umDh. Total cost of the building was $400,000, 45 percent of which was met through a PWA grant, and the remaining 55 percent to be paid over a period of 15 years.

D(tf Scientists Will Convene At Wesleyan Profs to Explain Individual Works Nebraska Wesleyan campua will be swarming with. Nebras kan scientists Friday and Satur day for their Nebraska Academy of Sciences meetings. New developments in the fields of biology, medicine, chemistry, physics, engineering, earth science mathematics, anthropology and history and philosophy of science will be presented to the academy. Each scientist will explain his project to the group. Eleven University professors, instructors and students will par ticipate in the chemistry, physics and engineering divisions of the meet They are H. G. Deming, Oliver C Collins, J. B. Thompson, V. W. Arnold. T. B. Jefferson, W. F. Weiland, Theodore Jorgenson, D. H. Temme, F. L. Pelton, Charles Haynes and E. Mott Davis. WeiUnd's Project Weiland's project is entitled "Why a Crankcase Oil Should Be Changed Frequently." Wei land says that lubricating oils are subject to temperature and pressure conditions in an engine and tend to break down rapidly to form corrosive acids. These acids disintegrate metal in the bearings and elsewhere in the engine. The presence of water, gasoline and road dust will ac celerate this breakdown. According to Weiland, tinder ordinary conditions an average of 1,000 miles between oil changes is desirable. Working on atomic energy and related fields are: Jorgenson, working with isotopes; Temme, who will present an exhibit of neutron counting and radiogold; Pelton, working with radioac tivity in photographic plates; and Haynes, who has found applica tions for tracers. Weight Saving Jefferson has as his study, the effects of cooling fins. The me chanical engineering professor has found that a weight saving of as much as 25 percent may be obtained from a fin design of non-conventional style. He has worked with heat trans fer and rate of flow, and is now working on the determination of an optimum fin shape. Collins' work is with lines and planes of position whereby an interspacial vessel could be lo cated in the remote reaches be yond our atmosphere. Under Col lins' plan, navigators can easily find their positions by using a three dimensional "fix." One method of arranging this fix would be to take bearings on three fixed stars.
