Tassels
To Vote
On Rules
Proposal Stops
Queen Badges
A change in campaign rules
for Homecoming Queen has
been proposed by Tassels.
The proposal, which is to
be voted on next Monday,
would eliminate all campaign
ing witn the exception of a
banner on the living unit and
skits. There would be no in
dividual posters or badges
worn by members of the liv
ing units.
"We feel that this would
save time and money and be
more fair," said Ann Kotouc,
treasurer, 'it would allow for
equal publicity. Then the girl
would be elected by what she
had done and not by how well
her living unit campaigned
for her."
The Tassels would distribute
a poster with pictures and
names of all candidates to
living units and University
buildings.
The limit on campaign mon
ey spent by the candidates
will remain the same at 15
dollars.
'The candidates have been
going over this amount in the
past. Now they will be able
to stay within the limits," said
Miss Kotouc.
Pictures of the candidates
will be paid for by the candi
dates but Tassels will arrange
for them to be taken by the
same photographer. This is as
It has been in the past.
The new men's dormitory
being constructed near 17th
and Vine Streets will bear
the name of George Abel Sr.,
prominent Lincoln business
man and a 1906 graduate of
the University. Affirmation of
the naming came Friday
from the Board of Regents.
Abel Hall is expected to be
complete by the fall of 1965.
Abel graduated in civil en
gineering from the University
in 1906 after coming to Lin
coln from Fremont. He
helped run the Abel-Roberts
Construction Co. until 1916
when he founded his own com
pany. Abel was affiliated
with Acacia Fraternity at the
University.
Abel was president of his
company until he died in 1937
at the age of 54. He was. dur-

How would it affect busi

beef when the farmers and

. cCashland values the new
institution because scholar
ship monies are not released,
but staff time is. He said that
in this way, schedules can be
arranged to benefit the stu
dent the most. Also, the Ca

fession although this is part
of the basis of selection.

Martin's dealing with student

fair in giving students a sec

The cases handled by t h e
Tribunal this year included
bad check writing and petty

in the past, most of the Tri

minor students with liauor law

J-Students Initiate
Safety Campaign
"Don't Make Highways Die
Ways" will be the theme of
some 100 billboards spotted
along Nebraska streets and

journalism at the University.
The safety slogan project was
initiated by Albert Book, as

mented. "There was nothing
else we could do."
"Overall, I think Tribunal
is more effective this year
than in the past. Martin has
given us his guarantee that
no student would be expelled
without a chance to be heard
before us."
Basically. Martin hears tha
cases which involve an error
in judgment in individual con-
ference. When official action
is taken, the student is pro
vided a chance to talk to the
Tribunal.
Another factor which could
be responsible for the drop in
the Tribunal's work is that
there have been fewer mis
conduct reports ths year,
according to Vice Chancellor
(jr. Kobert Koss, dean of stu
dent Affairs. Ross termed this
decrease "surprising" in
view of the University con
stantly expanding student
body.
The purpose of the Tri
bunal , according to Frank
Hallgren, who was Martin's
predecessor, is not to give
students a chance to dis
ciDline their fellow students.
but to give them an under
standing of the problems faced
by the University administra
tion in dealing with miscon
duct cases. Hallgren added
that the Tribunal often helps
the students involved by giv
ing them a chance to see how
their offenses will affect their
futures.
