The Students Appeal...
This is an appeal. An appeal to the governing board of
the university ot Nebraska; the board whose job it is to
direct the policies of this university, both for student and
faculty; and to give to the students and faculty alike the
best university possible. With this fact in mind, I appeal
to that board the Board of Regents to return to the Stu
dent Council its privilege of occupying a seat on the
Athletic Board.
The Student Council is supposedly the medium of over
all student expression. I question that in this university.
If this were true, why then should this Council be denied
representation on any governing board operating within the
jurisdiction of administrative authorization? It should not!
A year ago the Athletic Board underwent a revision.
Following this revision the Student Council representative
found a closed door in his face there was no longer a place
for the students' voice on this rejuvenated board. Revision
often means to make better or improve, but excluding stu
dents on these functions fails to ring true as an improvement.
To those who may have withdrawn into their shell too
far, so that even a single ray of illumination cannot pene
trate, I offer this profound observation. The largest single
group in most universities and colleges are students. To
some, this may come as an astounding fact, but nevertheless,
it is true. Usually it is not deemed advisable to overlook a
majority.
It is somewhat easier to disregard this majority, how
ever, since precedence has squelched its voice to the point
of a hoarse whisper. The Student Council has dwindled to
a mere social obligation its elected members, who realize
the futility of attempting any sort of recognition.
There remains one solitary hope for recovery power.
The students are represented by the Student Council It is
now up to the Board of Regents to return to this student
governing body its right of representation and thereby re
new one of the student body prerogatives established with
the building of this university.

There are picnics, and then
there are picnics. Some of them
make the headlines, and are
shouted about. Then there are the
whispered accounts, along these
lines:
Our back-alley "We hang to
gether or . . ." boys had a big
victory celebration the early part
of the week. It's no secret, the
location, that is; since they aren't
noted for square deals, they nat
uraUy picked a round house.
Don't Jump when they screxm
"Shmo-o-o-oooth!" It's a natural
result of much orange pekoe.
After warming- up oh, a few jugs
of hot tea, the Caruso complex
came to the fore. Sober reflec
tion brings to light the fact that
singing sitting down Is easier
than trying to stand up, and many
warblers look fine reclining face
down.
Included among the vocalists
were the Sinatra of 14th artd R,
the old president of 616 No. 16,
new gavel-banger at 1325 H, that
clicker from 15th and S, and a
couple of other fellows. One or
two, anyway enough to make
the usual 28 delegates swell to a
membership of 45.
Getting back in must have been
easier than getting out, because
fewer people remember it. The
latter was accomplished with
baited (we did not say Beta-ed)
breath. :

Newly-Elected
Officers Tuesday
At a candle light ceremony, fol
lowing a dinner in the Union
Tuesday evening, Hesperia in
stalled five newly-elected officers
for the coming year.
Billie Smith, president of the
organization for unafilliated coeds
presided at the service and in
stalled Fern Bohlken as the new
president. Erdice Lukasiewicz is
vice-president and publicity chair
man.
Arlene Wittier is secrptarv
Penny Anderson treasurer, and
Jenny Nelson, social chairman.
Outgoing officers were viov-
president Pearl Doyle. Jackie
Eaeleton. secretary, and Ppi Han.
son, treasurer. Following the in
stallation, plans were discusspH
for a picnic at Antelope Park to
De neia Tuesday, May 14.
The Judiciary Committee, as part of the Student Coun
cfl, has been empowered to draft a recommendation to the
Board of Regents asking that a Council member again be
part of the Athletic Board. I refer the Board of Regents
to the most recent bulletin published on the university be
fore it arrives at a decision on this issue.
This bulletin defines the Student Council as a body of
students popularly elected whose purpose is to assist and
manage student affairs. Above that touching phrase, in
box form, is a statement regarding the importance of stu
dent legislation and government.
These statements read well and look nice in print, but
unless the Board of Regents returns this one power to the
Council it will be another case of looking through a pair of
overworked "rose colored glasses." As further proof of
good looking print, I refer the regents to the last sentence,
contained in that box. Is this actually true?
The Board of Regents can partially arouse the Student
Council from its hibernation slumber by displaying hi this
way a trust in student judgment which we believe has pro
gressed from adolescent to mature thinking. By disregard
ing this issue the board merely confirms a rumor of distrust
in growing Americans, entitled to the right of expression in
one form or another. D. N.
