Eldon Park: "Using the experi

points and short comings of this
year's Junior-Senior Class Board,
I sha.ll strive: 1. To establish a
new, workable and functional
class organization based on a jun
ior and senior representative from
each of the eight colleges on the
Lincoln campus as presented by
the Judiciary Committee of the
Student Council. Through this
type of board, class spirit could be
C generated not only on a class
level, but also within each college.
2. To organize student advisory
or executive council in every

Engineering already have. 3. To
continue next year, as a service
to the students, the selling of
commencement announcements. 4.
To explore every possibility oi
co-operation with the Alumni As

bridge of understanding between
the alumni and undergraduates.
"When these things are well
started, then will be the time to

standing in the four classes on the
basis of a percentage of the total
nours necessary for graduation in
each college.
The number of hours required
for graduation in each college
would be divided into four equal
parts and each student would then
vote according to the classifica
tion he received from his individ
ual college.
It was moved and passed by the
Council that Bailey continue in
vestigation on the issue and that
he discuss it with Floyd W. Hoo
ver, director of registration and
records.
Under the topic of new busi
ness, Ken Rystrom presented the
Council with another proposal
concerning a students status ac
cording to his accumulated credit
nours.
Rystrom proposed' that the
Council extend the number of
hours from 89 to 97 that a stu
dent may have earned and still
be eligible to vote for the Senior
Class Officer candidates in the
coming elections.
He noted that this would be a
temporary motion, drawn up to
apply only to the present Class
Officer elections, and would al-
How the many students who have
earned over 89 hours and who
will be in school for at least an
other semester to vote for Senior
Class Officers.
Rystrom's proposal was de
feated by a vote of nine to eight.
The proposal was referred to the
Council judiciary committee who
will continue studying the hours
problem. Rystrom and Bailey
were elected to work with the ju-
diciary committee in finding a so
lution to this problem.
Don Nobel, chairman of the ju
diciary committee made a motion,
after considerable discussion, that
the Council accept the judiciary
committee's proposal concerning a
skeleton platfrom to be given to
the new Class Officers.
It was moved and seconded that
the Council accept the judiciary
committee's proposals to elect the
Class Councils from the various
colleges and to instruct the new
class officers to work with this
plan as a nucleus, and to present
a workable proposal on it to
the Student Council by January
1, 1954. '
The Council will meet at 7 p.m.
Monday night to count the elec

within a couple of years it could

assured success."
Senior Class Secretary
Rocky Yapp: "As a candidate
for a class office I stand for the
following: 1. A class organization
that justifies its existence. 2. A
class organization that is repre
sentative of the junior and senior
class. 3. The strongest, closest co
operation with the Alumni office.
4. A successful culmination of the
fine ground work laid by this
year's Class Board. 5. A continua

ments. 6. Complete coordination
among administration, faculty and

sound financial basis for the Class
Board. 8. An immediate reorgani

writing of a new constitution."

New Viaduct Scale Model
Displayed By Engineers
A scale model of a new, stream
lined West O St. viaduct, which
would eliminate the "down and
up" approach, have four lanes
and no superstructure, is being
displayed by the mechanical engi
neers during E-Week.
Th"e viaduct, as planned by the
engineers, would begin at 9th and
O Sts., rather than at 8th St.
where it now begins. This would
smooth out the approach to the
bridge and eliminate the dip
which now exists.
An improvement of the model
over the present structure is a
such as an attractive place, lack
of funds and others lower student
enthusiasm. Unless a name band
can be hired, the interest is too
low to make the dance worth
while. Raising money for the
rental fee of caps and gowns
would be a great service to gradu
ating seniors. The fee is now from
$2.75 to $3.00 at the book stores

programs or coffee hours to dis

Janet Steffen: "I am not cam

for the idea that women can and
should take part in class govern

have proven themselves almost as
capable as men in handling gov
ernmental and financial matters.
As a math major, I feel qualified
to handle the position of class
treasurer (assuming, that is, that
the class "will have some money).
Incidentally, I would be willing to
help the class raise money for
worthy projects such as have been
started this year."

As a candidate for Junior Oss

Other forms of publicity include
the publishing of the candidates

not five weeks before a proposed
