This is the opinion of
Frank E. Henzlik, profes

because it would put poli

"should not be."
Henzlik said the amend

Council Adds 41 Groups
To 'Good Standing' List
A total of 41 University stu
dent organizations are in ood
standing as of the Wednesday
meeting of the Student Coun

John Hoerner, chairman of
the judiciary committee of
the Student Council, said the
remaining organizations
could still qualify for good
standing if they would com
ply with the seven basic re
quirements.
Because the accuracy of the
good standing list has been
questioned in the past several
weeks, Hoerner asked any
Council member who is work
ing in the office during the
week to file everything re
ceived from organizations
immediately.
Hoerner asked that his list

"Monument," an oil and

missing Wednesday from the
University Art Galleries.
(A collage painting is a kind
of surrealist art. Bits of flat
objects' such as newspaper,
cloth and pressed flowers
are pasted together in an in
harmonious relationship for a
symbolic or suggestive ef

$150, is about 15 inches square
and is an abstract composi
tion in the cubist style. Nor
man Geske, director of the
Art Galleries, explained that
the cubist style is an arrange

lines in which there is no
recognizable object.
Owned by the Graham Gal

the painting along with other

"They've come up with sev

ball, but most of the plans
aren't definite yet."
Svoboda announced that the
ball would not be televised
again this year. "The lights
required for TV and the rig

destroy the ballroom atmos

have a good time, and that's
hard to do under a spotlight."
