In the hope of increasing the news coverage of the campus, the Daily Nebraskan is today announcing the addi tion of a Special Feature Editor to the staff. Applications will be accepted from any student interested in the position. One of the main duties of this new staff member will be to see that items which might otherwise be discarded as too short to use are expanded in greater detail in feature stories. More attention will be concentrated on departments and organizations which may have been slighted. The Daily hopes by this method to enliven student in terest in their university and its activities. Report on Progress . . Another new feature of the Daily Nebraskan begins today under the name of "Council". The column will be published each Friday and will report the order of business of the Student Council. Since much of the criticism hurled at the Council comes from the lack of publicity given to that organization, the column will give a complete summary of the business so that students may judge for themselves just what the gov erning body of the campus does accomplish. Dear Editor: I read the fine editorial appearing in the Nebraskan last Tuesday and am pleased to know that the newspaper's policy is such as to be considered mature, progressive, and commensurate with the general policy of the "Univets" in this important and serious matter of the University's biennial appropriation. I should like to point out, however, that the Veterans Organi zation's E. F. C. (Educational Facilities Committee) has been, and is, operating on an extensive basis in promoting an appropriation from the state legslature which will enable the University of Nebraska to rank among the best of the other land-grant colleges. At this mo ment, the legislature's Budget Committee is surveying the Univer sity's Budget requests and the Governor's recommendations. Their findings and conclusions will be presented to the state senators in March when the Budget bill moves to the floor of the Unicameral. Governor Peterson has recently released, to the state senators and public, his rcommendations for the University. His recommendations are, in the eyes of the E. F. C. and every liberal-minded friend of education, disgracefully inadequate! The lobby committee of E. F. C. has been operating effectively for some time and its chairman, Duncan Frasen, will appear before the Budget Committee to speak on behalf of th "Univets" in March. It is not too late for the student body to do something practical and constructive in regard to this University appropriation. The stu dents can accomplish a great deal and can, if they desire, be a potent force in securing the needed amount of money. We'd all like to see such things constructed as: A new fine arts building, hydraulics lab oratory, electrical engineering building, Teachers College training school, Ag facilities, health service, etc. We can have these things if we want them badly enough and do something about it! Definite action has been taken to unify the student body behind an adequate, sensible appropriation. There will be more about this in the very near future. x Don J.

Lutheran Pastor Council Corner &y Sam Warren At this week's Student Council meeting Wednesday, a new mem ber was appointed to the council, an officer vacancy was tempor arily filled two committees were appointed, members selected for a board and a group representing the Uni-Vets was heard. Martin Pesek was elected by the council, from two men filing to fill the position of junior dele gate from Dental College vacated by Gordon Cooley. Joanne Ackerman, junior wm an from arts and sciences, was appointed acting secretary by President Helen Laird. Dorothy Mastin last held the office. Voting:. A constitution revision com mittee was appointed by the pres ident to prepare revision recom mendations for voting by the student body at the spring elec tions. Members are Ned Raun, chairman, Sam Warren and Har old Moser. A second committee to assist in forming plans for this year's hon ors convocation was named at the request of Dean Burr, chairman of that convocation committee. Mary Claire Phillips and Ned Raun were asked to serve. From a list of four names sug gested by the Student Union board, the council chose two members to fill vacancies for af filiated and unaffiliated senior women. Betty Chipman and Blanche Duckworth were chosen. Univets. Four members of Univets, in cluding Don Kimmel, Don Baker, Duncan Fraser and Carl Bouton, appeared before the coun cil to seek backing of the student body thru the council for their current project of lobbying at the legislature for the proposed six-and-a-half million dollar uni versity budget. A proposal was handed to the president suggest ing creation of a new campus or ganization to give evidence to the legislature that more than veteran students alone favored the budget proposal. The organization was to be made up of heads or representa tives from all campus organiza tions. On the basis of past experi ence with the presidents' board, the council rejected the proposed organization asbeing unweidly and therefore inefficient. Council. By resolution the council did, however, endorse the Univet's project and any action they might take upon approval of the chan cellor, with whom the group said it had been working "hand in hand." At its next meeting, the council will form a committee of council members and students-at- large to work with the Univets.
